HEART REPAIRED WITH WIRE

John Braden rests at the University

The heart is the pump which keeps

other pumps have, and when an engt

was disturbed by its unnatural noise,

Finally the pressure became so very

Aortd.
| Charles II. Frazier essayed the deli
cate task of tightening up the valve
of his heart and reinforcing the entire
structure.
Examination disclosed the fact that
the aorta was about to rupture This
would inevitably have resulted in
death
DR.. Frazier opened the aorta as
near to the heart as possible and
deftly inserted hollow needle which
had been electrically insulated.
Through this needle DIR. Frazier push
ed and arranged in evenly distributed
coils more than six feet of solid gold
wire This thread of wire was guided
by the surgeon through the pulsing
blood vessel by the sense of touch
alone, and it was built up In the
aorta, at the point of its weakest dila-
ton, Just as weakened building wall
would be strengthened at its most
perilous point Thus the heart was
bound round, on the inside, with &
coil of strong but fine wire, caught
and held in place by the surgeons
trained fingers. Then the problem of
preventing hemorhage arose.
Coagulation of the blood was the
great, the vital end sought. 1t was
decided to employ electricity to obtain
this purpose. Coagulation takes place
at both ends of the galvanic current
that at the positive pole being small,
black and hard, and that the the mega
tive being larger, softer and of yell
lowish color. 1t happens that the
blood is the very best agency In the
body for the conducting of electricity,
and when. as in this case, both poles
are inside the sac and near to each
other, mild current of electricity
will cause vigorous electrolysis. In
applying the current to Braden a
rheostat was used to control the flow
and to prevent shock when it should
be cut off.
Thus by coagulation the reinforce
ment of the heart was accomplished
over the gold wire framework and
nature is building new wall within
the valve, stopping all leakage and
giving John Braden a new lease of
life.

THE DEWEY TAKEN IN TOW.
Hydraulic Dredge to Be Employed on
Contract in Baltimore.

In tow of the Baltimore tugboat NJ. w.

has been employed for several months in
dredging operations on the Eastern
branch and i'll rec.aiming the flats on the
south side of that waterway, left here
yesterday Ell route to Baltimore, where
she will be employed.
The Dewey was brought to the Potomac
about two years ago and was used by
her owners, Sanford K Brooks of Bal
timOre, in harbor improvement work in
front of Alexandria. Soon after finish
ing up the work at Alexandria Sanford
K Brooks obtained contract for the
dredging of 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial from the Eastern branch and pump
| ing 1t ashore.
She started on the work last February
and. with additional work given her had
| dug and pumped ashore more than mil
lion cubic yards of material when she
lcompleted the work about three weeks
ago. In company with the dredge is two
lighters laden with pipe and pontoons
and a number of pontoons made up into
a raft also are in the tow. 1t is expect
ed that several days will be required for
the tug to take the heavy tow down the
Potomac and up Chesapeake bay to her
destination.

TITLE TO DISTRICT LAND
SUBMITTED TO COURT
Controversy Over Right of Way
for Railway Line to
Navy Yard.

Reference to long-standng controversy
over certain lands in the District is made
by Harry W. Miller. solicitor of the Navy
Department, in his annual report. Re-
gardng the proposed branch railroad
along the west bank of the Anacostia
river to the navy yard, the solicitor says:
THE controversy over the title to the
land to be occupied by the proposed spur
track and switch yard is now pending be-
fore the courts While there is no pros
pect of an early determination of the
proceedings, it is believed that the suit
that has been filed, in which the question
of the title to all lands desired for the
construction of the tracks will be finally
decided will remove the objections here
tofore offered to the execution of the
agreement contemplated by the act of June
~ 1910 Negotiations have been again
instituted looking to the execution of the
agreement. The compensation for this
delay is that the expense of the under
taking will be considerably lossened by
the establishment of the government s
title to the greater part of the lands, and
the danger of having to defend against
claims in the future will be removed

According to the report, condemnation
proceedings were rcsor ed to by the
Navy Department for the acquisition OF
the tract of land known as Norman

for the Naval Observatory and grounds
south of Massachusetts avenue and east
of Wisconsin avenue. The price fixed by
the commission for such land amounted
TO s19,2ls, averaging about S1.Oo foot
FOR the whole tract:
THAT price said Solicitor Miller, 'ap-
neared TO be excessive. but opinions and
estin7ates obtained from disinterested
exnerts indicate that in all probability
no more favorable terms for the gov
eminent could be secured i'll any way,
and it is believed that an exchange for
said land at the price named OF certain
land outside the circle belonging to the
government. together with the payment
of q sum of money to be agreed on,
would be the best arrangement Tor the
government interests that could be
effected. Negotiations looking to such a

progress.
