FREEZING TO DEATH.
Sensations That Come With Exposure
to Extreme Cod.

In the course OF series of expert
ments with extreme cold carried on at
Berlin. Raoul Pictet, an investigator,
inserted his bare arm beyond the ell
bow I'm a chamber refrigerated to a
temperature of l57 degrees below zero
F. and kept II there for several min
utes. He suffered no permanent dam
age. but experienced number of pc
culiar and painful sensations. The
chief of these and the most trying was
a feeling of pain in the bones of the
hand and arm.
The pain increased steadily. II was
located chiefly in the interior parts of
the arm and was far less severe In the
portions near or at the surface. The
skin was purple when the member was
withdrawn In about ten minutes a
violent reaction set in with violent
burning sensation of the skin wherever
IL had been exposed.
Investigations carried on with dogs
indicated that the process OF freezing
to death is not necessarily an unpleas-
ant one. Placed in a temperature Of
-125 to -l50 the animals displayed
quickened breathing and heart beats,
with decided rise above normal In
the blood temperature. These signs
pointed TO a sudden and violent auto
matte effort of the heart to preserve
the bodily temperature. In spite Of en-
ergetic heart action the temperature OF
the blood fell gradually TO Il degrees.
At this point the heart action ceased
very suddenly.
The sensations of bodily warmth and
languor mentioned in descriptions of
death by violent cold can easily be un-
derstood in view of the above expert
ments.-New York Sun.
