Electricity and Life.

DR.. Richard H. Cunningham, Of Co
lumbia university, who has long been
making experiments at the Vanderbilt
clinic on dogs, turtles and frogs, asserts
that it has been demonstrated that an
animal apparently killed by contact
with an electric current, and in whose
body respiration and circulation have
ceased, may be brought to life He
declares that an ordinary industrial
electric currentsuch ms is used in per-
forming legal executions in New York
state, does not produce instant death,
and that if it were possible to have in
constant readiness suitable apparatus,
the suspended vital functions and con-
seriousness could be restored. The
method he employs is the infusion of
defibrinated blood.

Pure water Is Poison.

A scientist of some standing asserts
that chemically pure water is poison to
the human stomach, upsetting some
hitherto accepted theories regarding
distilled water by the argument that in
distillation. the water loses sundry
salts that it greedily abstracts from the
animal tissues when it is swallowed,
thus constituting a protoplasmic poi
son.
