Wonderful, surgical Feat.

Wonderful things are accomplished
in the surgical world these days. Six
year-o,d Arthur SHIRLEY was shot by q
maniac in New York recently. and was
likely to die through loss of blood.
The doctors suggested TRANSMISSION OF
blood from a strong and healthy per.
sons body into that of the dying boy.
The lads foster mother gladly offered
herself for the strange sacrifice.
Mrs. SHIRLEY, scorning anaesthetics,
bore the pain without flinching as the
surgeons opend a vein in her arm. In
a moment the blood from her healthy
system was flowing into the enfeebled
body of her adopted son. The change
in the boys appearance during the
20 minutes the TRANSMISSION contin'
ued was wonderful. A healthy glow
came to his skin and his pale lips be.
came ruddy. When the tube was re-
moved the surgeons announced that
the operation had been success.
Mrs. SHIRLEY was so weak from the
loss of blood that she could scarcely
speak. but she smiled cheerfully az
she was told the boy was much bene'
hted by her sacrifice.

Another Building Gain.

Another Building Gain.
Des Moines' building activities for
February, 1910, were 20 per cent
greater than those of the same month
of 1909, according to the official re.
ports as compiled by the American
Contractor,
Building activities throughout the
entire country were % per cent
smaller than during February b year
ago. The American Contractor will
say in part: According to the pre-.
dictions made throughout the latter
part Of last year by the industrial
and financial press, the year 1910 was
set down as coming record breaker,
which forecast, however, has failed
to materialize in building operations.
Of the forty-three cities, sixteen
show a loss Of from to 70 per cent
and twenty.seven show gain of from
2 to 269 per cent. Cities representing
a gain of so per cent or more are:
Birmingham, 60 per cent; Grand Rap
ids, SIS per cent; Hartford, 112 per
cent; Louisville, 267 per cent; Los
Angeles, 100 per cent; Manchester,
679 per cent; Minneapolis, go per
cent; New Haven. 50 per cent; Salt
Lake City, IS per cent.
Des Moines' gain was 20 per cent.
in February, 1909, the cost of build
ings was S54,025 and for the same
month of 1910, $65,O75. Des Moines
is the only city of Iowa shown in the
report.
Contractors declare that If it had
not been for the extreme cold wealth
er of February the building activities
in Des Moines would have been twice
as great as those of year ago.
The total amount of building done
In the forty-three cities of the United
States during February was $685.
