Workers Paw Death Toll,

Between $4,000 and 80, 900 deaths
and 1000. 900 injured is the accident
record in the United States during
the last year among workingmen, &C
cording to a bulletin Of accidents is
sued December IA by the bureau OF
labor. Of those employed in factories
and workshops, 1t is stated that prob.
ably the most exposed class are the
workers in iron and steel. Fatal &C.
cidents among electricians and cleo
trio linemen and coal miners are de.
clared to be excessive, while railway
trainmen were killed in the proportion
of 7.46 deaths per 1000 workmen.
The bulletin declares that it should
not be impossible to avert at least
one-third and perhaps one-half of the
accidents by intelligent and rational
methods Of the factory inspection, leg.

LIVE AFTER DEATH
VITAL ORGANS SLOW TO CEASE
FUNCTIONS.
All Parts Of the Body Do Not Stimuli.
t%aneously Give Up Their Work
Where Science Admits
Itself at Fault.

To the u~nscientific citizen It is some.
thing Of a surprise to learn hat large
parts Of the body are alive and useful
after the phenomenon popularity known
as death has taken place.
Few Of US suspect, for example, that
u kidneys and hearts after We have
died ourselves can in most cases be
resuscitated and that If by some sur
gical miracle they could be trans
planted into another body they would
quickly resume their functions.
This, however. is a we'll demonstrate
ed medical fact.
The human heart has been removed
from the body more than 80 hours
after death and made to beat again.
DR.. Carrel of the Rockefeller institute
has taken the heart from one dog and
inserted 1t in the neck of another,
connecting the aorta with the carotid
artery of the new heart and the vena
cava with its jugular vein. In a few
moments the live dog had two hearts
rhythmically beating, one recording
a pulse of SO and the other 100.
Science has yet formed no precise
definition of death, says McClure's.
The human body teens and q~uivers
with life, only a small part of which
becomes a part of individual conscious
ness
An artery. thoroughly disinfected,
placed in an ordinary culture tube and
then closed to the access of all bac-
teria, will rot putrefy. Under ordinary
circumstances, however, it will under
go autolytic disintegration. Complete
desiccation will preserve it against
this latter process.
Autolysis does not take place except
in the presence of water, this explains
why Egyptian mummies, which were
thoroughly dried before being placed
away in the tomb, have resisted for
80 centuries the autolytic ferment.
Normal blood serum is another sub
stance which inhibits to a considerable
degree a%utolytic degeneration.
Cold, while it doesnot entirely check
the process, makes It exceedingly
slow. 1t is upon refrigeration that DR..
Carrel has thus far chiefly depended
for preserving arteries. In order to
prevent putrefication he places them
In sterilized culture tubes and then
he puts away the tubes in large ice
chests, which maintain a temperature
just above the freezing point. Here
they live in a condition of suspended
animation.
Dry and shriveled as they appear.
they are still living tissue, and al
though the animals from which they
have been taken have long since gone
to their final rest these fragments, il
placed in a new living host, once more
take up the thread Of existence. That
the arteries could be removed from a
man recently dead and have their
vitality and usefulness preserved in
this same fashion is certain.

The Painful Way.

"The late DR.. w. +. Bull" said Z
Philadelphia physician, had, for q
surgeon, unusual knowledge Of drugs.
His knowledge of narcotic drugs
helped on his surgical success. To a
patient Of DR.. Bulls an operation was
almost a pleasure.
HE was once talking about the
painful drugs that suicides take, when
there are so many deadly drugs of an
actually agreeable nature.
HE said one Of his patients years
ago tried suicide unsuccessfully. In
the magistrates court DR.. Bull testi-
fled in the mans behalf, and the mag
istrate said:
"'Well, young man, since you seem
to have a good character III let you
off on condition that you promise not
to repeat this experiment
"T'm not likely to repeat IT, said
the reclaimed suicide earnestly. No
body who has tried Rough on Rats
ever tries it again"

The Evolution of Clothes,

The appearance of civilized man, his

Protection Is Progressive.
Daily States.

In his days Alexander Hamilton
deemed it necessary to apologize to
the country for a 71-2 per cent tariff
on a list of articles, all of which
could have been written on one side
of a letter sheet. But since ther
every tariff has been higher than the
tariff it succeeded. and this shows
that tariff protection is progressive.
that it grows by what it feeds on, sc
from a tariff of ! 1-2 per cent under
| Hamilton we have reached one
averaging almost Sc per cent imposed
on thousands of articles.
There is much to ponder over in
the assertion made by the venerable
John Bigelow that we shall new
err get rid of protection ex-
cept through the pangs of civ
il war. When he. said this ne
no doubt had in mind the fact
| that rather than be deprived of the
loot the tariff yields them the power
full and rich industrial monopolies
with the help of the politicians who
serve them would resist by force any
effort of the people to overthrow the
| plundering system which imposes a
heavy tribute on every toiler in the
land.
It may be that Mr.. Bigelow goes too
far in the view he has expressed. but
| it is certain that we shall I'VE get
| rid of protection as a result Of con-
| cessions made by those who are max
| ing immense fortunes out of tariff
| privileges. But the indications are
that in the near future things will
reach the breaking point. The greed
of the protectionists will become in
tolerable, duties will be advanced be-
yond the limit of popular endurance
| and then the people will rise up and
sweep the whole system out of exis-
tence.
The men who profit by protection
are growing more arrogant and more
stupid. Their contempt for and dis
regard of party pledges will be more
openly avowed and manifested and
they will not yield an inch until they
go down under the shock Of a great
political revolution OF in war such as
Mr.. Bigelow predicts. Those who are
able to read the signs Of the times
the system of tariff plumber
realize that a revolution of one kind
or another is coming to overthrow
Throughout the country men of all
parties are asking what reason there
is to believe that industries which
have not been able to establish them
selves after a hundred years of tar.
if protection can ever be expected
to grow strong enough to stand alone.
In the West it is apparent that both
Republicans and Democrats are tired
Of having their pockets emptied by
the greedy fingers of the protectionist
and it is that section of the country
which is going to give the signal of
revolt.
