Truth about Tobacco.
What Really Does Who Use It. Discovery Made by
Famous Scientist.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-Theattention of
the medical fraternity has been at
tracted by series of remarkable sci
entlhc experiments to determine the eff
Iect OF tobacco on the human system.
These experiments, it is asserted, are
the first of their kind, and the results
nave proved of high value. Popular in
terest has been aroused by the publ
cation here of the conclusions reached,
coupled with the announcement that
on both sides of the Atlantic the con-
sumption cf tobacco is largely on the
Increase. There have been so many
reports recently of young men dying
and going mad from the excessive use
of tobacco that the experiments to de-
termine its exact effects have been
vested with additional interest.
Ii was at first proposed to use men
as the subjects of the experiments, but
mature consideration changed this idea,
as the amount of tobacco necessary to
produce the desired results would so
shatter the system as to make the sub

downstrokes mean taking in breath.
1t is. in other words, the rise and fall
of the chest reduced to the medium Of
black lines. Looking at it from this
basis. the charts become simplicity
itself. Summed up. the chart shows
the effect of tobacco to be this: First,
slower breathing; second, increased
breathing; third, shorter and slower
breathing: fourth, the breathing con-
sists of merely an infrequent deep
breath or inspiration, more in the ma
ture OF a gasp
1t is generally supposed that that
part of the nervous system Of g. per-
son called the pneumogastric nerves
Is the center, as Is were, of all nerve
inspiration. Without radiations of ef-
feet from them 1t has been believed
that no narcotic could effect the sys-
tenn to any appreciable degree. So,
after the second chart had been made
for the purpose of showing the effect
Of ether upon the system of the rabbit,
the pneumogastric nerves were cut and
another injection was made. The sew
ering of the pneumogaStric nerves
removed them from all possible
communication with the remain
der of the nervous system. 1t was not
possible that they should affect any,
thing at ALL
The result showed, almost as in the
first case, quicker and deeper breath
ing, then slower and weaker breathing,
then failure to eXpel the air from the
lungs, then deep breaths, the escape Of
the air from the lungs without any at
tempt to eXpel it. This shows beyond
question that the affect of tobacco on
the nerves and the entire system of
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-08-23

the nerves were only stimulated To
action In an imperfect way by impure
blood. The cutting off of all possible
nervous impulses from the nerve CEN
tiers causes the respiration to become
extraordinarily slow and this makes
each individual breath deeper. These
deep breaths are undoubtedly due to
the stimulation Of the center of the
blood.
Experiments similar to those of
which the rabbits were made the SUBJ
one tracing Is shown herewith Of the
result, and that is figure VI. Prof,
Morrow says that the dog experiments
were really among fhe'1lrst performed.
and in his inexpenenee, he waited too
long before taking the second tracing.
This explains why the tracing or
chart, figure VI, does not show that
stage in tobacco poisoning where the
breathing becomes quicker. 1t does
indicate, plainly enough, however, the
final and characteristic stages of slow
and falling BREATH with deep gasping
inspirations. nv n *
From these experiments the following con-
illusions were reached:
First-Tobacco stimulates the nervous sys-
tenn in all cases, and in every instance the
smoker sacrifices certain portion of nery-
Gus vitality to compensate Tor the stimulus
thus received.
Second-Nicotine poisoning seems to act
principally upon the respiratory or breath
ing center, eventually paralyZing the ex-
piratory division OF 1t, that which expes
the breath from the lungs, and renders the
whole center insensitive to many nervous
impulses.
Third-The gasping inspiration which
SOMETIMES seizes us and Is often given the
name of spasmodic asthma. is the result of

doesn't it? That is what 1 thought
| Wait and see what you think after I
have told you what the inventor told
me. 1 changed my mind a trif1e. This
is what he said:
The machine is shaped Just as a.
cigar would be if it were three corner
ed. 1t is arranged for four riders, who
sit in the same fashion that two do on
a tandem. They are not directly above
the top center of the machine, but
rather at one of the sides. The method
! Of locomotion has three parts, consist
ing of a Slab-shaped paddle, on each
side, and a screw at the stern which
at the same time acts as a rudder. The
main body of the machine is formed
Of iron, steel and aluminium. 1t is real
ly in two sections, though it appears
to be in but one.
Tiny driving rods connect the gear
ing of the machine with the rear
wheels, so that when the riders do not
care to operate the machine by means
Of the pedals, each presses spring
WHICH is attached TO the lTdHle OI the
machine just below the handle bars.
This opens valve which permits the
entry of compressed air. which is
stored in one of the halves of the
machine. This compressed air acts
as motive power and sets the wheels
in motion.
! The riders of the machine are clad
/ in light suits of diving armor. the sup
! ply Of air being secured from a reser-
vofr that is carried on their backs,
after the fashion of a knapsack Thus
! equipped, they drive the machine be-
meath the surface of the water at any

| to which it is intended to fasten the

ventor says, to fasten the explosive di-

yond peradventure the exact effect
upon the nerves of the nicotine, which
is all there is of tobacco that really
affects us. The apparatus used was
especially interesting, consisting of
what the doctors know as Marey's
tambour. By this apparatus the move
ments of the air in and out of the chest
are recorded on moving surface. A
lever scratches curves on a strip Of
lamp BACKED paper in such a way that
the upstroke of the curve, reading
from left to right, corresponds to ex-
piration, and the down stroke to in
spiration. The depth of the curves is
proportionate to the force of the
respirations; that is, the force of the
breaths taken.
The accompanying chart, which is
marked figure l, shows the respiratory
or breathing curves of a rabbit that is
poisoned with tobacco. The first line
of the figures show the breathing of
the rabbit just after 1t has been placed
under the influence of ether. An in
fusion of tobacco was then injected in
to the bowel of the animal. the first

tobacco poisoning. the effect of the nicotine
upon the respiratory center
Further investigation of the question has
shown that while all the facts stated concern
ing the effect of nicotine upon the nervous
system are true, it lies with the smoker
in measure to- by his manner of life,
offset or nullify the effect of tobacco poison
Ing. A man of phlegmatie, easy going dispo-
sition can smoke heavily without receiving
great harm, while highly nervous person
who smokes to the same extent, Is likely to
injure his health in great degree. AS
rule, man who is much in the open air
and takes sufficient exercise will experience
no i'll effects from smoking while man
who leads sendentary life may suffer
Tobacco would appear, after tolerance has
been established, to be a stimulant to the
heart and the curious combination of a
stimulant and sedative to the nerves. AS
matter of fact, the smoker only imagines
that he is being soothed. 1t is the effect
OF tobacco upon the nerve; centers and the
imparting of the stimulus thus received to
the nerves OF the brain, that gives men the
soothes.

effect of which is shown in the second
line, slower breathing being indicated.
The third line shows the breathing Of
the animal five minutes after the in
lection of tobacco. and the fourth
line, eight minutes after the injection.
Now. observe these lines, and it will
be seen that the breathing has become
quicker again. The fifth line, which
shows that the breathing thirteen
minutes after the injection, indicates
slower breathing again, while the sixth
line shows that eighteen minutes after
the injection of tobacco, the expulsion
Of air from the lungs practically failed,
and breathing was reduced to a mere
gasp the result Of the attempt to take
in breath.

Special to the Globe
PARIS, Aug 21.-The most astonish-
ing bicycle invention Of the decade has
been offered the French government.
The tender is made in good faith as
an idea that will revolutionize sub
marine warfare, but there are those
among naval experts who declare the
scheme chimerical.
This newest Of queer inventions is a
submarine bicycle, but IT'S purpose is
deadly, for it is intended to act as an
agent for the destruction of warships.
The inventor says there can be no
failures, and a few people profess to
adopt his views, but the French gov
eminent is by no means convinced Of
the practically of the idea. Still the
man of genius, whose name is M. Jean
Cher9my, is possessed Of little money
and viii, he says, spend a considerable
portion of his capital in building a
full sized model of his invention and
thus crush all opposition by an array
of stubborn facts. They laughed at
fulton when he invented the steam
boat, says the Frenchman; Edison was
considered insane. Why should he ex-
pect to escape more easily or avoid be-
ing termed a crack brain?
The inventor is a shrewd sort of a
chap. cracked though he may be. Ger
tainly he IS wise enough to keep MANY
of the details OF his machine to him
q self. He has his main idea all planned
out, even to the minutest detail. There
fore, he cannot be accused Of trying to
surround a half developed idea with
mystery Your correspondent took the
pains to see the man, and study him.
in order to judge if there We're any
possibility of his remarkable state
inents having at least a basis of fact.
It is not too much to say that there
are certainly some elements of genius
in what he has accomplished. Whether
his complete plan will be at all prac-
teal, remains to be seen. IT is be-
yond doubt, though, that he will at
least contribute some very interesting
suggestions for inventors Of marine
machines to destroy to consider.
This creator Of unique ideas was In
