In case of drowning the machine
when applied will draw off the water
and force pure air into the lungs.
With the old method the patient could
not begin breathing until all water
had been removed from the lungs,
whereas by use of the resuscitator the

In cases of gas poisoning the same
process follows, the gas being replaced
by the air. Both the amount of air
and the number of respirations per
minute can be regulated by the lever.
The usefulness is increased by the fact
that air can be expelled and introduced
into the lungs without the volition of

A Tree on a Steeple.

The spectacle of tree standing
upon tower of the Unitarian Church
in the city of Utica, n. Y, has aroused
much interest, as well as discussion,
as to what is really essential to plant
life in order that development may
continue.
This mountain ash has been growing
for thirty years upon narrow ledge
of sandstone, sprouting from joint
in the masonry less than an inch in
width; the main stem, just above the
stone, at the present time has q
diameter of five inches. The tree is
fifteen or sixteen feet in height and
possibly eight feet across its widest
port; the branches are thick and
numerous, and for some years each
autumn they have been bright with
the vivid scarlet berries peculiar to
this species of tree.
Protruding from chink in a NOR
tared wall, forty two feet above the
street, exposed to the glare of the sun
in the summer and the frosts of many
severe winters, its roots only having
the mortared interstices of masonry
through which to penetrate in search

Mr.. William r. Desant haa inyepte

Mr.. William r. Desant has invented
an apparatus by which tho grim
destroyer can be deprived OF A great
portion of his prey. His invention is
n resuscitator, in which he has copied
Nature in her action OF breathing and
has actually produced u pair OF lungs
made of brass
The machine consists of two air
cylinders, the capacity of which equals
that OF the human lungs thirty cubic
inches. The valves also resemble those
of the human being ms closely as they
could be made to do so. A lever con-
nected with the piston rod causes n
pressure and suction corresponding TO
the inspiration and expiration of the
human lungs.
In cases Of apparent death from
drowning, gas or morphine poisoning
the action OF the tubes restores respira-
tion by removing nll foul air or
poisonous gas from the lungs with the
first movement of the lever. Another
movement and the cavities are filed
with pure air, thus restoring the lungs
to their normal functions, inducing
natural breathing without the effort
of the patient.
Where gas poisoning has occurred
all physicians agree that the blood he
comes impregnated with gas and the
necessity for the removal of the gas
from the blood is rs great as the evacua.
