SHOALS

Almost 1000 pounds of fish
were caught in few hours by
a party who were fishing at Mas
cote Shoals, yesterday. The catch
consisted of three mackerel, three
kingfish, 10 bonito and 20 jacks.
The jacks were the largest
caught this year, running form IL
to % pounds and all Of them were
in perfect condition for eating.
In the party were County Clerk
Ross C. Sawyer, Sheriff Cleveland
Niles, Benjamin Sawyer, Merville
Rosam and Captain Joe johnson.
The members were so tired "play-

he had a hard pulling fish on his
line, said 81 hope I lose this one
and he did. After the line slack

Armando Alfonso, aviator. fly

flying in the vicinity of the naval
station when he discovered fault
that needed immediate attention.
He made a perfect landing at

Dead Hearts Brought Back To Life
By Electricity Injected With Needle
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

by IN w <1NLS W. o&<fNEA4-0A<lAs
ASSOCIATED Press Science Editor)
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Elec-
trocution stops the heart, but the
opposite of electrocution, a tiny
current, sometimes will cause a
dead" heart to beat again.
By using this discovery, Albert
S. Hyman, M. D., of New York
City, devised an electric needle
which has restored life to many
dead guinea pigs and rabbits, and
recently to very few human
beings whose hearts had stopped.
Hyman's needle is a new method
of doing something practiced by
physicians for many years, events
so rare in medicine that they are
called miracles" when the public
happens to hear about them, but
whose grand total is an impressive
number.
Restores Beat OF Heart
The needle restores the beat to
hearts which have stopped on ac-
count of shock. This happens most
commonly in operating rooms, in
street accidents. sometimes in
drowning and on battlefields.
Surgeons sometimes have re-
stored the beat of such heart by
squeezing it. More lately hypo-
dermic needle injections of the
powerful stimulant epinephrin, or
adrenalin, directly into the heart,
has restored life to many persons.
There are $50 records of such at
tempts in medical literature with
about so of them successful.
Hyman's studies convinced him
that in the drug injections it was
mostly the prick of the hypoderm-
ic needle in the heart which caused
the renewed beat. He was able to
show that the prick caused one,
and usually only one, beat. If the
lone artificial beat caused the
heart mechanism to ''click" again,
the patient came back to life.
Repeats Artificial Beats
He found that an electric shock
of the right sort caused dead
heart to beat once every time
the current strikes, and in animal
experiments that this repeated ar

tificial beating was much more
likely to restore life.
Many others, including himself,
had previously experimental with
electrical currents, sending them
in fairly broad impulses through
the heart. The trouble with these
widespread currents was ten
dency to act like the electrocuting
current from the electric chair.
The new needle produces a cur
rent flowing across a spot in the
heart not much wider than the
point of a pin. It is a very tiny
current, about one-thousandth part
of volt. The needle is hollow.
and the current flows down wire
in the middle, and back through
the outside tube.

Dir. Hyman's theory is that this
needle initiates nature. He calls
it the 'pacemaker." 1t is named
after real section of the heart,
some muscular tissues in the upper
left hand part of the heart, which
seem to act as .'pacemakers" for
the regular beating. Tests show
that extremely minute electrical
currents accompany the action of
the hearts own "pacemaker.'
The new needle substitutes an
artificial electric current after the
natural one has ceased. The man
made current flows anywhere from
80 to 120 times a second, produc-
ing that many artificial beats, the
number being regulated by the
physician.
