ADJ SEARCHED THEIR BOOKS
AMUSING Joke Played BY Alderman on
HE Brother Members Of the
Council.

They tell story Of an alderman
who had sense Of humor. At a
meeting Of the council at a time
when a number Of contracts were to
be given out the members picked up
the record book with which all are
provided and began to turn the
pages idly. Suddenly he started and
stopped, with a page poised between
thumb and forefnger, and carefully
looked around. Then he cautiously
extracted a bank bill from between
the pages and hastily thrust it in his
vest pocket.
He turned a few more pages,
pulled out another bill and put it
away in the same manner. Then he
began to wonder if he was being
watched.
After he had found the third
bill ana hidden it he suddenly raised
his head and looked about the table.
He says that every person present
was carefully and breathlessly turn
ing the pages Of his individual book,
one page at time.
Of course the joker had Sailed
his own book beforehand, and the
whole thing was scandalously
clever sell.

beats from a distance of a mile or
more.
The progress of several common
diseases is plainly indicated by the
frequency and force of the patients
heart beats. By the use of this new
instrument a doctor, while sitting
in his office may watch the progress
of the diseases of several patients,
hour by hour, and so avoid I'M
necessary personal visits.
This instrument is, in effect, a
heart telephone, which shows the
doctor to the minutest fraction of
second how the heart is beating. In
the hospital ward the patient places
each hand in dish CT salt water,
to which conducting wires are con-
nected with the instrument in the
laboratory.
Every time the heart beats it pro-
duces an electric current, and this
current is conducted to fine thread
suspended between the poles of
very powerful electromagnetic The
thread is so thin as to be almost in
visible to the naked eye. 1t is made
from drawn glass and is $1,000 of
millimetre in diameter.
AS the patient puts his hands in
the dish of salt water by the bed
side the action of the heart is cleo
trically telegraphed to the thread,
which is detected with every heart
beat
On the principle of the magic Ian
tern-the thread is practically the
"slide"-a powerful arc light throws
the threads magnifed reflection on
a screen, and by a cunning contrf-
vance it is automatically photo
graphed on a moving plate In this
way an "electro-cardiograph," or
heart beat picture, is obtained.
1T is possible" said a doctor
who explained the apparatus, ito
record heart beats mile distant.
Indeed, l think it might be possible
to bring the telephone into use and
record the throbbing of the heart
over greater distances"
Some interesting experiments
have been made by the authorities
at London Hospital. An ele-
!
made to stand with his feet in hip
baths of the salt solution while his
heart beats were photographed in
q room upstairs. The cardiograph
showed that his heart was beating
forty times to the minute.
A rat was also experimental on,

next on cats, and finally on dog The
first were failures, but my dog survived
the ordeal. Then perfected my fluid, and
1t is with the assistance of this fluid that
| expect to reanimate the human body,
aided by heat, massage, the pulmotor and
the Eisemenger method of artificial
breathing"
In addition to DR.. Castellane Seymore's
experiments, there is an abundance of
scientific evidence regarding the preserva-
ton of life and animal tissues at low tenn
peratures. These range from the cases of
suspension of life in lower animals. such
as frogs and fishes, to the extraordinary
preservation of the tissues in prehistoric
mammoth 10000 years old. found enclosed
in a block of ice. The important point,
however, is that it has never been proved
that life can be suspended by freezing and
then restored in man or the warm-bIooded
animals
Perhaps the most interesting recent OBJ
servations concerning the suspension and
restoration of life we're made by Sir Err
nest Shackleton, Captain SCOTS former
lieutenant Shackleton found that the lit
tie insects called "rotifers" and" water
bears" were capable of remaining alive
indefinitely when frozen, In his book,
The Heart of the Antarctic" Shackleton
writes:
AS soon as the animals were obtained
from the weed enclosed in the ice in the
manner described above, 1t was obvious that
mere freezing did not kill them They
were first got in the shallow lakes, where
the weed could be seen through the trans
parent ice at the margins. There were
plenty in all the shallow lakes. shaft

did not kill the animals.
Then they were alternately frozen and
thawed weekly for long period, and took
no harm They we're dried and frozen, and
thawed and moistened, and still they lived.
At last they were dried, and the bottle
containing them was immersed in boiling
water, which was allowed to cool gradu-
ally, and still a great many survived.
Again they were put into sea water, and
into the brine from the bottom of Green
Lake which is so salt that it only freezes
at about zero (Fahrl. They were left in
these salt waters for month, yet as soon
as they were transferred to fresh water
they began to crawl about as though moth

mails that they can endure being taken

that survive all these changes but the

Swiss chemist, has recently proved that
fish could be frozen and brought to life
again. He suggested the possibility of
producing the same conditions with the
warm -blooded animals.
Professor Richard Muirhead, the Eng
lish biologist, in his Studies of Vital En-
durance," has collected many cases OF
lower animals that have been frozen and
restored to life. He caused several gold fish
to be frozen in a solid cake of ice. At the

yellow weed covering the gravel of which
the bottom was composed, and on this
weed several kinds of rotifers were found
alive. This fact seemed more remarkable
later, when we found that Blue Lake did
not melt during the two Summers that we
spent at Cape Royds. This means that the
animals must be capable of remaining
frozen for years, possibly for many years
without being killed.
