FRENGH PROFESSOR CHALLENGES DEATH Tells Physiological Delegates It 15 Not Inevitable Boton, Aug. 23 (A—A challnge to the belief that death is inevit- able was laid before the scientists of the 18th international physiological congress today by Eusebio A. Her- | nandez of the College of IFrance, | Paris. He appealed for formation of a world-wide scientific organization to | study means to ‘‘prevent the p'.]L-; nomena of death.” Proof already exists, he said, that death is not altogether so inescap- able as fatalists have taught. Phy- siologists possess evidencé to con- trary obtained by keeping single or- gans alive after death of the other parts of the body. The first of these demonstrations, sald Dr. Hernandez, was made by Prof. J. P. Heymans in 1912, when he preserved life in an isolated head for two or three hours. Recently there have been reports of similar cxperiments in Russia. A human heart has been kept alive for 30 hours after death by Prof. A. Koub- 'llabko, Russian physiologist. Her- nandez said that others have suc- ceeded “to a certain extent in re- cstablishing the general circulation” and that he end Prof. Pugliesc of | Milan have obtained results “not | altogether negative” in restoring | respiration of a dog. No Further Progress Seventeen years have passed, he added, since Heymans told the scientific world how to keep the head alive, but no further progress been made. The fault for this he argued, lies not in lack of ability by present research workers, but in their impatience with the methods of old time physiology. “Instead of using those methods,” he said, “we demand explanation of the physio-chemical phenomena of life and we neglect the patient study of the special organisms of the high- ¢r animals. We need special cen- ters for experimental study of death in which, without explaining the phenomena of life, we may prevent those of death.” Dr. Hernandez said the idea of forming an international organiza- | tion for this study was proposed to him a year ago by the Russian, | Xoubliabko, and that he came to thi congress for the purpose of urging | its adoption.

She had been Despite the fact that she had been in New Britain only a few months and had been an elementary school teacher she was invited by senior high school fraternities and sorori- ties to be one of the patronesses at their socials. Her sister, Miss Katherine Griffin, an English instructor at the sentor high school, was offered a place in the Boston school system, but re- fused it. To teach in Boston is considered the goal of many teach- ers and there is always a waiting list of teachers. At present Miss Griffin because of high scholastic marks in a recent examination is first on the list of English teachers and another New Britain teacher, Miss Emma H. Dawson, is ninth on the list. Miss Griffin was awarded the dedication of the Beehive class book last year. This is the highest honor students can confer upon a | member of the faculty. | RAILROAD CROSSES DEEP QUICKSANDS Dry Rivers Arouse Ingenuity of | Rustralian Engineers | *NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, these over | 100 feet of sand in places, with| fresh water below. | Oodnadatta, the base from which | the construction work is proceeding' northwards across Central Aus-| tralia, is a lonely township on a treeless, lifeless plain. " RUSSIA ON MARKET Several Million Dollars’ Worth| to Go Under Hammer Vienna, Aug. 23 (A—Severat mil- lion dollars worth of rare Russian art treasures will be auctioned off | here in September. The sale was arranged by the com- missariat of fine arts, which is send- ing to the Austrian capital a group of government officlal experts with the object of bringing before the eyes ot European art lovers some of the finest collections of painings and miniatures of Russia. Priceless Collection Offered Among the objects to come under the hammer are a priceless collec- tion of old ikons. Every visitor to Russia is made to feel that these paintings have a sacredness 1n the minds of their possessors altogether different from anything existing in western culture. Not only in every house, almost every room throughout the land there is an ikon of some sort. Once under the czardom, it was re- but in | garded with horror to take the ikon | from its appointed place. tures, once held in every peasant home, are now of- fered for sale in the public market for the equivalent of a few cents. | Failure of the crops for three con- The revo- | | lution has changed this so that hun- | dreds of thousands of sacred ple- reverence i | | secutive years and a threatened fam- | |ine have caused the government to | confiscate church treasures, consid- | ered by Soviet leaders as a super- These are now awaiting buy- | fluity. {ers in Vienna.
