OPERATES ON BRAIN
Invalid Surgeon Removes Bullet
From Head of Convict.
Propped Up In Invalid Chair Dr. Chap
man Performs Successfully Raro
Operation In Surgery.
Osslnlng, N. V.—The rare opera
tion of removing n hullet from a man's
brain was successfully accomplished
In Sing Sing prison hospital. A re
markable feature was that Dr. Wil
liam L. Chapman of Brooklyn, who
performed the work, was propped In an
Invalid clialr.
The operation was an attempt to
cure Insanity In a prisoner.
The presence of two bullets In the
brain was disclosed by X-ruy. the
one removed being Imbedded almost
two Inches, while the ottier was lodged
behind tbe right ear. When the first
bullet had been extracted the other
was l'ound to be lodged solidly In the
tissue. After a consultation It was
decided not to touch It. The Incision
then wus closed, and the patient re
gullied consciousness.
The full operation lasted one hour.
A piece of skull the size of a sliver
dollar first was removed, and into the
aperture Dr. Chapman Inserted his In
dex finger gently, being careful not
to rupture the brain tissue or draw
blood. Deeper and deeper, with pain
ful slowness, the surgeon probed until
his finger came in contact with the
bullet. Then the surgeon slowly
worked his finger around and under
tbe object, gradually forcing It through
tbe tissue until it touched the side
of the skull, and then half lifted, half
pushed It, along the wull until It
reached tbe opening, where It was
taken out with forceps.
TRIPPING UP A GENIUS.
The young man who married 14 glrla
In three years seems almost to have
deserved better luck thnn a prison sen
tence. He was evidently after Solo
mon's record a.id he seems to have
been on a fair \v.*y to eclipsing It. To
be sure, hlg rnor.il code was exceed
ingly twisted, but a person who can
get away with 14 marriages all his
own must have a gotd deal of pristine
originality which wKI go to waste in
prison. The specialty of Hammond,
which was his name, seems to have
been desertion, says Baltimore Ameri
can. He deserted llrst the army and
then the navy, anJ then one by one,
his 14 brides. The queerest thing about
hlui was that It wasn't tlie desertion
of his brides which landed him in jail,
hut the desertion of the mlt'tury. How
he kept clear of the whole 14 however,
will give most of the married men a
puzzle to solve. Kvadlng mwv than a
dozeti Indies *lth success, onl> to fall
a prey to the stupid aoldletv? It
doesn't sou: d possible.
The lady who got a divorce because
she was compelled to eat with the
dog Is far siheud of the kind who cry

A London dispatch says there has
been a dltYorence between Lenin and

SEA OF CALCIUM
IS SKY MYSTERY
Cornell University's New Dean of
Astronomy Is Studying
Big Puzzle.
SCIENCE'S VIEWS CHANGE
Theories of Evolution of Heavenly
Bodies Reverse of Few Years Ago
—Spectroscope Astronomer's
Greatest Aid.
Seattle. Wash.—S. L. Roothroyd, pro
fessor of astronomy at the University
of 'Washington, who leaves this June
to become the dean of astronomy at
Cornell university, has been adding his
bit, and an important bit It may prove,
to man's knowledge of his earth's big
brothers, the stars.
Many stars which to the naked eve
or through small telescopes appear as
single stars are in fact two stars, cir
cling about each other.
it Is these double stars that Profes
sor Boothrovd has been investigating,
i'art ot' his work has hecu done at the
University of Washington ami part at
the Dominion government observatory
near Victoria. B. C.
Studies Double Stars.
Professor Boothrovd has been study
ing the s|x»etra of two double stars Just
barely visible to the naked eye. One
is known as "Boss No. -tOtrj" and the
other as "II. 11. No. 8S03." They are
so far away that even big telescopes
cannot separate the two stars that com
pose them. The two stars which ap
|H-ar as uue and are called the Boss No.
•ItlfKJ are at least 3.tXX>,UUl> miles apart,
perhaps much farther, and still they
are so far away that they seem one
star in the telescope.
The spectroscope is perhaps the as
tronomer's greatest aid. It is a simple
little contrlvaiii* of lenses and a three
cornered bit of glass that makes a beam
of light Into a rainbow. The rainbow
is divided by dark lines, and these dark
lines are the pets ot the astronomers.
Kach combination of lines tells the
story of vine one of the eighty-odd
chemical elements present in the body
producing the light. The brilliance of
the spectrum and its lines Indica'e the
heat radiated by the ste.r. Professor
lloothroyd states.
"One of the double stars I have been
observing," explained Doctor Booth
royd. "is Hooting in a sea of calcium.
<'aU'iuin is n rare metal on earth, Im
agine an atmosphere of metal so hot it
is vapor and extending more than H.
(xlo.oiio miles! I mil inlying close at
tention to this calcium atmosphere. I:
may give us the clue to the solution ot
several mysteries in connection with
double stars."
Theories come and go on the birth
and life of stars-, according to Profes
sor Boothroyd. Today's best hypothesis
of the evolution of the stars is almost
the exact reverse of the one which held
sway a few years it go.
Only Hazard a liuess.
"Tin- best astronomers hardly have
a theory." said tlie Seattle astronomer
"They dare not. They only hazard a
guess a-^ to the onler of certain things
lu the life of a star. The most likely
story of a star's life has it horn of
nebulous vapor ami tlead as n tiny,
shrunken old sun.
"We now believe that somewhere hits
and Hemps of cosmic dust, the remnants
of old stars and all the litter and trash
of the universe collects and. after mil
lions of years, becomes a nebula. A
nebula look* like a knot of cotton to
the eye and like a cloud Iti the tele
scope. It is made up of tiny asteroids
from the size of a brickbat to perhaps
the size of a miniature planet.
"Why this universal rubbish collects
to form a nebula no man can even
guess. Hut when the nebula has be
come large, gradually the bits work to
ward the center. Heat Is geuerated
Its generation might be <aid to result
from the friction of the particles. Raj>
idly the heat increases and the whole
mass becomes hot. In the course of a
few million years we have a great blaz
ing sun. huge beyond man's best and
biggest dreams.'.'
What other language ever spoken by
man can compare in richness of oppor
tunity witii English! Take, for exam
ple. these words: self-conceit, self-as
surance. self-sufficiency, self-compla
cency. self-will, self-conQdence, self-es
teem, seJf-rellance, self-respect. All of
them express something of a man's
mental attitude toward his own abili
ties and achievements, yet with what
various and delicate shades of mean
ing! As they are here set down they
form almost n progressive series from
the neutral or mildly condemnatory to
the worthy and desirable, says Youth's
Companion. There are both racial
psychology and history in that list.
