TO REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS
Must Be Kept Up Despite SEEM
Ing Discouragement.

DR.. S. Jellinek, analyZing the effecta
Of severe electric shocks received by
contact with the electrified wire fences
during the World war. wrote in Elek-
trotechnik und Maschinenhau that an
important factor was the state of pre-
paredness Of the victim.
Experience, says the Scientific Amer
lean. has shown that shock
which was likely to prove fatal if
received unexpectedly was harmless
when anticipated. Experiments on
animals have confirmed this impress
sion and have been instrumental in
showing that physiological effects of
shocks administered with direct and
indirect current are distinctly differ
ent.
1t is also remarked that a close re
semblance to death after shock should
not be accepted too readily as proof
Persons apparently dead have not in
frequently recovered when artificial
respiration was applied. 1t is best
to give the victim the benefit Of the
doubt.

Early Irish History.

In the earliest time of which there
Is any record. Ireland was inhabited
by tribes Of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit
ons of the larger island and the Gauls
of the country now known as France.
Each tribe had its chief, and after a
time supreme monarch came to the
front One of the most famous of
these was Brian, who overthrow the
invading Danes in the battle of Clon-
tart fought in the year 1014 near Dub
lin. He was slain in his tent at the
close of the fight After his death
the supreme monarchy was often In
complete allegiance, misrule and an
archy widely prevailed and the ancient
form of society was largely broken up.
1t Is said that Roderick O'Connor. son
Of Turlough, was the last of the mon.
archs of Celtic Ireland. From that
time the influence of Anglo Normans
increased.

PATENT OFFICE BUSY PLACE
last Year Broke All Records in the
Number of Inventions That
Were Filed,

Last year was a record year in vol.
ume if not quality of Inventions. Ap-
pllcauons for patents reaching the
patent office during 1919 approached
the unprecedented number of 10000,
Elore than any years output. The In.
crease grew with the year. Aaron
Hardy Ulm writes In the Nations
Business. Those for the third quarter
exceeded by 81 per cent receipts Of the
same quarter in 1918.
Invention, of course, did not sus-
pend during the war, but, at least IN
volume of production, it diminished.
And great proportion of that which
did function related to war objects.
But at noon on November IL, 1918, the
great war became as ancient to the In
ventor as the Peloponnesian conflicts
of long ago.
In October, 1919, there reached the
division of the patent office handling
metailurg1cal inventions a total Of &C.
applications for patents. In one dlvi-
sion handling chemical subjects-there
are several chemical divisionS-4S9
applications were filed in the agricul-
tural implement division, 354 applica-
tons arrived; and the division dealing
with vehicle wheels and such appurte-
nances received 729 applications, about
one-half of which related to resilient
tires. This last item discloses the fact
that inventions for the automobile In
dustry best reflect the current work Of
the patent Office.
In October, for instance. AL appl!ca-
tons went to the division that handles

Vegetation Carpets Sudan River.

The search for convenient ways of
transportation by which the products
of the Sudan may reach the outer
world attracts attention to a remark
able phenomenon of vegetable life on
some of the head waters and tribu-
taries Of the Nile. This consists of
enormous GroVths of papyrus and
other plants completely covering the
streams and forming carpets of vege-
tation two or three feet thick, be-
meath which flows the water. Naviga-
ton by small boats is of course, pre-
vented by this obstruction, which is
in places supplemented by vines and
overhanging plants that arch the
streams from bank to bank. Heavy
floods occasionally sweep away the &C
emulation of plants, but they are
quickly reformed.

MAKE HEROES OF ENEMIES
is WAY OF THE ENGLISt

have come to the conclusion that
he three favorite characters in his
tory of the average Englishman are
George Washington, William Wallace
and Joan of Arc. Now the remarkable
thing is not that all three were enc
mics of the British, for any generous
spirit can forgive vanQuished enemy.
But they were victorious enemies, and
it requires an almost superhuman vir
tue to forgive a triumphant foe.
The Virginian rebel who took from
the British empire its most valuable
colones the fierce Scottish borderer
who made possible Scottish independ-
ence and inflicted most humiliating
defeats on the proud armies of King
Edward; the French peasant girl who
frustrated the whole purpose Of a
hundred years of war and made for
ever vain the dream of an empire on
the continent of Europe-such are the
heroes of British fiction and British
verse.
cannot find that other nations
have shown a similar appreciation of
those who triumphed over them, no
matter how noble their characters
might be. In Vienna they do not sing
ballads in praise of Garibaldi. The
Louvre does not contain many paint
ings of Andreas Hofer, the Tyrolese
hero who fought Napoleon. Kosciusko
has had some kind words from Rus
slams and Germans, but he does not
rank as highly with them as with the
Poles. The Spaniards are resigned to
the independence of Holland. but they
are not quite SO enthusiastic about
William of Orange as the Dutch. The
Germans do not sing the 'Marseillaise'
(save for Socialist purposes) or the
French The Watch on the Rhine but

IRISH MODERATES'
DELEGATION IS TO
SEE LL0YD-GE0RGE
(By Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Aug. 21.-All moderate.
sections of opinion in Ireland are
greatly interested in next Tuesdays
conference called to enable every
shade of home rule sentiment to unite
in a statement to Premier Lloyd
George relative to the future govern
ment of the island. This statement
will, in particular detail what meas
ures short of republic will keep Ire
land within the empire and which,
though possibly opposed by the Sinu
Fein, may satisfy the general body of
Irish opinion.
The meeting, while suggested by the
dominion home rulers, will be open
to every section and group and will in
clude many men who until six months
ago were identified with the Unionist
cause.
May Demand Withdrawal.
The main point for discussion will
| be whether a demand should be made
| for a complete withdrawal OF the Irish
| bill now before the House of Com
mons. or whether an attempt should
be made to graft onto it wide extern
sion of powers, especially regarding
| finance, which would make it accept
able and workable.
The party headed by Sir Horace
Plunkett favors the complete with
drawal of the bill and the establish
ment of a convention elected on pro
portional representation from all o.
Ireland to put forward a joint Irish
plan. Stephen Gwinn, former member
of the House of Commons and hi:
| group believe the governments com
mittments to Sir Edward Carson, tht
| Ulster leader, would make this i'm
practicable. They suggest detailed
amendments to the government bill
that would strengthen the power of thu
Central council by assigning to it sucl
departments as agriculture, railroad
and postoffices, which concern all Ire
| land.
Others Hold AIoof.
An attempt has been made to assc
J ciate with the meetings leading Irish
;, men, who, though not declared SIM
' Feiners, are in the conference of tina
> organization.
1t is regarded as certain that Prem
. Ter Lloyd George will receive deputs
