Big Fishing Trip Over.

party that ever was attempted in the
history of this county returned to

arrived. Messrs. Roy Carley. A Nj.

be so much, but when it comes to
advertising their home county they
are there and over" Regular
daily bulletins were received during
their absence and were placed in
front of the postoffice, where they
we're eagerly read by those who were
left behind. A clipping from the
paper published in the town near
which they camped gave an idea of
their advent into town, and went on
to state that number of North Da-
kota gentlemen had arrived in town
by auto. and were of such suspic-
ious-looking character that the
chief of police, in order to better
keep his eye on them. had required
that they wear special uniforms of
similar pattern, and deputized a local
business man as a sort of Wutchman
whose duty it was to keep with them
and see that they attempted no
stunts which might in some way
more or less seriously fracture a

fine and happy and declare that they

science bring Captain Scott back to

The world has mourned the brave
polar explorer as dead, and his flu
neral was held last winter in London.
But DR.. de Castellane Seymore. a
nobleman of scientific training who is
now making his home in this city. de-
clares that he can bring the captain
back to life and is busily preparing an
cisco for the Soueh Pole about the
first of June.
The possibility of bringing ami
mails to life after they have been
frozen has already been demon
strated," says DR.. Seymore, but I
have devised a technique that will per-

beings with positive assurance of sue

The bodies of Captain Scott and
his companions, if brought back to

could be revived. The captain and
his three companions were found stiff
in their tents nearly eight months aft
err their death. The captain was Sit

ment upon my dog with complete sue
cess. In bringing back a human OBJ
oect to life an important part of the
method would be the injection Of a
large quantity Of blood from a man
in good health.
I'm the course of my scientific
studies I observed that snakes, toads.
bats, lizards and vipers-all cold
blooded animals-hibernate; that they
partake of no food; that digestion
ceases entirely and respiration is
greatly reduced, while the other func-
tons of nature during this period of
winter sleep are entirely suspended.
II also observed the same to be true
of warm-blooded animals-the bear,
squirrel. rabbit. 'possum and coon,
etc.--although they do not freeze, as
do the former.
II studied this subject Of suspended
animation. I came across the case Of
a toad that had been imbedded IN a
rock for at least 200 years, without
air. without food, in a temperature be-
low 80. I had in the meantime ex-
perimented with various animals Of
various sizes and kinds. I found that
alternating bats could remain in wa
ter for hours and yet live!

freezing and restoration. I tried it
on 'possums, next on cats, and final

the same, and the receipts from sales
were going into the general fund in
