_Curious Method of restoring to Life, in two Minutes, a Fly that has
been drowned even twenty-four Hours._
This wonderful experiment, like many others, is produced by a very
simple cause. Take a fly, put it in a glass or cup full of water; cover
it so as to deprive the fly of air; when you perceive it to be quite
motionless, you may take it out and put it on a place exposed to the
sun, and cover it with salt: in two minutes it will revive and fly
away.
