WOULD AID WEAK HEARTS.
Prof. Loeb Has solution But Seeks
Way of Injecting 1t SO 1t VIII
Act with Certainty.
STNrk

"If by immersion in certain chem
ical solutions the heart muscle of a
dead child can be made to resume
rhythmic pulsations, is it not possible
that some method of injection can be
discovered whereby the weakened
heart action III certain acute dis
eases can be stimulated long enough
riOds?"
This was the problem that Prof.
jacques Loeb has outlined to his
class in physiology at the University
of Chicago.
DR.. Loeb had been discussing the
stimulating effect Of certain solutions
upon various muscles. In the course
OF his lecture he spoke of the expert
ment of kovalefski, a Russian sci
enlist, who had taken the heart of a
child dead a day and a half and by
lmmersing it in a solution of sodium
and calcium salts had caused it to
resume a rhythmic contraction. Dr..
Loeb himself, in his paper read be-
fore the American Society of physi-
ologlsts last January, described his
own experiments, in which he had
made the hearts of turtles and other
cold blOOded animals, and ever the
muscles of mammals, beat regularly
by immersion in various salt solu-
tions.
In certain acute diseases, for eX-
ample pneumonia" continued DR..
Loeb, there occur crises in which
the heart action becomes extremely
faint by reason of the cessation of
stimuli from the brain. 1t is in such
crises that death ensues. If, now.
the action Of the heart could be tenn
porarily strengthened during that
crisis many deaths could be prevent
ed. We have shown that certain salt
solutions a stimulate muscle ac-
ton. 1t is nov the problem for sci
entlsts to devise a means whereby
these solutions can be so injected
into the heart as to have the desired
stlmulative effect. When they do
that we can save many lives"
Similar experiments to that of
kovalefski T being carried on at
the University of Chicago. but defin-
tie results are not yet available. DR..
E. Z. Lyons, who has been conduct
ing some of the experiments, is at
present at the great marine labora-
tory in Naples working over impor-
tant problems Of LIE Phenomena.

ONLY A BONE

Dry as the fleece in Gideon's time,
White as the cirrus clouds On high,
Crumbly and honey-combed with age.
Perch of the birds that wander by.
Once DER the undulating plain G.
Fed by the leaping blood 1t sped,
Face to the sky with a moldy back,
Now on the turf it lieth dead.
Only Putney,
ssDry rs a bone the Putney scribe
Thu to the world describes his (D town.
Oh, what a picture these words bling
Visions of wheat fields scared and brown,
Cornstalks adroop in the summer heat,
Cucumbers shrinking for lack of juice;
Farmers Il telling in dry, cracked tones
How all the section lines dried loose.
Dry as 9 kcac, It may be more:
Let all good fellows shun the spot,
For in this town perchance tbs meant
The lordly vintage foweth not.
Back In the times of long ago.
Washing down feasts of wild boar's ham,
Lords and their vassals thronged the board
Smacked their lips DER the warming dram
Glory and love and gold were won,
Glasses were drained when a knight re-
turned
Fresh from a quest, Ind oh, We gods,
How those brave knight for the goblet
[yearned,
Now let us hope our sister town
Sows not the seeds these Knights have
lsown,
And missing their dram thru luck or law
Rail at their town as a dry old bone.
DRY as a bone, it is" says he.
DRY as a bone" the items cry:
Wond'ring and fearfully we CLEAN
Only from this that there's something dry;
Dry as the warping, burning deck.
White as the stones Of Cheops tomb,
Crumbled and worn for lack of paint.
Weep for the town engulfed in gloom.
Once on the undulating plain
Putney was moist then to a groan,
50 !: =#scE:: &c the press, but listen now.
DRY as a bone, dry as q bone."

A COMPOSITE CHARACTER

The average American citizen in
his black coat with his typewriter
and his little routine from his office
to his home, admires Mr.. Roosevelt
as a wild, fierce cowboy and slayer
of wild beasts.
The cowboy who has seen Mr..
Roosevelt in the saddle knows that
he is really not very much a cow
boy, but he thinks he is a great
deal of a statesman.
Perhaps if he goes on training,
Mr.. Roosevelt may end by being a
good cowboy and good statesman,
too, but his actual record shows
that he is neither at present, and
we should like to suggest to him in
a friendly spirit that the reading of
history Will show him that those
who have succeeded either as cow
boys or statesmen have stuck con-
sistently to cowboyism or states

PROGRESS IN GERMANY.
CAESAR KLEBERG,
Secretary.

An American of culture and OBJ
servatiou travelling in Germany
says of its cities that they are adj
vancing in comfort. intelligent ar
rangement and attention to the
beautiful decoration of their parks,
squares, stations, subways and
transportation lines, after a fashion
that puts our great cities to the
blush. They seem to have munich
pal officers who know how to enlist
the best engineers and artists in
each problem, whether that problem
be the placing Of a fountain or the
decoration of a town hall. The pro-
gress of the smaller cities in mat
tiers that make city life agreeable is
more notable than that Of the cap
itals. I believe It is due to the at
tention the Germans have been
paying to industrial art, which not
only supplies the trained artisan
and the intelligent public, but
makes a solid foundation for the
artist in the fine arts. Mexican
