FISH CUT IN TWO LIVES HOURS.
St ange Experiments of a Russian PhysIoIoalst as to Nature of Death.

From the Washington Post.
 A curious series of experiments on the persistence of life in fishes has been con- ducted by Professor Konliabko, physiolo- gist at Tomsk, from which he deduces that even decapitation does not produce instantaneous death of the tissues, but merely cessation of functioning for lack of nutrition and oxygen supply conveyed through the blood
 His most conclusive experiment was performed by cutting a fish in two just below the heart, The two parts of the body showed signs of life for two or three minutes, in the form of muscular con- fractions in both parts and attempts to breathe by the upper one. Then they became motionless, but even yet the upper section was far from dead.
 The professor had reauy a nutritive solution strongly charged with oxygen. and using this he started artificial circu- lation in the upper section of the fish. The heart began to beat the gills to vibrate; the muscles became active aud the mouth opened and closed In word, the functions of all the organs seemed to be completely restored. rhe fish had not been dead at all, but had merely been suffering from extreme anemia.
 This stimulation was maintained for several hours, the fish exhibiting, but in a diminishing degree, all the character istics of life. Real death gradually took possession of the organism. The cells be- came diseased or old. The power of the heart, however, was something marvel ous. It retained it's power to beat, Pro- lessor Konliabko asserts, sometimes for an entire day after all sensitiveness had disappeared from the nervous center. These died themselves after different periods of resistance, the more highly or ganiZed ones in the surface of the brain losing power long before the deeper seated ones.
 The professor hopes to formulate from his observations important theories as to 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 eradicated if life can be maintained long enough for the purpose.

ize that in far corners of the world lives in the pursuit of those very eggs or others more rare. So writes Harry H. Iunn in the Technical World Magazine for February.
 The tangled jungles of equatorial Afri- ca know these men: the snowy steppes of northern Asia have felt the pressure of their tireless feet; they trace new trails across the Saharas of the globe and on the spreading Pampas of the New Worlds southern continent, while the distant islands of the sea are secured for new specimens in bird skins and birds eggs.
 Swinging on slender threads of rope from dizzy cliffs that lean above tho flashing waters of the rough North At lantic, they glean rare sea birds eggs from inches in the rocky wall which these winged wanderers call home; from the tops of sky-searching pines they take eagles eggs, while the brave parent birds hurl themselves in vain fury against their daring enemies. From caves far up in the face of steep cliffs in the western Sierra they gather the solitary egg of the California vulture, the largest bird that flies, and in the jungles of the trop- ics they risk their lives amid levers and poisonous reptiles and vindictive natives in search of rare humming birds and other gorgeous -feathered dwellers in the warmer lands
 The writer tells some very interesting stories of birds eggs and g-hunters. including one of the $1600 eggs which IS the hearts desire of collections. Excel lent photographs illustrate the articie'

Ruininq a State.

The ruin of state or the destruction or world industry on account or thelr very ma pniture seem remote. So writes George C. Calhoun in the Technical World maga- zine for February. The average person can hardly conceive of either as possible in this age of scientific and commercial advance But today, in the United states of America, both are not only possible put even imminent. Unless the forests or Florida can be preserved from the de- struction which threatens them rev years will see the state an arid waste and the great naval stores industry a thing of the past -

He heard miL ty shout.
The bases were ell nicely filed,
And not n man was out.
Jim gave the plate sounding whaek
And caught tho pitchers eye.
The pitcher turned all sorts OF shapes,
Then let the spit ball fly.
Jim swung the bat with giant force
And hit the ball just right.
You should have seen II split the air
And disappear from sight.
Then Jimmie started for his run
He flew Just like a bird
But when he tumbled out of bed
He hadn't got to third.
