man being, we pronounce the person dead
when breathing has ceased and the pulse
is no longer perceptible. The breathing
may be so slight that only by the moisture
of the breath condensing on mirror can
it be known to be going on"
This rising as if from the dead is
called anabiosis and was first discovered
to be one of the properties of minute or
ganisms called rotifers, the worlds earli-
est and crudest type of animal life. To
their resistance to the forces of destruc-
ton the world to-day owes its peopling
with animal life. Bacteria, the simplest
of all plants, likewise show an extraordi-
nary persistence to live. They may be
dried up and crushed into dust, yet they
continue to retain their disease producing
properties.
Polar expeditions have found fish
frozen in blocks of ice, which have be-
come active again upon being thawed out.

insects can also become active after a

affectability or irritability. Dead organ
isms, on the other hand, cannot respond
to environment, and in the authors
terminology, death is a state of infinite
physiological inertia, the biological anti
podes of affectability.
"Livingness is exhibited not only by
entire organisms, but by their constituent
tissues and cells. For tissues and cells
can feed, excrete, produce heat and cleo
trio current, give rise to nti-bodies, and,
finally, produce new elements. The rea-
son for the life of the entire individual is
that each of it's ultimate constituents is
alive
"In judging the livingness of isolated
organs, tissues and cells, we must have
some convenient method capable of being
followed out in the laboratory. The signs
of life in the laboratory are, for instance,
in the case of a muscle-it absorbs oxy-
gen, it gives out carbon dioxide, it pro-
duces heat, it twitches or contracts, and,
finally, it can evolve an electric current.
"Of all these signs of life, the one men
toned last is by far the most delicate.
ter it's gaseous exchanges and heat produc-
ton are imperceptible, can yield distinct
electric currents to that sensitive instru-
ment, the galvanometer. The evolution of
electric current is then the most delicate
sign of life, and it is also the last sign"
In this connection the experiments con-
Quoted by DR.. Carrel, in New York, has
given rise to the belief that some of the
tissues which compose the body are poten-
TALLY immortal. He has taken small pieces
of tissues from living animals, transplant
ed them in what he called nutritive fluids
and kept these tissues alive for long
period of time, entirely apart from the
body in which they originally had been
living. A piece of connective tissue taken
from a chick before Matching has been
kept alive for longer than the normal life
time of the hen. And what is more re-
markable, the rate of growth and multi
plication of the cells did not decrease.
From this science argues that the inter-
action of different tissues, each checking
and counterchecking the development of
the other, leads to death. Whereas, the
unchecked multiplication of any one sort
of cell under the right conditions of food
can continue Indefinitely
Science also believes that to prolong
the existence of man as a whole an at
tempt must be made to discover what are
the organs involved in maintaining the
balance of adult life, and then try to help
these organs when they begin to fail to
function properly.
'It may be asked" writes DR.. Harris,
"can a human being enter into the state
of latent life? The answer is Yes but in
so replying we must recollect the kind of
suspended animation which is compatible
with the delicate proto-plasmic structure
and the complicated chemical behaviour of

to exhibit at the beginning of lecture
on physiology a frog frozen so stiff that
it can be he'd out horizontally by the toe
like a piece of board, yet by allow
ing the frog to thaw it will skip about
at the end of an bour like a healthy
animal.
"The organism in latent life is not
dead" says DR.. Harris, ''for it is capable
of manifesting once more all the vital at
tributes which no dead thing can do. 1t
is, however, very far from being fully
alive, for it may be manifesting none Of
the attributes of livingness, save the pos
sibility of developing a feeble electric
current, which can be detected only by a
delicate apparatus accessible TO biological
experts. 1t is not dead, however much it,
looks it."
Scientific experiments are to be con-
tinued in the hope of cleaning up the
whole mystery of death and finding some
satisfactory means of positively putting
an end to the possibility of being buried
alive.

could not discover the least
symptom of life in him. We begun to
concede he had carried the experiment
too far, and at last we were satisfied he
was actually dead
BY nine in the morning as
we were going away we observed some
motion about the body, and upon exami-
nation found his pulse and the motion of
his heart gradually returning; he began
to breathe heavily and speak softly
=. Still more extraordinary are the narra-
tives of the Fakirs of India, who are said
to allow themselves to be built up in
sealed tombs for weeks without food and
to be alive at the end of that time. Re-
ports of these cases of human suspended
animation are now too numerous and too
well authenticated by European eye-wit-
nesses of unimpeachable integrity to !.
set aside as either in themselves untrue or
as due to collective hallucination."
The Hindu wishing to pass into this
condition of suspended animation COM
poses himself into very calm and impas-
sive state.
He fasts suitable length of time and
makes other necessary preparation. His
ears and eyes are stopped with wax and
his friends then turn his tongue back into
his mouth. Then the spell of narcolepsy
overcomes him, and he can live in this
state of suspended animation and be
brought to life afterward apparently with
out doing the slightest injury to his body.
This suspended animation in man is,

after the heart has ceased beating the or

The fact is, many Of the tissues of the
body live for long time after the body as
a whole is dead. In more technical Ian

case in which person ran the risk of be-
ing buried alive was that of Anna Held,
the famous French actress. During her
last hours her daughter, watching at the
bedside, noticed her mother had ceased
breathing. The physician was called and
pronounced the noted actress dead. In
formation was given to friends and. tele-
phoned to the press for public announce
ment.
Several hours later a change in Anna
Held's countenance was noted. A slight
heaving of the bosom occurred and she
gently began to breathe again. The physl-
clan was hastily recalled and the death
notices given to the press retracted. But
after heroic methods to restore life had
been exhausted she gradually sank to
death.
Medical science now claims in the case
of Mrs. Walter W. Ackers of Los An
geles, literally to have raised her from
the dead by manipulation of her heart
after it had ceased beating for fully three
minutes.
Mrs Ackers while undergoing an oper-
alton for gall-stones died. The physician
in charge, after he saw life had pas led,
thrust his hand through the surgical in
cision made in her side, reached upward
past the visceral organs of the abdomen
and grasped the heart. He manipulated
it counterfeit to its pulsation while an as
sistant physician started artificial respira-
ton. Within ten minutes Mrs. AckerS
heart began to beat, she breathed and
came back to life.
The latest investigations into this phe-
nomenOn have been conducted by Profess
sor D. Fraser Harris, of Dalhousie Uni
versity, Canada, who gives the results of
his laboratory experiments in recent
number of Science"
'To the ordinary person." he writes,
nothing seems easier than to be able to
distinguish between life and death. A per-
son naturally thinks of the entire organ
ism as alive, the signs of its life being that
it is warm, that it breathes, that its heart
beats, and that it is aware of its surround
ings, all of which is in sharp contrast with
the cold, still, unconscious corpse in which
the beating of the heart has ceased for
ever.
"If asked to say whether an animal
lying in the road was alive or dead, we
should at once try to arouse it, stimulate
it, as it is technically called, and if on its
receiving the stimulus, a shout, a pin
prick, touch with the boot, the animal
jumped up or turned over, you would at
once say it was alive; if it failed to do so
you would assume it was dead.
"In physiological language, an animal
on being stimulated, if alive, will respond
in some way or other. If dead, it will not.
Exactly the same reasoning applies to the
isolated tissues, heart, muscle, ETC., of the
body. Response to stimulus is the chief
test of livingness, whether of individual,
organ, tissue or cell.

THE fear of being buried alive has
tormented the human race from
- earliest times, and now and then
the opening of tombs and coffins in grave
yards has revealed most distressing evil
dence that those who were dear to US have
come to life and consciousness in their
graves. Indeed, many have left specific
provisions in their wills to drain their
arteries to make sure that they will not
awakc in the grave. and many wills are on
file which provide that means be tal:on for
Keeping the supposed dead body under
observation to give immediate relief at
the first sign of reappearing life. One
elaborate system of prevention of the
danger of death after burial is shown on
this page.
A very strange fact is that science with
all its research has been unable to sug-
gest any certain and practicable method
for determining positively that death has
really come. Many tests, such as apply
ing a ligh ed candle to the fingers to see
whether a blister forms or not, injection
of fuorescein into the veins, which will
d
is the least flow Of blood, and various
other means have been suggested-but
none of them are satisfactory and
positive.
Scientists have recently conducted ex-
trcmcly interesting experiments starting
at the very bottom of the ladder, and e1
amining into the wcll-knOwn phenomena
of susprnded animation in the animal
wOrld with the hope of finding out more
defnitr facts about death.
1t has long been known that germs,
and indeed fish and reptiles, may be frozen
stiff in cake of ice and yet thaw out
into life and full activity. Everybody
knows that bears and other animals curl
up in the Fall of the year and "sleep"
through the long, hard Winter until they
wake up into renewed activity with the
coming of Spring. This we call "hiberna-
ton
Professor Carrel, of the Rockefeller
Research Institute, has also made many
advanced steps in this interesting study
by demonstrating in his laboratory that
he can keep alive certain tissues and
bones of the human body long after the
corpse has been thoroughly dead and
disSrctpd.
Physicians know, it is doubtless true,
that certain persons have been buried
alive IN the sense that while the hearts
action was still at a minimum they have
h, IN placed in a coffin. Stories of per-
sons yH7id OUT for the undertaken, and
