DOCTOR RETURNS PATIENT ID LIFE

once placed a stethescope over the mans heart. In few seconds he strengthened up and said:
 "He's dead"
 That's my belief" said the other doctor, and then the physician, still clinging to hope, decided upon an in- jection of strychnine. Almost imme- diately after the injection slight ex- halation was observed.
 Its only the air leaving the lungs after death" said Dr. Sears, but we'd better hurry him to the air lock"
 Marltl was placed on n stretcher, but his frame was so big it was found im2 possible to carry him through the mar row hall into the street so he was passed out through q window. It took half a dozen men to do the work. The ambulance was hurried to the tunnel, and when Marltllhad been taken into the lock both doctors worked over him. Additional injections were given, but for more than fifteen minutes there was no sign of life.
 Still the physicians persevered, and at length another exhalation was de- tected. "There couldn't be a second one and after such q trlp?" asked pr. Sears in wonderment
 q don't think so," replied the tunnel physician, anG then. holding: hls fingers on the mans pulse, he cried: He's alive! His hearts beating"
 First there were infrequent little gasps, and slowly the blue color began to go from the mans body. Gradual ly the breath came more evenly and stronger until with a great sigh his breast rose and fell slightly, but regu- larly. Dr. Sears passed through the air locks, and when he had recovered from the effects of the prolonged pres sure he insisted upon returning again to examine the patient. He was there ubout q minute and had the satisfac- ton of seeing MaritI open his eyes.
 >MarId was able to sit up In bed within three hours and shortly after ward was chaflng at his detenticn in the hospital.

 the Hair of the Dog That Bit Him.
 A Most Remarkable Case.
 Twice held to be dead by two physi- cians and without the faintest percep- tible futter of the heart or sign of breath, Andre Maritl, thirty-hye years old, a sand hog" of 329 East Twenty ninth street, New York, was Drought back to life" by being placed under heavy air pressure in one of the air locks of the Pennsylvania tunnel at Thirty-thlrd street and East river re- gently, The man had turned a pale blue from head to foot
 Marltl is a Pole, and his relatives and many of his fellow countrymen were overcome by awe at his recovery. They refused to accept the scientific explanation of the doctors, and at the tunnel mouth they fell to their knees in prayer and songs of thankfulness. There was another unusual feature to the case, in that Dr. Sears almost fell a victim to the "bends." In his absorption over Mariti he did not think of the danger to himself until the great pressure caused the telltale singing in his ears and the rush of blood from his nose. Sears was at tended by the doctor attached to the tunnel hospital.
 To the mans impatience was due his terrible experience. He neglected to stop the full time ordered by the tun- nel physician in the varying air pres sures, but passed almost without de- lay from the heaviest pressure to the free air. He should have given at least half an hour to three locks of diminishing pressure, but he hurried away to his home. His brother John followed an hour afterward and found him collapsed on the floor.
 Without an instants delay John started at top speed back to the tun- nel and took the physician there back to the house. The two men lifted Ma riu to a bed, and the doctor after Q quick examination exclaimed. "Why, this mans dead"
 In the hope there might be a spark of life, however, the doctor telephoned to Bellevue hospital for an ambulance to take Marlu back to the air lock. Tea minutes afterward pr. Sears ar rived with an ambulance, and he at

TEACHERS WARNED.
Those Taking Up Government Land
Must Fulfill All Requirements
of the Law.

Washington, July 13.-The interior
department is receiving flood of in
Quiries regarding the effect Of re-
cent decision Of the department rela-
tive to the rights Of school teachers
in the matter of taking up public
lands under the homestead law. The
decision was rendered in contest
made against the entry of a woman
teacher employed in Minnesota and
while it was shown that she had
lived on the land only during her va
actions, covering about fourteen weeks
for each of the four years, she had
held it, the department failed to sus-
tain the contestant. This holding has
been construed throughout the public
land states as an equivalent to a dec
laration that teachers may be permit
ted to make homestead entries and
TO make final proof without comply
ing with the requirements m.de Of
other applicants, and the large num-
Der of letters received On the question
promises numerous entries under that
construction.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Woodruff and Acting Commissioner
bennett of the general land office,
Friday united in statement that the
decision has received construction
which was not contemplated by the
department.
They call attention to the fact that
the decision did not apply to a com
mutation case, but TO a case In which
the applicant had held the land for
four or five years required by law.
They point cut that the decision was
not final and that it dealt with the
rights of the contestant rather than
those Of the contested, merely hold
ing that The Improvements were ade-
quate. but not attempting to say
whether title will be granted at the
End of five years if the proof shows
only IL weeks occupancy for each
year. They therefore warn teachers
that disappointment is liable to be
the fate OF those who may attempt to
secure land by living on it only dur
ing vacation time, and especially those
who attempt to secure it under such
plan without the Communication feat
ure added.
