sts Eject ON the Arteries-Ths At
tempts at ResuscitntiOn.
The experiments which DIR. A. M.
Bleile, of the Ohio State University.
has been making with regard to the
effects of electric shocks upon animal
organism, says a Columbus dispatch.
have reached a stage where work
Ing theory can be predicated upon the
results obtained This theory is Il
complete departure from that most
commonly accepted. 1t has been sup
posed that the cause of death from
electricity was the breaking down OF
the tissues. But the elaborate expert
ments which Prof. Bleile has made
during the last month or more leave
no doubt in his mind that death re-
suits from a very different cause. He
has found by experimenting with a
large number of dogs that an electric
shock of sufficient intensity to cause
death results in a contraction of the
arteries, 80 that they refuse to per-
form their functions. This throws the
blood from the veins upon the heart,
and virtually browns the operation OF
that vital organ.
the proof of this is found not only
in the effects which have been observ-
ed in the arteries after death, but In
the fact that when nitro-glycerine is
given before a shock Is administered
1t requires heavier current to kill.
This is due to the well known action
of nitro-glycerine in enlarging the ar
nd In in ctnO 0rtnrIDI l
action.
Curiously enough, it has been found
that nitrate Of anyl, which also tends
to dilate the arteries, does lot have
any effect II given after the shock has
been administered. If some means
could be discovered by which the ar
teries could be dilated after the shock.
DR.. Bleile thinks it might be possible
to resuscitate a person who has been
apparently killed by an electric shock.
but until that is done there is appar-
emily no way by which man killed
by electricity can be brought back to
life.
The research of DR.. Bleile was in
spired by the claim that resuscitation
was possible by means of artificial
respiration. He experimental at con-
siderable length to see II this were
possible, but found that even where
the artificial respiration was main
tained for two hours there was no
favorable result, and no signs of re-
turning life. He is convinced that ar
titicial respiration Is Of value only In
cases where the shock has been so
slight as to cause simple insensibility.
1t is well established by these expe-
riments also that the heart continues
to beat for an hour or more in Its vain
efforts to compel the arteries to per-
form the task for which nature de-
signed them. If some means could be
applied which would enlarge the ar
teries after shock, then resuscitation
in the vast majority of cases of cleo
trocution would be possible. The ex-
periments Of DR.. Bleile demonstrate
the painlessness of death from electric
shocks.

Infection from street Toys.

The reading public is by this time
fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which 1t is exposed, and 1t has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrimi-
nate use of their hair brushes and
towels, and of the ear pieces of the
phonograph: to touch not with the un-
gloved hand the brass guiding rail Of
the street car, and to be suspicious
even of the telephone transmitter.
But, according to medical journal,
the latest hazard in infection is con-
fined to children. Many ingenius toys
are now offered on the sidewalk of
city streets by itinerant venders. One
of these is a tube OF paper, furnished
with a short piece of bamboo at one
end, up to which it Is coiled by the
action of a slight steel spring. On
blowing into the bamboo the coil is
unrOlled and shoots out nearly a yard,
and the sudden extension has conf
cal effect, very entertaining to the
youthful mind. Another form of toy
Is miniature bagpipe, which is made
to emit its characteristic sounds by
the pressure of air from small rub
ber ball which has been inflated by
the air blown from the mouth. Atten-
tion is called to the possible ccnse-
quences of buying these toys. which
are presented to child after being
inflated by questionable breath, and
perhaps wetted with the moisture OF
the vender. An infected mouthpiece
has been known to be the origin of
grave constitutional troubles. and it
seems strange that persons who would
hesitate to drink out of glass that
r., r.
take them to their children without
thought of the disease by which they
may have been contaminated. Among
the impoverished makers and vendors,
sore throats. diptheria and contagious
fevers IN very early stages may be
raging. and children may contract
fatal diseases of ever worse chnrac-
ter than any of these BY using these
toys.

than Some Adults.
Considerable interest is manifest in
Creston, Iowa, over the wonderful pro-
clivities for learning Of little Dale
Slough, the 6-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. B. Slough. E!stle Dale's re-
tentive memory and his capabilities for
learning are extraordinary. He first
began to develop these powers at the
age Of 2 years, when his father bought
him a set of alphabet blocks. These he
learned rapidly and upon some of them
being lost told which blocks were miss
ing and the letters upon them. He
started to school last September and his
rapid advancement was a source of oon-
siderable worry to his instructors. Pro-
motion followed promotion in quick sue
cession, and finally some of the teachers
went to the parents and complained
that he outstripped his classmates 80
quickly as to make 1t almost impossible
to grade him. Dale is at present read
ing the fifth reader and studying his
tory at home. He locks horns with al
most any one in spelling contest.

happened to allude to the date the pay
car would arrive a month or two in ad-
vance, and named a certain date that
he figured 1t would arrive. Dale in
stantly denied this on the grounds that
the date mentioned would be Sunday,
and examination proved him right.
