II. ing Muscular W ork and After, 4
"a recent publication Of the Univer-
sity. OF Michigan describes an instru-
ment for securing q ascontinuous gra-
phicI record Of the pulse rate2in man
which afford valuable indications of
the hearts work. The records showed
that the commencement; of muscular
work is followed almost simultaneous
ly by marked acce1eration of the
pulse. In fact, this modification OF the
pulse rate is observed in the next
heart cycle after the work begins. -
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary rise, a
period OF sustained acceleration and a
secondary rise. Similar stages of de-
crease in rate occur after the work
stops. The rapidity of the pulse dur.
ing work depends not only upon the
amount OF work done, but much more
upon the manner in which it is done.
Speed and resistance are factors re-
qulring separate consideration and of
these two speed has the greater in
huence.
These records show that while mus
cular work may not appreciably re-
quire the expenditure of bodily force
it Immediately reacts upon the heart
and that conversely cessation of mus
cular exertion is an immediate relief
to the heart.

GREATEST NATURAL BRIDGE.

One in Wyoming Is 1870 Feet From
Butress to Butress.
"A great natural bridge is situated
twenty miles southwest of Douglass,
Wyo., where La Prele creek breaks
through the foothills Of the Laramie
mountains" said Robert Jacobson of
Butte, Mont. "In span of arch it ex-
ceeds anything of it's kind in the
known world. From buttress to but
tress the bridge is 180 feet, and the
highest part of the arch is about IS
feet above the water. The arch is al
most as perfect as if built by mans
hands instead of formed by the action
of water. The stream here flows, or
rather tumbles and pitches, through
narrow, ragged canyon about 1000
feet in depth. Near the lower end Of
the gorge ledge or wall of solid rock,
about $50 feet in height, stretches
right across the canyon. In time long
past the water has plunged over the
top OF this rock wall, which was then
a NATURAL dam, but finally the water
found it's way underneath, and the re-
suit Is the bridge."- ."-Milwaukee Free

merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
OF the localities which it serves. !
A main dependence Of the farmers
OF the ,Aroostook region is the. potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels. which find mar.
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land, The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level. $50
Potatoes are also considerable out
put OF the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
Of potatoes from the Michigan fields
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even I'm carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Main Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. By means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crops and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for" the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making OF
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce.
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tations they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-EGchG11ge.

CHAPTER XIX
Clarence Departs,

~'0yStSS SSpaSSos
"Oh," thought the sorcerer, "to
night he is going to Kilronan! am
just in time to hear his plans!"
And crouching like a great toad in
the mouth of the passage behind the
leaning stone, he strained his ears to
hear more. :,
He had little need to strain his ears.
for Clarence spoke clearly and in
distinct tone.
"And you must leave me here alone
again, dear Clarence?" exclaimed Hell
en-, covering close to her lovers side.
1t was not a very pleasant place to
be left alone in. Night had already
begun, and but for the light of a lamp,
and a candle which burnt upon that
rock which had served the lovers for
table as they ate, the interior of the
cave would have been as dark as
sealed tomb.
"You need fear nothing, my dear
girl" replied Clarence, kissing her
capt. Osred is dead, and their fierce
henchmanA Bashfort, is dead, too; and,
best Of all, Zeno Sosia, the most to be
feared of all. is dead!"
'"Ah, is hep thought the listening
sorcerer, grinning exultantly behind
the slab.
IF that willy wretch were alive"
continued Clarence, II should not dare
to leave your side a moment. If had
not heard his dying groans in the well
shaft and actually witnessed his buri-
al, as it were, should not leave you.
But all Our enemies in Dun Aengus are
dead except Lord Genlis and the wom-
an Martha, and shall soon learn
whether they are still above or not
But, in either case, you need not fear
that You will be mO1ested here. shall
go to Kilronan tonight. 1t is a mere
hamlet now, Or was three years ago.
not having recovered from the disas-
ters it received during the Cromwell
ian wars It is not more than two
miles from Dun Aengus-though Dun
Aengus is as seldom visited by the
superstltious peasants and fishermen
of Aranmore island as if the cliff were
hundred miles away. I hope to be
back here before, to-morrow's dawn.
Now that Bashfort and Capt. Osred
are dead, we shall not be forced to
remain here so long as I feared. When
was at Kilronan three years ago,
saved the life of an old fisherman
there, and if he is still living there he
will aid me to procure a good and safe
sailboat. AS soon as I shall have, Sc
cured the boat shall return here for
you, and then, together, we will de-
part from Dun Aengus and for Gal
way"
*For Galway? All! doubtless my
mother and Lord de Lavet are still
there! They may see us and part us
sagain" exclaimed Helen, alarmed by
the thought.
''They will not part US again. dear
Helen" replied Clarence, accompany
ing his encouraging words with kiss,
whose soft sound nearly made the lis
tening sorcerer grind his teeth with
jealous rage. II will find some cler.
gyman in Galway" continued Clar.
ence, whom will persuade to make
us man and wife within an hour after
we arrive there
"Oh, how fast this daring beggar
trots!" thought the ,sorcerer. ~
'Then, with you on my arm as my
wife, dear Helen," continued Clarence.
with another kiss that nearly drove
the hidden sorcerer wild, II will seek
for your mother and my father
