BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE
BY SALT AND OXYGEN
Blood of Patient Turned Black
by Gas Withdrawn and Sa-
line Solution Substituted.

Norfolk. Va. When Moses Good
man, of this city. regained his
senses there was a day missing
in his span OF years that he
will know nothing about n it win
take lots of explaining to make him
fully realize that he has been nearer
TO the shores beyond han most people
have ever been without actually get
ting there.
An oxygen generator and .~respirator
are directly responsible for Goodman's
life being saved.
Friday night Moses came over the
river and went to the theater. For a
couple OF days all the gas in the
Eighth ward had been cut of because
workinen were repairing a leak in the
main. and Moses evidently left the jet
in his room wide open and went to bed.
Two pints OF blood was taken from
the arm of Moses, and a thousand Gu
bic centimeters OF saline solution in
jected. The action OF the gas had
turned the blood of Moses black. and
he was as near being a dead man as
could be imagined.
DR.. Lawford had one Of Professor
Poe's oxygen generators II respira'

animals to life after they had been

this treatment with the injection Of
powerful stimulants. The generator
was kept busy all day long.

ENDORSING the Kings.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
When the Grand Duke Alexis, OF
Russia, visited this country with his
imposing suite, one of the places TO
which the Russians went was out West
for a buffalo hunt. The hunt was held
in South Dakota, n Colonel Hatch
OF the army, was assigned TO take the
party I'm charge and 10 the honor3.
Russians, except the Cossacks, are
none too good when 1t comes to horse
manship, and this information was con-
veyed TO Colonel Hatch. with the re-
quest that some mild and gentle steeds
be procured for the visitors for the
hunt. Hatch did the best he could with
the army mounts, and the cavalcade
started from Fort Robinson.
The leaders rod slowly. 1t was q
long and imposing procession. Just as
Hatch was congratulating himself that
everything vas going nicely, his order

greater yield. Wheat yielded from 70
to 30 bushels per acre. We have all

Americans who came here with means
TO go ahead, who have done big al

further west, but the best prairie can

are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight of il makes n stop and

when the immense prairies get under
