Of hospital physicians worked for
some time over patient who had
been suffocated and gave him up as
actually dead before the pulmotor
restored him to life. In this case the
gas company which employed the
man. owned a pulmotor and officials
of the company asked to be allowed
to use the apparatus, but were de-
MED permission until the doctors had
used all the other methods they knew
and were satisfied that he was dead.
The pulmotor was then used on what
was officially a corpse, and with com

NEGLECT SOURCE Of WEALTH


Science has turned its inquisitorial
eye more than once on the sugar tree,
but so far has failed to solve its mys-
terry. Investigation has merely re-
corded certain facts; it has not ex-
planned them. II is known, for in
stance, that the sugar maple is far
more particular than the unititiated
suspect For its sap to flow, nights
must be cool, clear and still, with the
temperature at least ten degrees be-
low freezing; the days must be warm
and sunny, with the temperature ris-
ing to 80 degrees above freezing, and
finally, there must be fall Of rain
or Of snow after four or FIVE success
sive days of such weather or the sap
will cease to flow.
But there is hardly more Of mys-
terry here than there is in the fact
that the farmer who has the trees to
tap fails to tap them. He needs no
demonstration to prove to him that
the weather conditions favorable for
the flow of sugar sap are favorable
for little work about the farm. And
he needs, surely, no reminder that an
eager and profitable market awaits
the product. Why, then, only half
the product available is collected and
why half of this natural resource is
wasted is perplexing to the ordinary
mind.

SHIP slvEp-sY SEA SALAD
Olive OIL on Troubled Waters Mixes
With sesweed and 10 Eaten by
Fish, Say saIIors-

+ Came into New York as strange
a story Of sea-made salad as ever
drifted past quarantine TO mornings.
II was told by sailors aboard the
Italian freighter Francesca Ciampa,
out of Palermo February 20 with an
assorted cargo of lemons, olives, oils
spaghetti, macaroni, vermicelli, ravi-
ola and what not.
The stay Of the Ciampa in the
Mediterranean after leaving Palermo
was a prolonged one, due to storms
that buffeted the Italian and had her
alternately wabbling over on beam
ends or attempting to poise ON her
bowsprit's tip.
"Such a Storm said the sailors
spokesman, Giuseppe Ferra, between
mouthfuls Of spaghetti. "Only by
oil could we calm those seas that
were wrecking us. Oil bags we put
over were torn away and what could
we use instead, now that all our oil
was gone? There remained olive oil.
precious to all of US, but over it
went.
"The olive oil Gained the seas cas-
lily. But there was so much seaweed
floating about that it mixed with the
oil and behold we we're in the midst
of salad. Soon every fish for miles
around was headed our way. They
finally nibbled up all the salad and
we were able to move again. The
storm had ceased and we passed
through Gibraltar and so to New
York"
