1 - J. 3 i 1 Replacement of Hearts May Result From Research Moscow (UPD-Replacement hearts for victims of heart dis ease may result from experi ments being carried on with dogs at the laboratory of grafting specialist Dr. Vladi mir Demikhov, 43. Demikhov, who has at tracted the attention of the medical world in recent months with his two-headed dogs, announced Sunday he .has successfully added an ex tra heart to two dogs and homes to try the operation on humans. On Oct. 16 and 23, the doc tor completed grafting opera tions on two stray dogs named Andrei and Svetlana. Both hearts are still beating in both ' animals. He said he hopes to try the - same operation on one of the many persons who have vol unteered "before the end of the year or the beginning of next year." ;. He intends to attach the spare heart to the patient's system by his own grafting ,' process. The "heart will remain . outside the patient's body un , til Demikhov is sure it is . working, then will be inserted .inside the body. It will either ease the load on the diseased heart or replace it completely. ' People Die "Many people die from heart , attacks and heart dis- -ease," he said. "We may be able to give the heart ox a - young man to an old man and thus prolong his life. Or we - could stop people from dying of heart attacks when they are young." The doctor has performed 21 head grafting experiments, in which a spare head is at ' tached to a dog and both heads continue to live and function. His latest was in his 'laboratory Sunday. A huge black dog had the brown, fuzzy head of a puppy grafted (. to his neck. r.,i- The twin-head dogs showed ' no effects of the operation other than a bandage where . the incision had been made. Dogs will not be used in - another unprecedented oper ; ation Demikhov plans. He '. hopes to graft a leg from a . dead person onto a young woman who has lost a third - of one of her legs in an acci dent. l U. S. and Canadian , fam- ilies are expected to spend more than $8 billion for new appliances this year-10 per cent more than in 1958. To reach these buyers, manufac turers of housing equipment and supplies spent more than $28,297,000 in daily newspa- . pers last year.' " , . I IT'S I i ' i?3 . - - TO S 3 ' ' " m - ' i - .

Other Worthless It would be difficult to say just how many tons of amar oucium have been carried away from ocean beaches by hopeful folks who secretly think they have "hit the jack pot" by discovering a "hunk" of valuable ambergris. There is some similarity in outward appearance between the two substances, but amar oucin is plentiful and worth less, while ambergris is scarce and very valuable. A By-Product Ambergris is a by-product of the digestive system of a whale and is used in the man ufacture of fine perfumes. Amaroucium is really a large colony of animals, .called as cidians, all living together in a clump. The colonies are of various shapes and sizes, de pending on the number of in dividuals banded together. Usually, too, the 'outside of the colony is semi-opaque, or even at times faintly trans parent to a shallow degree, which heightens the illusions and. the hopes of those folks who pick up the clumps, thinking it might be amber gris. Small colonies of ascid ians also grow on the stems of sea-weed, on shells, pilings, or may occur in great blobs on the ocean bottom. Pieces of this large mass may break away, to be later washed ashore, and found to be so much like people have heard 0 - i HOP Time -,. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins ambergris is, that the pieces are secretly hurried to some one who can identify it. Even when discouraged the finder may persist, and may even keep the stuff until the - ani mals begin to- decompose; then the odor of decaying flesh convinces him. Like Gelatine Amaroucium is a massive compound ascidian that re sembles gelatine. Often it is highly colored with reds, grays, blues and deep pur ples. The mass is irregular in shape, but usually with a smooth surface; especially if it has been water washed, which removes the marine growth, leaving the material shiny, like a piece of cello phane. Small shells, sand and pieces of sea-weed are often imbedded. To the touch the mass feels like rubber. The ascidians are imbedded in the gelatine-like material. Ascidians are simple, de generate animals with a sac like ; body. Some of them will shoot' out a stream of salt water when touched; these are called "sea-squirts." A large , group of these, as sembled together in a mass, is usually the amaroucium. Ambergris floats, ' and has a mild fragrance; usually it is a grayish color, and of course of irregular shape and size. Your chances of finding a piece of genuine ambergris are pretty slim.
