TRANSPLANTING GLANDS. STRIKING SURGICAL SUCCESS.

An interesting "experiment in surgery has recently been completed in Sing Sing Prison, New York State, in transferring healthy glands from an executed criminal to the boy of a criminal epileptic. An examination by the prison officials, Of George Hauser, the epileptic in question, disclosed that certain glands in his body wer abnormal and defective to an extent which the doctorz 'believed tended to per- petuate and increase the general physical defective condition which had characteris- ed him since birth. It was decided to conduct the experiment as soon as healthy. glands could be obtained. Edward Per- sons, a particularly healthy specimen, can- demned to be electrocated for murder, was selected to supply the glands, which were taken from his body immediately following his death and preserved until ready to be transplanted into the body of Hauser. The surgeons who undertook the operation report that Hauser is already showing signs of improvement, and they have every hope that the normal glands will prohter aormal conditions in the epileptic-Daily Telegraph.

FOLK-LOBE IN THE KING'S BENCH..

COUNSEL'S QUAINT LEGEND OF LONDON, TOWN." Proceedings in the King's Bruch Diri sion on February 6th. were considerably entiveard by a runic outboak on the part of Mr. St. John Macdonald, dealing with the unsuspected folklore of the metropolis.

Mr. Justice Roche had remarked that he could not accept all the evidence given by Mr. Macdonald's client. Mr. Macdonlad thereupen zuddenly cast off the mantle of common, every day law.

Extraordinary things happen in Ton- don, your lordship," he said, with a quite romantic irrelevance. People go to church and see other people married, and think they are being married themselves.

I was told by a clergyman that if twelve young couples went to church to see another couple being married, they all held' hands, and thought they too were being married."

Spontaneous laughter marked the grati- tada of everybody for the interlude, after which 'the judge--not without an air of re- freshment-said, "You are not addressing a jury at the Old Bailey, Mr. Macdonald.”

The case ju band then proceeded."
