TRANSMISSION OF Blood.

The Inter. Deem Of recent date con-
tanned an account Of peculiar surgical
operation undertaken and successfully
accomplished by DIR. Carl Proyler, Of
Addison, Dupage County, H., and Drs.
HotZ, Wild and Cradle, Of this city. 1t
will be remembered that the case referred
10 was that of Mr.. Kleinsteuber, German
school.teacher, who resided on Larrabee
street, in the North Division. The opera
ton was the TRANSMISSION Of the blood of a
living lamb into the veins Of Mr.. Klein
steuber. The operation, the first of the
kind in America, was carefully planned,
and Its execution WIS not marred by a
single error. The physicians who were
present have, of course, awaited the re-
suit with some solicitude, and, after
watching Mr.. Klelnsteuber, DIR. HotZ re-
ports substantially as follows: The gen.
erai condition of the patient is much i'm
proved, although it il as yet impossible
TO prognose the case so far as to say def.
nitely whether or not the special disease
Consumption of which the patient is
suffering can be cared by this means.
As stated, the patients condition under
the circumstances Is pronounced good.
The violent cough has TO great extent
ceased. The pulse is regular and normal,
more than could be said of it before.
The appetite is good; previous to the OPP
Grafton 1t was very poor. He sleeps ex-
cellently. The patient does not have that
languid feeling as formerly, and conse-
quently the mind is clear, while the gen.
eral appearance is in keeping with the
indications enumerated above DIR. Hotz
(who makes the report and his colleagues
consider this progress as quite extraor-
binary and very encouraging, and are
confident in affirming that one thing has
already been proved by the operation,
and that is, that all diseases which arise
from want of blood can be cured by the
TRANSMISSION process. The act of trans
fusing causes no pain to the patient, the
fever and chill which 1t occasions pass
ing away in short time.-Chscago Inter

Insect-Eating Birds.

WE have before us prize essay, by
Frank II. Palmer, entitled "Inscct. Eating
Birds the Farmers Best Friends" pub.
lished at Boston under the auspices of the
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty TO Animals. Insects are the
pest and bane OF American fruit culture |;
they spoil our cherries; they sting our
pears and apples, and render them worth.
less; they prevent our plum trees from
producing mature fruit; they puncture
our grapes; they destroy the beauty of
our roses; they devour our green vegeta-
bles, and are mischievous in other ways.
Mr.. Palmer maintains that this is the re-
suit of our own improvidence. 1t is, he
says, because man has destroyed their
natural enemies that insects have become
pest, and they will cease TO trouble him
only in proportion as he shall restore the
balance of which nature shows the neces-
sity. During the past few years, he re-
marks, there has been steady decrease
In the number of our native birds In all
parts of the country where man has
formed his settlements, and consequently
there has been an immense increase of
the insect tribes on which birds are fed.
The pamphlet before US contains list of
the birds which feed on insects OF the
insects hurtful to garden vegetables he
makes thirty different species; of those
injurious to the apple and apple tree,
scyenty-five. Shade trees have hundred
kinds of insect enemies, and wheat and
other grains fifty. We require a very
considerable army of birds 10 protect the
husbandman against the ravages of these
nests, and there seems TO be every reason
why the killing Of birds that feed on the
insect tribes should be punishable by the
tribunals.
But we began this only with view of
copying what Mr.. Palmer has to say Of
providing proper habitations for these
friends Of the farmer. Here is what he
says on this point:
Next to the law, the most important
measure for the protection of birds is the
putting up of accommodations for them,
and thus inducing them to settle on our
estates. There is 70 reason why every
one who has o half acre of land should
not have two or three pairs Of birds nest
ing thereon. Perhaps many do not real
ize what simple accommodations swal-
lows, bluebirds, sparrows, wrens and
other birds are eager TO avail themselves
of. Simple and inexpensive arrange
ments are Just as satisfactory to them as
the most elegant and costly ornamental
houses; and no one need be prevented by
the fear Of expense from furnishing dwell
| ing places, rent free, TO these interesting
tenants. With q few simple tools and q
! box or two, which any grocer will give you,
