DEATH TESTS USED FOR

Der of the Medical Record.
The first Of these is to drop ether
into the conjunctival sac of one eye.
If this is followed by reddening of
the conjunctiva it affords proof that
the circulation is intact and that life
is still present. The other eye is used
as q control.
The second test" the Medical Rec
ord says. has been recently proposed
by Icard 1t consists in the subcutane-
Gus injection OF tiuorescin. which, if
the individual is still living. is soon
followed by q yellowish coloring Of the
skin and mucuSa.
THE conjunctiva and the mucous
membrane of the mouth, and particu,
larly the frenum OF the tongue. show
this coloration most distinctly. The
test consists in the injection of eight
to ten cubic centimeters Of a solution
of twenty grams Of tluorescin and thir-
ty grams of sodium carbonate in 100
grams Of distilled water. y negative
result is obtained in cases OF marked
slowing or enfeeblement of the rircu
lation, as during the agonal condition.
THE third test has recently beer pro
posed by Halluin. 1t consists in the
direct exploration of the heart by
means of Stilette. This is introduced
through a small inciSion in one of the
intercostal spaces. Any movement OF
the heart is communicated to the sti-
lette. In some cases of suspended ami

THIRTY MEXICANS
KILLED IN TEXAS
Bodies Found In Many Places;
Eight Fall In Battle

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 2S.-Thirty
dead Mexicans have been found with
in the past twenty-four hours near
San Benito, Mission, Progresso, Chap
in and Mercedes, Tex. The bodies are
lying along the roads and in the brush.
Whether they were killed in fights or
were shot down on sight cannot be
learned.
Hatred for all Mexicans along the
river was manifested in demonstra-
tions when even Mexican employees
at some of the ranches were driven
away. So far as can be learned no
Americans have lost their lives.
Residents at the places near where
bodies were found profess to know
nothing of how the Mexicans met
their death. A bullet hole generally
in the head told the tale.
One of the interesting features OF
late developments is the fortification
of Matamoras against probable in
vasion. The customs house, near the
international bridge, has been barri-
caded and new trenches have been
dug. Heavy guards are thrown out.
Eight Mexicans are reported killed
in battles in Hidalgo and Star coun-
ties. The fights took place some
twenty miles from the river after sew
eral raids had been made. No soldiers
took part in the fighting.
From Harlinger it was reported that
the light artillery is being moved to
the Rio Grande with a view of driving
raiding bands from the Mexican side
of the boundary.
From various places along the river
comes the report that Mexican sol
diers are again entrenching them
selves. Army officials declare that be-
cause there is a lull in activities
trouble is not over and advise citizens
not to approach the boundary.

adapted the tune of "Tipperary" to the
words of a hymn of their own com

It's a good thing to be a. Christian:

The River Through Paris.

Small two decked steamers ply on
the Seine as 1t twists its way through
Paris. You can catch one every fifteen
minutes, and it costs 2 sous q cents
to go from one end of the city to the
other. a distance of perhaps eight
miles. and then once outside the city
walls you pay 2 sous more. The
Seine river is narrow. duh green and
slow moving; not majestic at all, but
made picturesque by the life that is
upon it. In Paris it is commerce and
artistic beauty combined that border
its banks. Within the boats that are
moored to its palings are so many diff
ferent kinds of eXistence-baths. hos
pitals, washhOuses. homes. restau-
rants and lodgings. People live half
above. half under the water, and In
some places on the Seine for long dis
tances these boats are moored four
abreast and following in line like SOL
diers on march. These are the fiattest
of boats. When they come up the riv-
er freighted their tops are just at the
waters edge The Seine seldom rises
or falls very much, as 1t is held in its
banks by concrete walls.-Cleveland
