HEART PUlSATlONS.
Combining of kaleidoscope with X
Rays Will Make Visible the
Organs Beats.

To stand before a kinetoscope and
see there produced the actual pulsa-
tions of your own heart, to note in the
flying squares its location and appear
ance, and to deliberately count its
strokes-that is the startling scientific
possibility being made to mankind if
the experiments now being made by
DR.. NJ. K. Kassabian, of Philadelphia,
are successful.
The result is to be reached by the
combination of powerful Roentgen
ray and specially contrived photo
graphic apparatus operated on the
principle of the kaleidoscope. This ma
chine, if constructed, would be so
timed as to correspond with the pulsa-
lions of the normal human heart.
The proposal to thus lay bare the
innermost secrets of anatomy was sug-
gested by DR.. Kassabian in paper
read before the convention of the
AmScican Roentgen Ray society in
Houston hall, University of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t aroused instant attention,
and has been the subject of widespread
comment.
DR.. kassabian was disinclined to pre-
dictions when interviewed, but he is
earnest in his opinion of its feasibility
Thus far his experiments have con-
WINGED him the only problem lies in the
construction of a Photographic ma
chine adapted to the work

said DR.. Kassabian, together with the
skill now being shown in the operation
of the machines, makes the moving
picture of the hearts action entirely

PUMPS MILLIONS OF GALLONS.
Mining Company on Lake Superior
Has Suction Pump of Immense
Capacity,

The largest suction pump in the world
is one located at the mines of the Calu-
met & Hecla Copper Mining company, on
Lake Superior. Without being crowded
to the limit of its capacity this pump can
deliver 100000 gallons of water every
hour in the "a. Moreover, it will do the
work without making as much noise as
is made by the operation of the old-style
sewing machine. Outside the doors of
the great building which houses it no
sound is heard from within, and, stand
ing beside the monster upon the brink
Of the pit connected with the lake from
which the water is taken, almost the
only sound is the noise of the suction, as
with every stroke more than 1000 gall
Ions are lifted.
1t is a triple expansion pumping en-
CINE, with capacity of $4,000 900 gall
Ions, standing nearly so feet in height,
and requiring 1900 horse power for its
operation. 1t has been proved by actu-
al test that the nominal capacity can be
easily maintained for an indefinite time
"ANAAOuI iiIJuiJ Vi 81 ain anu lHdI puoutu
to its full capacity, the pump could
handle approximately 100000 gallons
in "a consecutive hours.
The duty of the pump is to furnish
water for the great stamp mills of the
Calumet e Hecla company, which has
% steam pumps in continuous operation,
daily pulverizing 5000 tons of conglom-
crate rock into sand so fine that it can be
carried way by stream of swiftly run
ming water
The pump is housed in a special build
ing near the shore of Torch lake and be-
low the mills, and it forces a steady
stream of water to the upper portions of
the mill, where innumerable small Jets
of water play upon the great slime
tables and jigs. Here the specific gray
ity of the fine particles of copper con-
tanned in the rock separate the mineral
from the worthless sand, and the size
and the force of the streams of water
are so nicely regulated as to wash away
the sand and yet carry with it the mini
mum of copper.

WAR SPIRIT IN JAPAN.
Even the Coolies That Drag Jinriik-
ishas About Are Eager to Dis
play Their ValOr.

The jinrikisha coolie, with his little
lacquered carriage, does not view the
changing electric railway cars with

current and the three sen tone and
one-half cents) fares, and it is evident
that thousands of jinrikishas must
go from Toxic streets and hardships
fall to the coolies this winter, writes
Eliza r. S. Scidmore, in the Chicago
Tribune. One such human pony told
me:
"Jinrikisha soon be finish" and
when asked what he would do, an
swered:
ooh, Russia make Robbery. make
bobberyA then come war, and plenty
jinrikisha go Manchuria. l go Man
churia."
And kill all the Russians?"
'Sayo de gozarimasu" Chat is so,
certainly and he bowed seriously.
With this relief in view, the jim
rikisha coolies are contentedly waiting.
Any day they may step from the shafts
/ at an hours notice, and with their
blankets and lanterns go to the rail-
way station to be hurried down to
waiting transports at Ujina. A coolie
corps goes with each regiment, to do
the packing and hauling and heavy
work that lessons the fighting soldier S
power to march and shoot.
On the march to Picking the Amer
lean soldier, loaded like a pack horse,
broke down or threw away his load
as at Santiago, while the nimble jap
anese scampered here and there a-sol-
diering, and came up at the end of
each march as fresh and smiling as
their tireless leader, Gen. Fukushima
The japanese coolie did the coolie
work, and the jinrikisha transport
corps was a mobile, flying force COM
pared to the American four-mule army
wagon trains or the British India tonga
cart service. The human pony could
look after himself, and when there
was stream to ford or a mud slough
to argue with two coolies could take
the 1inrikisha on their shoulders and
with catlike tread pass over and leave
the irate Transfers hours behind.
The jinrikisha coolie is certainly 'the
man in the street." and one hears the
words: "Roo-sha," "Choreu" (Corea)
and "Manchuria" often as he passes a
stand of waiting vehicles. They read
all the sensational extras, and firmly
believe the present depression in theil
labor market to be the forerunner
of boom, when wartime prices will
rule. and they will be assisting in the
| great revenge.

LEECRES ARE STILL USED.
Foreigners in Chicago Cling to the
Belief That Bleeding Is Good
for Many Ills.

The use of leeches, according to re-
tail druggist in anItalian quarter Of the
city, is increasing. This, says the Chi
cago Tribune, is likely to be news to
many physicians and certainly to the
laity, who have thought that bleeding
was a dead medical theory.
The druggist who made the statement
had just sold something in a small box
to group of Italians whom he charged
% cents. Afterwards he explained that
it was leech, and then he added that
sales were increasing in drug stores
which find their patrons among the for
eigners of the large cities.
They are raised mostly in Sweden,
where they are cultivated in leech lakes.
They are sold at four cents each at whole
sale, but the retail druggist adds heav-
lily to the price. I'VE have to do it" said
the druggist. They die if they get too
warm or too cold, and you are out what
you paid for them.
THE sale of them is constantly in
creasing. 1t is due to the fact that the
foreign population of the country is
growing all the time. In this coun-
try the natives do not look upon bleed
ing as cure for all manner of things.
but in many foreign countries that is
the first thing they think of when any
thing is the matter with person. If a
doctor isn't around to tap the sufferer,
off they go for one of these little blood
suckers. It's the same way when these
folks come to this country. They think
of bleeding" whenever anything hap
pens in the way of an accident, and if
one of them gets bruised the first thing
he wants is a leech. When one of them
gets into squabble and comes out of
it with black eye, nothing but leech
will do him.
THE demand for these ugly little
things is confined almost entirely to the
foreign born element in the city, and in
store situated as this one is we must
keep a good supply of leeches always
on hand. In the stores situated in the
| fashionable districts doubt if you will
be able to buy leech. They, however,
may keep them in some of these places
| just to have them in case they are
wanted, but it is safe to say they don't
sell dozen in year. Do we? Yes, in
deed. A dozen day is more like our
record. One day last week sold 49,"

ton of diamonds has shown that crys-
