Berlin.-Professor Sonnenburg, one
of Germany's leading surgeons, re.

ing.
There recently came to his depart
ment at the Berlin municipal hospital
a young artisan into whose right thigh
a splinter of steel had entered. At
first the wound seemed unimportant,
but swelling began, and an operation
was found necessary. The X-rays
showed that the main artery of the
thigh had been torn almost straight
across its entire width.
First Doctor Sonnenburg completely
severed the wounded artery. and then,
with the aid of the finest needles and
the finest silk, stitched it together
again. Within three days 1t was pos
sible to feel the pulse at the joint
nearest the wound. proving that blood
was coursing through the stitched ar
terry in perfectly normal fashion.
Doctor Sonnenburg, who is Ger
many's most expert appendicitis op-
orator, recently stated at the local
surgical congress that his daily prac-
tise emphasized more and more that
the prompt use of the knife was the
only salvation for appendicitis suf-
ferers

FISH TRY TO LEAP 0vEa DAM
Humping as They Hit Boards Alarms
Observation-Disclosures Plan

Monticello, N. Y.-So many sucker
fish are trying to leap over the dam
separating Smith Meadow brook from
Smiths pond that persons living near
the dam are kept awak at night by
the humping of fish as they strike
against the planking of the dam in
their repeated and fruitless leaps to
get to the coveted spawning waters.
All night long the humping con.

persons became frightened. Two

stead, solved the mystery. Filled with
curiosity, they sneaked out of their
homes at four o'clock in the morning
and made their way toward the brook.
The nearer they came to it the louder
the humping became. Soon violent
splashing sounds we're heard. too.
Creeping through the bushes. the boys
reached the margin Of the stream and
found themselves in genuine fish

It was not until dawn arrived, how
ever, that they realized fully what the
noise meant. Then they saw thou.
sands of suckers trying to get over
the dam. The fish would leap from
the water, strike the face of the plank
dam a resounding thump and fall back
into the brook. Many dead fish float
ed in the water. They literally had
battered themselves to death in trying
to force their way over dam which
was too high and too steep for them
to scale.
When the boys returned and told
what they had discovered there was a
rush to the brook. Hundreds of the
fish were captured in nets and taken
home to be eaten. Pity for the others
constrained some one to open a
waste gate. and. although the force of
the water passing through 1t from the
pond to the brook was strong, the
suckers fought their way against the
current. and by nightfall all of them
had worked their way into the pond.
Villagers now are making nets to
place across the brook and capture
the fish after they have spawned and
move down stream again.
