Shamrock / Beats Her by over Five
Minutes on "a TwentH-NiIe Course.
Weymouth, May 13-In weather con
ditions all favorable for a fair trial with
the wind fresh and steady, the course
clear of all distractions and no tides OF
any consequence, the Shamrock l to-day
beat Sir Thomas Lipton's new boat by
five minutes and FIVE seconds over a tri-
angular course of about twenty miles
The only possible disadvantage to the
challenger was in the fact that she used
her old maiusail which sits worse since
its salt water bath of Thursday. There
was no discoverable holding back of the
challenger, although once or twice she
pointed such a course as left the sus-
picion that The steersman was not taking
advantage of every chance. There is no
doubt that the result of to-day's trial
vas distinctly disappointing TO those
who had pinned their faith to the new
challenger, especially as the Shamrock l
on the previous spins had not showed
even equality with the new racer on any
point of sailing with the exception of
running.
Will he Taken on at Once.
Mr.. Watson considers to-dsy's results
so unsatisfactory that he has decided off
hand to take the new boat back to
Southampton and to have her docked in
order to ascertain whether any of the
plates were displaced by the grounding
on Dean bank last week
Opportunity will be taken to have her
new gatf and mainsail fitted The work
will proceed night and day until it is
finished and the trials will then be re-
sumed a Weymouth.

Instant Death.

"The instant of DEATH" says The In
dian Lancet, is a vague and indefinite
expression when viewed from the point
of physiology. An animal or plant
cannot be considered dead until 1t has
reached that period in disintegration
where 1t is impossible to revive life.
Some psychologists still further restrict
the definition to that point in decay
where every cell in the body OF an AMI
NAL or plant has ceased to contain or
consist Of living protoplasm-in other
words, each cell must have lost be-
yond recall its life powers.
/ Probably one Of the most striking ex-
amples Of instantaneous death was
that of the person who accidentally fell
into a large vat Of boiling caustic pot
ash. which at once consumed the entire
body, leaving only the metallic plates
from the heels Of his shoes and few
buttons from the clothing as remains.
Death from electric shocks also border
on the instantaneous process. 1t has
been found that living cells taken from
the body can be preserved In normal
state for long time and then have life
processes revived IL they are properly
treated.
