months after the fife of the human
body from which they have been re¬
moved has ceased. For six years
ti'ese experiments have been going
and now that they have been
on the world of
completed and verified
medicine has Hie opportunity to
itself of the discovery.
Dr. Carrel began to experiment
, v jth the lower order of animals. A
j.jflue of the heart of a chicken pul¬
sated and was alive for as long as
104 days after it had been removed
from tdie fowl and microscopic ex¬
amination revealed the fact that
(onnective tissue was growing from
it five months after removal.
From the chicken he turned to
the guinea pig, and from that to the
dog. then to the horse, later to the
babe, and finally to man. In each
case then 1 was no failure and step by
jitep he improved upon the media in
which he placed these tissues until
he has nine methods of preserving
life of structures which have been
removed from the body. It is neces¬
sary to have as many of these as pos¬
sible, Dr. Carrel explained, for some
tissues will grow better in one me¬
dium than they will in another.
According to Dr. Carrel, the dis¬
covery practically revolutionize the
Iheorit s of animal life. Dr. Carrel
said that he has proved that it is
possible to transplant after death
lie tissues and organs which com¬
pose the body that has ceased to
live into other identical organisms.
In this transfer no death of the tis¬
sues occurs and after they have been
Jiade a part of another body the life
in them continues as though it had 1
been there from birth.
Among the media which are used
to preserve these tissues are iso¬
tonic sodium chloride, chloride so¬
lution, Locks’ solution, Ringers’ so¬
lution dcfinbrated blood serum, con¬
fined humid aid and vaseline. The
color and consistency of these tis¬
sues remain perfectly normal six, sev¬
en and in some cases ten months af¬
ter removal. Dr. Carrel said ,he made
microscopic examinations in every

Large Volume of Business Is Now
Being Placed In Southern States.
ATLANTA, GA., June 22 .<—Figures
compiled from the books at the cap¬
ital in the archieves of the state in¬
surance department, show -that a lar¬
ger proportion of fire insurance in
Georgia is being placed with home
southern companies this year than
-ever before and the belief is ex¬
pressed that statistics for 1912 will
show a similar condition in other sou¬
thern states
It is believed that the doctrine of
keeping southern money in the south
instead of draining the section by
sending it north and east is responsi¬
ble for this progress of southern in¬
stitutions.
The tremendous importance of
this gradual change may be under¬
stood in the light of the fact that
for the thirty years prior to 1909,
premiums amounting to .seven hundred
and seven million, six hundred and
ninety eight thousand, three hundred
and eighty seven dollars were paid
out in the 14 southern states and
that of this great sum only about
sixty eight million was received by
southern companies.
With the firm establishment of
southern companies, however, which
rank with any in the north and east,
the proportion has been steadidly im¬
proving.

stage of his experiments and proved
conclusively that life was present in
every instance. He then placed them
in cold isoratge and there they con¬
tinued to live and grow and were ther
used to replace diseased tissues in
the human body to ascertain if they
would grow after they had been trans¬
planted. Clinical reports showed
conclusively that they did, .so that
with the experiments completed and
verified it was possible to inform
the professien that the institute was
prepared to supply them on short
notice.
Several of the country's famous
surgeons hare been using these cold
storage tissues for the past few
months. Dr. John B. Murphy had
occasion only recently to rush an
order from Chicago to New York
for a cartilage which he wanted to
use in a case of knee disease that
he was about to operate upon. T he
cartilage was shipped by express in
a tiny refrigerator, arrived safely
and was used. The patient recover¬
ed the. use of his leg and is walking
about as though he had never had
trouble with it.
This advance in surgery simpli¬
fies the methods of transplantations
of skin and bone Surgeons used to
graft skin from one living creature
to another. They used to scrape
tlie leg of the dog and strap the
animal to the patient, but now' sci¬
ence has given the surgeon living
.skin, living bone and living glands
that are most essential to life, and
all he has to do ds to break the seal
of the refrigerator and place the
part in position and it grows.

Will Remedy The Present System of
Land Valuation.
ATLANTA, GA., June 22.—At the
coming .session of the Ge'rgia legis¬
lature which convenes next Wednes¬
day, it is highly probable that the
Tax Equalizers bill of Senator W.
J. Harris of Cedartown, will come up,
and should it pass remedy the pres¬
ent system of land valuation, which
as former Attorney General Hart
put it is like passing around the
hat and every man put in what he
pleased.
The bill wajs reccomended by the
finance committee of the senate last
session. It provides, for equalizers
in each county, whose duty it shall
be to not only equalize aid property
that is given in, but see to it that
every persons return is made.
There is a provision also for a
board of equalization who shall equa¬
lize the takes of all counties so
that tbe value of lands in different lo
calities, but of the .same intrinsic
value, shall bear the same taxation.
As the matter now stands, it is pos¬
sible and customary in most cases
for the returns made on property in
adjoining counties to be widely dif¬
ferent.
CITIES OF SOUTHEAST ARE
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.
The Columbus Index, published at
Columbus, Ga., for the great South¬
east, says:
“Bond issues voted and projected
in cities of the Southeast this week
aggregate $2,105,000, all of this large
sum being intended for public im¬
provements.
“This illustrates the progressive
ness and prosperity of this section of
tie country and the constant efforts
to make cities and towns desirable
and attractive places of residence.
“The industrial advantages and op¬
portunities in the Southeast are gain¬
ing more and more the attention of
the entire country and the vast, rich
resources of this section are being
developed constantly and on a con¬
stantly increasing scale. The public
as well as private, upbuilding in the
cities and towns is keeping pace fully
with all this. Construction of pav¬
ing and of water and sewer systems
is occupying the attention of a great
number of municipalities.
“St. Petersburg, Fla., has voted
$200,000 of municipal improvement
bonds. The city council of Tampa,
Fla. has taken favorable action re¬
garding a proposed election upon the
issuance of $$1,700,000 of bonds. Oth¬
er cities will vote upon bonds issues
as follows: Adel, Ga:, $60,000; Con¬
yers, Ga $60,000; Leesburg, Fla.,
$30000; Valdosta, Ga., $100,000.
“Among the items of
work to be done, as reported this
week are:
“Three buildings for educational
institutions, State of Florida; church
buildings, Atlanta, Jackson and Ash
burn, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala.; col¬
lege building, Oxford, Ga.; jail, Cal¬
houn county, Alabama; hospital buildj

TWENTIETH CENTURY" EVENTS.
United States Senator Bacon, of
Georgia, believes that counting life’s
span by achievements, rather than
years, the average man of the twen¬
tieth century leads an existence ev¬
en more chock full of vital events
than Methuselah, the prize “oldest
main” of the Scriptures.
In substantiation of his ‘heory, the
senator cites those modern labor and
time-saving devices that enable the
ordinary man with many calls upon
his mind and body to transact aj for¬
midable volume of business. Among
them he listed the local and long¬
distance telephone, stenography and
the typewriter, telegraphy and rapid
transit, concluding, to quote our cor¬
respondent at Washington:
“Using the other labor-saving, time
destroying, distance annihilating de¬
vices, the aictive man of today ac¬
complishes more in the ordinary span
of a lifetime than he could in "twen¬
ty cycles of Cathay.”
The senator’s hypothesis is borne
cut in the daily routine of nine out
of ten business men. The entire
world is living in an age of phenomi
ral intensity, and perhaps in no oth¬
er country is the principle more dra¬
matically and faithfully carried out
than in America.
We have buitl up big and little bus
inesses, and girdled the globe with
the fame of our achievements, sim¬
ply through the ability, to quote
ling, to “fill each unrelenting
with sixty seconds of distance run.”
That American brain and
ty have led the world in the
tions and “short-cuts” that
our day one of tangible
