MASSAGED BACK TO LIFE.
The Human Heart Revived from
Death by Means of Marvel
GUS Operation.

MaSsaging back to life human heart
that has ceased to beat is the marvellous
operation three times successfully per-
formed by modern surgery. A Philadel-
phia physician, DR.. w. w. Keen, is au-
thority for the statement that two of the
people thus brought back from the gates
Of death are now alive and healthy.
If this operation is finally established
as successful feature of surgery, OBJ
serves the Chicago Tribune, both lay
men and scientists look forward to the
following important results:
1. A material lessenfng of the number
of deaths which occur while the patient
is under the influence of ether or chloro-
form.
2. The possibility of a remedy and q
cure for that dreaded and mysterious all
ment known to science as eatalepsy.
3. removal of the awful dread of
being buried alive.
DR.. Keen does not stand sponsor for
all these claims But he does assert that
life apparently extinct has been renewed
by continuing the hearts closed pulsa-
ton through massage. In a case re-
Gently reported the patient was to all
intents and purposes dead. The heart
had ceased to beat. breathing had
stopped, and the collapse from chloro-
form was apparently complete. Death
had been apparent to the physicians and
nurses for five minutes before an opera
ton was undertaken. Then the surgeon
in charge deliberately cut open the dia-
phragm, reached for the heart, and en-
ployed the massage treatment. At the
end Of five minutes after repeated chat
ing, the heart resumed its beating and
respiration was restored by artificial
means. In two other recorded cases the
patients were brought back to life and
the operation was entirely successful.
It is related that some of the great
surgeons of Europe who have been
working upon this theory have spent
many years in experimenting on dumb
animals. In quite a number of their
cases the hearts of dogs that have been
frozen for so hours after the supposed
death have had their pulsation restored
by massage.
Physicians shake their heads over the
possibility of the new treatment being
applied to restore those attacked by
catalepsy But if it could be employed
in this way If would remove one of the
awful terrors of that disease, the fear
of being buried alive. So great is this
terror that men have asked that a knife
be plunged through their heart to make
death absolutely certain.

Air to Clean Streets.

A Michigan man has invented a
pneumatic STRENGTHENING machine de-
void of any brush or broom appliance
When the cleaner is drawn over the
surface it draws up the dust and dirt
by means of an exhaust, which takes
the place of brushes and brooms.- The
device draws. the dust and dirt into &
repository, where 1t is held until
dumped into cart, and so the dirt is
not allowed to stand in unsightly piles
around the streets waiting to be hauled
away by wagons. The inventor claims
that his machine will clean a street sc
thoroughly that it will not need sprink-
ling, but the surface to be operated OF
must not be .damp.-N. Y. Times.

DRAWING BY REFLECTION,
Something That May Seem Easy, But .
Is in Fact Very Diff
fcult.

Nov here" said. the lively boarder,
sis something that you may all have
seen before, but that was new to me. and
am sure it will interest you If you
haven't seen it.
You take a small, square. mirror.
like this one that find standing here
on the mantel, and rest it onthe table. or
get somebody TO hold it there for you.
standing upright and with face toward
you.
Then you put down ons the table, In
front of the mirror, piece of white pa
per, and you provide yourself witha lead
pencil with which to draw on the paper.
Then you cover over that hand that
you are to. draw with. or have some
body cover it over. with paper that will
conceal the hand and the pencil from d.
rect view. though you can seePthe rehec-
ton of the pencil in the mirror before
which you are holding it
Then, by the aid of the reflection In
the mirror of the lines you draw, you
try to draw on the paper a square with
diagonal intersecting lines across 1t.
You will find that with the hand
holding the pencil covered over, andonly
the reflection of the pencil in the mirror
to guide you, you can draw the square
pretty accurately without any great diff
ficulty. You are likely TO get 1t all right
at the first or at least at the second trial.
but the drawing of the diagonal lines
you will find to be very different prop
osition
You can see the pencil In the mirror,
and see just what you are doing with 1t,
but even with that help it is by.no means
as easy to draw those two diagonal lines
as you might imagine. Oh, some people
can do it pretty well. after one or two
trials, but more cannot; and some peo-
pie that can draw the. square all right
make. when they come. to try to put in
the diagonals, lines going every which
way, as zigZag and crooked as the err
ratio markings of a planchette pencil
when you press your hand upon the
board.
TT seems as though It must be very
easy. but it is really very hard. Now.
you folks try it,
And they did try it, and they found
more fun in 1t, they said, than IN any
thing they had tried in a long time.

GAMBLERS OF MONTE CARLO
Side Light on the Methods of the Man
ayers of the Notorious
Casino.

In Sir Henry Maxim's book on Monte
Carlo, lately published in London, he
tells this story of how the managers OF
the great gambling establishment
boom" things for the benefit of thei,
mOney-making game, says the New
York Times. Referring to the methods
of the bank in its dealings with Lore
Rosslyn. of the famous system" an0
the late Sam" Lewis, he says:
Upon one occasion these two gentle
men approached a trente-et-quarant
table and each staked maximum of 12,-
900 francs upon black. Black came UP
and the bank paid them "a 600 francs
Again they staked the maximum on
black, and again black came up. They
continued stalking on black till they had
scored seven consecutive wins, when the
bank was said to be broken. A bell was
rung, and an official Of the bank ap-
preached with considerable ceremony
A demand was made, also with cOnsid-
cradle amount of ceremony, for more
money; again, with considerable cere
mony, it was delivered, and the play
went on. black coming up every time.
The bank was again broken; more
This time there was great excitement
hundreds OF people were crowding about
the table, and everybody that could
stake louis staked on black; and black
continued to come up for IT times
Then, on the eighteenth coup, which
was red, Lord Rosslyn and Mr.. Lewis
each lost 10000 francs.
This" says Sir Hiram, was the
longest run 1 ever witnessed at Monte
Carlo. However. my suspicious were
aroused. 1 did not believe for mo-
ment that the bank had actually been
broken. 1 know that there had been
a great deal of play that day, and that
the winnings at this particular table
must have been heavy indeed.
81 therefore remained to see the
money taken from the table. when !
found that it was exactly as l had ex-
pected There was at least a peck OF
large banknotes. 1t had not been neces-
sary for the bank to send for money at
all; this had only been done for effect.
1T was telegraphed all over the world
that Lord ROsslyn and Mr.. Sam Lewis
had broken the bank three consecutive
times in a single evening. True, the
bank had lost money, but they turned
1t into a valuable advertisement

CHINESE AS BANK CLERKS.
Their Methods Appear Primitive Yet
Their Calculation Is Rapid
and Accurate.

China has a way of getting hold OF
some of the first principles of things,
even though she may not have devel-
oped them into elaborate and scien-
tific systems. The method Of calcu-
lation used in the Chinese banks may
seem primitive to the foreigner; never
theless it is carried on with rapidity
and accuracy, says Youths Companion.
An English officer, staying in Hong
Kong, tells of his visit to one of the
banks.
AS an Englishman he was received
with great civility. "Schron!" shouted
the head clerk. This word is not, as
it sounds, German, but a corruption
of the Hindu "sarraf," or bankers as
sistant. In response to the call ma
tive cashier appeared, noiSeleSs and
deferential, with a smooth-shaven
skull, a four-foot pigtail and spotless,
flowing garments. He carried neither
paper nor pencil about him.
l. With great rapidity he made the de-
sired exchange of notes, doing his cal
.culating on an abacus-a frame of
wire and beads, similar to those used
in country schools years ago. His
long, 1.-THE fingers moved over the
beads more quickly than the eye could
follow, but there was no mistake in
the total.
The officer wanted large piece of
money changed into small coin. In
stead of going through the WEAKNESS
involved in counting out the SOC
pieces included in this transaction, a
simple, ingenious device was en-
ployed. A fiat, wooden tray was pro-
duced containing 100 recesses, each
just big enough to lodge one coin and
just shallow enough to prevent the
possibility of two lurking together.
The pile of small coins poured out
on this tray, and with one jerk of the
clerks wrist the hundred recesses
were filled and the surplus swept off.
During the performance the clerk kept
his enormous sleeves tucked well up,
in order to disarm any possible sus-
picion of dexterous pilfering.
The officers change was correct to
the last penny and was obtained in
an incredibly short time.

THE OLD DAGUERREOTYPE.
It's Introduction Into America Gave
Impetus to a New
Business.

AS soon as Daguerre's process be-
came well enough known in America
for practice, scientific men and. in
fact, "all sorts and conditions of men,"
attempted to produce the wonderful
pictures. Many homemade and very
primitive kinds of apparatus were en-
ployed in the experiments including
the cigar box with a spectacle lens. If
the operator succeeded in producing
an impression that could be seen, il
was carried about and shown as a
great success, says Abraham Bogar-
dus, in THE Lost Art of the Daguer-
reotype," in Century.
There were several claimants for
making the first portrait by the
claim, and Mr.. Joseph Dixon, by let
tiers and other evidence, claimed that
the first picture was his, for which, it
was said, Mrs. Dixon sat with pow
dered face ID full sunshine Is min
utes.
In March, 1910, Messrs waIcott and
Johnson opened a gallery in New
York, and, announcing their readiness
to execute portraits from life, solicited
patronage. This was the first
daguerreotype gallery in the world.
Other places were soon opened. The
daguerreotype, although considered de-
sirable as curiosity, was not popular,
on account of the length of time re-
quired for a sitting, which varied ac-
cording to the time of dag and the
strength of the light. 1t vas seldom
attempted on a cloudy day. The Sit
ter must have full command Of his ex-
preston and remain perfectly still for
from one to three minutes to be sue
cessful in getting a likeness distinct
enough to be recognized
The daguerreotype was made on a
pure metallic silver surface. After be-
ing perfectly cleaned, and made sensi-
tive with a rough buff. 1t was coated
in a darkened room with the vapor of
iodine, then placed in the camera. and
exposed before the sitter through the
lens It was still kept from the light,
and placed over the fumes of hot mer-
curry, where the image developed.
