that it did not.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept 29.-Post-
Office Inspector NJ. H. Flint has been
surviving for a long time to BRING about
some improvements in the city which
are not only desirable, but from his show
ing absolutely necessary. Though Los
Angeles is known to have over 100, 0OO
habitants, certain existing conditions
d o not comport with the claims for ex-
tended mail service. Inspector Flint said
to-day that the city was not entitled to

to sleep in recumbent position.
The operating physicians freely e4-
pressed the opinion that Dehertogne
could nor recover. 1t was thought ne
might live month or two and that at
any moment a clot might escape the sack
and be transferred to the heart. which, OF
course, meant instant death. But,
strangely enough, Dehertoghe began to
improve in every wRy. The pain, when
for months had kept him on the verge OF
insanity, had disappeared and the Wild
beating of his heart could no longer be
observed. While Dehertoghe was unable
to pursue his usual occupation, he could.

man and seems proud of the rare distlnc-
ton that his is the only case recorded IN
medical annals of survival four months
after the puncturing OF an arterlal well.
Dehertoghe is 55 years of age and has
family. He is confident that his troubles
are at an end, and that as time advances
the chances OF death by reason OF his
malady are becoming more and more re-
mote. He says the presence of the wire
near his neart is unknown 10 him, as far
as sensations 60 and he is feeling as well

DIR. Jordan brands the Statement as a
deliberate Lie.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
2S.-When shown a dispatch relative to
the alleged failure of tho branding appa-
ratus taken to Alaska by the recent fur
seal expedition, DR.. Jordan spoke as fol.
lows:
THE electrical branding apparatus in
vented by Mr. Farmer arrived the day We
left We were afraid at that time that the
dynamo was not large enough for the
work we intended it to do.
However, we had along a thorough
equipment of the very latest and most
approved branding irons. They had been
thoroughly tested, and there wes no
dou BIT OF their efficiency. The statement
that the seals have been driven to Japan
or anywhere else is a deliberate lie AMI
imaginary fabrication.
They do not o rod away on accoun t
of any operation of that kind. They pay
a great zeal less attention to disturbances
than do sheep when being sheared.
at is q faci that ever since 1899 all the
males under 6 years old nave been driven
10 the killing-grounds every week and
sorted over, and the old and young re-
leased to come back again week later.
'Iney return Without the slightest re-
mem brance that anything had happened.
This shows how little they are Influenced
by anything that would ordinarily cause
lear to other animals.
at was not our intention to brand any
large per cent of the herd this year, but
rather 10 find the means necessary to do 1T
on the largest scale if it should be found
necessary.
"The whole matter is left to the discre-
ton Of the chief gent, Joseph Murray,
who originally suggested branding and
who has had charge of the details from
the first. Last year he was appointed
assistant to the commission by exPresi-
dent Cleveland, and this year President
Mckinley appointed him agent on the
island.
LAS far as known, there has never been
a case OF seal crossing from the Ameri-
can TO the Russian islands. The seas on
the Russian islands are different species
from those found on Pribiioff. There are
only few dozen Individual left OF the
Japanese herd, and they differ from both
the Pribiloff and Russian FORMS"

The Pains of Dehertoghe Now Are Past,
and Physicians Say Hes

One does not often meet in the course of
a lifetime with a man whose existence de-
ponds upon thirty feet of silver wire,
which rests in snug coil above the aorta,
half an inch from his throbbing heart.
Yet there is such man in San Francisco,
and he is Adrian Dehertoghe, Belgian
maChinist who lives at GA McAIiister
street.
Dehertoghe's peculiar case was detailed
al some length in The CALL three weeks
ago. At that time fatal results were mo-
mentarily expected, owing to the peculiar
circumstances surrounding his maIady
but in the intervening time it has been es-
tablished that with proper care he may
live to good old age. 1t is this that rem
ders his case especially noteworthy and a
surprise to the medical fraternity.
Dehertoghe was afflicted with aneursm
OF the aorta, or sacula ted tumor of the ar
terlal wall. The injury to the artery was
the result of a frighttul strain which he
suffered some Gig teen months ago VIII lie

rott building. One of these was about to
fall upon his son, who was working with
him, and he sought 10 hold it up IN order
to prevent ii from crushing out the life of
his boy with its massive weight. The lad
was saved, but his father we'll nigh paid
for his act Of devotion with his life.
Dehertoghe felt something break in his
cnest, he said, and immediately became
very Ill. He was removed to his home
ana gradually a swelling in his chest
manifested itself Accompanying this
was constant neuralgia pain, which rem
dered rest In a recumb bent position an i'm
possibility. lndee /. for many months
Dehertoghe slept nightly in a chair.
The disabled machinist sought medical
relief without result, and finally, when
DR.. Carlson diagnosed his case as aneur-
ism OF the aorta, he decided to Ike the
only chance for life and submit to an
operatlon. On June g. at one of the hos
pitfalls, in the presence of a num-
Der of interested practitioners Deher-
toghe's chest directly over the heart
was opened and the aneurism ex-
posed. L is was on the upper wall of the
aorta and had length of nearly four
inches and a depth of one and half
inches, ana II throbbed irigh fully Is the
blood coursed with a rushing sound within.
When the sack was punctured the
physicians employed the Loretta method
OF introducing sterlliZed silver wire of the
thickness OF a pin into the gushing cav

with the wire so that the blood in passing
through the coil would De churned into a

to shrink and finally disappear, at least to
the extent that its presence would no
longer be menace to Dehertoghe's life.

wound was dressed and DeheItoghe al

DR.. JOrdan'S Electrical
Device Said to Be
a Failure.
Report Brought Back From
Boring Sea by Officers of
the Wild Swan.
Declare That the Herds Are Being
Frightened Away to the
Japanese Coast.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. % The little
,loop Wild Swan has returned to Esqui.
malt after doing duty with the British
patrol feet in Berlng Sea. She brings
word of the progress of Understanding
the seals on the PribyIoff Islands by
branding the M this summer.
Her officers declare that the electrical
apparatus, the pride of Professor David
Starr Jordan, did not work nearly SC
smoothly on the seals as upon paper, and
in its place the more homely hot irons have
been resorted TO.
The electrical machine was not given
up until after repeated trials had fully
established its futility, and the frutIess
attempts to use it so thoroughly fright t
ened tue herds that there appeared to be
great exodus from the islands.
The hot irons have been successfully
used. however, on thousands of seals,
upon whose backs great belt-like strips
have been burned, destroying the value OF
the skins for commercial purposes and
therefore, in compensation for the torture
OF branding. preserving the seal from
slaughter by any hunter who observes
the mark of the brand.
A party OF officers of the Wild Swan
lanO6Q on the raul anu 81. george
Islands about the middle of August, when
very large herds were to be seen. There
were seventeen or eighteen rookeries on
the islands, ami in one visited there were
fully 1900 seals.
Professor Jordan had then left the ISL
ands, having come down some time ago
on the United States cutter Rush, but his
staff, numbering six or seven, were still
engaged In the work of branding seals
with hot irons.
The story was current in Boring Sea
and among sealing men at Unalaska that
seals frightened away by the branding
operations were migrating TO an island on
the Northern Japanese coast in the
vicinity of the Copper Islands.
This island, the sealers SAID, had been
discovered by the Japanese sealing fleet,
and each vessel of hat feet was rea ping a
very rich harvest. The report by the Casco
a few days ago that the Japanese vessels
were being allowed by the Russian
cruisers to go within ten miles OF the
Copper Islands, while Canadian vessels
were kept outside the thirty-mile limit,
taken IN conjunction with this report by
the Wild Swan, seems TO establish the
flct that the Japanese sealers are having
some preference.
