Dr. fMwtn iJo Dunn of Pnamilo, N. J.,
makes the Hiinoiinceiiipnt regArding the
time honored ntnletiicnt thnt a man him
died from lurk of breath thnt If brenth
Kim nil he needed h ahonld have lived.
Considering that nir in the tnoet nli-n-tifnl
resource of niitiire, having, as polit
ical economists would nay, no value bn
cause of its .abundance, one would think
that Dr. De Daun had made no particu
lar discovery. Hut there is more in his
statement than is apparent at first.
From time immemorial physicians
have directed their infrennity toward an
effective application of this wealth of
air. but without satisfactory results.
Cases of susended animation come un
der their notice every day. Men are
rescued from the water after a hard but
tle with the waves, their luns filled with
water, the life's action suspended. In
the majority of instances restoration of
animation cannot be effected. The lungs
may be emptied of the water; the life
giving air, so almndnnt, is nt hand and
if it could only be forced into the organs
and respiration started life could be re
newed. Physicians' efforts to solve the
problem have been unceasing, bnt, says
Dr. De Daun, misdirected.
When a man is rescued from the wa
ter, the first thing done is to empty the
lungs of water by rolling him on a bnr
rel or lifting him from the ground head
downward. Then he is laid on his
back, the arms raised to expand the
lungs and a ryhthmlo contraction and
expansion of the chest walls effected by
alternate pressure and relaxation. Some
times the forcing process has been kept
np for hours with ultimate success, but
considering the possibilities recognized
in artificial respiration the results have
been far from encouraging.
Dr. De Bauu has worked on an entire
ly new line, and the result of his experi
ments and observation is ft method of
internal respiration, which, he claims.
cannot possibly fail. His attention was
first directed to the subject by a case of
suspended animation in a newly born
child. It has been the practice in such
cases to force air into the lungs of the
infant by breathing into its month and
then contracting the lungs by pressure
upon the chest. Bnt this has been found
not only intensely disagreeable, bnt high
ly inefficient.
Dr. De Bana decided to try a new ex.
pedient. He passed small rubber tube
through the nose of the infant and down
into the throat. Closing the month, he
forced air through the tube from a rub
ber bag, inflating the lungs; then, releas
ing the pressure from the month, found.
as expected, that the elasticity of the
muscles of the chest caused immediate
contraction of the lungs, forming com.
plete respiration. This was kept np for
43 minutes, when natural respiration
had been restored, and ft life had been
saved. Since then Dr. De Baun has per
fected this hastily Improvised apparatus
and finds that animation may be often
restored within 14 minutes.
The apparatus is as simple as It is in'
genious. It consists of a long rnbbor
tube, near one end of which la a piece of
soft rubber with which to cover the
mouth and nose. At the other end are
two rubber bnlbs. After the tube has
beeu inserted between the teeth, and the
mouth and nose covered slightly, the
lower bulb is compressed, forcing air
into tne second bulb, which acts as a res
ervoir. This second ibnlb is much more
elastic than the other and maintains a
steady pressure of air through the tube.
It ia -covered with loose netting, which
acta a sort of safety valve against
overpressure. The tube is fitted with a
stojKwk that may be used to. lend force
to the-Jirst few respirations.
A few compressions of the lower bulb
are sufficient to fill the lungs. Then the
pressure on nose and mouth is relaxed,
ami the iungs are emptied by the nat
ural elasticity of the snuscles of the
chest. This elasticity remains even aft
er deaths and with this instrument it ia
quite possible to make .dead man
breathe regularly as long as the applica
tion continues. In some of the doctor's
exieriiaents on dead bodies this simu
lation of iliCa has been absolutely star
tling. J t is not for dead men, hammer, that
the "insufflator," as it is called, has been
devised, bat for men who hav been
- brought apparently to death's door by
asphyxiation from gas and water. In ths
latter case tbevlungs must first ha emp
tied. The apparatus weighs but a few
ounces. It is &ot patented, as Dr. De
Bann is a strict .observer of medical eth
.ios, which declare that the diaoomries
. of a physician belong to the world. He
.Is treasurer of tbextate board of medical
.examiners of New Jersey and has in
vented several valuable surgical instru
ments and duvfaea.-v-New York World.

THE WONDERS OP ATOMS.
r.rrn the ftmnUmt ".park Vlalhlo Contains
Minimis of Partlalaa.
There are but few persons outside of
the ranks ot the biological students that
have any idea of what Is meant by the
expression "an atom of matter." When
the microscope Is applied to the exami
nation of living tissue, whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable Jife, it
Is soon observed that all living things
urn mndo up of minute bodies called
"organisms." Experts in the varions
brunches of biological research will also
tell you that no essential difference can
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the sum total of
animal life ami those which Rive the
Vegetable its existence. These life cells,
llthongh wonders within themselves,
are mndo up of minute particles called
"atiins," which are so small thnt they
must ever remain Invisible to the hu
man eye. Somecrlltcal reader will say,
"If this last remark be true, how can
It be proved thnt such Infinitesimal par
ticles as your so called 'atoms' exist?"
To this ipiery the reply would be that it
is only when an untold number of these
atoms unite themselves so as to form a
single body, like the grains In a pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi
ble and then only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish.
This being the case, it is not an exag
geration to say that every little piece of
matter which we are able to see ts built
np of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken In aggregations of thou
sands. There are, of course, many dif
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc., each of
which Is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they prohalily diffei in shape as well as
site. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu
tual attraction, which Is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity, according as the atoms are of
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr
iads of these atoms of all sixes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de
grees of intensity to bnild np structures
possessing all the various degrees of
stability and solidity. Some of the most
wonderful theories ever advanced on
the atomic theory are by Sir William
Thomson, the English scientist. In one
of these articles he proves by three dif
ferent tiainsof arguments that an atom
cannot be greater than the one one hun
dred .and fifty millionth of an inch nor
less than one-five billionth of an inch.
