NO sooner do the rays of the spring

Staten Island than. as another har-
binger of warm weather, the tide of
immigration through the Narrows OF
New York harbor increases from its
comparatively scant winter numbers

Orient are knocking at the gates of
Ellis island by the tens of thousands.

which the little fellows life was saved
in the following narrative:
A hasty examination showed that
the childs skull was fractured. how
badly he could not then tell. The lit
tie chap was in a coma. and it looked
as though death would come before he
could reach the hospital. But in
very few minutes we had him on the
operating table. where a more thor
ough examination told us that the in
jury was so great there appeared to be
absolutely no chance for his life.
Careful stimulation was applied and
the operating surgeon notified. A
slight anesthetic was administered. as
matter of precaution in the event OF
returning consciousness. and the oper-
alton began in an exceedingly short
time after the boys entry.
Cutting down. we found the fracture
was of Y-shape. extending from the
frontal bone backward over the parie-
tai and down the temporal regions OF
the skull. with a large area Of the
vault pressed into the brain substance.
The dura. that tough, fibrous covering
of the brain. had been ruptured. al
lowing the brain to be forced through
the fracture. That in itself was
enough to make the case fatal, and as
we worked there came the unmistak-
able signs of rapid approach of
death.
To complicate matters there was
profuse hemorrhage from the middle
meningeal artery. but this was speed
ily caught up and ligatured. The op-
Grating surgeon. working with won
derful speed. soon had trephined a
button from the center of the pc
pressed section. and with periosteal
elevators raised the vault to its nor
NAL position.
A change for the better was at once
noticed in the condition of the boy
and with that faint ray of hope to
spur us on the operation was con
tinued. The ragged edges of the
fracture were carefully trimmed
while adhering fragments were re
moved. The brain tissue, though
badly torn. was carefully and gently
pressed back. and the removal OF
