THE HEART MECHANICAL MoToR.-Les
Mondes attributes to Dr.. Marcy the re-
cent demonstration that the heart acts like
all mechanical motors, in that the frequency
of the pulsation varies according to the re-
sistance which it meets in driving the blood
through the vessels that is, when the re-
sistance becomes greater the throDs diminish,
and, on the contrary, they accelerate If the
opposition becomes less. During life, the
action Of the nervous centres makes itself
felt Oh the heart, of which it renders the
pulsation slower or quicker. whatever may
be the resistance experienced.
DR.. Marcy is said to have eliminated this
nervous influence by removing the heart of
an animal and causing it to work under
purely mechanical conditions. Thus, the
heart Of turtle was arranged with system
of rubber tubes, representing veins and ar
teries; calt's blood deforinated was caused
to circulate, and registering instrument
noted the amplitude and frequency OF the
movement of the organ. When the tube
containing the blood leaving the heart was
compressed, the liquid accumulated in the
rear of the obstacle, and the heart emptied
itself with greater difficulty, the pulaations
weakening perceptibly; on relaxing The
pressure, thus allowing free course to the
blood, the throbs accelerated rapidly.

1sr,rrscr OF rue COMET ON THE GEE

INFLUENCE OF THE COMET ON THE GERMAN
V1STAGE.-The news just received from Ger
MANY seems to promise that the comet of
1874 will leave behind it 10 the wine coun-
tries a pleasant men orial of its visit. A cor
respondent, writing from Ehrenbreitsteip,
states that the vintage in the Rhine and Mo.
sele districts, especially where the highest
class of wines are produced, is likely to COM
pensate for the disastrous years of 1859, 1870
1871, 1872, and 1873. In the favored spo,
known as the Rheingan no such quantity has
been recorded since the celebrated comet
year Of lSl1.-PaH Mall Gazette.
Unfortunately for this theory, 1872 was {
comet year. On the 18th of August of thai
year it was predicted by some savant or.foo
(whicbever you choose) that the comet would
strike the earth. On that day great storm
passed over New York, and many though,
the world had been hit and was abou to be
destroyed, not knowing that within few
hundred miles (here in Richmond, for exam.
ple) there was clear weather.
Since 1911 there have been many comet
years; but people who have theory to boil
ster up are rarely scrupulous as to the means
of doing it..

If we will arouse ourselves we can elect a

the negroes are generally lukewarm since
DeMortie withdrew, because the negroes had
celestial dreams of having member of.their

The white people of Virginia, especially
