A RAILROAD ROUTE.
From New York to Buenos Ayres
Will Cost $150OO0,O00.
New York Sum-

Mr. Charles NJ. Pepper, who has
just spent a year in the Latin-Ameri-
can countries studying the prospects
of the Inter-continental Railroad, has
reported the results of his investiga-
tions to the Secretary of State. He
was appointed Commissioner for this
purpose by President Roosevelt.
The all-rail route from this city to
Buenos Ayres will be 10,2SS miles
long by the route which the surveyors
selected. Five years ago the existing
lines that might be used as part of
the trunk railroad were about 4,772
miles in length, leaving 5,456 miles to
be constructed. Since that time the
countries south of us have built Coo
miles of track along the international
route, reducing the portion yet to be
constructed to 1880 miles. Only
about an eighth Of the mileage has
been built in the past five years, but
this has been done in the natural
course of railroad building, without
any reference to the intercontinental
project. and, as Mr.. Pepper shows,
the prospects are favorable for a
more rapid extension of railroads
along the n-American route.

SURGICAL FEAT.
Child Saved From Paralysis by an
Unheard of Operation.
(Philadelphia Press.

A surgical triumph probably as
great as that of DR.. Lorenz, when his
first operation of bloodless surgery
astonished the medical world. has
been accomplished by DIR. James K.
Young of this city. 1t is the success
full splicing of two nerves, dead
and live one, in the leg of child,
thus curing infantile palsy. AL
though the operation has been per-
formed but once its unqualified sue
cess has stamped it as more than ac-
cidental.
Mamie Weiss, the four ear-old
daughter of Mrs Rosie Weiss, of 333
Christian street, is the happy subject
of the experiment.
About year ago, DR.. Young, who
is lecturer on orthopaedic surgery
| at the University of Pennsylvania
and professor at the Polytechnic
Hospital and the Woman S Medical
College, became interested in nerve
splicing. With DR.. William G. Spill
er, the nerve specialist, he discussed
the possibility of curing infantile
paralysis by joining a dead nerve
with a live one, thus re-establlshing
the lost current of power from the
nerve center.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
nerves are the most delicate organs
of the body, tn two surgeons decid-
ed after weeks of deliberation and ex-
periments on bodies that the thing
was well within reason.
About this time Mamie Weiss was
sent to the Polytechnic Hospital One
Of her legs was partially paralyzed
/ She could turn the foot from right to
\ left, but not from left to right. Here.
thought DR.. Young, was a chance to
demonstrate the feasibility of his
theory.
The child was placed under the in
| fuence of an anaesthetic, and with
/ the most delicate scalpel obtainable
/ a three-inch incision was made in
the side Of the palsied leg just below
the knee Carefully the surgeon cut
! into the flesh until he reached the
dead nerve. Clipping this off at its
upper end, near the kneecap, a hole
was cut through the anterior tibial
nerve and the detached nerve put
through the hole and stitched IN place
Ten minutes after the first incisIon
was made the operation was over.
/ Only a few drops of blood had been
shed, and the patient had seemingly
suffered but slight shock while the
/ delicate nerves were being splieed.
Then began the anxious wait to ascer-
tain if the operation was successful.
For several weeks the little girl wore
a plaster east. Finally it was dis
carded.
A few more weeks and all was
ready for the first test. She was told
to move her foot from left to right.
Slowly the member obeyed the i'm
pulse of its owner, and DIR. Young
| heaved a happy sigh. His idea was
theory no longer, but grand reality,
which meant glory to the skilled sur
geon and another great stride in the
science Of surgery.
Since then Mamie has continued to
gather strength, and now she has al
most forgotten which leg promised to
make her cripple a year ago.
DIR. Young will make a report of
his nerve-splicing success to the Amer
lean Orthopaedic Society when it
meets in June at Atlantic City.
Then the medical profession will be
officially notified of one of the great
est surgical triumphs of the age.
