1.-THE question is often asked, What class
of women does the country mostly re-
quire? 1t Is not an easy question to an
sWer, since 1t is not so much the social
status Of the woman as her physique and
personal health. A girl with neurotio
tendencies would be as much out Of place
in South Africa as a butterfly ina boiler

girl that is, required; the hardy type COM

IL Is absurd to suggest that the only at
traction South Africa can offer is that Of
a husband. True, there are thousands of
young men waiting to offer themselves in
that capacity; but the great attraction is
the best-work.
IF anything, this fatal facility for mar
rage which the newly come girl acquires
is a distinct drawback, since it often hap
pens that employers. after going to a
great deal Of expense in procuring stenog-
raphers, women clerks, shop girls and
general servants from England, find it is
so much money wasted; for no sooner

South African employers, however, are
often prepared to advance the passage
money conditional upon the signing of an
agreement to the effect that the employee
will remain a certain time in their serv-
ice and will consent to a small deduction
monthly to cover the cost of the passage.
Living is fairly expensive, and there are,
so far as I know, no living-in establish

South Africa, in spite OF employers pre-

(Which, however, no employer strictly en-

one considers the appalling scarcity Of
women In South Africa.

portance of a fuller knowledge of the
hearts condition by means Of its own &C.
ton and its inherent force that I deter
mined to make further efforts to accom-
plish an undertaking hat I had COM
menced some years before, namely, the
perfection of an instrument to record the
hearts pulsations.
1.-The knowledge that I had obtained
from the use of the sphygmograph, an IN.
strument designed to record the hearts
action by pressure force on the arteries,
was of some benefit to me in my under
taking. The sphygmograph. by arterial
force, registered the pulsations Of the
heart by a Der in zig-zag lines upon paper
which is moved by clockwork or some
other motor continuance.
'"The mere writing Of the pulse is re-
garded, however, as a very small part OF
what is required to make a full investiga-
ton of diseases of the heart and the man
ner in which the circulation oAthe blood
is effected.
It instrument that I have perfected
shows not only the regularity Of the ac-
ton of the heart, but the force of its
beats and the pulsation of the blood as 1t
is driven through the arteries. The motive
force supplied by the heart itself in my
machine is sufficient and adequate to set
it in operation.
'My instrument shows the rythm Of the
heart beat written IN ink on a tape OF
paper quite similar to that of a stock
ticker. A holder, into the end Of which a
pen has been inserted, moves back and
forth across the paper tape as it is played

From the cup and projecting up through
the rubber cap is a glass tube. The cup
is lifted by the pressure of the pulse
against the lever, the rubber cap being
stationary. The pressure of the air be-
tween the cap and the surface Of the red
fluid in the cup displaces and sends up
into the glass tube a portion of the fluid.
The cup rises in proportion to the strength
of the pressure On the lever, and the red
fluid rises in the tube to a corresponding
hight, indicating to the operator the rise
and fall of the tide of blood in the arter-
les. The amount of the fluid that is forced
up is calculated by comparing the size OF
the glass tube with the size or the artery
upon which the instrument is acting and
the hight to which the contractile force
Of the heart raises the red fluid in the
tube
1.-THE wrist Of the subject whose heart
action Is to be examined is adjusted
against the plates at the end of the levers.
Next is the writing.
'The slip Of paper on which Is recorded
in ink the action of the heart is sent
through a fiat tube by means Of two re-
volving cylinders. The appliance which
marks the pulse is moved across the
paper at the end of the tube through
which it moves. giving just such size and
shape to the marks as the action of the
heart imparts, and absolutely correct.

SIR THOMAS LIpToN GRATIFIED.
Thinks Shamrock III VIII Be 10
Faster Than Shamrock II.

LONDON, October 1S.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton. in conversation with a representa-
tive Of the Associated Press to-day, said:
Il wish you would say how gratified
am at the acceptance of the challenge
for another series Of races for the Amer
icas cup The lack of formalities accom-
panying It and the prompt and cordial
answer of the New York acht Club was
one Of the most satisfactory signs of the
pleasant relations now existing in con-
nection with the cup challenges"
Sir Thomas displayed great interest in
the dispatches announcing the personnel
of the defending syndicate. and the re-
ports regarding the design of the new
defender. He seemed inclined to believe
the Herreshofs were not likely to turn
out faster boat than the Columbia
Regarding the Shamrock H., the baro-
net said he could not quite announce the
date Of her launching. he hoped she
would be fifteen minutes faster than the
Shamrock IL
At Dumbarton, Scotland, a representa-
tive of the Associated Press was informed
from an authoritative source that the re-
ports that 70 aluminium would be used in
The construction of the Shamrock III,
we're incorrect. There viii be just about
ten times more aluminium used in the new
challenger than was the case with the
Shamrock II. The reports regarding the
new boats smaller cost also turn out
TO be incorrect She is likely TO be the
most expensive of the three Shamrocl5s.
One of those connected With the con-
struction OF the Shamrock III said:
You cannot beat the Columbia with a
cheap boat. Even 10 equal her costs
more than most yachtsnlen care 10 ex-
