CARDIAC PHYSIOLOGY.
rhe Hear May Properly BE Regarded
~ an 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 L to the
other, it may be roughly described as o
cone, the summit of which is the point
Of the heart, says the European edition
of the New Yor.: Herald. Between the
base of the cone and its summit is q
transverse strangulation, which sep
arates the halves into two parts,
distinct, but communicating by the
falling of q 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 a%uricle, depresses the valve and
passes into the ventricle on the same
side, whence it is driven out and con-
veyed to the lungs by this pulmonary
artery. From the lung, where it is
revivified and becomes scarlet, the blood
passes into the left a~uricle; thence to
AhC lCGpOlNAI1 hNhill1iNs 'AA'Af vs.
ing the mitral valte. It goes into the
aortic artery, whence it is projected all
through the system until its vital prop
critics are exhausted; it then flows
back through the veins into the right
side of the heart.
Thus, by it's repeated contractiOns, tho
heart constantly drives the blood. Ard
fbf1 -,or1,c Without 1,rr. cAr,,
ping. 1t begins its labor long before
birth, and only stops at death. 1t
acts like a pump, but q pump TIE piston
of which is replaced by a contraction
of the walls. These. drawing Eearcr
together, drive the fluid with which they
are filled with a perfection which III
apparatus with its rigid walls initiates
by means of a piston, but cannot
equal.
The human heart, then. is practically
a pump 15cm. in height by loom. wide.
1t works on an average, 70 times a min
ute, 1920 times an hour. 100, 500 times
per day, So 1872 900 times a year, ard
2,575, $40 900 times in 10 years!
At each beat it projects 100 grammos
of blood into the system; seven liters
a minute, APO an hour, or ten tors
a day. All the blood in the body,
which weighs about % 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 100000 cubic meters OF
blood.

FOOTBALL MAKING.
London manufactures Gives SOME In
tercstins Information AfrUt
the business.

Yes. sir, remarked a well known
maker Of footballs, it is surprising how
lew people. even veteran footballerg,
have any idea Of the amount Of labor
and skill that is expended in making
this necessary adjunct OF the national
winter game. says London Tit-Bits.
The leather we use is split cowhlde.
Ordinary cowhide is TOO thick for the
regulation weight, 50 it has to be split
into Two parts. The outer, or hair side,
is what we make the best balls with.
Prs5iOus to splitting the leather has
been soaking in the tan-pits for 10 OF
y months. Some makers cure their
hides in six weeks by taking with
chemicals, but leather SO treated won't
make a good ball.
The split" hide is well softened with
dublin and then passed on 10 the cut
ter, who cuts out the various sections,
which, when sewn together. make a per-
fect'y round ball. The method of doing
this is kept a trade secret by most
makers; but l don't mind telling you
that in my factory l use tin plates the
exact size of the sections required. All
tie cutter has to do is to place n Of
these on the leather and cut out the
shape with a sharp knife. These
shapes are taken in hand by expert
sewers, and soon the outer is
ready for the bladder.
This is made OF the best Para rub
Der. and involves even mor care in its
construction than the leather
itself. 1t is of immense strength. and
is an expensive item, representing near
- half the cost OF manufacture. The
next operation is the imitation of the
ball. This is done in a second by ma
chinery, and then the ball is laced up.
However, even yet it is not complete,
/ for it still has to pass through the
hands Of the shaper, who pats down any
Inequalities in the seams or contour
Of the ball. 1t now stands the finished
article, ready to afford exercise and
amusement to the thousands Of play
crs and spectators who annually follow
the great winter pastime.
Do we send many footballs abroad?
Yes, we do a large export trade. You
see. Tommy Atkins takes his Soccer
and Bigger balls along with him to
every quarter of the globe; except per-
haps. Central Africa. where it is rather
warm for the game. The missionaries,
too. are good customers, and have in
troduced football to the natives of many
lands. And first-class players some OF
these natives make, too, l am told. I
WOuld give n +rifp tn seq n game he
tween them and one of our crack
elevens, such as Woolwich Arsenal or
Sheffield United.

ALFRED DREYFUS.

Imprisonment on Devils isle, his re-
patriation, ~retrials and pardon, were
the theme of the worlds conversation.
His friends have never rested in their
efforts to clear his name, and now they
are rejoicing in the victory of Il long
sustained fight for Justice.
Spies of the French secret intelligence
department had been at work in the
German embassy in Paris and in Sep
TENDER, 1894, discovered the now ia
nous bordcreau OH which the convic-
ton of Dreyfus was apparently based.
Count Munster was then the German
ambassador, and Lieutenant Colonel
Won SchwarZkoppen was the military
attache. The bordereau was found in
fragments in acknowledgements waste
basket. General MERCER turned it over
to Major du Patty de Clam, who pieced
it together and affirmed that the hand
writing resembled that of Dreyfus.
Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the Four
teenth artillery, then attached to the
general staff, was arrested in Paris on
Oct. Is. 1894. The arrest was made on
the order of General MERCER, minister
of war, and Dreyfus was taken to the
Cherche Midi military prison, where
for fifteen days he was kept in igno-
rance Of the charge against him. The
fact that Dreyfus was Il jew added
bitterness to the popular feeling. Gen
eral MERCER announced that there was
overwhelming evidence that for three
years the accused had been in commu
nication with the agents of Il foreign
power.
General MERCER had the letter before
the court martial, and it is alleged that
in reading it as Il last resort to secur
the conviction of Dreyfns he deliber-
ately changed the letter ID" to
"Dreyfus," though it plainly did not
refer TO the prisoner. Colonel Picquart
at once denounced it as a forgery.
Shortly after came the confession of
Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who was
then head of the secret intelligence de-
partment, that he had forged the let
ter. His suicide soon followed. Be
cause of this exposure NJ. Cavaignac
resigned, as did General de Boisdeffre,
chief of the general staff.
