That hair ever turns white in a single night has been emphatically denied by the doctors, in spite of historic instances?such as that of Marie Antoinette?to the contrary. But Dr. Lebar called the attention of the Societe Medicale des Ilopitaux of Paris to an actual case. It was that of a young French soldier who was blown into the air by a mine and buried in the earth, from which he extricated v ? * ?i: as + tt nimseir wiiu uam.uii?>. The man was deafened by the detonation, his fa jo was burned, and there were several bruises on his bead. He was taken to a neigh boring hospital, where the following day be noticed four islets of white hair on the left fronto p..: leu-occipital region of his I .ad. The loss of coior was complete from the roots to tl.e en:1s of the hairs, and the white hairs were as firmly in his scalp as their brown neighbors. ?<?

In many beds ' I the bonvs ure without any infiltrated j ! filling, so that, though perfect In form, ! they ;ire soft and fragile. To remedy I this defect a coat of shellac is applied ; and allowed to soak in. Then a second and third, and often more, are put on. i until the sandstone, or matrix, and bone cease to take up shellac. As soon as the bone has hardened strips of cloth are dipped in flour paste and adjusted to make a firm bandage. When dried in this stage the whole is firm enough to work around, and the adjacent rock is gently removed leaving the specimen on somewhat of a pedesj tal. The preparation and the work of quarrying take three or more days of I careful, patient work. Then finally the | slab containing the bones and hard ened with shellac is wrapped in straw ; and shipped to the institution which ! is to receive them. To take the bones I from the slab and prepare them for | mounting rc-quire all the patience and skill of a master mechanic. Very carefully, often with the finest of dental I tools, it i.-i necessary to dig away the, ; sandstone covering the bones. ; The work becomes more delicate as the fragile bones appear. >As soon as exposed to the air the pulverized mass is given a coat of shellac, and this process is continued until it becomes firm and durable. After the preparator hns tho mnforinl in v.'orkinir shane he must add the missing parts, restoring them with plaster. This requires a careful study of other prehistoric bones.

President Wuson a lew days agi made a most earnest appeal to the nation to come to the aid of the American Red Cross in its efforts to keep its corps of surgeojis and nurses at the front on the battle fields of Europe, j These heroic men of women have done a great work of mercy in which every , American citizen should feel deep in- \ terest and pride. i Thoco cnr?pnn? and nurses, we are I told, must be withdrawn unless imme- j diate aid is forthcoming. The presi-j dent's letter stated that hut $50,000, barely enough to maintain those still in the field for another month, remained in the Red Cross treasury. The president's appeal is direct to j us and every one of us. IWe may be ! able to do but little, but every little j counts. We know what a splendid j work has been done by these selfi sacrificing surgeons ana nurses ana j can not look on indifferently and see the work stopped when fhe need is so great. South Carolina rose splendidly last j winter to the appeal to feed Bel-1 gium. Belgium is not calling to us so urgently now, but many other no less urgent appeals are coming. Let us, as we contemplate ihe coming of the Christmas tide from our own peaceful land anu happy homes, arouse ourselves and make some sacrifice that we may send some little comfort to the wounded and dying on the battlefields or into some grief and poverty stricken homes in the war- I harried countries of Europe. This we can best do by sending aid j to the American Red Cross. It has been suggested that as we plan for our own Christmas gifts we set aside some specific offering for this purpose.
