CATCHING THE OCTOPUS.
AcetyIenc Lamp Is Used with Great
Success by Mediterranean
Fishermen.

The octopus is such a peculiarly re
pulsive looking cretaure that Il would
not seem calculated to appeal as an
article Of food even to a hungry man;
but the Italians have no prejudice
against the fish, and they eat it with
out question. In a consular report
on the trade Of southern Italy for
1902. an interesting account is given
Of the method Of capturing the octo-
pus in the Mediterranean. At the
end Of a long bamboo-pole is hung a
line haited with a piece Of red rag;
and this, dangled in front Of the
rocky hiding-places Of the octopus, Is
sufficient 10 tempt him from his lair
In his efforts to get near the bait the
creature is enticed towards the boat
in which the fisherman awaits him.
armed with a trident, and at the
right moment the octopus is impaled
on its spikes. BY night a bright
lirht is used to attract the prey, and
this in past times would take the form
Of an iron cradle fun Of resinous
pine which was carried az the head
OF the boat. But science has stepped
in. and the fishermen now employ an
actylene lamp. which seems to be as
attractive to the octopus as a red rag

CARDIAC PHYSIOLOGY.
The Heart May Properly BE Regarded
as nm Intricate Hydraulic
Apparatus.

Everybody Knows that the heart Is a
hollow muscle, situated In the breast,
between the lungs and placed In the
center of a pocket known as the peri
cardium. Formed Of two equal halves
back to back and Joined one to the
other, 1t may be roughly described as q
cone the summit Of which is the point
Of the heart, says the European edition
OF the New York Herald, Between the
base Of the cone and its summit Is
transverse strangulation. which sep
arates the halves into two parts.
distinct, but communicating by the
falling Of valve. The cavity nearest
the base is known as the auricle, the
other the ventricle.
The black Of venous blood flows
from all parts OF the heart on to the
right auricle, depresses the valve and
passes into the ventricle on the same
side. whence It Is driven out and con-
veyed to the lungs by the pulmonary
artery. From the lung, where 1t Is
reyivified and becomes scarlet, the blood
passes into the left auricle; thence to
the corresponding ventricle; then, rails
Ing the mitral valve, it goes into the
aortic artery, whence It is projected all
through the system until its vital prop
critics are exhausted; II then flows
back through the veins into the right
side Of the heart.
Thus, by it's repeated contractions, the
heart constantly drives the blood. And
/, xrytth
ping II begins its labor long before
birth, and only stops at death 1t
acts like a pump, but pump the piston
of which is replaced by a contraction
Of the walls. These, drawing nearer
together, drive the fluid with which they
are filled with a perfection which our
apparatus with It's rigid walls initiates
by means of piston, but cannot
equal.
The human heart, then, is practically
a pump 15cm. in height by 10cm. wide.
| It works on an average, 10 times min
ute. 4.200 times an hour, 100 800 times
per day, 36,792 900 times a year, and
2,575, ,440 900 times in 10 years.
At each beat 1t projects 100 grammes
Of blood into the system; seven liters
minute, 420 an hour, or ten tons
day. All the blood in the body,
which weighs about 2S pounds, passes
| through the heart every two or three
minutes. So that this little organ
exercises every day a force sufficient
to raise 46 tons a meter high.
During the 70 years of the life OF
a man this marvellous small pump,
without a moment Of respite by day or
by night, sends out the enormous
mass Of over 25O,OO0 cubic meters Of
blood.

HORSES TAUGHT TO SWIM.
Tbex Are Put Through "a Regular
Course of Instruction In the
British Army.

The British army at its Aldershot
training camp maintains swimming
school for horses, where a good deal OF
attention is paid to this branch of their
education before they are finally fitted
for cavalry service Horses are en-
listed" on reaching their third year,
but it is generally two years more De-
fore they are taken for their first swim
ming lesson. The veterinary officer
and riding master of the regiment super
wise the work, and only experienced
men are allowed to assist.
The great thing is not to force or
alarm the horse during his training,
but rather to lead him by easy stages
to enter the water quickly, fearlessiy
and as noiselessly as possible. If terri
fed at the start, the horse would be like
lv to fight shy OF deep water ever after.
So on the first day the man who has
charge of the horse walks his pupil
about on the edge Of the water, just per-
hitting him to wet his hoofs and fet-
locks. The next day the horse is intro
duced a little farther into the water
perhaps up to his body, and allowed to
splash round as he pleases. In this way
the horse is gradually taken farther and
farther in. until at length he loses his
footing and starts swimming quite nat
urally. the man in charge swimming by
his side to give him greater confidence
Then the horse is taught to swim in
company with others, beside a boat,
bv way of training him to cross rivers
with his regiment en- masse. The horses
are divested Of ali saddlery but head
collars and head ropes. The men Of each
troop get into boat, and by means Of
the headropes bring their horses into
the water alongside. Then the boat is
hauled across the river by a rope
manned from the opposite side, and the
horses necessarily follow.
At times the horses are exercised in
bearing their riders across on their
backs. The horse wears only the head
collar and bridoon. and the rider strips
himself and throws his legs up along
the horses fianls so as not to impede the
animals movements. As the horse nat
urally swims very low in the water, the
riders weight pushes him down until
only his head is above the surface. But
the animal soon gets over the uneasi-
! ness this causes him at first. Then the
horses tuition is complete and he "a
classed in his regiment as proficient
He has. in fact. passed his exam" az
much as any cadet at Sandhurst-
