CUT OUT DOG'S KIDNEYS
AND PUT THEM BACK.
Experiment Proved Possibility of
Grafting Vital Organs.
The official obituary or a dog which
had both kidneys '-ano ed atd one of
them replanted In the Interasts of sci
ence is published in the August num
ber of the Jourunal of Eiperimental
Medicine by Dr. Aiu-1ia Carrl of the
Rockefeller Institute Fr" :Medlical Re
search. The dog lived '.'-n yea"rs and
five months, raised two 'iu'er.- of pups
and died from caces in no way re
lated to the momentous operations to
which it was subjected to prove the
possibility of replanting and grafting
vital organs.
The first experiment was made on
Feb. 0, 1908. The dog was put under
an anaesthetic at 10:12 a. m., and the
left kidney was taken out and dissect
ed. The kidney was Washed with
Locke's solution and immersed in the
solution until the surgeons were ready
to replace it at the end of fifty min
utes.
At 4 o'clock that afternoon the dog,
was able to walk and drink. The next
day the animal appeared to be in nor
mal condition. Thirteen days later the
dog's right kidney was extirpated, but
the organic functions were performed
perfecely by the remaining kidney.
which, had been taken out and re
placed.
The dog continued to live in comfort
under the surgeons' eyes. In March,
1909, she mothered eleven puppies, and
in December, 1900, she had tiree more.
The following May Dr. Carrel examin
ed her again and found her in excel
lent condition.
An intestinal obstruction suddenly
appeared in .Tuly, 1910, and the dog
died.
Dr. Carrel also records the success
ful patching of the abdominal aorta of
a dog with a piece of rubber, resulting
in thq complete regeneration of the
extirpated tissue by the adjacent parts
of the vessel. The caliber of the aor
ta, examined fifteen months after the
experiment, had not been impaired.
Dr. Carrel's conclusion is that under
certain conditions a foreign inert sub
stance can be used to repair the walls
of a large artery.

The party was taken in automobiles
for a ride up the Animas valley. Along
the line are many fauit orchards. At
the Edgar Buchanan ranch fruit of
about every description was found
apples, peachls. pears, apricots, them
ries, plums and all the small fruits.
"I believe I -na eat more cherries
than any man in the world." Mr. Jef
fery said to his host. ai-. liuchanan
Messrs. Blair, Mason and Mcruatlc-on
took this as a challenge acnd ecilared
that the only way to decide the quea
tion was by an actual test.
Farmer Buchanan brought on fi-t
bushels of his best cherries and told
the four men to go to them. Thay
did and never stopped until most of
the fruit had disappeared. Mr. ilair
was first to drop out and was soonaf fl
lowed by Mason and Macutchean.
"Why, I've just started." said .Tef
fery and then ate three peaches for
good measure. He was then v.aled 1th

WARSHIPS TESTING COAL.
Competition Between Cruisers Using
Eastern and Western Product.
Naval officers are Interested in the
outcome of a coal competition between
two warships of the Pacific fleet using
the Pacific coast and enastern coat. For
several months experiments have been
under way with western coal In the I
hope that it might be found as satis
factory for steaming purposes as the
eastern fuel. If this should prove true
It would mean a big reduction in cost
of the fuel used by the navy depairt
went.
The two ships are the armored cruis
ers Washington and Colorado, one
burning western and the other east
ern coal. These two ships have been
chosen for the reason that they are not
only sister ships, but their engines,
boilers and furnaces are identical.
With both using the same kind of coal
they have been found to make exactly
the same speed and to have the same
steaming endurance per ton of fuel
consumption.

Written by Wisconsin Woman, Who
Sends Copy to the White House.
Mrs. Lizzie A. Lucy of Janesville,
Wis., who has always had great diffi
culty in remembering the names of the
presidents in consecutive order, has
written a series of verses to assist her
memory, a copy of which she sends to
Mr. Taft. Referring to Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, he verses run:
Then came one dear to the people's heart,
Who proved resourceful from the start,
Who with large questions had always
dealt
Genial Theodore Roosevelt.
