The next day and the next the ex-

In a desperate attempt at humor the
student replied, ''Well, it's the same

That's it," shouted Agassiz. That's

Kept Alive by Electricity.

The attention of surgeons at the
General hospital, Birmingham, Eng

remarkable Case of a lad eleven years
Of age. He was admitted to the insti
tuition suffering from tumor on the
brain, the removal Of which necessi-
tated most serious operation.
While the surgeons were at work
the patient stopped breathing and artt
fetal respiration was resorted to. Dur
ing the course of the operation large
portion Of the skull was removed, and
when the pressure from the brain was
tightened the lad began to breathe
again. An electric battery was ap'
piled to the chest, and the muscles be-

Outer Gardens Of Paris.

thirteen hothouses for plants. exotic
shrubs and flowers are heated from
one central heating plant. distributing
hot water through nine and one halt

this central heating organization is not
as the head gardener explains. with q
view of economy. In fact. such Il
system is far more costly than separate

dena explorer, who has just returned
from the desert in the vicinity of Death

who took "short cut" from Death
Valley last summer and were never
seen again. He promised to keep his
eyes open for any trace of the party.
When travelling IS miles from wa
terhole, his dog, Rufus, found the scat.

those of one of the prospectors. No
trace was found of the other two, and
it is likely the sand covered their skel-

there were only three Americans left
