JAPANESE FORESIGHT.
Three Thousand Yen Invested for .
Period of ESQ Years to Pro-
duce 1,2OS, 411,179.

The Dai-ichi Cingo in 1900 re-
ceived deposit of 5000 yen which
will remain fixed for $50 years, from
Mr.. Goichi Abe, dealer in coal and
coke, at Minami Shimboricho Nj
chome, KyobaShi-ku, Tokyo. The
bank has contracted to pay the sum
Of 1,20S,411, 179 yen at the end OF 25O
years, dating from 1900 inclusive, re
ports the Toxic (Japan) Times. The
father of the de positor was 'rkisha-
man, and he himself was an iceboy
some 20 years ago. Then his mother
was seriously i'll, and three days be-
fore her death she said that she
would like to eat SODA, which Is
cheap dish, but luxury for the poor.
He, then only eight years old, pur-
chased some from the sale OF ice,
and was carrying it home when he
was encountered by his father. lie
and his mother were then scolded
for their luxuriousness. His mother
died and he was employed as an err
rand boy for the next six years by
IL different masters. Meanwhile the
father and son did not know of each
others whereabouts. 1t was only
by accident that the son read in
newspaper that his father, who was
named Ki-ichi Abe, was employed by
Mr.. Soichiro Asano. The son
searched for his father, and was
able to find him ont again. After
this the son was given place in Mr..
Asano's establishment. Lately the
father lost a ship Che had become
rich enough to own a ship in a
storm. The ship had been insured
for 5000 yen. The fact Of the insur-
ance was unknown to him, for the
policy-holder was the son. But the
father and son settled between them
selves that the money should be de-
posted on behalf of their posterity,
and hence the long term contract.

PIERCES THE HEART.
Important Discovery Credited to
Chicago Physician.
Experiments said to Have Proved
That Injections of Salt solution
Can lie Made with safefyto
the Patient.

After a series Of experiments
lowering a period of over five years,
Or. w. Byron Coakley, OF Chicago
has Just discovered that to admins,
ter local treatment to the heart is
not the impossibility the worlds
scientists have held it to be.
BY means of fine hollow golden
needle seven or eight inches long,
which he terms "organotone," DIR.
Coakley not only has been able to
pierce the heart without causing
death but to inject into it various
fluids without subjecting the patient
to the slightest danger.
Thus far DR.. Coakley has been COM
PEELED to confine his experiments to
dogs, rabbits and similar animals,
but so certain is he of his ground
that he will attempt to secure a
human subject for a demonstration
which he has been asked to make be-
fore the international medical con-
gress at Madrid, Spain, in 1903.
While at work over n dog recently
the doctor conceived the idea of in
iecting a salt solution into the ami
mails heart. To his surprise, the
dog not only withstood the shock
but the heart action was imme-
diately greatly improved. This led
him to make more extended investi-
cations, and these resulted in the
verification Of his first experiment.
DR.. Coakley refused to talk of the
subject when approached for details
of his discovery, but physician who
has beer associated with him in the
experiments, explained the theory as
follows:
"In making injections into the
heart it is necessary to have abso-
Lutte control over the temperature,
the pressure, and the quantity of
fluid to be injected. These important
features are regulated by large in
strument which is used in connection
with the organotone.
"The left ventricular cavity will
withstand eight cubic centimeters OF
a 20 pound stream Of normal or .006
per cent. salt solution at SO degrees
centigrade, to be injected in min
ute 1t is not well to hold the heart
that length of time, but it can be
done if necessary.
"If the wall OF the ventricle is to
be injected the pressure OF the
stream must be reduced, and less
quantity of the solution introduced.
The right ventricular cavity will
withstand ten cubic centimeters of a
IS pound stream of the same solu-
ton to the minute. In the right and
left articular cavities the same con-
dtions obtain as in the ventricular
cavities.
"The organotone, being delicate,
allows of considerable play, and I'M
der favorable conditions the heart
may continue to do its work, al
though transfixed. The instant the
point of the needle touches the heart
the beat increases, but az the point
is thrust further into the substance
Of the organ the beats become
slower, and If the needle be passed
through the apex the heart stops.
Then as the instrument is withdrawn
the heart makes n great effort to
make up for lost time, and when the
needle leaves it the heart beats mum
Der over 200 to the minute. These
continue for a period of about two
minutes when they gradually fall
back to normal"

horrors of hot weather Many ladies have discovered that the depression of hot weather and the rigors they have been in the habit of attrbuting to malaria, quickly disappear when they use Peruna.
