your correspondent called Dr.
Clarence Bigelows attention to an
article printed recently in the city
newspapers. descriptive Of an Austria

and kill it on the other side Of the
ocean after It Is thawed out again. In
this way the cast Of food and attention
canc be dispensed with while at sea.
In cases Of emergency . man travelling
from California can buy a first-class
ticket 6r. himself. aud ship the rest
of the family. including the mother
in-law, in patent refrigerators. At
the terminus of his journey he could
restore his children ", their youthful
vigor, and his wife To her proper
station at the washtub or cook stove.
Your correspondent asked the
Doctor what he thought about it.
ct is nothing" said he. ito the
great browning effort of medical
science that witnessed a few nights
since"
"Pray what was that ?" was asked.
The Doctor reflected for a few
moments, and then he spoke as
follows:
"When you publish what | am
about to tell you it will set the whole
country ringing. Accompanied by
nv friends Judge Warren and DR..
Chambers, l went last week to one Of
the uptown hospitals. whittier We had
been invited BY Prof. Doremus and
the house physicians. On our. arrival
we were shown at once to the dissect-
ing room. At the foot Of an
amphitheater of seats stood q long
table on which rested some immovable
objects covered with u white sheet.
Most Of the seats were occupied BY
medical students from Bellevue and
Roosevelt Hospitals. Myself and party
were assigned to chairs on the plat
form. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
| white sheet was removed. and | saw
on the table the nude body Of a man.
Presently DIR. White stepped down by
the table and said:
my friends. the body before me is
that of a man who b!ed to death.
He was employed in a planning mill
on West Sixteenth street, near North
River. He fell against one of the
swift revolving saws, one of the large
arteries in his arm was severed, and
the blood. which is life. flowed out
before assistance could arrive"
1.-The Doctor paused" continued
DR.. Bigelow, "for a few moments,
looking, meanwhile, attentively at the
body. Then he continued: There
is a mere cessation of life. because
the blood was diverted from its
natural channel. / can discover No
injury save the severed artery. 1t il
absolutely necessary to the success of
the experiment we are about to
witness. that the organs Of the body
be uninjured, for any material injury
to any ogan-I mean vital organ
would preclude the possibility Of its
performing its functions, since science
can not restore the organ. But where
the action of the organ is interrupted
by some cause that does not materially
injure the organ, then l believe that
the organ may be again compelled TO
perform its duty. As the great wheel
of mill may be stopped by shutting
OF the water. SO may it he made to
revolve again by turning the water on,
thus the blood which turns the wheels
of the body having been diverted.
the wheels stopped. 1 claim that this
body may be brought to life. Whether
the soul has departed and can be
brought back, or whether the mind
NAV be restored can not tell; but
believe can again set at work every
material organ Of this body. / have
carefully closed up the severed
arteries.
| "He then called upon Prof. Dore-
mus, and DR.. Chambers and myself to
assist him. An incision was made i n
the body just above the heart, and
the vena cava and great coronary vein
we're bursted open. In those openings
were inserted small silver tubes. On
the left of the table stood two galvanic
batteries. A slight cut was made
just above the puxns of the four
inferior cervical nerves and another
above the first dorsal nerve. The
conducting wires Of the respective
batteries We're placed in connection
with these cuts. A small pair of
bellows was inserted in the muuth of
the corpse. and DR.. Chambers took
charge Of them. Prof. Doremus was
placed in charge of the batteries.
AT this moment attendants led
two full grown living sheep into the
room. and. at a signal from DR.. White,
stood them near the table. Mean
while l had. under instructions,
connected two hollow rubber
strings to the silver tubes already
mentioned. The other ends were soon
connected with the large arteries of
these two sheep. The two tubes
threbbed as the warm blood of the
sheep bounded through them. 1t was
a breathless moment, end as We leaned
forward our interest was painful.
DIR. Chambers began to work the
bellows, and the lungs of the body
slowly responded. Three or four
minutes of the most anxious suspense
ensled, as DIR. White leaned over the
body pale with excitement. No
movement could be seen save the slow
rising and falling Of the chest of the
mans body. Two minutes more. and
one Of the sheep staggered and fell.
Rising erect. and selling some
instruments. DR.. White called out:
