How \ MAN FREEZES TO DEATU
Mr.. pouchct lately read an inter
, csting paper on the subject, before
= the French Academy of Science
The authors differences are as fol
lows -
/. The first phenomenon produc
ed By cold is contraction OF the ca
pilldry vessels to such an extent
| that a gi0hule of blood cannot Ell.
-, ter these vessels, therefore, remain
completely empty.
.. The second phenomenon is an
/, alteration Of the blood globules,
Whc, amount to their complete dis
organization.
:. 3. Every animal completely fro1.
en- is absolutely dead, and no power
: can reanimate il.
q 1, When oniy pait is frozen
r. that part is destroyed by gangrene
-" 5. If the part frozen is not exten
g slVe and only few dSorganize'
= blood glohuleS pass into circulation
20 the animal may possibly recover.
.. 6. But if, on the contrary, tn
=. frozen part is of considerable extent
n then the mass of altered globule
brought into circulation when th,
part Is thawcd rapidly, kills the AM

1t I. For this reason a half frozen
animal may live long time, ii main

Il as soon as the frozen part is thaNcd

Il is due to the alteration of the blood

P" Q. 1t results from these facts
