AMAZING TEST
Electrocution of Sheep DETERMINING SHOCKS For seven year#, it is now revealed, scientists in the Bell Telephone Laboratories, America, in co-o[>eration with physiologists at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Centre, have been electrocuting sheep and restoring them to life a. few minute# Inter by administering counter electric shocks. The same animals have died over and over again without being in the least affected. The experiments have lieen conducted to determine the varying shock responses of different organs, and thus ultimately to prevent accidents from electrical shock. Sheep were chosen because some of their organs are similar to those of man, and because they arc easy to replace as laboratory specimens. At present resuscitation is possible under laboratory conditions only, and application of the experiment on human beings is considered impracticable because of the time element and (he equipment needed at tine scene of the shock.
