He said the girl could see faintly through the grafted tis sue. Amabile had been blind since she was two months old when he was stricken by ty phoid fever and conjunctivitis. The cornea of the other eye of the priest was given to Silvio Colagrande, ' 12. He saw for the first time in eight years yester day when the doctor removed the delicate opaque egg skin which held the tissue in place. .

But he added that if this happened they would be in. better condition to withstand a second operation. STRAY HOGS Hartford City, Ind. (U.P.)
