DR.. sENECA's LECTURE.
Physiology snd H~ygisns-The CIrcuia.

Aou
DIR. Seneca Egbert delivered the FIRST
lecture OF his course on Physiology
and Hygiene" In the lecture hall at the
Academy one evening recently. He
devoted his attention TO the circulation,
relationship OF heart and blood vessels,
etc. and said, In part:
The circulation OF the blood Is main.
tanned continuously, and for the most
part by the action of the heart, which
Is a physiological force pump, but the
elasticity of the arterial walls. muscu-
lar contractions and respiratory AZ
piration all assist In keeping up tns
onward flow. The current Is slower In
the capillaries than In the arteries and
veins because OF the increased friction
In the former, and because the COM
bined sectional area OF the capillaries
is much greater than that OF either
arteries or veins. The slower flow OF
blood through the capillaries prolongs
the physiological interchange and AZ.
ton OF the blood az Il passes through
them. The high blood pressure in the
arteries is due to the frictional resist
ance In the individual capillaries aud
to the overfullness OF the vessels.
These factors In turn convert the in
termittent injection and flow of blood
from the heart into the arteries into a
steady flow Without pulse In the capil-
laries. The pulse volume is from 2 To
z fluid ounces. II 3h fluid ounces, the
entire blood OF the body will pass
through the heart In about fifty beats,
or In less than one second. Hence
the rapidity with which a person NAV
bleed TO death when a large artery ia
cut.
The return on back flow OF the blood
Is prevented by the valves OF the heart.
which are most adequately designed for
the purpose. The sounds of the heart
beat on listening over the cardiac re-
gion OF the chest are due to the action
OF these valves. In addition TO which
the first sound Is also partially due
to the muscular contraction of the
yentricle walls. The habltual use OF
alcohol or other drugs that stimulate
the heart tend to do harm, because
they increase the strain upon the heart
and lead to Its hypertrophy. Proper
physical exercise. on the other hand.
Is beneficial. and tends to improve the
tone and condition OF the heart.

Vows Recorded In Frames

In many churches OF Provence and
Italy, especially those near the sea, ex
vote paintings placed on the walls In
accordance with VOWS made by pill
grims In moments Of danger are often
remarkable for their frames. Among
the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed OF ~splinters from ships
that have been wrecked; also frames
made OF pieces OF heavy cables, oc-
casionally painted bright hues. but
sometimes left in their primitive gray
color, splashed with tar. Nailed to the
laths surrounding a painting repre-
senting sailors fighting with fierce saw
ages may be seen African or Poly
nesian spears and darts, or swords
made Of hardwood, evidently memen-
toes of terrific struggles. Sailors or
landsmen who have made VOWS during
times of peril at sea, and who have no
trophies to display, will surround their
paintings with broad bands OF wood
heavily incrusted with shells and sea-
weed, not infrequently OF rare and ex.
tremely beautiful kinds.

r%ittsburs Cats Are In Demand for serv-
loo In the Philippians.
The fame OF Pittsburg's cats has
spread to the far East and II il not
proposed to import some OF "A special
breed into the Philippines. The i'm
menss cold storage depot Just finished
at Manila Ia In need of cats and II Ia
the Intention TO supply that establish
ment with Pittsburs animals. Eos
years the managers OF the Union Stor.
age company have been worried by
rats. At frst they confined their depre-
dations to the goods In the milder ell.
mate OF the general storage rooms.
Here nature came 10 their aid and In q
few generations the rats and mice be-
came so clothed in black fur that they
seemed impervious to cold. To rid the
warerooms OF these pests was q trou.
blesome task for the owners Of the
storages-houses. They could use cats
In the general warerooms all right and
with success. but when they placed the
cats In the cold storage-rooms they
soon contracted pneumonia and died.
The damage done by the rodents was
very great n about five or six years
x the Union Storage company expert
mented with a view to finding some
breed of the feline tribe which could
live In the cold climate Or the storage,
rooms. IL tried a pair OF high bred
cats. but they soon sickened and died
Finally a pair of white felines without
a pedigree were obtained and placed In
the storage-room for a time and then
taken into a room where the tempera-
ture was gradually lowered. The cats
showed no Ill effects and soon could
stand n temperature as low as zero.
The offspring OF these cats could stand
a temperature much lower than their
parents and their fur was much thick
er than their predecessors. A few gen.
erations later a distinct breed of cats
resulted. able to stand the lowest tenn
perature ever maintained In the stor.
age-rooms. The question of killing on
the rodents was thus solved. The cold
storage cats are short tailed, with Iona
and heavy fur, the hair frequently be-
ing an inch long. Their eyebrows and
wbiskers are long and thicker and
stronger than the ordinary cats. Tbs
cold storage cat looks much like the
