LIFE AFTER oEcAPITATIoN
French Physician Asserts That Death
10 Not instantaneous.

Considerable attention has lately
been given in France to the old ques-
ton as to whether death follows in.
simultaneously upon decapitation. A
French physician asserts that 1t does
not. In his opinion the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from
the large vessels of the neck and there
is hardly any call upon the circulation
OF the Uranium, says the London News.
The brain remains intact, nourishing
itself with the blood retained by tne
pressure of the air. When the blood
remaining In the head at the moment
or separation Is exhausted there COM
mences state, not of death, but OK
inertia, which lasts up to the moment
when the organ, no longer FED,
ceases to exist. 1t is estimated by the
physician in question that the brain
finds nourishment In the residuary
blood for about an hour after decapl'
tation. The period of inertia would
last for about two hours, he thinks
and absolute death would not ensue
till after the space of three hours al
together. Possibly this may be some
consolation to those about to be gull
lotined.
