I NEW SERUM FOR RESTORING LIFE Several physicians of the Johns Hopkins hospital of Baltimore, Md., are at present experimenting with a serum which they are said to have used with success in the laboratories in restoring cases of asphyxiation and drowning in animals several hours after life has been practically extinct. There appears to be one drawback in the results thus far, however, in that in the majority of instances there have been serious after effects such as high blood pressure or hardening of the arteries. If the serum is to be perfected, and more than likely it will be, the phy sicians are of the opinion that it ca*i be injected in human beings several hours after the accident and restore them to life. In one case the serum was used on an animal that had been apparently dead from drowning for a period of four hours. The animal was brought to life, but it died a short while later from blood pressure. Other cases, report the physicians, have been successful. — Scientific American.

T. Os borne, for the benefit of St. John's A. M. E. Church. The almost fault less rendition of the cantata as an ora torio at Boyd’s Theatre, in March, when it was given before an audience of more than one thousand people, had made the public keenly alert for its presentation as a drama. As a spectacle to please the eye, in scenery, costuming and grouping, Queen Esther as presented Thursday night, left little to be desired. It was a most pleasing spectacle and all things considered, very well done. As a musical production, however, it fell below its high standard set when it was heard as an oratorio. The principal characters were in telligently interpreted by those to whom they were assigned. Miss Min nie Wright’s voice was heard to good effect as Queen Esther. John E. Jeltz, as Ahasuerus, sang and acted the part well. The same is true of Mr. McKinney as Mordecai. Mrs. Maud Ray, as Zerish, pleased her au dience. Mr. Rufus Long, as Haman, was too funereal, and made the part too tragically serious. Mrs. J. W. Moss, as an accompanist, was fine. Her musical ability has been a revelation to the people of Omaha. Like all amateur performances there were minor points that could be criticised, but, taken all in all, Queen Esther dramatized, was a most cred itable production which fully repaid the large audience for its attendance and reflected credit upon the man agement and those w'ho took part.
