Brings Dead to Life.


Prof. Robert Poe, of Norfolk

Prof Poe says he has already

working of the respirator is best
explained when it is stated that the
principal is to pump oxygen into
the lungs of an apparently dead
person and pump out the oarbonic
gas.
Numbers of experiments were
made on animals apparently with.

declared the vital spark was re.

UMWR!TTEM LAW.
@Ths Code" as 1t is Understood In the
Southern States.


They call it "the CODE in the
southern states, and to this day the
code often takes precedence of stat
ute law among men of southern
birth.
The code is this: If a man insults
you by publicly calling you liar or
in any other fashion you do not
knock him down on the spot, as you
would in some states, but you warn
the man that you will shoot him on
sight. The warning must be in the
presence of witnesses or in writing.
Then you go home and get your pis-
tol, and the other man presumably
does the same thing. After that
wherever you and your adversary
meet the one who sees the other
first opens fire, or if the recognition
is simultaneous it is merely a ques-
ton of which can pull his pistol
quickest.
Usually one is killed or badly in
jured. But if the warning has been
given in due form it is 10 to 1 that
the jury will not convict the killer.
The verdict is self defense" OF at
most 'manslaughter." There is
hardly case on record of murder
er being hung for his share in a
duel of this kind, however one
sided. lt-a3 aJl
If the cause of the quarrel has
anything to do with an insult offer
ed to lady of the challenger's fam
lily the latter is far safer than if he
had killed a dog. In most cases he
walks out of court amid the cheers
of the audience.
There was a ghastly tragedy at
Oak Grove, Va. A man named
Marx quarreled with a neighbor
over an alleged insult to a young
lady. In the ensuing affray Marx
killed Taylor and two of his friends
and seriously wounded a fourth.
The coroner's jury decided that
Marx had acted in self defense and
exonerated him.
To some ears this code of the
southern states sounds wicked and
criminal to degree. Yet the
southern code of honor is certainly
no worse than that prevailing in
the German and Austrian armies.
If a German or Austrian officer
quarrels with another of his own
rank duel must take place atonce.
The insulted man is in coventry
till blood is shed. But if the insult
is from one so much higher in rank
that the other cannot challenge, the
latter is doomed to commit suicide.
The late Archduke Otto, the Aus
trian emperor's nephew, got tipsy
one night and brought a crew of
boon companions to the doors of
his wife's suit. A young lieutenant
on duty drew his sword and swore
he would run the first man through
who touched the door handle. Otto
struck the boy in the face and then
retreated. The lieutenant could
not challenge one of royal blood.
He prepared to commit suicide.
Most happily the story came to the
emperoTs ears. He telegraphed the
lieutenant and Otto to attend at
once at the Hofburg.
Then he rated Otto fercely and
ended by saying: "Your royal rank
precludes Lieutenant from
challenging you. But no restric-
tion binds me-" With that he
stepped up to the archduke and
struck him heavy blow on the
cheek with his open hand. "Now
CO." he bade him. Then he turned
to the lieutenant and embraced
him. "You will receive your COM
mission as captain tonight" he said,
"and with it your exchange to an
other station" = Chicago Record
