The boys went up stream to engage in
various forms of amusement and a
number of the girls took a notion to
wade the inviting waters of Rapid

Two girls in the party, more rem

that wading was too tame a pastime
and INDUCED in a regular bathing

banks, drying in the sun, tho girls
heard the click of a camera and two

RAISE THE DEAD
Physician Claims to Be Able to
Restore the Life of
Capt. Scott

New Rochelle, N. Y, May 3.-Can
science bring Captain Scott back to
life2
The world has mourned the brave
polar explorer as dead. and his funeral
was held last winter In London. But
DR.. de Castellane Seymore, a noble
man of scientific training who is now
making his home in this city, declares
that he can bring the captain back to
life and is busily preparing an expedi
tion which will leave San Francisco
for the south pole about the LIST of
June.
"The possibility of bringing animals
to life after they have been frozen has
already been demonstrated. ; says DR..
Seymore, ''but / have devised a tech
nique that will permit the thawing
ont of frozen human beings with
positive assurance of success.
''The bodies of Captain Scott and his
companions, if BIO pght back to
civilization in a trp oxen condition,
could be revived. The captain and
his three companions were found stiff
in their tents nearly eight months
after their death. The captain was
sitting with his back against the tent
pole. The bodies were in perfect cor
aition.
''They were left as they lay. In
fact. they were frozen Sd stiff il would
have been impossible to change tx cir
attitude. A snow hill was built
over them and a memorial cross placed
over this. Perhaps a solid block Of
ice will have formed around Captain
Scott before he can pe removed. In
any case, it will be necessary to put
the body in a refrigerator, keeping 1t
below freezing point, if my treatment

81 have already tried this treat
ment upon my dog with complete
success. In bringing back q human
object to life an important part of
the method would be the Injection of

sleep are entirely suspended.
81 also observed the same to be true
of wal I'M looded animals-the bear,

THE GR0SbEAK
A Fine Singer and Sociable With
His Feathered Kind

Sioux City Tribune: There are few
better singers than the Rosebreasted
Grosbeak. Nuttall, one OF our early
and best ornithologists, says he has no
superior, save only the mocking bird;
like the mocking bird he sings at
night. but does not make a speciality
of it. When he is in the right mood,
will sometime sing all through the
night. with notes as clear and mellow
as q silver bell.
Guatemala, in Central America, is
one of the principal winter resorts of
these birds. Coming north. they reach
Sioux City about May z, and by the
end of the month the nest is built and
the Sci of eggs. numbering from three
to five. are deposited. These are pale
blue with reddish brown markings
thickly scattered over the whole egg
but congregated somewhat in q wreath
around the large end.
The nest itself Is closely built OF
stubble. fragments Of leaves and stems
OF plants, strengthened by twigs and
coarse stems. The size Of the nest is
about 8x3x2 inches. with . cavity about
3 inches in diameter and 1 in depth,
which seems quite shallow for 80 large

is usually 9 to 10 feet. Frequently.
several nests are to he found in ad-
joining trees or bushes, for they are

like a Trojan to ill the hungry
mouths.
