HYP0DERMIc RESTORES LIFE
Action OF the Heart Can Be Prolonged
After Death. Says French
Physician.

Paris, France.-Death Is by no

minds. laden with metaphysical tradi-

body. II is seemingly all over But

bulletin Of the French Academy Of
Medicine. A we'll known doctor has
shown that every function of life save
consciousness may be kept up. This

the Idea that medical science may

on the whole subject. is that of late

YElPS WHEN CARUS0 SCARS
Woman Takes Dog to Opera and
Tenor Suffers When Rival
Cuts Loose.

Baltimore. Md.-Just as Caruso at
the Metropolitan Opera house recently
reached the part in the third act OF
Aida where he takes the highest
notes OF the opera. the silence or the
big horseshoe was suddenly broken by
the piercing yelp of a small dog, ap'
parently In misery.
"Kiyi. yi-yi-yi." went the startling
yclp, high above the note Of the IA
nous tenor.
For a share Of a moment, Caruso
Ias seen to hesitate. An agonized
look came over his face. but he got a
quick grip on himself and proceeded.
"Kiyiyi," went the dog in a sec
ond shrill shrek Of pain. and then a
muffled. half-uttered yelp indicated
tanned strangle hold.
There was a commotion. especially
in the neighborhood of the shrieks. A
well-dressed woman with crimson face
was seen struggling with something
fluffy. A few near her caught a glimpse
of canine pet and began to litter.
Several ushers rushed in her direction,
but the look of unconcern she had as
sumed by that time made them hest
tate. Those who were aware OF the
episode wondered II the owner of the
dog pinched its ear on purpose or had
accidently tabbed II with a hatpin.
Anyhow. the owners name could not
be learned and just what Caruso said,
under his breath. was likewise lost.

"One evening we left village

village. In the English Manaka

Of the chief came over early and ad-
vised Mrs Babcock to go into her
room and hide away so that she
would not become disfigured.
"'Manaka' Is now under the con-

she has passed from the stage Of

the gateway and there followed a
large company of men and boys. By
this time Manaka had become two

frantic demonstrations were at once
entered into, and then silence pre-
vailed.
The old Daddy walked up and
looked me squarely in the face. Her
high cap, peculiar garment, long staff,
and long slim nose. reminded me
OF the picture of the old witch riding
a broom. The old Daddy continued
her devilish gaze at me, and | was
glad when she walked over to the
house of man that could talk a little
