roughs and Fell Into Stream.

Utica. y. Y. June 19.-With a view Of
showing the well known naturalist the
beauties Of the Trenton Falls Gorge. Eu-
gene \. Rowland, OF Rome took John
Burroughs there to-day and this after
neon fell into the stream from a rocky
path and was drowned. Mr.. Burroughs

Bloods Found Fusible.

Nhen the heroic effort I'm Mrs. Ioa's

fusion was determined upon. Senator
Lea. athletic in stature. would not con-
sent 10 anything except that sacrifice
Ct his own blood TO renew her VANISHING
strength be made. But because a prirne
factor in TRANSMISSION operations is that
the bloods be fusible tests were hastily
ordered. Before the analysis was COM
plete. the surgeons Drs. H. :. Frey and
George Tully Vaughan. fearing that
death might be swifter than they. be-
came alarmed at Mrs Lea's condition
and decided 10 try the operation ANYWAY.
Just as the Senator's arm had been
barred and a tube inserted in an artery
word came that the boods of the hus-
band and wife We're fusibic
The other end Of the tube which had
been inserted in Senator Lea's arm was
connected with an incision i'm Mrs. Lea's
arm and the blood began to Gow from
his veins to those of his wife. The
TRANSMISSION continued for about AN hour
and a half.
The patient responded TO the treatment
from the first. Gradually the color was
restored 10 the liDs and cheeks Of the
frail sufferer. But as Mrs. Lea's color
was restored the flush faded from the
checks OF her husband. His thought was
not Of himself and when the TRANSMISSION
had continued for an hour and hair he
urged the surgeons not 70 arrest the
operation while there was the possibility

Lea's case. But the surgeons, realizing
the weakening effects Of such drain
on the Senator's system, eventually
stanched the flow Of blood. After the
operation Senator Lea fell TO the floor in
IL faint He was Immediately placed in
bed and tonight is making splendid
progress in recovering his strength.
Not the least favorable element In his
recovery is mis- buOyant mental attitude
