The Intention.

Attention of the readers of this
paper is called to the efforts of the
recently formed Kentucky Folk
Lore Society. This Society IL try
ing to collect and preserve all kinds
Of folklore, of which there 10 mueh

Many readers of this article can

Of folklore that the Society b COT

from Indian days. are all worth
saving. ~
DIALECT-Unusual words, words
used in unusual senses in a given
locality, and survivals (such -
are common in the mountains Of
Kentucky Of old words or meanings
are desired. The origin of our geog-
raphical names also needs to be
worked out.
MISCELLANEOUS = Besides the

FUSION TICKET
IN FAYETTE
Republicans, Progressives,
and Independents Together.
Leaders Recognize Little Can be
Done Against Common Enemy
By Keeping Apart
The Lexington Leader says:

AS a result of the unanimity Of SEN
hment which characterized the joint
conference Of Republicans and Pro-
gressives at Fusion headquarters Sat
i, yrday afternoon, Fusion or non-par-
Man ticket for the various county Of
fees In Fayette county will be put
into the field to be voted for at the
coming November election.
This decision, which was reached
after more than an hours discussion
OF the situation by the leaders Of both
parties, was embodied In a resolution
presented by Henry T. Duncan. one
OF the recognized Progressive lead
ers Of the last Presidential campaign,
and clearly indicated that the Pro-
gressives are willing to meet the Re-
publicans and Independents half way
In the movement to prevent the old
Democratic machine from again get
ting control Of the governmental af-
fairs of Fayette county.
In ringing address before the
. meeting preliminary to the intro
duction OF his resolution. Mr.. Dun
can voiced the sentiment of a major
ity Of those present when he said
that nothing could be accomplish
ed by either the Republicans or
Progressives by putting separate tick
cts In the field, but that by uniting
land Joining with the Independent
democrats and Independents, making
1t a non-partisan citizens movement
for good local government the ad-
vantage gained by the Fusion victory
EN- 1909 COULD be maintained and the
SeOunty's affairs continue to be admin
istered honestly. economically and de-
Gently. without fear Of drifting back
into the old rut, from which the
Fusionists redeemed it four years ago.
The Duncan resolution which was
adopted without dissenting vote.
was as follows:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense Of
this meeting that the Republicans.
Progressives. Independent Democrats
and Independents Of Lexington and
Fayette county should nominate a
Fusion or non-partisan ticket for
county offices ut the coming Novem-
Der election"
Following the adoption OF this
resolutions. a motion was offered by
Mr.. Duncan and carried, authorizing
the chair to appoint committee OF
not less than fifteen citizens repre-
senting the conference TO confer with
the Republican and. Progressive coun-
ty committees and secure their off,
cial approval and cooperation in
the action taken at the conference
relative to placing Fusion ticket
In the field. thus gvng 1t the stamp
Il regularity. This special committee
of fifteen was not named at this
meeting, but will be announced later,
and 1t Is expected that within the
next few days IL will confer with the
Republican and Progressive commit
tees and prepare the way for the call
ing at an early date of Fusion con-
yention to nominate candidates from
the parties which compose the Fusion
movement for the county offices.

life PROLONGED
/. IN The ANIMALS
!
As Result of Scientific Tests
That Are Made.
Chickens Heart Is Removed, Fro
zen, Then Thawed and
Pulsates for Time.

Baltimore, May 2O.-Scientists
and laymen alike are interested in
the remarkable apparatus installed
in the astrological laboratory of the
John Hopkins University by which
the investigators have, by the use
of liquid air, discovered ''latent life"
a stage between life and death. They
have also revived apparently dead or
ganisms, IL only for a short period,
months after all signs Of life have
disappeared.
Not only cold blooded but warm
blooded organisms have been reviv-
ed. - Chickens hearts have been
made to spulsate after months of com
finement in the vacuum of liquid air
jars.
The Investigations started with
the suggestion of one Of the profess
sors that he believed that he could
freeze an ordinary toad to a point
where. while not evident, life would
remain. He tried the experiment.
but failed. Persevering, he finally
succeeded in keeping frog alive for
several months.
Frogs. lizards. snakes. rats and
even fish are used in the experiments.
The greatest success has been Sc
cured with frogs and reptiles. This
is attributed to the fact that there
are certain times OF the year when
animation Is partly suspended in
these creatures. Sometimes they re-
main in the jars for months. Then
they are "thawed out" and revived
by means of massage and respiration.
During the dormant state the or
ganism give every appearance of
being absolutely void of life. Even
microscopic examination fails. to
show the slightest sign of animation.
There have been instances in
which bacteria have been frozen in
the liquid jars at a temperature Of
over 1870 degrees below zero, and
yet they survive for months, because
as minute organisms they possess
much destructive ability and there
fore virtues of remarkable resistance
to extreme elements. Even snails
have had their life suspended for
weeks and have revived upon an appli
cation of chemical solution.
Fish have been frozen to such a
state as to allow the removal of
their intestines en- masse. They have
been revived. but did not live long.
In warmer blooded animals the
same resisting power was not found.
However, experiments with chickens
have been partly successful. Even
chicks, just before leaving their
shells, have been frozen for weeks
and afterward revived for a short
period. In one case the heart of a
partly grown chicken was removed
with its arteries, which were closed
at the ends and frozen for several
days. The organ pulsated twice af-
ter being "thawed."
The tails of rats have been ampu-
tated and placed in refrigerator jars.
and weeks after have been grated
onto other rats after the amputation
of their tails. This Is taken to
prove the preservation OF tissues, an
essential to the prolongation of life
In a warm-blooded organism.
