Russian Scientist Tells of Re
markable Experiments And
Their Results.
Moscow.—Prof. Theodore An
dorc Andreiev announces that the
results of recent experiments have
convinced him absolutely that the
dead can be revived.
Prof. Andreiev. who discussed his
scientific work in a public lecture
here this week, described his ex
periments in an interview with the
United Press.
“The principle already has been
demonstrated successfully " he said.
“It only remains to develop the
technique lor. surgeons to apply
practically the results of our ex
periments.’
His astounding claims came ontv
a few months after a world-wide
sensation had been caused by revel
ations of experiments by soviet
scientists in which the severed
head of a dog had been kept ‘alive’
on a plate and made to perform
such natural functions as barking
and blinking its eyes.
The latest announcement of the
scientists, however, paled the dog's
head experiment by comparison.
Prof. Alexander Kulibka. the
pioneer of the research work, who
lias been engaged on it for 30 years,
sustained the contentions of his
colleague.
He said that, provided the heart,
lungs and other essential organs are
structurally intact, it should be pos
sible in the future to revive corpses.
The experiments cover many years
and some of their most interesting
results have been kept from the
public hitherto.
Andreiev told the correspondent
in detail the Macabre story of the
successful revival of a human heart
several years ago. The facts, as he
vouched for them, are:
The corpse, as Andreiev describ
ed it was on the operating table. It
was far past midnight. There was
no sound in the brilliantly-lighted
little room.
Andreiv bent over the corpse and
began Injecting ringer-lokke solu
tion and adrenalin solution around
the heart tissues. He was surround
ed by a group of assistants, leaning
tensely over the table. Suddenly
the chest of the dead man began to
heave with violent heart beats. A
gurgling sigh issued from the
throat.
The hardened laboratory assist
ants were unnerved and ran away
in fright. Andreiev remained along
with the resurrected heart,- which
continued to beat for 20 rilinutes.
The experiment, Andreiev said,
was repeated on later occasions, but
because of the natural public ob
jection against tampering with hu
man corpses, the experiments were
carried out, chiefly with dogs, which
are hot-blooded ‘ animals, malting
the results of the experiments an
alogous to those on human beings.
Andreiev said that many times he
has killed dogs by extracting blood
or injecting poison or diphtheria
germs, then' reviving them. In one
case, he said a dog that had been
resurrected died several days later
from diphtheria which had remain
ed in its system.
Andreiev said the most remark
able case was that of a dog which
had been killed by poison and re
vived. Several months later, the
dog was kiled again and revived.
Thereafter he continued to lead
a normal life.
Both Andreiev and Kuliabko
warned against exaggerating their
work. They said the majority of
deaths involve the basic destruction
of essential organizations, making
revival impossible. Only when the
organs are intact, but for some rea
son cease functioning, may live in
the future by restored by science,
they said.
Kuliabko, who as far back as
1908, revived dead fish and kept
animal and human organs alive
while separated from the parent
body, described some deaths as
merely '’more serious cases of
fainting.”
Andreiev pointed out that the
science of electro-cardiagraphy re
cently has proved that life lingers
after the so-called "clinical death,
that is, after the cessation of
breathing and any sign of pulse. A
remarkable series of electro-cardio
graphic charts of corpses immedi
ately after death made in Moscow
by Dr. U I. Fogelscn show clearly
that the heart was alive. In one
ease, palpitations were recorded an
hour after the man had been pro
nounced dead.
The interval gives physicians an
opportunity to revive the heart, al
though Andreiev has revived many
hearts after palpitations had ceas
ed completely.

Hoards Which Once Echoed Hoar
Of Mighty Racing Car
To Be Sold.
The Charlotte Speedway, from
whose boards echoed the mighty
roar from powerful racing automo
biles as they swept like tiny streaks
around the track in times past will
soon be only a memory.
Famous the nation over from as
sociation with such idols of the
"roaring road” as Tommy Milton,
Leon Duray, the late, Frank Lock

ers. The old saucer is being dis
mantled for the good timber and
steel it contains.
Announcement of its doom was
made Monday by Lee Ja. Folker,
member of a group of three Char
lotte men who purchased the prop
erty less than 2 years ago. The
recent death of C. C. Qoddington
left but two of the o”iginal group
which also included B. p. Heath,
another well-known figure in the
automotive field here.
The famous structure, once gazed
upon by thousands of racing fans
from all over the country, now pres
ents an almost ghost-like appear
ance as it stands forlorn and de
serted and about to be forgotten.
The stout timbers that once proud
ly supported the cars of DePaolo
and McDoneugh and Comer and
others as they raced for supremacy
now make queer and lonely whist
ling sounds as the winds sweep
through them.
To Sell Timber. c» -
The timber and steel salvaged
from the structure, Mr. Folger said,
will be sold off the site. The work
of dismantling will move forward
as rapidly as the material is sold.
The timber will be graded and
stacked, ready for delivery when it
is purchased.
A. M. Griffin, of Baltimore, Md..
representing a salvaging firm is in
charge of the dismantling process.
He estimates that some 10 months
will be required to take away the
entire structure.
The .speedway, which cost in the j
neighborhood of $380,000 when
erected, contains more than five
and one-half million feet of lum
ber. A great portion of this tim
ber, according to information, is in
good condition.

Easter And Jewish
Passover Related
As To Its Origin
(By Janies A, Wilson).
The first Sunday after the first
full moon after the 21st of March
Is always Easter Sunday, and com
ing coincidentally with the Jewish
Pass-over which is a movable feast.
Many ancient and mythological
rites have been joined to the
Easter celebration All the world
joints to the celebration of Christ
mas and Easter though all the
world is not Christian. About thirty
five hundred years ago. clown in old
Egypt on the River Nile, the Jews
held the first Pass-over. Old Ktng
Tut-ank-amen, had been embalm
ed and placed in his tomb some
years before. Joseph had taken his
father's family down there during
the seven year's famine in Canan,
and through lvis prominence in
state affairs had placed his eleven
brothers on some of the most fer
tile pasture lands in Goshen. They
were shepherds or cattle men. Their
numbers increased very rapidly.
For that reason they were placed
in bondage to Pharoah, and work
ed continually for the government
of Egypt. Later, all male children
were ordered destroyed to check
their Increase. At this time Mo6es
was born, and his mother, placed
him in a little basket, that would
float, on the river, where the prin
cess, Pharoah's daughter with her
maids came to bathe. The princess
found the babe, and had him edu
cated in the palace and all the
learning of Egypt. He would have
succeeded to the throne and could
then have set ills people free with
his own people Instead. After lie
was eighty years old he was called
to lead the Jews back to Canan.
Pharoah refused to let them go.
Then came the plagues, and the
last was to be the death of live
first born in every Egyption family.
The Jews were commanded by
Moses lo kill a lamb and sprinkle
the blood on the door posts of their
homes and all who obeyed that
command were spared when the
death angel passed over that night.
Then Pharoah sent them out in
haste for fear they.would all soon
be dead.
Moses lead them across the Red
Sea (not on the ice as the colored
preacher said) toward Canan. So
the Jews celebrate this feast of the
Pass-over in remembrance of their
deliverance from Egyptian bond
age. Christ and his disciples went
to Jerusalem and observed this
feast in an upper room Thursday
night. On Friday he was cruified
and buried in Joseph's tomb.
But early Sunday morning while
it was yet dark the two Marys
went to the tomb and found It
open. The angel said: "He whom
you seek is not here but is risen.
Come see the place where the Lord
lay." So the Christian world ob
serves Easter on this date which is
the same as the Jewish Pass-over.
Now, if you could go into old Jeru
salem very early next Sunday
morning you would not see any
morning star but electric lights in
stead coming from power lrom the
River Jordan. Many worshipers
will be there from all parts of the
world and many things will appear
just as they did nineteen hundred
yearn ago. But late in the evening
the evening star will appear in the
west, in all Its brilliance, shining
through the desert air. and as it
sets in the west over the Mediter
ranean 8ea, the pate moon will rise
over the Judean hills out of the
midsts ot the Dead Sea, where
Ncbo and Pisgah cast their shad
ows. and making of tire River Jour
dad a silver thread and the Sea of
Galilee a sparkling gem. For ten
centuries the Turks have held the
Holy Land. But just before the
armistice, General Allenby and
Lawrence with the English arm.v
entered Jerusalem anu wua
Palestine for the Allies. The Peace
Conference placed it under English
supervision Allenby and Lawrence,
appeared up in London one night at
some royal reception. The door man
asked for their names. Lawrence
said "Leonine and Trotksy,' and as
such they were announced, but we
have not heard yet whether the
English saw the Joke or not. But
those two men with their faithful
followers, many of which were from
the deserts of Arabia made it pos
sible for the Christian world to wor
ship again at the Shrines of the
Holy City, Jerusalem.
p g—just as 1 finish this it is
announced bv Radio, Associated
Press news, that 500.000 Orthodox
Greek Catholics in Bessarabia will
refuse to celebrate Easter on March
31. but will hold to the old dute,
May 1.
J. A. WILSON.
Woman Mayors.
From The Smithfield Herald.
Some weeks ago, a number, of the
papers in the state commented upon
Maysville's woman mayor, as being
the first in North Carolina. It was
pointed out that Wilmington really
enjoyed this distinction, when Mrs
J. H. Cowan succeeded her hus
band at his death. In this connec
tion it is interesting to note that
Smithfield now claims as one of
its citizens a woman, who at about
the time Mrs. Cowan was mayor
of Wilmington, was mayor of a
town not far distant—Rose Hill.
Mrs. Harvey Boney, principal of
the Smithfield high school, was the
mayor of Rose Hill for two years
and did the job well.
Purchase Shoulder
Corsage For Easter
When your flowers tome Easter
morning and you find that your
beau hn, sent an old fashioned
waist corsage, be nonchalant—put
them in a vase.
"That's the advice that will be ac
cepted by Milady because she knows
—and hopes that her gentlemen
friend knows—that, the waist cor
sage went out along with waistlines
and womanly figures and that well
dressed women in the Easter parade
will be adorned with attractive
shoulder bouquets.
Such is the information received
from florists of the city who are
now in the midst of taking orders
upon orders from men who want to
be sure and do their Easter shop
ping early.
There was a time not so long ago
when a woman felt herself for
tunate if she had a waist corsage
but that was when women were
wearing enough clothes that they
had something to pin them to. But
in these days of three-piece dress
ing about the only way to keep a
wuist corsage on would be to tie it
with a rope—or to pin it to the
skui.
Necessity being the mother of In
vention, smart stylists realized that,
this condition must be remedied and
accordingly there is the shoulder
corsage. .
It can be worn either on the
street or in the evening and is not
inconvenient at dances. To this fact
is attributed much of the shoulder
corsage's popularity.
