side as the gear-wheel mounted on
the shaft. The two fixed gear-wheels
are adapted to engage the pinions al
ternately.
Upon rotating the gear-wheel shaft,
the pinions are made to revolve. When
the lower pinions are in mesh with
the smaller fixed gearwheel, as shown
in the section, they roll off on this
fixed gear-wheel, and therefore the
disk carrying the pinions is made to
revolve on the shaft on which it is
formed When, by shifting the disk
shaft, the upper pinions are made TO
mesh with the larger fixed gear-wheel,
then an opposite motion and different
speed are impaired to the disk shaft,
as the upper pinions roll off on the
larger fixed gear-wheel. If, on the
contrary, the disk shaft be rotated,
then the disk carries its pinions around
and they then roll off on either of the
fixed gear-wheels, and consequently
cause the shaft gear-wheel to rotate
the shaft upon which it is mounted.
When it is desired to change the
pinions, the coiled spring in the re-
duced end of the disk shaft is made to
yield longitudinaEly, so as to permit
both shafts to be moved closer to-
gether or farther apart, depending
upon the size of the new pinions.

BLOOD CIRCULATION.
New and strikinely Original Theory
Advanced by n Western PhysI-
clan and student.

A new and strikingly original the
ory of circulation of the blood has
been advanced by DIR. NJ. j. Kodermund,
of Appleton, Neb., ia paper read by
him before the National Electrical
Medical association.
DIR. Rodermund denies that the heart
is pump by whose muscular contrac-
ton the blood is sent through the
system, pointing out that the heart
in order to do this would have to ex-
ert power at every pulsation equal
to so pounds-an equivalent of 100000
pounds every hour. This is an energy
sufficient to raise its own weight 20, 900
feet every hour, an energy, the doctor
says, which an organ of the size Of the
heart would be utterly unable to ex-
ert
Instead Of the blood carrying oxy-
gen through the system, it is the
oxygen from the air that sends the
blood bounding through all the minute
capillary blood vessels, exactly re-
versing the old theory that has stood
for nearly three centuries. In other
words, it is the oxygen we breathe
|
tricity.
1t is well known that all positive
electric bodies proportionally repel,
while all negatives and positives at
tract each other; hence, this oxygen
or electricity, both elementarily the
same, is one of the chief agents and
means of life, and is introduced into
the system by breathing. This air
when breathed charges the air cells
of the lungs while the iron in the
blood attracts the oxygen; this
charges both the air and the blood
cells positively, and thereby generates
a powerful self-acting propelling force
by each repelling that in the other.
lhe function of the heart, instead of
propelling the blood, is the reverse
that is, to regulate and not to propeI
the blood, but to hold this electrified
fluid in check, otherwise it would cir
culate too fast to perform its life work.
So it follows that if you want to labor
hard with brain or muscles without
exhaustion or injury, breathe abun.
dainty of good and pure air which con-
tains the normal amount of oxygen,
for it is only oxygen that is taken
up in the blood. 1t is the invigorator
of life and all functions of the body.
Get lots of pure air into your lungs
is Dr. Rodermund's advice, and your
blood will circulate all right. Get it
awake and sleeping, too, and you'll
never have the blues. Sluggish cir.
culation of the blood is due chiefly
to a lack of fresh air, he says, and il
you wish to be healthy, wealthy and
) wise breathe plenty of oxygen.

The cut shows plan for using an ex-

CURE FOR INCIDENCE.
Which Is AmenRbIe to Rational
Scientific Treatment.

4 French doctor declares that indo-
lence is weakness of dyspeptics and
neuropaths, which is amenable to
scientific treatment. He divides in
dolent people into various classes and
proposes to treat each case according
10 its special symptoms. He looks
upon the Indifferent indolent as hope
less, but believes that the remorseful
indolent, especially the intermittent-
ly indolent, are more or less open to
cure. The first thing a physician
should do is to change the sudden fits
of industry, which exhaust the brain
energy, and give only partial results,
into regular steady work. The doc
tor should impress the patient with
fixed, guiding idea, and then form
habit, or, in other words, substitute an
automatic act, which is easy, for a
voluntary act, which is difficult. To
be really effective, this habit must be
emphasized until it borders OH
mania, and one of the most important
details is that the time for work should
always be the same. The best time
OF the day at which to acquire a habit
of works is the morning, directly after
rising, when the brain is clearest. The
greatest care must be taken not to
overtire an indolent but willing pa
tient. One ours work day is quiet
enough for -.-n to begin with. The
time shoul6. be gradually increased
but neyer'',o such an extent as to
produce exhaustion. A short walk
or meal, or rest. may break the
spells of work, and the ruling idea
should be to have clear knowledge
of the aim in view and to limit the
time for work, for people usually work
best when the time for eXertion has
fixed limits.
