How Death May He Determined.

A means of distinguishing death from catalepsy has been devised by Dr. Icard of Marseilles and submitted to the Academie des Sciences. He Injects fluoreecln, a strong coloring matter that is not poisonous, Into the veins. A gramme of fluorescln will color 45,000 litres of water. If there is any circulation the body will turn grass green in two minutes, but the color passes away In a couple oHiours without doing any harm.
