Life Restored.

A novel experiment in the TRANSMISSION
of blood has recently been made in Den
yer. Col, by MIR. G.. A. Armitage The
subject operated on--a terrier dog
was bled to death. The animal passed
through all the symptoms of dying and
after the last blood issued from the
wound, his frame became fixed and rig
i'd and his eyes glazed as in death. The
dog lay dead for three hours, in room
kept at temperature of ZOE Fab. Dur
ing this time he became very stiff and
cold. He was then placed in a warm
bath, thoroughly rubbed, and his limbs
gently worked. A half pint of hot
water was passed into his stomach,
and tube. attached to bellows, intro
duced into his wiud-pipe in such man
ncr that air could be withdrawn as well
as inhaled. A powerful Newfoundland
dog was now bled and the live dogs
blood slowly injected into the dead
animal. When a pint of fresh blood
had been injected a change became APP
parent about the eyes and tremor was
noticeable Throughout the body. In a
minute or two more the dog gasps, the
eyes become brighter and more natural
and his efforts more violent and con-
elusive, as if in fit. Soon these exer-
tons cease, and the animal be-
gins low whine. In twenty
minutes after the first blood
was injected, the dog sits up after hav-
ing been dead three hours and twenty
minutes. He is now in rugged health
with seemingly no bad remembrance OF
his resuscitation. Several more equally
remarkable and successful experiments
were made, the most noteworthy being
that of a dogs restoration to life after
being dead eighteen hours The mode
of treatment was the same, and the
dead animal. as in the instance cited
scientifically restored to life.

The Great Eastern.

The Great Eastern, which has been
almost forgotten since she was used in
laying the Atlantic Cable in 1866, is
now talked of again as a great floating
palace hotel for the accommodation OF
visitors 10 the New Orleans Exposition.
She was begun May 1, 1854, and by
Nov. 3, 1857, had advanced to the
launching condition, various attempts
being made between then and Jan. 81,
1857, at an expenditure of 100000, to
effect the launching. The ship left the
Thames on Sep. 8, 1859; an explosion
of steam pipes took place off Hastings,
seven persons were killed and several
wounded, and the voyage abruptly
came to an end at Weymouth. After
many failures arrangements were made
by which the ship was to be perman-
emily chartered by the Telegraph Con-
struction and Maintenance company
Between 1860 and 1874 the Great East
ern successfully laid some of the most
important telegraphic cables-across
the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, in
the Red sea, across the Indian ocean,
across the equator from Europe to
Brazil, etc. Mr.. Brunei planned and
Mr.. Scott Russell built the Great East
ern. Her length was $50 feet between
perpendieulars, or 692 feet upper deck;
breadth, so feet, or 118 over paddle
boxes; height of hull, 60 feet, or 20 to
top of bulwarks. But many alterations
were made later on to the original
plan

politanism; let everyone enjoy and adj

thing we are certain of. that in our
country there is more taste exercised
