Now Has Another’s Nerve.

Chicago.—Capt. R. Hugh Knyvett, intelligence officer of the Fifteenth infantry brigade, Australian imperial force, is on his way back to the front after being invalided home when a German shell inflicted twenty wounds. For six months he was paralyzed, but today in Chicago he was as vigorous as ever, the result, he says, of the transplanting of a nerve from another man’s leg to his own. Cuba is building a canal 32 miles long in the province of Matanzas to reclaim a large and fertile area.
