New York, June aI--Three men had

early hour yesterday morning 70 save
The life Of Captain "Jack" Bonavita, q
one.armed lion trainer. The remains Of
Captain BonaYita's one arm we're badly
torn and the rescuers themselves were
injured
As Bonayita stepped into the cage for
his training yesterday morning and
snapped a whip. the big beast sprang up
on him. Missing the trainer the lion
crashed into a pedestal and then turned
Bis attention to the destruction OF a
chair Then the whip was brought on

Bonavita took refuge behind a pedes-
tai but when the lion leaped again he
caught the trainers arm with his big
paw. Then Bonavita ran for the pas

lion IN pursuit. The trainer lodged back
Of one Of the doors and the animal pass

II was in this passageway that Tall

turned corner and started down q
runway under the steps leading into the
Bostoek arena they came face 70 face

They were armed with the long wooden
poles with steel prongs and the three

beast back into the arena. The lion
fought furiously to get at the men, but
they kept the poles 50 busy that he was
unable to spring upon them. His roars
filled the building and got al the other
animals excited. Bonavita watched the

made no move until the lion seemed TO

up through the floor. DR.. Carroll and
several assistants In sterilized gowns
entered the Enclosure. The tempera-
ture was noted and a Jet OF steam
turned on. Then the sealed end Of
the tube was opened, and after a time
the cartilaginous figure began to as

removed It from the tube and placed
it in a cushioned easy chair.

Such is the story whispered among
the younger experimenters at the
Starkweather institute with reference
to the withdrawal Of the suit to break
the Starkweather viii on payment Of
100000 to the heirs OF the 100000

element Of the story, however, that
casts doubt upon its truth Nothing

mains, dead or alive, Of Starkweather
On DIR. CAROLS theory he might now

doctor still has him in the big test

back to permanent life Surely the
interests Of scientific research would
not be injured By q frank avowal Of
the facts.

The re.electing Of Lady Aberdeen as
president and the elevating Of her cous.
IN from the position Of corresponding
secretary to that OF vice president famed
almost into a flame the bitterness the
Canadian and American delegates feel at
the Aberdeen ascendaney in the interna-
tional council. They thought there
should be a change in the presidency this
year. They have thought so in other
years. In fact, the contest has been
carried on IN London, ia Berlin, in Gene.
va and elsewhere for a series Of years.
II was hoped by the opposition that the
holding OF the council ON this side Of
the water would remove It from the
powerful influences the ambitious Lady
Aberdeen was able to bring to bear In
Europe.
The result Of the present election Is
the more calling because Mrs Gordon
was promoted, There Is a feeling that
she aspires TO dictate the councils policy.

The great scientific investigator and

What is death, doctorT asked the
latter.
II don't know. Formerly we con-
sidered death the separation Of animal
and spiritual life. occurring when the
heart ceased to beat Now we know
that the body lives on after that
period. There are two causes OF bodily
death or corruption-vtz, microbes and
self digestion. Microbes cannot act II
not permitted 10 enter. and self diges-
ton cannot take place except through
the agency Of water. Exclude the mi
erobes. exhaust the water, and. In my
opinion. the body may be kept alive in

may be eliminated"

up to contest the WIZ
A meeting was called, committee
appointed and counsel employed.
A month later counsel informed the
committee that there was no doubt OF
their ability to break the win, owing to
flaw IN Tue deed Of trust. The trus.
tees attorneys were SO far convinced
OF this that they made an offer to
compromise. The offer was submitted

unanimously declined.
DR.. Carroll, who was present at the
meeting. arose and stated that there
was seme doubt about Jonathan Stark
weather being dead and he might be
capable OF making another will. All
were surprised at what was consid-
cred an absurd blur on the part Of a
man who stood at the head Of eeien-
tide research IN America. Shouts Of
