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.' " , .

Substances Similar
On Valuable. 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

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.
