GREAT MINING WASTE IN ANTHRACITE GOAL Tbe production of anthracite in Pennsylvania Includes an appreciable quantity of usable fuel recovered from the old culm banks by washeries, and the unsJgh&y monuments to the waste- ful methods of early times are disso* peering from the landscape in the an- thracite region. The quantity of coal recovered in the twenty-two years since the first wasbery was constructed In 1890 has amounted to about 60,060,000 long tons, considerably mors than the total production of anthracite at the beginning of the period. In 1911 the waahery product amounted to 4,186V 044 long tons. In addition to the seel recovered from the culm banks, 94347 long tons In 1911, and tljfltS tons In 1910, were recovered from the bottom of Susquehanna river by dredges. In the bituminous regions the prin- cipal use of washertes is to improve the quality of the slack coal used In the manufacture .of coke by reducing the ash and sulphur, although consid- erable quantities, particularly In Illi- nois, are washed in the preparation of slsed coal for household use. The quantity of bituminous coal washed at tbe mines in 1911 was 12,643,114 short tons. Philadelphia Physician in azine Article Claims It Is Possible to SrowEntire New Member. CAUSES WIDE DISCUSSION BRONSON TELLS OF CHEAT GIRL PROBLEM "The girl problem Is one of the most vital questions confronting the par- ents of Evanston," said Dr. Solon C. Branson yesterday morning, while ad- dressing the Bible class at the Second Presbyterian church. Many parents In Evanston are extremely lax in look- ing after their children. Many girls are allowed on the streets and In the parks late at night and their parents do not sjme^dppdtf'^|s^':sjrn,with. • . classes, fWTjoiownjind the unknown. "The knowM class consists of those who recew proper training* and the unknown are those of whom the peo- ple living here know little. If the peo- ple are not careful tho unknown class is liable to swallow the known class."

As- sist yowr reception committee and toasrmaster to make this meeting one of interest and pleasure to the grand oncers. The reception win he held at 18:W o'clock in the lodge room at «12 J| Davis street North Shore physicians are greatly Interested in the statements made by Dr. J. B. Roberts, professor of surgery in the Philadelphia Policlinic institute, who tells of the reproduction of an en- tire limb on the human body, as on the body of a crab or a lisard, as a dis- tinct possibility of future surgical de- velopment In the current number of the Jour- nal of the American Medical associa- tion Dr. Roberts recounts amazing operations performed in America and Europe in bone surgery, the higher de- velopment of skin grafting. He cites eases of the transfer of pieces of the leg bone to the spinal column, eaten away by disease. He tells of rebuild- ing the nose by grafting bone from the forehead or the ribs or the leg. Dr. Roberts reports sawing a defec- tive lower law in two and inserting a section of rib, bringing about a natural facial contour. He tells of grafting a whole knee joint from a dead body in place of a defective living knee. Tee Made Into a Finger. The doctor describes the temporary grafting of a living toe as a finger to a patient's hand, only to break that connection and regraft It to the face as a new nose. "Will man, like a crab, ever be able to reproduce on his body an entire limb?" asks the physician. "Perhaps so. Morgan thinks that man does not regenerate an arm or leg, as crabs and some vertebrates do, because his tis- sues regenerate with different de- grees of rapidity. "The bones, which are important in such complex reformations, generate slowly, but the vessels, nerves, mus- cles, and skin generate rapidly. There is, therefore, no tendency to synchon- ous reproduction of the lost limb. The lisard can produce a tail but not legs. Morgan, who has studied these phys- iologic questions with care, has occa- sionally seen an imperfect foreleg in an adult frog. "May not the time come when the surgeon will regulate these processes in the same manner as the other human functions which gradually have come under control?" The physician tells of experiments mentioned In an Egyptian papyrus at- tributed to 1600 B. C. and of new noses the Hindu specialists made' from frontal tissue long before Taliacotlus, In Italy, in the sixteenth century* made noses and lips from arm tissues. De- claring surgery of the soft parts and surgery of bones essentially the same, he draws conclusions from the fact that successful grafts have been made from another human being, from an amputated limb, even from a dead bodyf Esau, the European surgeon, oper- ated on a patient with a chin deficient- ly prominent First the surgeon made new Joints and then sawed tbe lower Jaw into two halves at the point These were pulled apart and twenty] centimeters of rib inserted, this rib fractured to bend at the middle and give the proper contour.
