debris, which was scattered far and
wide. The flames broke out In a
dozen places In the dry grass and

unusually heavy. They were severely
felt all along the bay shore. Win

MAN WITH A FREAK ANATOMY
ACCEPTED FOR UNCLE
SAM'S NAVY.
With His Heart, Liver, Spleen and
Lungs on the Other Side of His
Body, Man Is Accepted
Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 28. Ira
C. Salyards with his heart liver
spleen and lungs on the other side of
his body from their proper positions,
has been accepted as an able bodied
soldier In Uncle Sam' army after
six months of examinations and de
liberations by army surgeons. He
has stood all the tests they could In
vent to discover If his transposed
viscara made him Incapable of per
forming the duties of a soldier.
Although not frequent many cases
have been resorted of the heart be
ing on the right side of the body, but
It is said that there are only forty
cases In all medical history of such
derangements of man's "Innards" as
the X-ray disclosed In this stalwart
Interurban motorman.
Whan six months ago the depart
ment at Washington was asked for
Instructions the department declined
to pass on the case and the recruit
ing officer seat Salyards to the bar
racks at Columbus, O., where he was
tested In many ways. He was given
long fatigue marches and stood them
a well a could be expected of any
able-bodied man. He was kept on
duty all night, and the strain had no
more effect on him than It would
have on a normal man, and so It was
with many tests.
Salyards, who Is 34 years old, re
cently became widower and this led
him to decide to enter the army. He
had known from his boyhood that hi
heart was on th right side, but the
X-ray disclosed that his lungs were
so disarranged that the arteries ent
ered from the wrong side of hi body
and that his spleen and liver had
been specially placed for htm, earn
as a surprls. He 1 6 feet tall and
weighs ITS pounds. He was reared
on a farm in Sullivan county.
