discriminating the Heart.

The Russian feat of terminating the heart of child that had been dead 20 hours is shown by Dr. R. Romme to be nothing new. The heart is not the del icate organ generally supposed, and for a long time phy siologists have under stood the possibility that it could be restored to action, the effect being of shorter duration in the human heart than in that of lower animals. A cur rent of arterial blood, or a solution of salt charged with oxygen, is a common means of restoring the beating to dead hearts. By massage, the exposed heart being rhythmically rubbed with the hand, Prof. Prus, of Lemberg, has suc- seeded in terminating 5 hearts out of 100, and by combining massage with electrization M. Batelli, of Geneva, has revived dead dogs, and kept them alive as much as 24 hours. Human beings have been revived by the latter meth cd, though only for short time.-Medical IoTrnal

NEW OCEAN DANGER.
Spring Icebergs in the Track of the
 Atlantic Liners.
It Is the First Time They Were Ever Known to Appear During the Stormy SeasOn-Add to Dam1
 gers of Navigation.

Travellers crossing the Atlantic this spring have encountered 8 danger never before recorded at such a lime of the year, and, in fact, a danger that has never before been known. Every vessel traversing the usual course be- tween New York, Boston and Liverpool and other northern European ports have reported passing vast fields of icebergs.
 Icebergs in the track of the trans Atlantic liners Is not an unusual oc- currence during July and August, but their presence at this time is far less dangerous than during the stormy sea- son of March and April. During the earlier months the Atlantic is swept by severe storms and clouded by heavy fogs and darkened skies, while the temperature of the water is so low ast. to make. it practically impossible to tell of the nearness of the ice fleet by the lowering of the hethermometer.
 During July and August the skies, as rule, are clear, the sea calm, and the water so warm that the approach of a berg will cause a decided drop in the thermometer even before it may be sighted.
 In reporting the existence of the ice berg peril R. R. Piper, of the New York Photographic office, says:
 Reports from almost all incoming vessels following the transatlantic routes show that an unusual number of icebergs have been seen during March and April.
 "Never since the Photographic office was established has the ice flow ap- peared so early in the spring or been so great. In 1899 ice in smaller quan- titles appeared in March, but there is usually little or none before the latter end of June or the first week in July. The flow generally takes place in July and August 4
 Fortunately there was little really severe weather during the latter part

acter. There is no longer the strongly yiding lines. Instead each length of paper is fitted at the top with a cap which joins the pattern exactly and forms a continuation of the design, says writer in the New Idea Maga- zine. But, while the motif is the same as that of the. main side walls, the treatment is entirely different, so that a border is formed, but with no sepa- rating line. It is simply natural completion of the side wall pattern. This style of border is called a crown frieze. The patterns differ widely and are most artistic.
 One paper shows motif of iris. The side wall paper is of the long, slen- der, reedlike leaves showing just hint of blue between, as though of water. The frieze is formed by the iris blossoms with the curling tips of the leaves. The ceiling paper gives a cloud effect, and the complete scheme is most beautiful and realistic. Exquisite roses, dainty lilies and gorgeous chrys- anthemums are also shown in the same style of treatment with equally good effect.
 Many dining rooms are now papered to give the paneled effect. This panel ed paper is put on below the plate rail, which is placed five feet from the floor, and above it striking paper with for est or hunting scenes completes the side wall
 A less radical change than the crown frieze is the cut out border for parlors and bedrooms These borders have the lower edge cut out along the outline of the design and are then applied over the paper, which is often a plain vale effect or narrow stripe. The borders are usually garlands, and thus cut form much more graceful finish than with the straight dividing line. For bedrooms the side wall paper is usual Iy howered, and some of the papers come in two patterns with the same motif That applied to the lower part of the wall has striped effect, while the upper part is of scattered bIos-

Icebergs passed.

In size they run from the small ones that project barely above the water to great pyramids that rise for 300 feet into the air, and extend for a mile in length. The largest berg of which there is record stood 956 feet above the water, and is estimated to have weighed 16,OOO,00O tons. As there is usually less than one-ninth of the to- tai of a berg visible above the water line, this one in all probability extend ed 1000 feet from bottom to top. Bergs that rise 300 feet into the air are not uncommon, and several of this height have been reported this spring, though the largest one seen was of a different formation and extended in length for 1,50O feet, while it was but about 15o feet high.
 When the icebergs first began to ap- pear this year they were found only along the Newfoundland and Labra- dor banks. Just south of Newfouud- land they struck the gulf stream, which marks for a long distance the track of the liners, and by this great ocean current have now been distribu- ted all over the North Atlantic, where they will remain as menace to ocean travel until the warm waters of the stream and the winds from the south dissolve them. .-

Dogs Smell Death.

There's an old superstition that a
 bowling dog in front of the house of an i'll person portends death. One prominent physician believes abso- lutely in it. The physician has a woD- derfully acute sense of smell. Ere quently, he says, he can foretell the coming of death within AS hours of patients demise. Within two days of death, he says, a peculiar earthly odor becomes noticeable about a per son about to die. He, tells of one case where he became aware of the peculiar odor while talking to an apparently healthy man. That night the man dropped dead of heart dis ease. The physician is far from at tributing the peculiar manifestation to other, than physiological reasons. His own sense of smell is abRormally acute.-Chicago Chronicle.

Sixty mastodons have been found in New York, mostly along certain well- marked belts. Outside these belts the state Is barren.

of March this year, as combination of storms and ice would have meant seri- ous peril to transatlantic travel
 s'As it is, the steamers have to be constantly on the lookout for ice all the way across.
 ''The early appearance of the ice is probably the result of warm and early spring in northern latitudes, causing the breaking off of large amounts of ice from the edge of the great glacial flows. Thence they have been brought southward along the coast of Newfoundland into the path of steamer traffic by the polar cur- rent" ..-...-
 The numbers of these great bergs can hardly be realized, nor their vast ness imagined by those who have never encountered them.
