TO REVIVE A VICTIM OF VOLTS.
DR.. d'Arsonvals Method of Treating
Shocks From Electricity.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The method by which persons shocked
into seeming death by electrical currents
of high voltage may be resuscitated is
exceedingly simple, and when once thor
oughly understood may be used by lay
men with quite as good effect as the we'll
known method of restoring life to those
apparently drowned The two processes
are. in fact, somewhat similar. since in
each the prime object is to produce arti-
fetal respiration until the lungs resume
their natural function. In the case of the
supposedly drowned, however, it is neces-
sary first to empty the lungs of water.
And yet for the thorough appreciation
of the subject desirable in one who may
some day be called upon to endeavor to
restore human life, it is far better not to
confuse these two processes. AS DIR. Au-
gustus II. Goelet recently pointed out in
an article in the Electrical World, the
suspended animation following upon cleo
trical shock does not so much resemble
that attendant upon drowning as upon
fainting. In fact, the effect of the shock
Is practically nothing more or less than
a tremendous faint, the hearts action
practically ceasing.
Therefore the first and only considera-
ton is, to stimulate the heart into re-
newed action. Now. pure air is the best
possible heart stimulant. Therefore. It
follows that artificial breathing must be
porduced at once, and continued as long
as necessary. This is the whole thing in a
nutshell.
Before describing the process recon-
mended by DR.. Goelet for producing ar
tificial breathing for this purpose, it is
desirable to first tell under what con
ditions electrical shock may and may not
produce death When the current is of
sufficient volume, as well as intensity.

Antiouitv Of Lawyerg.

From the chicago tribune
The profession of law is as ancient as
society and the more enlightened the
society the more necessary and honorable
the profession. When Dean Swift called
the law a bottomless pit, cormorant, a
happy that devours everything, he was
more witty than wise Society would be a
bottomless pit and the harpy of anarchy
would devour everything without it. We
are in the habit of pointing back to the
thirteenth century, or to the time of Ed
ward L as the age when the profession
first appeared. The advocate was known
in Roman jurisprudence. The eloquent
Cicero won his first renown as an orator
in the defense of Roscius, the great ira
gedian, against SylIa, the dictator of
Rome. Here Cicero met such famous adj
vocates as Gotta and IIortensius. These
men were pleaders at the bar. Far back
of this time however, even 400 b. c., Es-
chimes and Demosthenes were pleaders at
the bar of Athens. Before this golden age

ans.
As far back as the seventeenth cen
fury far.sighted theologians had begun
to discern difficulties more serious than
any that had before confronted them,
says Andrew White in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. More and more it was
seen that the number of different species
| was far greater than the world had
hitherto imagined. Greater and greater
had become the old difficulty in conceiv-
| ing that OF these innumerabie species
each had been specially created by the
Almighty hand. that each had been
brought before Adam by the Almighty
| to be named, and that each, ia couples
or in sevens, had been gathered by
Noah into the ark. But the difficulties
thus suggested were as nothing COM
pared to those raised by the distribution
of the animals.
Even in the first days of the church
this had aroused serious thought. and,
] above all, in the great mind of st. Au-
gustine. In his "City of God" he had
stated the difficulty as follows: "Bu

their way to the islands after that flood
which destroyed every living thing not
preserved in the ark.
''Some. indeed, might be thought to
reach islands by swimming in case these
were not very far, but some islands are
so remote from continental lands that it
does not seem possible that any creature
could reach them by swimming. 1t is
not an incredible thing, either. that
some animals may have been captured
by men and taken with them to those
lands which they intended to inhabit,
in order that they might have the pleas

that the transfer may have been &C.
