strange Experiments Of a Russian Physl-
OlOgist as to the Nature Of Death.

A curious series of experiments on the
persistence of life in fishes has beer con-
Quoted by Prof. Konliabko, Psychologist
at TomslS. from which he deduces that
even decapitation Goes not produce in
Simultaneous death Of the tissues, but merely
cessation Of fu~nctioning for lack of nutrition
and oxygen supply conveyed through the
blood.
His most conclusive experiment was
performed by cutting n fish in two just be-
low the heart. The two parts of the body

in both parts n attempts TO breathe
by the upper n e Then they became

The professor had ready a nutritive
solution strongly charged with oxygen,
and using this he started artificial circula-
ton in the upper section Of the fish. The
heart began to beat and the gills TO vibrate;
the muscles became active and the mouth
opened and closed. In a word. the funo-
tiOns OF all the organs seemed TO be COM
pletely restored. The fish had not been
dead at all, but had merely been suffering
from extreme ansemia-
This stimulation was maintained for

sometimes for an entire day after all

nervous centres. These died themselves
after different periods OF resistance, the
more highly organized ones in the surface
Of the brain losing power long before tho
deeper seated ones.
The professor hopes 70 formulate from
bis observations important theories as 20
the essential nature of life and the CAUSES
Of death. He thinks they may help physi-
clans to find means OF preventing death In
cases where the general tissues OF the body
have not lost vitality and where the danger
arises from injury or organic lesion or a
condition Of disease which can be erndicated
II life can be maintained long enough for the

some plaster cast Of the Horses OF dom

handsome and in good tasse with the rest
Of the interior. You wore a little puzzled

Another room in that same play which
attracted a good deal of attention was the

Through a window in the back you
got a glimpse Of an Italian landscape with a
profusion of lex trees. The furnishing
OF the apartment was Italian Gothic OF the
fourteenth century. There was a marriage

hangings and at it's feet a carved seat to

MIR. Belasco is perhaps the only stage
manager who is sure of getting applause
for his scenery. His stars may fail to
reach the expectations of the public. the
play that he has adopted, fathered and
pruned to taste may d%isappoint when il
comes to the crucial test of public approval,
but his scenery never.
This truth is borne out by The Rose
Of the Rancho There probably never
was a play which depended so absolutely
on its setting for its success, and the longest,

Ono of them who speaks Italian well
wondered what use she could make OF that

She had a friend who had established a

had been a success, but the women who
founded it could never get hold OF a secre-

times a week to the school and spends the
greater part OF a day there, apparently
happier than she ever was. To do 1uch
work as that requires more than ordinary

There wasn't an article in the room that

of having its ultimate End unexpected
distinction there. There WIS Il baby's

of thu child's clothes from the hamper and
hold them up in view. We spent $40 on
thGt imitation child's outfit.
There were three dear little gowns. two
baby jackets of the sheerest flannel. the
blankets and covers were OF the softe st.
daintiest stuPfs. and for the dolls head we got
Z real baby's wig. As the scene was finally
st the audience only saw the back Of the
crib; the child was not in view at all. and
the clothes might have cost much less
with just as good effect.
"All the experience we have had in this
direction tends to prove to US conciusively
that the decorator. in order to make a

You would think that any actress would

TO know that many of them do. IL seems
to be a case Of hit or miss. They probably

There is a great difference in the attitude

general results instead of fine details.

RARE AMERICANA SOLD.
Early Pamphlets Printed In THIS Country
Disposed Of at Auction.

LONDON. Dec. l3.-Some unusually rare
an. interesting pieces of Americana have
recently been sold in London.
A copy OF 4EncOuragements for Such as
Shall Have Intention to Bee Undertaken
in the New Plantation Of Cape Briton. Now
New Galloway. in America" printed In
Edinburgh by John Wreittoun, 1926. fetched
500. This scarce little anonymous
pamphlet Of seventeen pages was dedicated
to Sir william Alexander. Earl Of Stirling,
the poet and statesman who in 1921 OBJ
tanned @the grant Of Nova Scotia and (prac-
tically) of Canada"
The euthor OF the pamphlet was Sir
Robert Gordon. who was created Premier
Baronet OF Nova Scotia in 1924. and assisted
in the plantation OF the colony. There
ia only one other record OF a cOpy sold
in London. This ives at the A~uchinloch
sale in 1893 and it brought $3.50.
T. Budd's Good Order Established in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in America"
was sold for s5OS. This il generally recoV-
nized as the first bOok printed in America
by William Bradford, who issued il al
Philadelphia in 1895. Bradford learned his
trade under Andrew Sowles, whose daughter
Elizabeth ne married, and he accompanied
Penn on his first voyage to Pennsylvania.
A small quartO volume, "A PLANE Path
way to Plantations printed in 1924. which
is written in the form Of a dialogue between
-Respire. a Farmer" and "Enrubie, a Mer-
chant" was sold for $3.50. It's rarity may be
judged from the fact that there is no copy
In the British Museum, While only one, an
imperfect copy in the Barlow collection.
has appeared for sale in recent years.
The sum OF s2S5 was given for Daniel
HOrsmanden's "A Journal Of the proceed
ings in the Detection Of the Conspiracy
formed -. for the Burning Of New
York, in America. and Numbering the In
habitants.' printed in l7i4. No copy of
this work appears to have been sold In
London-in recent years, but at the Barlow
sale in America in 1890 one fetched $50.
-Pietas ct Gratulatio Collegii Can ia

Of poems on the death OF George ii. and
the accession OF George Ill. was sold for
