FISH CUT IN TWO LIVES LONG
Experiments of Physiological as to
Nature of Death.

From the New York Sun.
A curious series of experiments on the
persistence of life in fishes has been con-
Quoted by Prof. Konliabko. physiologist
at Tomsk, from which he deduces that
even decapitation does not produce in
Simultaneous death Of the tissue, but mere
Iy cessation of functioning for lack. of
nutrition and oxygen supply conveyed
through the blood.
His most conclusive experiment was
performed by cutting fish in two just
below the heart. The two parts Of the
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 up
per section was far from dead.
The professor had ready 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 and the gills to
vibrate; the muscles became active and
the mouth opened and closed. In a word,
the functions of all the organs seemed to
be completely restored. The fish. had. not
been dead at all, but had merely been
suffering from extreme anaemia.
This stimulation was maintained for
q,
diminishing degree. all the characters
tics of life. Real death gradually took
possession of the organism. Thescells be-
came diseased or. old. The power of the
heart. however. was marvellous. 1t re-
tanned it's power to beat. Prof. Konliab-
ko asserts. sometimes for an entire day
after all sensitiveness had disappeared
from the nervous centers. These died
themselves after different periods of re-
sistance. 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 theories as to
the essential nature of life and the causes
Of death. He thinks they may help ply
sicians 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 condition of disease which can
be eradicated If life can be maintained
long enough for the purpose.

SECRETARY ROOT REGRETS
he Will Not Be Able to Attend Fleet
Festivities at Frisco.

Secretary Root today said he regretted
that he would be unable to accept an in
vitation extended by the San Francisco
general committee to be in that city on
the OCCASION of festivities incidental to the
arrival of the battleship fleet there. The
Secretary said he appreciated the invi-
tation very much. but the fact that Con-
gress would be in session at the time,
coupled with the work before the State
Department. would make it impractcable
for him to leave the city at that time.

Municipal Ownership Failure.

In London local affairs it is interesting
to note that the white elephant of the
county councl-its fleet of steamboats,
to be abandoned. The steamboat policy
of the council was based upon the assump-
ton that I-ondoners have an abiding love
for cruising on the metropolitan stretches
of the Thames. but results have shown
that. except for pleasure purposes and in
fine weather the travelling public has a
marked preference for dry land. The
three years over which the steamboat eX-
pertinent has extended have seen piled up
a total net deficiency of 81 5000. but this
includes $4,000 for overhaul work for 1908.
AS regards the use of the service for bust
less purposes. there has been no develop
ment whatever. The Thames is not like
the Seine, and Londoners are not like the

Another Little Tribal Trouble.

England has an Indian frontier expedi-
ton again on her hands which may de-
velop, as SO many of these affairs have
done, into quite war. The Afridi coun-
try, where the turbulent Kakka Khel tribe
dwells, is among the, most difficult in the
world. and has been aptly described as a
land of saws with teeth uppermost. 1t
needs troops with considerable experience
IN hill fighting to carry out operations
with any hope of real success. and for this
reason Gen. Sir James Willcocks will
probably have under his command a con-
siderable proportion of Ghoorkas. among
the finest hill fighters in the world. Ow-
ing to the utter absence of anything ap
preaching a road in the country, wheeled
transport Is out of the question. and the
whole of the supplies of the expedition
will therefore have to be conveyed on
mules, as was the case in the 1897 eXpedi-
ton For this reason the operations may
extend over a longer period than is at
present supposed. especially since the col
ulRn will perforce be without anything in
the nature of artillery beyond few small
mountain guns that can be carried on
pack animals. The Kakka khel tribe is
much diminished in numbers, and now
probably does not represent more than
1900 men at the outside. AN these are
very we'll armed. however. with weapons
carefully smuggied through India during
the past few years, and they are reported
to possess ample supplies of ammunition.

Honor for Florence Nightingale.
A notable person whose head bears the
sign of honorable age is Miss Florence
Nightingale, the "angel of the Crimean
war" who organized the hospital depart
ment and robbed the battlefield of much
of it's horror. Indeed, the influence she
then exerted has been felt by every army
in the world. The freedom of the city is
to be presented to her. but II will proba-
bly, have to be taken in state to her
house at 10 South street, Park Lane. 1t
will be quite impossible for Miss Night
ingale to leave her room for this or any
other purpose She ia in her eighty-eignth
year. very weak and almost blind. She
can hardly write her name. Recently the
kaiser sent her beautifully worded let
ter and even this important communica-
ton had TO be answered by her compan-
ion. Another difficulty Is her horror of
publicity. Letters from irrepressible au-
tograph hunters and hero worshipers
have TO be kept carefully from her. She
has grown to dread the avalanche of let
tiers which pours in upon her on her
birthday 81 hope they will forget about
me this time"-such is her pathetic wish
as each anniversary draws near. Miss
Nightingale has not left her house for
over twelve years. 1t is lovely old
