It is nearly 800 years since Harvey
demonstrated that the blood circulates
in the blood vessels. During these
centuries all teachers on the subject Of
physiology have maintained that the
heart was pump and by its muscular
contraction propelled the blood
throughout the body.
DR.. Rodermund insists that this
theory is absurdly false, and an abso-
lutte physical impossibility.
According to his thesis the heart has
no more to do with the propelling of
the blood through the arteries than
the stomach or liver.
az am convinced" he writes, that
the power which propels the blood is
received through the lungs and not
performed by the heart. My first for
chile thought that the heart does OF
propel the blood was in observing the
pulse Of sick people. We find in the
sick that the weaker the patient and
the weaker the action of the heart the
faster the circulation. Again, we have
a very quick circulation Of the blood
where the pulse is as full and strong
as in the healthy subject. Take, for
instance the circulation in children.
The younger or more delicate the child
the faster the circulation. Tracing
these we'll known facts to foetal life,
1t is still faster, but at the birth of
an infant we can notice several
changes that are strong and incontest-
ible evidence in demonstrating the
power that propels the blood.

that the heart does not move the
blood or force its circulation; that
the air one breathes is the incentive
to blood action, and that the heart
relatively acts as a mere governor Oh

DR.. Rodermund is evidently bold ana
sincere, for he wrote the following TO
a Chicago member Of the profession
who asked for full explanation of his
theory:

few persons are at least becoming IN

ored by the coast. Before the Duke OF
the Abruzzi's expedition the ascent had
been more than once attempted, as Dr.
De Filippi mentioned, all from the Pacific
side. Mr.. Topham. a member of the
Alpine Club, got up about 800 feet;
the district had been surveyed by parties
from Canada and from the United
States; in 1891 and 1892 the Pacific side
had been mapped, and in the lattsr year
Prof. /. 9. Russell's party got Us high
as 1900 feet. The Duke and his COM
panions landed near the foot of one of the
lobes of the Malaspina glacier in Yukutat
bay, and after short journey got upon
the wide ice field of that glacier.
DIR. De Filippi described their progress
across it, illustrating the scenery with a
number of excellent photographs as Ian
tern slides. The route taken was neees-
sarlly circuitous; the earlier expeditions
had shown the inutility for attempting
to scale the great precipices which directly
face the Pacific, SO the travellers bore
mounting diagonally, and at first slowly,
over the great tributaries which stream
down from its huge eastern spur. Pro-
gress at times. owing to the broken ice,
was very slow. For nearly a fortnight
the average advance was only about a
mile ana half a day. The weather also
was for while very bad. Nevertheless,
in spite of it, they continued to move on
ward. At last the ascent became sleeper,
and after nearly months labor they
gained this depression-12, 2S7 feet above
sea leyel-on the eastern side of St. Elias,
betwean it and Mount Newton. Here a
magnificent panorama was disclosed, in
cludfng Mount Logan and other huge
peaks. They left their tent on this pass
soon after midnight, and reached the
summit quarter OF an hour before noon.
The ascent presented no serious difficulty,
except that for the last 1000 feet they
suffered from the rarifed air. The view
was superb; they looked over a perfect
sea of great snowclad mountains. In
reaching the peak they had spent thirty
days on snow and ice; the return by the
same route took only ten. The photo
graphs gave an excellent idea of the won
derful scenery OF this district, which diff
ers IN two respects from that of the Alps
-one, that the great mountains rose
from the vast expanses of almost level
glacier as if from sea; the other, that
the peaks are so much more thickly loaded
with snow. The mountain is not, as has
often been stated, a volcanic mass. From
DR.. De Filippi's account of the expedition
it is clearly one in which only well-pro-
vided party can hope to be successful.

ASCENT OF MOUNT ST. ELIAS.
Account of the Duke of Abruzz.'s Climb

(From The London Standard. }

DR.. De Filippi gave to the Alpine Club
a very interesting account of the ascent
of Mount St. Elias in July last by the
Duke of the Abruzzi, Signor V. Sella,
himself, and Others Though this peak
has now lost the honor of being quite the
highest in the frontier zone of Alaska and
Canada, for Mount Logan certainly over
tops it by about 1000 feet, and may be
slightly inferior to one or two others,
still it is unsurpassed in the grandeur OF
it's situation. The highest part of the

that they do not get enough. A growing
boy will eat more than grown man,
and the growing calf wants enough, or
it will not be growing calf.
Another idea that should be taken
into consideration is the ultimate pur-
pose for which the calf is intended. #
it is only for veal, then it should be
got fat, but for the dairy purpose,
then all its feed should be with the aim
Of growth rather than fat. A wisa
teacher tells US to train up child when
it is young and when it is old it's train
ing will not depart from it. Just SO
with a calf. If, when it is calf, it is
trained to lay on fat, when it is old it
will still have the same tendency, and
its feed will go to fat instead of the
milk pail. For this reason skimmilk is
manifestly better for calf than whole
milk if the dairy is to be its purpose,
for the tendency of skimmilk is to pro-
duce growth and lean meat rather than
fat, and this tendency in later years
will cause the COW to turn her feed into
milk rather than fat.

The Danger of Paint.

DR.. James Law reports an interesting
case Of poisoning by lead, which he re-
Gently observed. He found several sick
cows, suffering from nervous disorders,
in a herd from which one had but re-
Gently died. An examination of the dead
animal revealed nothing, but glance
at the new tub silo gave the reason. It
had been painted inside with thin
coat Of lead last summer, the knots be-
ing coated again. The acetie acid, de-
veloped in the ensi1age, had dissolved
some Of the paint, forming the poison
ous sugar of lead, lead acetate. By
prompt treatment Of the sick animals
they were saved, but one in the herd,
apparently well, succumbed suddenly,
making the second victim. Coal tar
would have been safe and quite edectual

Upsetting Natures Laws,

Any animal that is in healthy con-
dition will, if it has enough to eat, lay
on fat. 1t may take great deal Of feed
to make a small amount of fat, but only
keep On and ultimately it will get fat.
Thus any one who is in the business Of
fattening cattle has nature back of him,
and the kind of animal with which he
is working is not of such vital impor-
tance.
But in the dairy the case is entirely
different. The milk COW is an unnatural
product and her tendency is to go back
to the original state from which she
came. And if the highest measure of
success is to be obtained there must be-
constant combating Of natures laws.
We often hear it advised that the heifer
at her first calf should be milked as
long as possible to strengthen the milk
ing habit. This is because of the fact
that we have just stated, and it is ad-
vice that should be we'll considered.
But the most important bearing Of this
fact is upon the feeding of the COW. If
by liberal feeding we force the heifer to
give large quantity of milk, we there
by strengthen the tendency to give milk
in the later years of her life, and this is
not only true of the heifer with her first
calf but also of the older COW; the more
we train her to give milk the more she
can be made to produce. So that we
may safely say that COW that has had
liberal feeding from her calfhood up is
worth more, very much more, than if
she had been poorly fed. Which way
are you training your COWS?
