HEART ACTION is REVIVED.
Kept Up FOR Three Hours Artihcially
by German Doctors After Sub
jeot Is Behsadsd

Berlin.-The German medical world
is excitedly talking of some experiments
just made by Drs. Deneke and Adamw
Of Hamburg. A murderess was guillo-
tined at 500 a. m. Her blood TO the ex-
tent Of Two quarts was collected and at
once defbrinated. At S:l2 her chest was
cut open and weak contractions and
twitchings Of the heart were noticeable;
at SIS the heart was removed from the
body and passed through weak solu-
ton Of muriatic acid to clear 1t Of all
duids and render the organ absolutely
dead and neryeless.
It was then treated with what is
known to physicians as the Lockesche
solution and Immediately well-regulat-
ed movements began to be peroeptible.
At 1892 the heart was supplied with the
defbrinated blood mixed with another
solution and slightly heated; imme-
diately II began quite extraordinarily
powerful beats and two hours after the
woman was beheaded the heart was
vibrating in lively If weak fashion.
But, little by little, Its contractions be-
came weaker and at IL: "a 1t was incap-
able Of further action. For three hours,
therefore, action had been kept up.
II the heart, say Deneke and Adamw
why not the brain? And If the brain can
be influenced after death, then speech
may be produced. All is possible.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
GUANo FROM SALT LAKE.
Thousands Of Tons Of the Fertilizer
in Sight on the American
Dead Sea.

Salt Lake City.-It is not generally
known that the Great Salt lake incloses
couple of guano islands. 1t is not
known that thousands of pelicans, gulls
and sand cranes make these isolated
places their homes, nor that Salt Lake
business men are figuring on making
these guano beds sources Of considerable
wealth. But 1t is nevertheless true.
Thomas G. Wallace, Of Riverside, who
is one Of the best-known fertilizer men
In the country, came here with the Los
Angeles party and has returned from an
inspection Of Gunnison and Hat islands.
These are reached by launch and are 45
and 81 miles, respectively, from the
beach at Saltair.
He was accompanied by John e. Cox,
who represented Thomas r. Cutler and
others who own the islands, and by
Charles Kisler, who had charge of the
launch. Two days were spent in the
trip and inspection, and the result is
that the guano will soon be placed upon
the market. It is said there are from
100000 to 100000 tons in sight.
AS a rule the pelicans remain on one
island and the gulls on another, but re-
Gently the pelicans have invaded the
home of the gulls and have appropriated
quite section Of it and are raising their
young there.
:. The birds seem to feed on the small
shrimps in the water thereabout, and on
fishes which they catch in the streams
which drain into the lake. The young
pelican is a very large and awkward
bird and may be caught without diff

turned to his section in the sleeping car
just behind. He had scarcely seated
himself when the train ran into the

the ties. Every soul In the combination
car, including Former Congressman
Bennett, with whom Mr.. Kennedy had
been talking less than three minutes be-
fore, was killed.
