FISH CUT IN TWO
LIVES HOURS
Strange Experiments of Russian
Psychologist as to the
Nature of Death.

A curious series of experiments on
the persistence of life in fishes has
been conducted by Prof. Konliabko
! Psychologist at Tomsk, from which he
deduces that even decapitation does
not produce instantaneous death of the
! tissues, but merely cessation of func-
| tioning for lack of nutrition and oxy-
gen 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 contractions 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 ready nutritive
solution strongly charged with oxygen
and using this he started artificial cir
culation 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
ClOSSus LII d "OEO l16 4uAGIAOiIS VI OH
the organs seemed to be completely
restored. The 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 char
acteristics of life: Real death grad
ually took possession of the organ
ism. The cells became diseased or old.
The power of the heart. however, was
something marvellous. Tt retained its
power to beat, Prof. Konliabko as
serts, 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 organized
ones in the surface of the brain losing
power long before the deeper seated
ones.
The professor hopes to formulate
from his observations important theo-
ries as to the essential nature of life
and the causes of death. He thinks
they may help physicians 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 main |
tanned long enough for the purpose.

FRENCH ARCTIC
EXPLORERS
Bernard Expedition Not After a
Record, But Scientific and
Economic Facts.

| An Arctic expedition which has not
| lively equipped, and will soon be ready
| to sail from one of the ports in the
north of France. 1t is the expedition
| of the French Oceanographic Society
! Charles Bernard. The expedition viii
| sail in the ketch Jacques Cartier, the
! gift of woman, Nine. G. Thomson,
/ and the party will consist of twenty
men.
Charles Roux, president of the coun-
Gil of administration of the Compagnie
Generate TransatIantique, is directing
the enterprise, which was projected at
the recent exhibition at Marseilles.
There was section of oceanography
at the exhibition which brought a
great many scientists and ,navigators
interested in the study together, and
the deficiencies of information as to
the idea of an oceanographic polar ex-
petition was evolved.
The Bernard expedition is not to try
for any record in the way of high 1ati-
tude The program is to study the
coast and waters in the neighborhood
of Nova Zembla and the Kara Sea.
Indications of mineral wealth will be
sought on the islands and opportuni-
ties for the extension of French fish,
cries in northern waters. These will be
the industrial aims: the scientific ones
will cover the whole field of polar re-
search.
The Jasques Cartier is solid vessel
with a steel prov and a sheath of
heart of oak along the water, or rath-
err, the ice line. She is specially brac-
ed within to resist nipping by the ice
pack. She is schooner rugged. The
quarters for the men are spacious and
the store rooms ample for several
years supplies. There are besides.
Photographic work rooms, laboratory
and a library. There is apparatus on
board for surveying and for deep sea
sounding and an elaborate fishing out
fit The small boats include two steam
launches.
Besides Capt. Bernard there is to be
whaling captain with long Arctic
experience and two watch officers, a
doctor, a naturalist, hunter of fur
giving animals expert fishermen and |
a crew picked from men of experience
in northern waters. Capt Bernard, the |
doctor and the officers viii conduct all
the scientific observations and keep
the records of the voyage.
The government has engaged to Sc
cure from the chambers an appropr1- /
alton to pay the running expenses or |
the expedition, and as soon as that IS |
secured it will be ready to start, prob |
ably about the end of March. This
time would bring them to their desti- |
nation at the most favorable season |
The captain expects to be away at !
least two and perhaps three years.

AUTOMOBILE HACK
BUSINESS GROWING

The automobile hack business in
augurated in Honolulu short time
ago by Frank Lillis appears to have
come to stay. Lillis has found bust
ness SO prosperous that already it has
been found necessary to put another
machine on his stand to handle the
orders coming in, while two more ma
chimes have been ordered by cable and
will be here to run in the hack BUSH
ness within the next couple of months.
Chauffeur Lillis has shifted his head
quarters from his old hack stand and
moved to a new stand, for automobiles
only, on the Eva corner of Union and
Hotel.
The two machines now in the hack
business are Franklins, but the order
for the two additional machines speci-
fled Cadillacs.

The Herald Believes in Fair Play
Grand Forks Herald: Referring to
the story which has been published
concerning the former wife of Secre-
tary of State Blaisdell and her al
legged arrangement for remarriage in
another city, one of the state papers
speaks of the scandal of our secre-
tary Of state" A reference of this
character is exceedingly to be regret
ted, as it tends to place Mr.. Blaisdell
in false position among those who
are not conversant with the facts in
the case. The situation is the more
unfortunate in that Mr.. Blaisdell can

subject in order to set himself right.
Without going into a history of the
case, the Herald will say that Mr..
Blaisdell secured divorce a year or
more ago. and that both on the show
ing made, in the case and in the opin-
ion of people well acquainted with all
the circumstances there was nothing
in the whole situation which reflect
ed the slightest discredit on him and
that for what had occurred up to that
time and for anything that may have
occurred since he was not in any way
responsible.

PITFALLS OF ENGLISH.
Our PuzzIins Language and It's Words
of More Than One MEANING.

Our PuzzIing Language and It's Words
of More Than One Meaning.
OF all modern languages English is
undoubtedly the most difficult to ac-
quire. In addition to the ordinary
pitfalls Of forms and iClioms> that en-
trap the foreigner struggling for mas
terry of strange tongue, there is one
SO peculiar to ours that nothing even
remotely similar presents itself in any
other language, whether ancient or
modern.
This is the paradoxical word, the
word which has two meanings diamet-
really opposed to each other It is
not enough that, with all the wealth
of words borrowed from half score
Of other languages, we must impose a
double and often multiple burden on
some poor little monosyllabic word
like "get," for instance, whose mean
ings are legion. Our language must
needs confound the student at the
gates with the paradox. To give a
few examples:
The word .let'' means to allow
or permit" and likewise to ''pre.
vent" hinder" or refuse, ," meanings
Numerically opposite. 81 will let you
do IT. in the former sense is hardly
more common in use than the phrase
without let or hindrance," and
Shakespeare has 1t, by heaven, I'll
make a ghost of him that let's (pre.
vents) me!'
"Cleave" means to split asunder as
well as to adhere" or "bindp closely
Scott makes Marmion threaten to
"cleave the Douglas head" while
holy writ enjeins upon the husband to
'cleave unto his wife,"
Another example is .lurid," which
means both a 'tdull red' and also q
pale green" hue, tints that are exact
y opposed in the scale Of color. While
the former is the more common mean
ing, the. latter Is more scholarly cor
rect, as the word Is derived through
the Latin from the Greek adjective
meaning "greenish hued."

YEAST is a PLANT.

But Il Can BE Seen 40 Such Only
With tho Microscope.
Yeast is small plant which can be
seen only with the aid Of the micro
scope, says Good Health. There are
two varieties. wild and cultivated, for
these tiny plants can be improved
through cultivation, as larger plants
can be.
Firms which make yeast for the
market must grow these plants quite
as carefully as the florist grows his
flowers. Care must be taken that they
do not become mixed with other varie-
ties, therefore destroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care
fully disinfected, and II 1t Is found
that the yeast becomes contaminated
In one building the culture is started
anew and the other building previously
disinfected before moving Into 1t.
This plant, like bacteria, requires
warmth, moisture and food. The mate
fials out Of which the bread is made
should always be warmed, and the
dough should always be kept in a
warm place. The temperature most
favorable is about that of the body, a
little less than 100 degrees.
There is always considerable .mpis-
ture In bread and plenty Of food for
the plant. The food which it requires
IL sugar. This it obtains from the
wheat, there being some sugar in the
-four, and more sugar is also formed
from the starch.
As the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break 1t down into two sub
stances. alcohol and gas known as
carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas.
AS the gas Is formed 1t Is held by the
gluten, which is a very elastic sub
stance. When the bread is put into the
oven the heat expands the tiny bub-
bles Of gas, causing the bread to rise
or to become much lighter. The alco-
hol formed, being a volatile product.
passes OF into the baking.
