Who Wants To Buy A Canal?

BRITISH DEFENCE AGAINST INVASION

BY NAPOLEON Hythe (Kent), Oct. 1. If anyone wants to buy

a canal there is one for sale, a splendid canal filled with real water and good fishing and with an inter- esting history attached. Eight and a half miles of the Royal Military Canal that begins ; at Seabrook, near Hythe, and runs, to Cliff End, between Rye and Winchelsea, will be sold by auction at the Saracen's Head Hotel, Ashford, Kent.

Whoever buys it will acquire possession of one of England's defences, a waterway upon which the whole history of Europe might have depended.

It was built in the anxious days at the beginning of the last cen- tury, when Napoleon was manage ing director of the ancient firm of European Alarms, Unlimited.

GLASS heart that will keep alive any single human?

organ after it has been taken from a body, for an indefinite period, has been perfected by Colonel Charles Lindbergh, the famous airman, with the help of Dr. Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, of New York.

The mechanism consists of three glass chambers connected by a number of tubes. The! whole is one licce of glass.

The bottom chamber of the heart is filled with artificial blood. The second chamber con- tains apparatus for regulating the rhythm of the blood.

In the top chamber is the human organ, heart, kidneys, liver, whatever it may be, which the doctors wish to study under living conditions.

Controlled By Cas

The flow of the "blood" through the robot-heart is con- trolled by gas pressure pulsated by compressed air and a rotating valve.

The same "blood" is used over and over again. It has nil the properties of real bloud and cun- Lains secretions from various glands of a body.
