Iven the use of '‘adrenaline,’’ the heart-injeection fluid said to have restored ‘ life in certain other cases, has failed in . lests on electrocuted persons. Dr. Amos O. Squire, physician at Sing Sing prison, N. Y., experimented with 20 electroe' .ed prisoners and found it im- | possible to restore life. He explains: ""At | most of our autopsies we are able to pro- r duce f'brillar contraction of the heart by i .touching the wali with an instrument. I And sometimes we can produce this [or over an hour after death. The injection i of a solution of adrenaline chlorate in the heart wall after electrocution does not produce any contraction of the heart { musele, soitis impossible to revive life | by this meaus after electrocution’’ --Ibid.

S. geological survey has sent an expedition to search for oil in the vicinity of Point Barrow, Alaska, with a view to- ward establishing on outpost oil reserve for the navy. They are making the sur- vey over 35,000 square miles of part- ly frozen tundra 8 vamp —an area four times that of Massachase.s, For many years there have been rumors that a great undiscoversd oil field exists in that section of Aluska. Traders have brought word from Point Barrow that at certain seasons great lakes of almost pure vase- line, the residuel of high grade seepage, became apparent in the wilderness of half-frozen swamps. On the application of the navy d2part- ment, Sscretary of Interior Fall with- drew this area frnm the puablic d main and marked it off as ‘‘Naval Ol Re- serve.”’ Later the geological survey sent a party of 18 men to investigate. The trip will cost about $30,000. /. wireless station has been erected at Point Barrow to keep the party in touch with tha rest of the world. The open season in that latitude is only about 70 days of the year. ‘The survey takes the expedition within 1000 mi'es of the North Pole. —The Path- finder, Oct. 24th. NEW TANK DRAGS GUNS.
