BRING DEAD TO LIFE
New York Doctor Claims to Have
Performed Act.
Blood TRANSMISSION RevlvIfied Pneumo-
mia Victim After Respiration Had
ceased-Dr. Soresi Talks of
Operation.

New York.-The miracle of bringing
the dead back to life, DR.. A. L. Soresi
of Fordham university thinks, will be
scientific achievement of the future.
DR.. Soresi, attached to the staff OF
Flower hospital, has for FIVE years
conducted experiments of TRANSMISSION
Of blood. with results. he says. that
are amazing.
Professor Soresi told OF saving the
life of a patient stricken with pneu-
nonia by TRANSMISSION of blood to the
left side of the heart after respiration
had entirely ceased in the patient and
the body was apparently moribund.
After explaining his experiments
with TRANSMISSION of blood in animals.
Professor Soresi said:
IAN experiment with a pneumonia
patient was perhaps not as spectacu-
lar. This patient was entirely without
respiration from all known tests ap-
piled, and therefore actually moribund
to all human knowledge, when | made
a TRANSMISSION of blood from a normal
man through the jugular vein of the
patient. The return to life was
prompt and recovery followed in due
course.
IF such transfusions could be made
promptly the loss of life could be ma
terially lowered.
In a recent test at Flower hospital
| pumped air the blood from a dog
until the animal lay absolutely life
less. For fifteen minutes l allowed
the animal to remain without spark
of life. The heart had stopped beat
ing and every function of life had
ceased.
Il connected the blood vessels of
the dog with those of another dog and
permitted the blood to flow. Inside of
five minutes there was a complete re-
turn of life. and the dog soon was
yelping in an entirely normal way.
Other experiments with dogs have
yielded results as amazing.
When the way has been found to
connect directly with the left side Of
the heart medical science will be able
to restore human beings to life after
all animation has been suspended, pro-
vided there is no organic trouble. The
resuscitation will be effective in cases
Of gas or drug poisoning. hemor-
rhages. and such diseases as typhoid
fever and pneumonia Sudden deaths.
by accident. when no vital organs
have been crippled. will fall within
the scope of the TRANSMISSION method
Under the new science it will be
possible to restore life after 1t has
been extinct for half an hour. l am
devoting most of my time to these
experiments and hope before long to
be able to make an important an
nouncement to the world of science"

Ship Cook Tells Mosquito Story
of San Bias Coast.
DoubIe-Headed Dutehman Relates How
Natives by Their Ingenuity Were
Able to Load Vessel With
Cocoanuts Quickly.


New York.-The cook of the British
schooner Carib H., which was at the
foot of West Twenty-fourth street
while in port, said that he was "dou
ble-headed Dutchman." When ques
toned as to the meaning of this phrase
the cook explained that a double
headed Dutchman" was a sailor mar
hailing from Amsterdam, Holland.
1t is necessary to come from Am
sterdam in order to be addressed by
the above name. A man who came
from Rotterdam, the cook said, would
not be a "double-headed Dutchman,
nor could the native of any other city
but Amsterdam use this title
The Carib II is a white, three-mast'
ed schooner owned in Colon. and ar
rived with a cargo Of cocoanuts from
the San Bias coast. There were $780,
476 cocoanVis in the schooner's hold
when she arrived, according to the
cook. whose name Is Gerrit Gallandt
a truthful man. fifty years old. who
has been, cook on many ships since
he put to sea from Amsterdam 81
years ago. He has not been back
there since.
He remarked that 1t was necessary

the cargo was got on board.

Cert without the semblance of q
smile. The mosquitoes on the San
Bias coast are so large and smart that
the natives use them to help out in
various ways.
AS soon as we anchored on the
coast one fine morning we heard a
sound like brass band. We thought
1t was native celebration after cleo
ton or something like that, but soor
the sky darkened and the ship was
quickly showered by thousands Of
cocoanuts. It was the mosquito leet
bringing out our cargo and the noise
we heard was their loud humming
I'VE were very much frightened
at first and ran below, but native
soon arrived in his canoe and explain
ed matters. He said that another
fleet would be along pretty soon anC
that we must be careful not to BE-
struck by the cocoanuts as they fell
THE native said that efforts were
being made to train the mosquitoes t.
deposit the cocoanuts In the holds Of
the vessel. bat he did not expect this
could be accomplished without a goot
deal Of additional training
There was a good deal of satisfac
ton among the chiefs, the native said
over the new use that the mosquitoes
had been put to. Before they wer,
so admirably trained the cocoanutl
had to be transported from shore IL
lighters and canoes to the waiting
ships"
Gerrit Gallandt concluded his tai,
by saying that the Carib II. received
her cargo on her visit to San Blai
quicker than she had ever got on,
before.
