mating, according to ]. B. Francioni,
swine specialist, extension division,
Louisiana State University. The boar
must not only be pedigreed and of
good blood lines, but above all else
must be a good individual, he says.
The boar is credited with being half
the herd" and he really represents
fifty per cent of the breeding stock.
First of all, the boar must be of
masculine appearance. This is char
acterized by strong head, thick
well-crested neck, well developed
shoulders, stiff bristles and hair lit
tie eoarser than is found in a SOW of
ike weight and age. By no means
select boar with only one testicle,
or with two small, ill-defined ones.
Constitution should be strongly in
evidence.
Select an individual as herd leader
that has a strong, well-arched back,
thickly covered with flesh, good
strong bone, and well developed feet
and legs. The animal should carry
himself upon his toes as the hind
posterns are likely to become weak
with age.

contact with this fluid, and if it turns
red there is no doubt that the patient
no longer lives, for the acid test is
established. Some times it is neces-
sary to wait as long as ten minutes
for the change from blue to red to
take place, but once apparent it is in
disputable. It must be remembered
that this test is useless before the
lapse of six hours, as acidity does not
thoroughly establish itself in dead
body until this time.
It is interesting to recall in connec-
ton with DR. Icard's test that one of
the tests commonly employed under
such circumstances has long been that
of grasping a fold Of flesh with the
forceps and retaining it there for sew
eral moments. In the case of a living
body the ''pIeat" gradually returns to
normal, but when life is extinct, the
compression of the flesh persists. DR..
Icard's test (which has been adopted
in the Marseilles hospitals) has a
double value in that it includes the
physical test of the compression of
the skin and the chemical test which
establishes a state of acidity, thus
making assurance doubly sure" and
removing from the realm of chance
the establishment Of death in cases
where doubt exists.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The fear of being

haunted mankind through the ages.

their last attentions in villages where
there were no resident doctors and

desperately wounded men were Of the

less than two months after her mar

In the "Review of Comparative
Pathology" DR. SEVERN Icard of Mar
settles gives the results of his investi-
cations in progress during long pc
Rod into this subject. His test is
physico-chemical and has to do with
the alkalinity of the body in life. In
other words, as long as life is present
in the human organism the fluids
with the exception of the urine, the
gastric juices and the sweat) are al
kaline. On the other hand, the It's
sues after death are acid.
For a long period after death the
tissues, are both alkaline and acid, and
the litmus paper test shows both blue
and red. But seven or eight hours
after death is supposed to have taken
place the test is positive; if life is
extinct the acid test is unmistakable
and the blue paper becomes a deep
wine red.
This passage from alkalinity to
acidity is found in all the animal Sc
ries, and as far back as 1870 it was
urged as a test for death by French
physician, DR.. Delagree, who pro-
posed in cases where death was doubt
full to introduce litmus paper into
small insicions in the muscular mass.
But this method is likely to be repug-
nant to the family of the subject
an objection which DR.. Icard has ov-
ercome in his experiments.
The latter practitioner has made
use of a very simple method for pro-
curing a few drops of Serious matter
from the tissues without in any way
mutilating the body. He attached
small pair Of forceps to fold OF Skin
and clamps them in place, leaving
them in position for five to six min
utes. At the end of this time the
forceps are removed and in the de
preston on each side of the "pleat
of flesh made by the combining instru
ment are seen to ooze several drops o.
serum. The blue itmus is placed II

in the official reports on the Viola
ton of the Rights of Man." and it has
been established beyond doubt that
Allied wounded were some times Gre
mated by the Boches while still alive.
But these cases were not accidental;
they were the outcome of premdita-
ted savagery.
A comforting thought in the midst
of these horrors is that most of our
fatally wounded men who were not
brought into base hospitals or dress
ing stations before death were left,
perforce, so long in mo Mans Land"
that the possibility of premature in
torment in their case is slight.
Occasionally a newspaper carries a
story of a victim of catalepsy or hys-
terra undergoing narrow escape
from premature burial, and recently
an English daily told of a nurse who
was found in a forest between Berlin
and Potsdam, apparently dead from
an overdose Of veronal, and who was
placed in a coffin ready for burial
Just before closing the coffin the un-
dertaker discovered to his horror that
her heart was beating and removed
her at once to a hospital, where she
was given electrical treatment, under
which she finally opened her eyes and
uttered few incoherent words. Such
authenticated incidents cause the
reader to ask if there is not some IN
fallibIe test of death known to the
medical profession.
There is, of course, one lntallloie
SIGN that life is extinct. But this does
not occur usually until after thirty
six or even forty-eight hours, and 1t
would be better for many reasons to
he able to verify earlier than this the
possibility Of death; therefore, both
doctors and Psychologists have long
experimented with view toward es-
tablishing an indisputable test which
would be at the same time simple
one.

The number Of men who have come
out of the war blinded is far less than
most people suppose. 1t is safe TO say
that the figure of blind veteran polk
ing along with a cane or being led
along the streets was common In the
vision of those trying to imagine con-
ditlons after the war. Somehow, prob
ably because the blinded soldier Is the
most appealing to the feeling of pity
and Is held in special affection among
those wounded, and because of a gem
eral belief that shell shock and gas
sing often destroy the eyesight, the
notion has been prevalent that blind
ness would have a big place In the
casualty lists. This is not true.
The latest United States army re-
port is that DIT men out of the mill
lions we sent into the national service
have been blinded. Small as Is this
total students believe that this figure
is too large. Among the allies the
proportion of blinded men among the

the American rate should not CORE
