A Singular Case of Resurrection By F. A. MITCHEL The investigator* of the Rockefeller Institute may be very proud of them selves. Indeed, they have reason to be. They have substituted live parts of the human body for dead parts; they h*ve set heart substance beating out side its proper place in a man's breast. If they keep on they may in time make a man out of parts of other men. But if the stories of what Indian fakirs have done in keeping persons alive in a comatose condition for many years is •true these Rockefellers or scientific fellers or whatever they are have yet much to learn from an antique and ap parently undeveloped civilization. There is a story going the rounds among the undergraduates of a certain university which, if it can be substan tiated, puts the modern scientific inves tigator to shame. Arnold Gereau. as sistant professor of chemistry—he has charge of the laboratory—is one of those phenomena who spring up once in a century. He is very young, and it is well known that he was born with certain mental powers, a certain su pernatural knowledge of things on which many a man has studied for a lifetime without making any progress whatever. Will bur Stockbridge, a member of the class of 15, so the story goes, one day went to Professor Gereau with a yellow bit of paper on which was writ ten in old English style: This is the body of William Arbuckle. private In his majesty's —th foot. Cap tured in the patriot lines with maps show ing our fortifications on ths upper part of Manhattan Island. He was condemned for a spy. An Indian serving with the aaxns regiment—he had joined It at Singa pore—proposed to General Washington to put the man to sleep for an indefinite peri od instead of executing him. The general, who was averse to the execution, consent ed, and Arbuckle was turned over to the Indian, who claims that any time after fifty or even a hundred years life will stljl be in the body. But not one mta in mAny millions will be able to effect a resurrection. Young Stockbridge told the professor that in excavating for building pur poses on the upper part of Manhattan Island on property owned by his family a tomb had been discovered containing the body of a man in British uniform of a former period. The paper had been found in the lead coffin in which the body had been buried. Gereau—mind you, I don't vouch for this—arranged with the student to bring the find to the laboratory, which at the time was closed on account of ! the spring recess and would therefore be at the professor's individual dis posal. No one has attempted to give the process by which Gereau manipu lated the remains of Private Arbuckle, but it is claimed that he effected a resurrection. The professor avers that he worked on lines which are being followed by modern scientific investi gators. He must have had an inkling of the method by which animation wag suspended by the Indian or he would not have been able to restore it by reverse action, which, he says, he applied. He gives as a fundamental principle that the Indian knew how to suspend—not kill—the action of the heart, and Gereau restored the pulsa tions, which are the basis of animal life. Whether the story is true or false there is one part of it that fits in with modern scientific investigation. It is said that Gereau found that certain members of the body had suffered from the long suspension of their func tions. The resurrected man showed signs of decay, and the professor fear ed that, though he had remained in an ordinary condition of health for more than 130 years, he would die within a few hours after resurrection. A test was begun of different organs, and the first tested—the kidneys showed decay. Gereau at once tele phoned to the College of Physicians and Surgeons for a pair of sound kid neys and, removing the ones affected, introduced the new ones. He supposed for some time that Arbuckle had died under the operation, but half a bottle of Irish whisky brought him round. The liver was next taekled, and half of it replaced. There were other parts tq be substituted, but.those mentioned were the principal replacements. These operations required several hours, and another hour passed before Private Arbuckle spoke. Then he opened his eyes and cried out in a voice that seemed to come through dry leather: "Corporal of the guard!" Gereau was delighted. It looked as if he might save his patient, for while the man had doubtless been deanimat ed in good health his being brought back to consciousness was not only a difficult matter, but a dangerous one. There are several versions of the rest of the story. Some say that Arbuckle was sufficiently restored to remember and speak of his expected execution. Others aver that Gereau. finding his breathing defective, worked his arms vigorously, but in spite of his efforts the man died. It is said that at one time Arbuckle sat up and was given a stiff drink. Raising the glass he shouted iu a horn like voice: "To his gracious majesty King George. God bless him and confound his rebellious subjects!** Stockbridge and Gereau hare both been asked to make a statement, but have refused either to affirm or deny the story. It is suspected that they are afraid of coming under the ban of the law. which might involve thsm ID a charge of murder. . Sheriff's Sales By virtue of certain writes of Fi. Fa. Vend. Ex. and Lev.

No one who is at all observant of the ways of animals can have failed to notice how gentle large dogs, like the 6t Bernard and the Great Dane, are to their smaller canine fellows. It Is rare that a big dog turns upon one of the little fellows, no matter how aggravating and snappy the latter may be. Instead, he invariably treats the small dog's antics with unruffled and dignified tolerance. For there is a recognized code of etiquette among animals, if you please, quite as much as there is among human beings. In truth, there are not a few respects in which the animals ec* give points on politeness and gooA behavior to man htmsslf Th Slmpl* LW*.

MARTHA WASHINGTON'S WILL Its Plsmoval Pram Pairfax Courtbauaa and Its flaoovary by Virginia. The will of Martha Washington, re cently returned to the state of Virginia by J. Pierpont Morgan, was taken from the Fairfax courthouse in 1862, when that part of Virginia was occu pied by Federal troopa. A lieutenant colonel of the Union army whoee head quarters were in the courthouse found his men shoveling a pile of papers into the stove to build a fire. He stopped them and on examination discovered the will. It wag among hi* papers when he died in 1892, and thirteen years later his daughter sold it to the late J. Pierpont Morgan. The lieuten ant colonel was David Thomson of the Eighty-second Ohio Volunteer infantry. The state of Virginia learned about the time the will was sold to Mr. Mor gan that it had not been destroyed, and efforts were made to recover it. Sev eral years ago the state authorities found that the will was in the posses sion of Mr. Morgan and wrote to him demanding its return. He refused, say ing it was contraband of war and as such the man whose estate had sold it to him had a right to keep it and the estate the right to dispose of it as it ; saw fit After the elder Morgan's death the Daughters of the American Revolution began to agitate for the return of the historic document to Virginia, and the state itself threatened prosecution of the holder on the ground that it was stolen property. Mr. Morgan replied that his only desire was to place the will where it would be kept more care fully than was possible in Fairfax courthouse. Virginia asked the su preme court of the United States for leave to file a suit in behalf of the state against J. Pierpont Morgan for the recovery of the will. The state of Virginia figured in a sim ilar suit over the recovery of certain documents, including a letter of La fayette and an address by George Washington to the Virginia house of burgesses, when an agreement was reached in 1912 between the heirs of Benson John Lossing, who held the papers, and the state, whereby the mat ter was arbitrated. Gu. Hernia* Koveas van Kovesska, the Conqueror of Montenegro WHEN WASHINGTON REJOICED Gavt Way ta Transports of Delight When French Aid Approached. It was while they were sailing down the Delaware from Philadelphia to Chester that Roehambeau and his oth eers saw the dignified Washington give way to transports of boyish delight, we learn from the diary of Baron Closen. a Frenchman who served with Roeham beau. Washington stood on the bank as they approached, "waving his hat and a white handkerchief, apparently in token of great joy." Scarcely had Roehambeau landed when Washing ton, usually calm and reserved, threw ! himself into his arms and disclosed the great news—that the French Admiral De Grasse was close at hand and would blockade the Chesapeake while Corn wallis held himself on the defensive. Soon after De Grasse showed that Washington's rejoicing was not unde served by crippling the English fleet under Ilood and Graves and again bot tling up the Chesapeake. In the mean time the allied armies had begun the siege of l'orktown, destined to settle the future of America. The Americans were unaccustomed to siege operations, but Roehambeau. a veteran in such matters, proved invaluable, and the in vestment went on apace until, on Oct. 19, 1781, the final assault was deliv ered and Cornwallis surrendered. 'SnI SSlSsf ■nfi f jflgSgaßjflf In the days that tried men's souls, when danger and death were at the door and difficulties pressed on every side, Washington, born to command, to ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm, discovered to the astonished world that in the wilds of America had been raised a hero equal to the mighty task of working out the salvation of his country —Captain Samuel White, 1800. * British Tributes to 2 m George Washington CALLING George Washington "the greatest Englishman of his cen tury," many Britons have join ed Americans in paying homage to the firs (♦president of the United Btates, whose birthday we celebrate on Feb. 22. In many, if not all, of the Washington's birthday fps ; tlvitiea held in London by the mem bers of the American colony in the j Iwitish capital. Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotchmen and Welshmen hare shared. Although at first Washington was reviled by the British as a traitor to the British king, under whose rule Washington was born, it was not long after the close of the American Revo lution and the winning of American independence that the British writers and orators began paying tribute to "the first American." • Perhaps the greatest of all the praises won by Washington from an Englishman was that penned by John Richard Green, the famous author of STATUS OF WASHINGTON DT SIB FBANCIS CHANTBY, ENGLISH SOULPTOB, IN THE MASSACHUSETTS BTATEHOUBK. the "History of the English People." "No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life." wrote Green of Washington. Some of the other tributes paid to Washington by Englishmen are the following: "The test of the progress of mankind will be the appreciation of the charac ter of Washington," said Lord Brough am. "All I can aay," said Gladstone, "is that I look upon Washington among great and good men as one peculiarly goo
