DEAD CHILD
Was Brought to Life by Powerful
Currents Of Electricity.


Essex, Ont, Correspondent New York
Herald.
Drs. James Brien and w. c.. Doyle,
physicians in this town, were called
last week to attend Mrs. Frank Wag-
ner In confinement. When the child
was born it was of unusual size and
gave no signs Of life.
The physicians worked more than
an hour in vain attempt to bring to
life the child by inverting and spank
ing, hot and cold water, baths, inflat-
ing the lungs with tube, artificial
respiration and every other means
known, and they finally decided to use
electricity.
The house where the baby was born
Is three blocks from the physicians
office. The doctors wrapped the child
in a blanket and carried it to the Of
flee, where no time was lost in alter
nately applying the Faradic current
and the galvanic current. The mega
tive pole was placed at the base of
the brain and the positive pole to the
abdomen. The physicians admins
tered current of 120 milliamperes to
the body, and in fifteen minutes after
commencing the treatment the child
gave a short gasp. This encouraged
power of the electric current to zoe
nilliamperes, the positive pole being
changed to the base Of the brain and
the negative pole to the abdomen
Every moment the little one showed
increasing signs of life, and within
ten minutes 1t was breathing naturally
The doctors then decided to give
the child an electrical spray bath. This
was done with a static machine, an6
when it was completed the youngstei
was to all intents as healthy as any
other child less than two hours old.
When the physicians were assured
that the improvement was likely to
be permanent, they hurried back tt
the mother and presented her with the
pink and-white morsel of humanity
and that she was overjoyed goes with.

WONDERFUL CORN
Grows While You Wait and Is Break

ing Down Fences.
Lincoln (Neb.) Cor. New York Sun.
This has been great corn weather in
Nebraska. The hot sun has been
making the stalks shoot up with great
vigor. Secretary Of State Marsh, who
has Just returned from northern Me-
braska, says that reputable farmer
near Randolph told him that even
near-sighted travellers could see them
grow. This farmer started to town
one morning. and while passing q big
cornf1eld observed it acting strangely.
When he first noticed it the corn was
about three feet high He had his old
mare that day, and was just jogging
along. The nearer he got toward
town the higher the, corn appeared to
be. Before he got to the booze center
the tassels began forming, the silk
could be seen, and as he turned to
look back the ears were shooting
above the green.
In the irrigated district, says Mr..
Marsh, the yield is SO great that the
pasture lands will have to be used for
piling UP the husked product. He
heard of one man who had suffered
the loss of all of his fences thru the
fact that the ears were go large that
they expanded the field Of corn and
! burst the combining bars.
| Land Commissioner Follmer says
| that in his part of the state the ex-
| pected profits of the farmers will be
materially reduced thru an unexpected
expense. The ears have grown SO
large and heavy that many Of the
farmers, in order to prevent the stalks
from breaking off, have had to string
wires across at distances ora few feet
| from one side of the field to the othev,
| From each main wire laterals run to
| the stalks.
Bend, says that he marketed last
year 220 bushels of kiln-dried shell
corn from one acre. This brought
him $500 in cash. He got $500 more
from farm paper which had offered
that sum as premium for the larges,
yield per acre in the west and anoth-
er $500 from a fertilizer manufactures
| for an advertising certificate.
