ALIVE AFTER DEATH"
Many Organs Retain Life For
Considerable Periods and Can
Be Grated Into Other Bodies.

In the February McClure's
Burton j. Hendrick describes the
experiments in transplanting an
imal organs conducted at the
Rockefeller Institute by DR.. Alexis
Carrel. DR.. Carrel preserves an
imal tissues in cold storage for
many weeks.
To the unscientific citizen it
is something of a surprise to
learn that 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
our kidneys and hearts, after we
have died ourselves, can in mosl
cases be resuscitated, and that
if by some surgical miracle they
could be transplanJed into an
other body, they would quickly
resume their functions. This,
however, is a we'll demonstrated
medical fact. The human heart
has been removed from the
body more than thirty hours af-
ter death and made to beat
again. DR.. Carrel himself has
taken the heart from one dog
and inserted it in the neck of
another, connecting the aorta
with cartoid 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 re-
cording a pulse Of 80 and the
other 100.
"Science has yet framed nc
precise definition of death. The
human body teens and quivers
with life, only a small part Of
individual consciousness. The
healthy man hardly realizes the
numerous and complex activities
of his internal organs. The
alimentary canal is the abiding
place of millions of micro-organ
isms, the activities of which only
occasionally influence our daily
life. Bodily tissue everywhere
is constantly breaking down anC
constantly building up; and We
it is only in the last few year.
that even science has begun tt
understand the beautiful chem
ical reactions involved in thu
process"

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
Joseph w. Folk of Missouri; it's indie
fatigable secretary, Richard Lloyd
Jones, who had active charge of the
arrangements for today's ceremonies,
and other officers and members.
Man Who Saved Cabin Present.
A prominent figure in the crowd of
distinguished men at the ceremonies
was Robert J. Collier of New York, to
whom the country owes the preserva
ton Of the cabin IN which the great
liberator was born In 1860 the cabin
was removed from it's original site to
another a mile and half distant, near
Davenport. There it served as a spring
house until the early eighties when it
was bought by an enterprising show
man and carted around the country to
| serve as an attraction at worlds fairs
and elsewhere From this ignominious
| fate 1t was rescued by Mr.. Collier. The
outgrowth Of his efforts to preserve 1t
as perpetual memorial for the nation
was the Lincoln Farm association.
whose labors will take concrete form
| in the marble memorial which will be
| built around and over the shack in
which Lincoln was born.
Acting as escort for President Roose-
welt and lending a very picturesque
touch to the occasion were the mem
bers of the Louisville post Of the Grand
Army of the Republic and the mem
bers of the Louisville camp Of the
United Confederate Veterans. The
mingling Of the blue and the gray on
this occasion elected from President
Roosevelt many expressions of delight
The Men Who Spoke.
The exercises at the Lincoln farm
began at noon. The opening address
was delivered by Ex-Governor Folk
who spoke ON "The Lincoln Farm AS
ISOLATION" He was followed by Gov.
ernor Wilson, whose theme was Lin
coins Mother State" Then came Pres
1dent Roosevelt, whose Lincoln Cen
tennial Address was received will
earnest attention and at it's close will

cessor as orator was Secretary Wright
who spoke for THE Confederate Vet
cram" Last on the list of speakers was
General James Grant Wilson, the vel
known writer and orator, who spoke
for THE Federal Veteran" The Law

good deal of curiosity as to the source

Hardin was robbed of three bag
ger in the third inning. when with 4
man on base he drove the ball out into
deep left field. Streeter made go
run for it and managed to pull Il
down.
Murphy had busy day of it yester
day, with seven putouts TO his credit.
His catch of Blausser's long fly in the
seventh inning was one of the features
Of the game. Mcbride was on the job
also with four putouts furnishing an
other feature.
I'm the third inning with Cosgrove or
first base, Callahan attempted to Sa..
rifice him to second. Kelley took the
bunt. but just as he reached il his foot
slipped and he sat down. That did not
defer him. however. from whipping the
ball down To second while sitting on
the ground and he caught his man.
Kelley's whip is the prettiest We have
seen yet this year.
With man on third base and two
out in the final inning. Swacina was
called upon by Manager Tighe TO bal
in nlace of Jacobsen. "Swats" had a
difficult task before him. in trying to
break up game with a pitcher like
DAILY working, and he failed as his
best Offering was pop up back of
second base.
That makes the second time that
Hardin and Daily have been pitted
against each other with the same re-
suit. Hardin pitched ball that would
have won nine out of 10 games, and
he deserved to have shutout credited

get away with the contest. That boy
| DAILY is there with the goods, however
and the Islanders have secured only
three hits off him in the two games he

Cosgrove was on second base in the
sixth inning and when Johnson hit a

| for third base after the catch was
made but he refrained much to the dis
gust of Dick Smith. When Heinie
Steiger followed with another long
drive to Murphy, Smith yelled at his
man to take a chance and Cosgrove
obediently did so, with the result that
the ball was waiting for him at third
base when he came within 10 feet OF
