Surgeon Plans to Patch Up Living
Bodies With Dead Ones.

Chicago, April INSTRUMENTATION
of new, living bodies from the few
perfect organs of the dead is declared
to be a possibility of tn not far dis
tant future by Roswell Park, professor
of surgery in the University of Buffa-
10. In paper on "Thanatology, pub
lished in the current number of the
journal of the American Medical as
ISOLATION, issued in Chicago, DR.. Park
tells how the newest miracle may be
accomplished.
His plan simply is to make practical
use of the live organs that remain in
the corpse of man or woman.
Since death may result from violent
injury to one organ-the brain or the
heart, for instance-Dr. Park says
that the remaining live tissues may
be grated on the body of an injured
person with the same hope of success
that Burbank exhibits in grating the
flora.
In this manner virtually every part
of a body, with the exception of the
diseased part, may be used with good
effect by practical surgeons. Teeth,
bone, flesh and muscle, he says, may
be used in carrying health and renew
ed life to at least fifty patients by the
use of only one body. Countless OPP
erations hitherto looked upon as i'm
possible are declared possible in this

His woman's grey wig and dress quite

also a cousin of Florence Whistler,

good voice and wears stunning
gowns. Clever Clark lives up to his

SANTA FE TO HELP
Shops Will Connect With City
WaterWOrkS.
Provide City With Water in
Emergencies.
CAPACITY 5000, 900 GALLONS
Could Supply Need in Case Of
an Accident.
CITY Will Build Also a Mann
moth Reservoir.

No water shortage in Topeka this
summer. The city waterworks depart
ment is planning on the construction or
a two and a half million gallon reser-
voir to be used in emergencies In ad-
dition to this precaution, work will be-
gin soon on a connection between the
city water mains and the mains of the
Santa F'e railway shop water depart
ment mains. With this connection, the
city will have two distinct supplies and
water pumping systems in case of fire
or mechanical breakdown.
The Santa Fee has given the city per-
mission to make the connection at
once. With their new system capable
of pumping five million gallons of
water day, the Santa Fe would be in
a position to supply the entire city in
case the municipal plant went wrong.
The average daily consumption of
water in Topeka is three million gall
Ions daily. With an order against
sprinkling and excess use of water in
dry weather the city could reduce the
summer consumption to the capacity
of the Santa Fe plant, if the city water
works was out of order.
The new reservoir will be built just
north of the Rock Island tracks and
east of the waterworks plant. 1t will
be filled at all times and emptied suffi-
pure. The reservoir will be used only
in case of emergency and in exceed
ingly dry weather.
The city plant has a capacity IF
eleven million gallons of water daily.
In drouthy weather when the supply is
low and when the big wells are not
flowing to their limit, the reservoir will
be used in the day time and will be
filled at night.
When this reservoir is completed. To-
peka will have a number of reserve
water supplies in case of a conf1agra-
ton or unusual demand In the first
place. the city has 43 points beneath
the bed of the Kansas river These
points in addition to the three big wells.
AS last resort, the city has an intake
valve out in the middle of the river.
Water can be pumped through this
valve if all other sources fail. The
Santa Fe offer will make it nearly i'm
possible for the supply to fail in time
of need.
