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 lng out of the rouf of the structure, lie will report to the Smithsonian instltu t ton, the Archaeological institute ami to the Panama-California exposition department of nrchaeology, nil three of which Institutions nre backing the expedition.

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 O -O 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 day." 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 miral Knight In Command. Orders have been Issued by tho navy department establishing the Atlantic reserve fleet, with Rear Admiral Aus tin M. Knight as commander In chief, at tho Philadelphia navy yard. The fleet will consist from the beginning of tho following ships: The nrmored crui ser Tennessee, flagship; battleships Maine, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin; scout cruisers Birmingham and Cheater nnd protected cruiser Tacoma. Other ships will bo added to this fleet from time to time as they become available. Admiral Knight for several years has been president of the special board on naval ordnance and n year ago was court martlaled and ncquitted on charges of Incompetency in connection with the ordnance experiment on and sinking of liio monitor Puritan In Hampton Roads. Rear Admiral Thomas B. nownrd, who was succeeded a few weeks ago by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fisko ns coramnuder of the second division of the Atlantic fleet was detailed as pres ident of the naval examining nnd re tiring boards. Lieutenant W. Sander son has been transferred from com mand of tho Yankton to aid on the stnff of Rear Admiral Osterhaus, com manding the Atlantic fleet, relieving Lieutenant Robert L. Berry, who will probably bo assigned to duty in AVaah ington. CHARITY OR BOUQUETS. 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 can. live on 3 cents a day? Perhaps you think cut flowers Justify In aes thetic pleasure and benefit their cost, and perhaps you cannot think of any thing elso to send your friend. Think about It" GERMAN FLEET TO VISIT US.
