LIFE FROM DEATH.
Dead Animals Revived by Methods to
Be Used on Human Beings.

From the New York Medical Journal.
DR.. Grille presented short paper on this
subject IN which he gave a summary of
experimental data. When asphyXia caused
failure of the heart and respiration vigor-
Gus artificial respiration usually restored
their function when administered within a
few seconds. 1t was effective in an inverse
ratio to the time that had elapsed; it was
rarely effective after forty seconds. By the
addition of saline infusion larger proper
ton of animals could be resuscitated after
the lapse of a little longer time. Rhythmic
pressure upon the heart, either through the
thorax by pressure upon the ribs over the
heart or direct pressure within the thorax,
was also an aid.
The effect of the traumatism to the heart
by the direct method partially counterbal-
anced the benefit from this measure. Nj
troglycerin, alcohol and digitalis were use
less: apidly alternating the posture. head
up, then head down. was not effective Sus
pending the animal head down and making
rhythmicaf pressure upon the heart was
an effective method. This method gave the
brain the advantage of gravity: it provided
a moderate artificial circulation as well as
respiration. It could be promptly applied.
The addition of saline infusion increased
the effectiveness of the method. Animals
apparently dead for periods up to fifteen
minutes We're resuscitated by the combined
effect of artificial respiration, rhythmic
pressure upon the heart and the infusion
of adrenalin- AdrenaIin, hen injected di-
rectly into the chamber or into the wall of
the heart, caused fbrfllar contractfons
after which the heart could not be resus-
citated. After final cessation of the heart
by employing manual compression of the
heart and tnfusing adrenalin, the blood
pressures could be raised even higher than
the normal Respiration in some instances
was partially restored
Experiments in which saline Infusion was
substituted for adrenafin, and which were
unsuccessful. were promptly successful on
adding adrenalfn. In patient with crushed
skull, whose heart had ceased beating for
nine minutes, resuscitation of the heart for
thirty-one minutes by this method was
made. During the operat ton for the eleva-
ton of the depressed bone the patient
moved his head.
Another patient, apparently dead from a
severe crushing of the base of the skull.
was partially resuscitated twenty four min
utes after the apparent death. The proofs
of the apparent death were absence of res
piration, absence of heart sound on stetho-
scopic auscultation. and. as a final proof

dences of vital action continued for thirty

SCENE IN THE SENATE.
Sorrow and Deepest Sympathy at the

Tie scene in the United States Senate this
afternoon was of an unusual character I'M

a truce between parties and factions was
declared while the shadows We're thicAening

Ordinarily this would have been a field

day had been set for an agreement in
executive session upon the day for the vote
on the Panama treaty. This would have
prectpitated another outbu2 st OF partisan
recrimiration. one of those biting debates
Sd often possible in the Senate, where there
are past grand masters in the art of poiiti-
cal determination. Instead. the agreement
was reached in an executive session of
less than five minutes duration and the
d )ors were opened.
The Senate refrained from taking up any
thing V hich would cause debate No one
had the heart to talk. Only unobjectionable
bills OF the calendar were considered and
passed Senators who had anything TO say
about the bills spoke In low tones. and the
clerks and the presiding officer modulated
their voices.

RELIEF OF JACKSON BONEY.
Counsel Asked Regarding
Payment From Contingent Fund.

The corpora ton counsel has been asked
for an opinion as to whether or not the
Commissioners have authority to pay out
of the fund for contingent and miseella-
neous expenses of the District, the sum
of STAT for the immediate relief of Jack
son Boney formerly laborer in the sewer
department, who was injured October u
last by an explosion of gas in a sewer on
street between % and Sd streets south

sentative of the engineer department of the
District Boney'S injuries CONSIST or the

possibly of both, the partial destruction
of both ears followed by lis genera physl-
cal eInacia tion.t Itt4s stated that ever
since the accident Berey has been under
treatment at the Washington Asylum Hos
pitaI
The story of the accident, as related in
the report by Clerk Bradshaw of the en-
g:neer department.. is TO the effect that on
the day in question Boney was ordered by
the foreman, john J. Cond'Jn TO go INTO
the N street sewer with a lighted lantern
According to witnesses Boney obeyed the
order under protest. and as result,
moment after the laborer had Lowered HIM

the injuries previously mentioned.
Boney it is stated, has been an eer1ploye
of the sewer department for about fou teen
years, and had worked under Condor
large share of that tine. The engineer
department states that evidently the ore
mans action In ordering man to go into
the sewer with a lighted lantern was due
to forgetfuiness of the conditions with
which he was dealing. ioi

Lessons From the Great Disaster was
the subject of the sermon preached yester-
day at the Wilson Memorial NJ E. Church
by the pastor, Rev. A. Fl. Thompson. He
opened with g1aphic account of the start
ing and progress of the fire.
He went on to say, in part:
Had a like fire occurred in Washington
all that part of the city bounded by X

on the west, 5th street on the east and
Pennsylvania avenue on the south would
have been destroyed; and in addition all
south of the pension office up to ard in

away. In the presence of such calamity
we stand amazed and stupefied
only once before in our national history
has greater calamity visited us What is
its meaning Why was II permitted? We
do not know We do not presume to at
tempt to tell. The ways Of Providence are
inscrutahle. and we cannot fathom them.
But we can bow reverentiy i'm the presence
of such disaster and learn from it valua-
bic lessons.
Among these are lessons to Baltimore
and other cities 1t should teach Baltimore
to bury the wires to widen and straighten
the streets, to exclude explosives from the
business section and to abolish the sky
scraper. The wisdom of these changes will
appear TO any one acquainted with the con-
GitionS that existed before and during the
great fire.
Secondly Washington might we'll be ad-
mouished to hold fast to its present bu Id

water had failed in Baltimore, what would
have happened to the ty? Would our sup
ply stand a similar strain? There is no
question as to the efficiency of our fire de-
partment but is it adequate? In the view
of The almost priceless interests we are
set TO guard is our d apartment what it
