GRAFT LEG ON SOLDIER.
French Surgeons Performing Marvel

French Surgeons Performing Marvel
Gus Operation.
| One of the most remarkable opera
tons on record is now being perform
| ed at the Grand Palais, Paris, the mas
sive building usually used for annual
salon, now transformed into vast hos
pital. Here two soldiers lie side by
side, bound together, while large por
ton Of the leg of one of them is being
slowly transferred into the leg of the
other one.
! Noted surgeons watch the slow de-
| velopment which they regard as mar
| velous, both from the surgical stand
point as well as from the sentimental,
in which one soldier is calmly giving
day by day part of his body to a fellow
soldier.
The two men lie on their backs on a
large operating table in one of the halls
of the hospital They lie in opposite
directions, the head of one near the feet
of the other, like the figures on playing
cards. They are among the most Sc
! riously wounded of the younger class of
soldiers, one IS and the other % years
old. The younger, Rousselot, was
wounded in the leg in the early days of
the war.
Brought here last September, il was
necessary to perform a second opera
ton TO lengthen his leg fourteen cent?
meters (about 5l2 inches). But after
the extension was performed there was
still u lack of bony matter between the
two portions of the broken femur.
The other soldier. Tillette. an artil-
leryman, was seriously wounded in the
leg two months ago in the desperate
fight over Fort Douaumont.9 In field
operation his leg was amputa ted sabove
the knee. Later it was found that a
second operation was necessary in or
der to shorten the leg by some cent?
meters.
1t was at this point that the sur
geons concluded that the soldier who
needed the shortened leg could give up
this portion to the soldier who needed
the longer leg. Tillett was consulted
by the chief surgeon: rne operation of
grating was fully explained to him.
and 1t was made known also that he
was rendering service to soldier
comrade and to science.
| Now after some weeks the two SOL
diers lie there on their backs, the right
| thigh of Rousselot against the left
thigh of Tillett. bound together with
the same surgical bandages so as to
prevent the slightest shifting of the
operated parts, until the phenomenon of
transferring one leg to the other is ac-
complished.

last year war orders were diffusing &C
tivity in widely separated lines. Money
is former, demand is better and de-
posts at some points are decreasing,
but at the metropolis funds placed by
trust companies seem TO have pre-
vented the market from maintaining
the full advance. The stock market
reflects bearish operations, which ap-
parenty are shifted from one group OF
stocks to another when and as condi-
tons are deemed propitious. Building
exenditures for the first half Of the
year at 120 cities equal the best aggre-
gates of past years, and are - per cent
ahead of a year ago.
Crop reports last week were general
~ good. Temperatures have ruled
high, favoring winter wheat harvesting
and corn and cotton growth, corn es-
pecially making up great deal of lost
ground. The only drawbacks are re-
ports of rust. not very widespread,
however in the northwest spring wheat
fields and rain and wind damage in
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi cot
ton areas. Hot, dry weather has bene-
flied corn, and much lotsg round is re-
ported regained, SO that the crop as a
whole is little below normal. Iowa
makes a good showing in this respect.
The corn crop at the south is in good
shape, but it is still backward in east
ern states.
