RESEARCH IN A
PIG’S EYE
By HOWARD BLAKESLEE
(/P) Science Editor
NEW YORK—At Duke univers
ity the periodic disorders of wo-1
men are being placed in animal’s j
eyes where they can be seen more
clearly. .
This technique of studying the
progress of human ills Is old, but
the application is new. The work
is projected at Duke University
by Dr. J. E. Markee, in the school
of medicine.
A bit of living tissue is trans
planted to an animal’s eye. It
grows there independently and
unchanged. It can be seen at all
times.
Visible also are the effects of
drugs, gland extracts and hor
mones upon this transplanted tis
sue. This sort of study answers
questions about what goes on dur
ing an illness.
This work is not, however, con-!
fined to diseased conditions. It is
often just as important for a
physician to know how healthy
tissue reacts.
All this is strictly animal ex
perimentation. The tissues used
are those of animals.

bor on Crescent Bay at Sitka,
Alaska will be started as soon as
Congress appropriates the funds.
Col. Conrad P. Hardy, Seattle Dis

A baby born in Knoxville,,
Tenn., was reported in Science of
November 16, 1928, to have been'
born with a tail seven inches long. I
This was not a record. The record
was held by a twelve-year-old boy
in French Indo-China, who had a
tail nine inches long. There were
at the time, records of twenty-five
authentic cases of tailed humans.1
Most shed them in embryo. Some- j
time during gestation we all have
tails at least a sixth as long as
our bodies.
