Monster Elephant Dies.

Boliver, the largest elephant in
captivity, a favorite at the Phila.
delphla geological gardens for
years, died. He was only second
to jun DO in point of reputation,
both of whom were kno wn all ov-
er the world. He was presented
to the Philadelphia Zoo IN 1883 by
Adam Forepaugh, the circus man.
Doctors are of the opinion that he
died of old age and that it was
hastened by the lack of exercise.
Three butchers and three taxi
dermists spent as many days in
stripping the huge bulk prepara-
tory to mounting it. The bones
and hide will then be taken to the
buildings of the Academy of Ma.
tural Science, where the process
of drying the bones and tanning
the skin will begin. The flesh
was sold to local firm for fertll-
izlng purposes. Bollver's heart
weighed AZ pounds, his liver 200
pounds. The task of setting the
skeleton up and covering it with
the hide, will require two years.

DEAD BOY REVIVED.
Made Incision in Breast and Manipulated
Heart until Life Returned. Won.
derfuI Surgical Feat.

Washington, August 21:-
News of one of the most remark
able operations ever performed
in this city or possibly IN the
United States, which took place
at Emergency Hospital, when
one of the surgeons of that instl.
tuition succeeded by massage in
bringing back to life a twelve
year-old colored boy of Hayatts-
VILE, Md who, it was thought,
had died suddenly while under
going an operation, has just been
made public.
The boy was under the inhu-
ence of chloroform and the sur
geon was operating on an infect
ed knee when respiration sudden
ly ceased. The body became
cold, and limbs rigid. Artificial
respiration was resorted to, but
there was no responding to pull
sation Ct the heart.
After six minutes of suspense
during which the physician re
sorted to every possible method
to revive the patient the doctor
realized that there was only one
chance to save the bov s life.
With delicate skill, the boy s
body was opened and for seven
minutes the doctor massaged the
PATIENTS heart with his fingers.
Finally when he was about to give
up all hope, the boy took faint
voluntary breath, and for several
minutes the heart pulsated gent
ly. Plying the heart with his
fingers to stimulate circulation
of the blood, the physician, after
eighteen minutes, had the heart
pulsating normally, and knew
that he had succeeded IN his al
most miraculous operation.
For day and a half following
the operation the boy remained
IN excellent condition and every
hope was held out for his recov-
cry. But the infection OF the
knee had spread to the left side
and affected the glands of the
neck. Blood poisoning set In
and despite all efforts to save
him the boy succumbed.
Within few months several
eminent physicians of this city
will conduct vivlseclon tests to
determine how far the heart
massage can be carried. Dogs
will be placed under anaesthetlcs
and allowed to succumb it is said,
so that physicians may determine
after how long an interval an ami
NAL apparently dead, may be re-
stored by heart massage.
