SAVED BY BLOOD OF FATHER Remarkable Operation 111 Transfusion Makes New Class and New Record. Transfusion of blood from the arteries of a man 24 'years old to the veins of an Infant born fifteen days ago has been.ac complished successfully In Mount Blnal hospital, New York City, and Is the first operation of Its kind of whloh there is record In Europe or America. . All the circumstances attendant upon this delicate feat In surgery are regarded by surgeons as of peculiar Interest. Last Fri day a male child, then eleven days old whose father and mother are Nathan and Rebecca Goldberg, was brought to the hos pital. Apparently the baby was dying. Ho was suffering from Hemorrhages, which had continued .from the day. of his birth. Ha weighed five pounds. The father carried htm from his home on a pillow. The hemorrhagic condition of an Infant Of that age was so uncommon that nearly all of the surgical staff were enger to make a study of the case. A specimen of the blood was examined and found to contain only 4fi per cent of hemoglobin,' one of the constituents of the red corpuscle, which carrlps oxygen through the circulation. Death was regarded as inevitable. One of the surgeons suggested that there was, one chance in ten thousand of saving the child by transfusion and this was communicated to the father, who Immedi ately expressed his willingness to give as much of his own blood as might be needed. Preparations were made at once for- the transfusion of blood from father to babe. For thirty minutes it did not seem possi ble that a connection could he made be tween the two circulatory systems, but It was accomplished at last, and the flow began from the unconscious father to the walling babe.. The (change In the puny patient was marvelous, and the doctors crowded around the tanlea to watch the result. With each pulsation of the man's heart the complexion of the child . changed. From ' a ghastly white it began to glow to a faint pink, then deeper, then red and finally a bluish scarlet. From the deathly pale color the baby had when brought In last Friday he had changed In twenty-four hours to a rosy, healthy blue and was sleeping peacefully. There Is every Indication, say the doctors, that he will live and, thrive. New York World. Boost your business with Bes Want Ads.

An item in tha public, appropriations bill passed by the late congress tends to formu late the, as yet. rather ncbuljus Idea held by many minds that as the years puss a new residence for the president of the I'nlted States will become a necessity. So many of the rooms of the White House are, and have always been devoted to pub lic and official business that the presidents And their families, the tenants at will of the people, have always been limited as to sleeping rooms. When tho prince of Wales visited this country during the administration of the "bachelor president," James Buchanan, the president had to give tip his own bedroom and sleep In the corridor. With the advent of the six Roosevelt children official apartments had to be va cated for their use. The youngest rlfesl dent with his half-doaen practical pro tests against race suicide was therefore responsible for the building of the new executive offices which nre connected with the main building by passageways. Even with the relief this affords, so much of the White House Is still devoted to public and official purposes that each new mistress must at times yearn for the privileges and privacy of a home of her own. Official Resldenre rrobable. The cloudy Idea which In the future may be embodied in another structure is that the nation should supply two residences for the chief executlve-an official and a personal one. The White House, rich as It is In hls torio associations, could be used as the public office building of the president, be more accessible to the general public than It now is and be the official theater of state functions. In addition, and separate from this, the executive and his family should bs given a private residence in some desirable section, for vflth the growth of the city the best residence section of Washington is gradually receding from the hlstorlo old location selected In the life time of the first president. The Item In the appropriations bill which some Interpret as looking forward to this provides for the purchase of a tract of land for park purposes. This tract Is about two miles north of the White House apd i easily accessible by the Sixteenth street boulevard. In these days of rapid com munication and transit a space difference of two miles is practically nil. It is almost one hundred and six years since George Washington presided at the laying of the cornerstone of the executive mansion In the "Federal City," as ho called tho city which was afterward to bear his name. This ceremony took place on October 18, 1792, the 300 anniverslty of of the landing of Christopher Columbus. Eight years were consumed In building the "president's palace," and -Washington had been dead almost a year when the second president, John Adams, and his wifs, Abi gail, took possession of the mansion. Plans and Cost. Despite the cries of extravagance, $300, 009, had been granted by congress for the building and furnishing of the house. In those days no Small sum. The plans of the building, submitted in a competition for a prize of $500, were drawn by a young Irish architect of Charleston. S. C, named James Hoban. Since it gained its name, the White House, from a coat of white paint bestowed after its sacking and burning by the British In the war of 1812, some Inlanders of rever ential mind cherished the fond idea that the building is of marble. It may lose In artistic and poetic value for them when they learn that it is built of sandstone frjm Maryland and Virginia quarries. Irishmen are proverbially hospitable. It was not Hoban's fault that the occupants of the nation's house had space limitations placed upon their welcoming and Social in stincts. His first plans called for a three- story building, and In the third story were to be the sleeping apartments. An eco nomical democracy decided that this wj giving the executive too much, that two stories and a basement should satisfy all requirements. That Hoban planned well Is shown In tho fact that until 1902, when the executive offices were removed to the an nex provided for them, the building was unchanged except for the addition of porches and conservatories and for repalis. Social Functions. , When the Adamses took possession in WOO Washington was, according to an Eng lish writer, a place of brick kllr-s and la borers' huts, with streets and avenues cut through the woods. Mrs. Adams found the great house without bells and lacking th principal stairs. The large unfinished au dience room she used as a drying room In which to hang the clothes, as there was no yard and no rence. iNevenneiess, despite many Inconveniences, she held the first day of the nineteenth century a re ception in what she called a drawing room. To be mistress and hostess In the ex ecutive mansion requires no small social ability. Among the many women wives, daughters and nlects of the presidents who have presided as such, a few names stand out conspicuously because of tha brilliancy, wit or gracious beauty of the lady. Ferhaps none will be better remem bered than that of Dolly Madison, who for sixteen years was practically the first lady In the land. Thomas Jefferson was a widower, and during his first term of office mo of his daughters, both of whom were married and absorbed In domestic duties, died. To comfort President Jefferson in his sor row, the other daughter, Mrs. Randolph, spent the winter with her father, hut m course there was" no social gayety. During this visit Jefferson's grandson, Janus Madison Randolph, 'was born, the first White House baby. Hanaarkrd and Scorched. As the wife of Jefferson's secretary of state. Dorothy Payns Madison naturally enough assumed the duties which later were hers aa wife of the third president. It was during her husband's presidency that the English ransacked the White House, but before Mrs. Madison was driven thence by their coming, she had saved the Stuart portrait of Washington and the original document of the Declara tion of Independence, and had earned a reputation for heroism not fully shared by others of her household. It was after this pillaging by the bmish that the mansion, newly paint'!, became the White House, a popular name legalised by President Roosevelt, whose official communlratlons are dated White Houss" Instead of "Ex ecutive Mansion." During the Madison administration a niece of Mrs. Madlscn's was married In the White House, but the first daughter of a presideM to be married thtre was Maria Mcnroe. daughter of Madison's suc cessor, James Monroe. The wedding was very unlet, as official Washington was In mourning for Commodore Decatur, who had been killed In a duel.

Mr. Hawley, Samuel Laurence Uouverner, esq., of New York, to Miss- Maria Hester Monroe, youngest daughter of James Monroe, president of the I'nlfed States." Very different from the extended col umns of newspaper publicity given to the engagement and marriage of Presi dent Roosevelt's daughter to Congress man Longworth. These two, Maria Monroe and Alice Roosevelt, with Nellie Grant, whose marrluge to Algernon 8ar toris was solemnized in the White House, and the daughter of John Tyler, makes a quartet of presidents' daughters who have been married in the stately rooms of Ihe people's house. President Cleveland was the only president ever married there, and In winning that distinction he lost the right to be called bachelor president, a title which, up to the present time, but one man has borne James Buchanan. And as all the presidential candidates are mar ried men, Buchanan -seems apt to kcp it, Cleveland's Distinction. Besides being the only president ever married in the White House, Mr. Cleveland wts the only president to whom a child was born In the executive mansion. Other Infants besides Esther Cleveland have been White House babies, but they have been grandchildren of the ruling president. Among these grandchildren was Maria Louisa Adams, who was christened tn the east room, February, 1829. Her father, John Adams, son of John Qulncy Adams, was the only president's son to have his marriage solemnised in the White House, During Andrew Jackson's administration! four children were born in the executive mansion. These were the children of his adopted son, Andrew Jackson Donelson, whose wife, with another niece, did the honors of the house. Jackson, Jefferson, Van Buren and Arthur were the four widower presidents. Van Buren's daughter-in-law and Arthur's sister, Mrs. Mc Elroy, were tha respective hostesses of their administrations. During General Grunt's administration the first child of Colonel Fred Grant and his wife, who was Miss Hnnore, was born In the president's house. This White House buhy is now the Princess Cantacu tene. Five presldunts, William H. Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Abraham Lincoln. James A.

The wife ot Franklin Pl.ice received at all social occasions, but wore deep mourn ing for tha son killed in a railroad acci dent Just before they left their New Hamp shire home for Washington. Though President Cleveland was the only president ever married in the president's house, he was not the only one to bring to It a bride. Mrs. Letltla Christian Tyler, the first wife of John Tyler, died in the White House In WJ. Two years later the president, then 55, married Miss Julia Gardiner, who was thirty-five years younger, and brought her to be mistress of the White House during the closing months of his administration. The wedding was a quiet affair, aa her father was one of those killed by the burst ing of a gun on the man-of-war Princeton during a presidential excursion. The sec retary of stats and secretary of war were also killed and were burled from the White House. The tragic suddenness ami hor ror of their death were equaled during Benjamin Harrison's administration, when Secretary Tracy's wife and daughter wars burned in their home. Their funerals also took place from the White 'House. Harriet Lane, niece of James Buchanan, is remtmttrta as on ef the most beau tiful of the White House hostesses, as Mrs. Cleveland was one of the most gracious. During the Hayes administration the president and his wife celebrated their sil ver wedding. Mrs. Hayes was a warm ad vocate of temperance and a careful man ager. She administered the appropriations so carefully that $25,000 were saved to pur chase tha famous dinner service of nearly 1,000 pieces, each of which had an original design illustrating a type of plant or ani mal life found In this country.

RESUSCITATING THE DROWNING Iteeent Experiments Lead to a Revela- tlon tn Methods Formerly Employed, A few years ago a scientific commission was appointed by the English government, headed by Prof. Schaefer of Edinburgh, for the purpose of determining the best method of resuscitating those apparently drowned. The first thing that confronted this body was the fact that -we were entirely Ignorant as to exactly how death by drowning was caused. Thg commission proceeded to de termine this fact. A thorough and elaborate series of experi ments on animals were carried out, with some distinctly Interesting and valuable results. First of all. It was found thst death by drowning Is not due to the filling of the air passages with water, as many of the animals experimented on were found, upon examination Immediately after death, to have drawn Into their lungs water In amounts ranging from four to eight ounces only (from one-third of a cupful to a cup ful). In some Instances death occurred when only two ounces of water had been drawn Into the lungs. The chief cause of dath appeared first to be a curious Inhibiting or paralysing effect upon respiration, so much so that It could actually be prevented by administer ing a drug (atropin), which stimulated the heart, and prevented the transmission of this curious reflex paralysing effect. As Prof. Schaefer dryly remarked: "If you are quite sure you are going to be drowned, It Is a good thing to take a dose of atropin In advance." The second chief cause of death appeared to be a profuse pouring out of mucus, which occurred from the throat, windpipe and lining of the bronchial tubes. This, by the violent efforts at Inspiration, rapidly becomes churned Into a froth, plugs up the smaller air tubes and air cells snd renders It almost impossible to get air Into the deeper parts of the lungs. This accounts for those puzzling cases In which individ uals were got out of the water In a very few secngds after breathing had ceased and yet ultimately died, fn spite of every thing that l-ould be done to resuscitate them. They were literally choked by their own secretions, drowned In their own mucus. Kven the small amounts of water taken Into the lungs were found to either be coughed out again directly, as soon aa the passages were clesred. or to be promptly absorbrd Into the blood vessels. This gives us the Important practical knowledge that there Is no need to waste any time In standing the victim on his head, or rolling him over a barrel, or shak ing him, head downward In order to "get the water out of his lungs." Such proce dures are a sheer waste of invaluable time. Next, experiments were made as to effec. ttve methods of performing artificial bieathing, aud it was soon found that Ihest were of such a character thai they could be carried on upon a living human subject. Volunteers were found who would put themselves in the hands of the experimen ters, draw three or four full breaths, then completely relax and make no effort at breathing while the experiment was car ried on. A tube connecting with a spirom eter was placed in the mouth and then the various standard methods of producing artificial respiration were tried upon them and the actual amount of air which could te forced In and out of the lungs carefully measured for the first time In tha world's history. It was found that out of the thr gener ally accepted methods of artificial respira tion, the so-called Marshall Hall, the Syl vester, and tha Howard, the first two were utterly lnadecaiate, and the third danger ous. By no possible vigor and skill at manipulation could the volunteer suhjeit have enough breath pumped in and out of his lungs by either the Marshall Hall (which consists of rolling the body from the side over on to the stomach and back again In rapid a:iccelon) or the Sylvester (the well known pulling the arms up over the head and then pressing down firmly again on the chest) tokeep him In any de tree comfortable. The Howard method, which consists ot compressing the sides of tho chest with both hands at regular Ini tervals, allowing It time to expand, while It would effect a nearly sufficient Inter change of air, was found to be fraught with some danger to both the rlhs and the liver, on account of the force necessary to be used, while frcm the fact that the patient lies upon hli back his tongue is al most certain to fall back and produce suf focation; or such fluid, water and mucus as . may be present in the throat . will no cumulate there and prevent the entrince of air. After many trials a method was hit upon which avoids all the danger -of the old methods and Is so strikingly effective that perfectly healthy individuals submitting themselves to It can be lrpt comfortable for not merely minuteB but bonis at a lime, without having to make the slightest voluntary effort of their owji at breath ing. Indeed, Trof. Zunst, who easterly Mh mllted himself as a subject for demon stration at the last Congress of German Physiologists, denounced, with mock sol emnity, the use of the method ns subver sive of good morals, Ivcatiee it innlcs It possible for the Individual whe la lltor.illy "too lazy to breathe" to go on living. Tb method, fortunately, is simplicity itself aud ery eaailv carried out: The individual whom It Is desired to resuscitate Is promptly and without a mo ment's delay In either locsenlng clothing, drying, warming or shaking the water out of the lungs, turned upon his stomach upon the shore, or other h-ve) place, the face being turned to one aide so that the nose and mouth are clear of the ground. Then the operator kneels, either by the side of or astride of the patient's hips, facing toward his head, placfs both out spread hands upon tl small of t lie back, Just over the shortest ribs, and pitches his body and shoulders forward so as to bi ll g tha whole weight heavily upon the body r.f the victim. This downward pressure should take about three seconds. He then swings upward, lifting his hands off suddenly-and quUkly. The elasticity of tht rlhs and of the contents of the abdomen cause the chest to expand. In three seconds mote the process Is repeated, and so on, lnde flrJtily, making ten or twelve of thes! movements per minute. The position al lows the tongue to fall forward, and any mucus or water which be present In tlio lungs to readily escape through the mouth. By simply swinging backward and forward,-throwlng'the welghtof his ToiTy upon the waist line of the victim, any operator of modern Intelligence and of most moderate strength, even a delicate woman or a child can gain a sufflccnt Inflow of air, flowing in and out through the lungs ot the patient, to supply Tllm with as much air as would be taken In if ho were able to breaths voluntarily. Promptness In beginning the pumping oper ation Is Imperative. Prof. Schaefer'a ex periments proved that conclusively. This method, which has only recently been thoroughly worked out, ha been adopted by the Royal Humane society of England, the Royal Life Saving society and the coastguard rive.
