The experiment of usiagtheX-ray
' to restore sight to the blind which
has attracted so much attention
: throughout . the' -country has been
tried in Baltimore by Dr. Henry
Chandlee of 1013 Linden avenue.
Dr. Chandlee has probably as com
plete an X-rav apparatus as there is
la the United States, and has ob
tained some good result in his
; general experiments. As to re
storing sights however, . he has not
' been able to say . it could be done,
but has secured interesting results.
' He. experimented on two cases. One
was that of an opaque cornea and the
.other that of a cataract. In neither
case could the person read. Neith
er could see more than a shadow at
two feet distance when the hand was
held up. ' Neither could tell how
many fingers were held up . In the
light of the X-ray both could count
' the fingers held up before them and
said they could see much more dis
tinctly than before. The effect did
not seem to be permanent, however,
as after the , X-ray was taken away
the sight with ordinary light was as
dimas before.
The biennial reportof the attorney
e ",U,FKU nu l
gives the criminal statistics for the
past two years very fully. During
that period 17,079 criminal actions
were disposed of, while during the
; previous. two years there were 14,
,sWI,' the increase being 2,542. Of
. persons "tried, 9,125 were white, 7,-
91ft colored, 36 Cherokee Indians;
15,693 we.-e males, 1,386 females,
i There were 11, 258 convictions of the
greater crimes. There were 82
trials for murder in the first degree,
76,1a the second, 28 criminal assault,
55 for attempted criminal assault. 47
for arson, 14 for Surglary in the first
desrree. 51 for . burclarv in t.hA I
second degree, 33 for manslaughter,
v 56 for house burning, 99 for forgery,
2,886 for larceny. There were only
. two lynchings one of a white man,
. for murder, and the other of a negro,
. for chloroforming and assaulting a
S white woman. One man in jail for
; murderous assault was released by
v.. a inendlv mob. There -war im
, j c i ' '
'X escapes from jails. There were
? forty-three fewer cases of murder in
the first degree than during the
previous two years, but in all other
: crimes an increase.
' A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post has rather upset the
claims of the columbine to the floral
; flmblemship of the United States.
."The aquilegia, " he says, ,4is not
indigenous to the United States; the
only wild species is the canadensis."
' A vulgar is is ft native of Great Bri
tain, other parts' of 'Europe and
. Japan. He also claims that the
plant is difficult to grow true from
seed, and unless the species are kept
strictly apart they will in three
years degenerate into muddy colors
and stunted shapes. This latter
should be sufficient to kill any claims
the plant may have on the score of
its symbolism in 'regard to name,
the arrangement of petals, etc.
