SURGERY PERFORMED
BY WIRELESS ADVICE.
Bhlp'a Surgon Thus Directs Amputa
tion of Injured Man's Foot.
Dr. C. S. Cnrtcr. surgeon on the Unit
ed Fruit company's steamship Paris
mlna, reports the successful treatment
of n case of surgery by wireless ml
Tlcc to the oierntor nt Swan Island.
A laborer employed on the Swan Is
lnnd tramway, a small road used to
transport phosphates from the Interior
of the island to the shore, was run
over by loaded tramcar and his foot
badly mashed.
The great toe was so badly mnahed
that It hung to the foot only by a
shred of skin. U. A. Fuller, the op
erator In charge at the wireless sta
tion, had the foot tightly bound to pre
vent bleeding nnd then communicated
with the ship, which was 110 miles olT
Swan Island on Its return trip from
Colon. Dr. Carter said:
"Captain Mader advised the operator
that ho would call If It was absolute
ly necessary nnd asked for details cov
ering the nature of the accident nnd a
minute description of conditions, that
1 might advlso what to do.
"After receiving n description of the
wound and being advised by the op
erator that the member had been thor
oughly washed in a strong nutUeptlc
solution I directed by wireless how to
proceed with nu operation to remove
the toe. This was done, the arteries
were ligated, and hemorrhage ceased.
"Our last direct communK-ntion was
420 miles from Swan island, nnd the
report stated that the patient was do
lng nicely. There was no pain In the
foot nnd no rise of temperature. The
dressings were dry. nnd apparently
there was no Infection."
WARNED OF COUNTERFEITS.
Bankers Told to Look Out For Bogus
One Dollar Certificates.
The United Slates secret service has
sent a warning to bankers, railroad
companies, postofllces and various busi
ness concerns In all cities to look out
for counterfeit gold and silver dollar
certlflcates. Acting Chief John E. Wll
kie calls attention first to a new coun
terfeit ten dollar gold certificate, series
1007, with check letter D, plate num
ber 45; W. T. Vernon, register of the
treasury; Charles II. Treat, treasurer
of the United States, and portrait of
Hillegas.
This is n well executed photographic
reproduction on paper of good quality
containing no silk threads. On the
back the radiating effect of the "sun
burst" is missing, with the exception
of a few short sections close to the cen
tral design. This counterfeit, Mr. Wll
kle points out, may deceive even care
ful handlers of money.
He advises all persons to be careful
in accepting one dollar silver certifi
cates, as the United States secret son
ice has every reason to believe that nu
effort is being made to circulate large
quantities of counterfeit certificates of
this denomination. Those being circu
lated now have the check number H.
with the number rather Indistinct,
which might bo taken for G147. They
can bo detected by the lettering of
"United States," near the portrait of
Lincoln or Grant, not being fully
formed.
SEEKS GUATEMALA PALACE.
Dr. Hewett Digging For One For San
Diego Exposition.
Digging a palace out of n swamp nnd
sifting the earth removed therefrom
for valuable curios in the midst of trop
ical verduro in tho center of Guatema
la is the occupation of Dr. Edgar L.
Hewitt, director of the American sec
tion of tho Archaeological Institute of
America. His mission was undertaken
in the interest of San Diego's I'nnnma
Cnllfornla exposition.
A palace, n relic of the Mayas, who
carved statues and built temples when
the Egyptians were building their pyr
amids, when tho Roman empire was In
process of formation, had lain under
the silt and vegetation of centuries un
til discovered some years ago. Dr.
Hewett Inn dreamed of uncovering it.
but not until President Collier of the
San Diego exposition gave blm a com
mission to explore It and tnke what
he finds to San Dlcgo hnu he had an
opportunity to do so.
Dr. Hewett says that trees are grow

OOO
Presidents
To Get a
Eight Failed of a Second Nom
ination at the Hand of
Their Party.
WHEN President Taft contem
plates tho history of second
nominations and second
terms ho must find food for
thought. Determined opposition to a
second term began nnd succeeded with
tho'flrst Adams, though the factlonnl
enemies within his own party could not
prevent his rcnomlnntlon. So secret
was the Federalist caucus of congrew
that renominated Adams Uiat no record
of Its history has been found. Hamil
ton's letter opposing the rcnomlnntlon,
made public against his will and ns a
campaign document of the Republic
nns, came too late to Influence tlie
question of nomination, but not too late
to help defeat the re-election of Adams.
Many believed nnd .Toshih Qulncy
ehnrged from his seat In the house of
representatives that Mndlson obtained
his renomination only after he had
made terms with the war faction of his
own pnrty. Bight years later the cu
rious condition of parties made possi
ble not only the rcnomlnntlon, but the
re-election, of Monroe without opposi
tion. John Qulncy Adams refusal nt
Clay's suggestion to use civil nppolnt
mcnts for the promotion of his second
nomination, but got it all the same,
though he must have known that the
four years' cry of "bargain and sale"
set up by the Jackson men had made
his re-election nearly impossible.
Why Jackson Kan Again.
Jnekson had recommended that the
president bo restricted to a single term
of perhaps six years, and Calhoun,
twice elected vico president, ardently
hoped to succeed when Jackson should
retire In 1833. Before 1833 came
round, however, Jnekson had learned
that Calhoun was the man In Monroe's
cabinet who wished him humiliated for
his high handed conduct in the Semi
nole war. That was enough for Jack
son, and he determined to postpone In
definitely the nmbltions of Calhoun by
running for n second term and desig
nating Van Buren as his successor.
If Calhoun hoped aught as to tho
presidency in 1S32 his hopes were de
stroyed by the attempt of South Caro
lina to nullify the tariff law. Jackson's
enemies tried long in advnnce of the
election of 1S32 to revive ngalnst him
the old chnrge in connection with the
Seminole war and the seizure of Flor
ida, and Jackson then for the first
time sprang upon the country his pro
posal to Monroo to seize Florida nnd
make It ours within ninety days. Poor
Monroe, an impoverished and dying
man, was ealled upon to make nflldavlt
upon his deathbed at the house of his
son-in-law in New York, city, in the
summer of 1831, that ho had never in
dicated his nssent to Jackson's pro
posal. Historians are still puzzled as
to where the truth lay.
Van Buren's Failure.
Van Buren was the third president
to bo renominated and defeated. Jour
neying to Klndcrhook after the panic
of 1S37 had somcwhnt nbated, he was
so kindly received at many places en
route that he hnd false hopes of re
election. Calhoun, who was still camp
ed on his trail (as he had been when ho
cast his vote against the confirmation
of Van Buren's nomination to a for
eign appointment, with tho exclama
tion: "It will kill him dend, sir-kill
him dead! ne'U never kick, sir never
kick!"), had to wait until tho Demo
cratic convention of 1844 to tnke an
nmple revenge upon tho man who he
thought had done him out of Jackson's
favor.
The time of ono term presidents had

AIRSHIPS FOR TURKEY.
Sultan Offers $50,000 From Private
Purse For Air Corps.
The Turkish government has voted
$100,000 and the sultan has contribut
ed S50.000 from his nrlvntu nursn for
the Installation of a regular aviation
1 service in the army.
A school will be crented for tho
training of suitable men In the art of
aviation. Already two aeroplanes have
arrived from France with every mod
ern requisite and well trained pilots.
A number of other dying machines of
various types have been ordered. It is
intended to chooso tho plain of the vil
lage of San Stefnno, where the fa
mous Turko-Itusslan treaty was sign
ed in 1877, as a place most suitable for
purposes of exercise.
The first effort was made on April
27, tho ascension day of Snltan
Mebmed V. The padishah himself and
all the royal princes were present. The
ladles of the imperial harem attended
the llyiug performances in closed court
carriages. They wntched tho nights
from the interior through tho glass
windows as best thoy could.
The orthodox Bctlon of the popula
tion shake their heads with sorao mis
givings at what they consider the
queerest and most dangerous Innova
tion of the west They do not think It
will help them much In their conflict
with tho Italians.
"Ofro ns a bayonet," they y, "and
let tta face tho enemy not In tho air or
upon tho sea, but on Mother Earth,
and w shall ttea who will win the

o
Who Failed
Second Term
Five Who Were Thus Renomi
nated Have Been Defeated
at the Polls.
ooc
nrrlvcd. Tyler vainly tried to build
up n machine that would mnkc him his
own successor. No vice president call
ed to tho chair by tho death of his
predecessor was to bo elected presi
dent until Itoosevelt was thus chosen
in 1001. Van Buren was the first pres
ident disappointed of a second term
who eventually nccepted the nomina
tion of n third party. Fillmore did the
like. Tyler's nomination by nn ofllee
holdlng faction in 18-14 was a more
bluff. Polk had to make way for n
northern cnndldnte In 184S, and ho
would hardly have outlived his secoud
term could lie have been elected over
Taylor.
Fillmore and Pierce.
Fillmore stood no chance for the
nomination against a soldier candidate
In 18Ti2. and Pierce In ISTit! was too
sick of politics and too harassed by
the situation lietween north nnd south
to seek rciiomtnntiou. Besides, It was
Imperative that some man who hnd
been out of the turmoil should be the
Democratic nominee, and Buchanan,
absent "on the Bngllsh mission, was the
mini, In 1S00 Buchnnan's age nnd In
firmities would have been enough to
prevent his renomination hnd he boon
otherwise acceptable to either faction
of his party. He outlived his murder
ed successor more than three years.
Tho radicals In 1SC4 threatened the
madness of a campaign against Lin
coln with Fremont ns their candidate.
Johnwn really hoped that the Demo
crats would nominate him In 1S(5S.
Men not yet old recall tho vain fight
ngalnst the rcnomlnntlon nnd re-election
of Grant In 1872 and the equally
vain attempt to nominate him for a
third term. Arthur was not seriously
considered for renomination. and
nayes throughout his whole term let
It be known that he would not seek
renomination.
The triumph of Cleveland over his
enemies, within his own party nnd In
the Republican party In 1802 after his
defeat for re-election In 1883, Is one of
the most dramatic Incidents of Ameri
can politics. McKlnley had pretty
smooth sailing In 1900. and Roosevelt's
luck and triumph In 1004 were such as
no predecessor had enjoyed since Mon
roe. Eight Failed.
Eight presidents have failed of a
second nomination at tho hands of
their pnrty, and five thus renominated
have failed of election. Perhaps
Pierce, Buchanan nnd nayes were the
only ones to cherish neither open nor
secret hope of renomination nt tho
hands of some party. Loss of mid
term party control In tho houso of rep
resentatives has usually been n bad
omen for a president ambitious of a
second term. In hardly any instance
was tho age alone of n retiring presi
dent sufficient to defeat him of n sec
ond nomination, though some men
have been nominated a second time at
nn ago that would have made it diffi
cult for them to obtain a first nomina
tion. Tho five presidents who failed of elec
tion at a second nomination long out
lived their terms, -while of tho eight
who failed of a second nomination five
died -within eight years of their retire
ment Most of tho presidents who
failed of a oecond nomination took no
very conspicuous part In public affairs
after retirement, and only two ex-pres-ldents
havo returned to congress. John
Qulncy Adams and Grover Cleveland
alono had notable political careers aft
er defeat upon a second nomination.
O O
TO COIN THREE CENT PIECES.
Half Cent Coins Also Favored by Sec
retary MacVeagh.
Urged by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh and George E. Roberts, di
rector of tho mint, tho houso passed
tho bill of Representative Bulkley for
tho coinage of three cent pieces, one
half cent pieces and a change In the
composition of coppers.
Secretary MacVeagh says there Is a
genulno demand for both tho three
nnd the ono hnlf cent coins. The style
of the three cent pleco has been left
to the treasury officials. It was ex
plained to tho commltteo by Director
Roberts that In all probability the
new three cent pleco would have a
deep scalloped edgo similar to small
coins used In somo of the foreign
countries, which, ho says, havo proved
entirely satisfactory. Tho milling on
tho edgo will bo mndo bo that tho three
cent pleco will easily be distinguish
able from the ten cent piece. During
the period whan threo cent pieces were
being circulated tho similarity with
the ten cent pleco caused much coufu
elon nnd was one of tho reasons behind
the decblon to atop the coinage of tho
threo cent pieces.
Secretary MacVeagh says half cent
pieces will provo to bo a boon to tho
slot machine manufacturers. Thcro Is
a legitimate trade In small articles sold
through tho agency of slot machines,
the department officials say. They
pointed out before tho committee, for
ono thing, the vrax cups sold In rail
way stations for which the purchaser
drops a penny In tho slot.
EYH OF h RABBIT
AIDS MAN TO SEE.
Cornea of Animal Successfully Grafted
on Patient and Vision Restored.
In the Journal of tho American Med.
leal Association la told how the cor
nea of a rabbit's eye was grafted upon
tho eye of a patient in n hospital. "The
corneal graft Is perfect and clear mul
vision restored," according to the ur
tlclo in the Journal.
Tho history of tho caso shows that
thcro was "almost complete destruc
tion of the cornea of the right eye and
the pntlcnt was entirely unnble to see
from tho eye nt the time of entrance
to the hospital. Tho eyo was properly
conditioned, pupil dilated and the cor
nea removed."
In describing the operation the nrtl
cle declnres that "under local anaes
thesia the cornea wns completely ex
cised except one-sixteenth of an Inch,
nnd the cornea of the rabbit's eye wns
cut to fit the excised aea." Stitches
were then taken In the membrane
which unites the globe of the eye with
tho eyelid nnd drawn over tho graft to
hold it In place.
In the corners of the eye, where the
upper nnd under eyelids meet, were
plnced small metallic tubes, bent to
fit The tubes were "connected with
vncuum bottles by rubber 'tubes to
draw off secretions which otherwise
would Hood the eye nnd prevent un
ion." In giving further details of the grnft
lng the nrtlclc says that "these were
held in position by bnuds of adhesive
plaster, and the eye wns bandaged for
three days. The bandages were then
removed to seo that the tubes were
kept clear for proper drainage. The
patient was kept In a recumbent posi
tion. Tho cornea of the rabbit's eye
wns removed under an anaesthetic nft
er the patient had been prepared and
transferred to n normnl saline solu-,
tlon until rendy for use."
ATLANTIC RESERVE FLEET.
Orders Establishing It, With Rear Ad

Wellesley Girls Asked to Choose Be
tween Flowers and Aiding Chinese.
Should Wellesley college girls refrain
from buying flowers and turn over the
money thoy -would spend In that man
ner to help feed the starving thousands
In China?
Tho fair maids at that Institution are
considering this question very serious
ly as tho result of nn editorial in the
college paper. The odltorial, In part,
follows:
"Tho writer chooses to be mereeunry
from nn economic standpoint. Do you
know how much money Wellesley
nlono spent last year on cut flowers?
Do you know how many famine worn
Chlncso that would havo given dally
sustenance for months, since Chlneso
