RECORDS THE PULSE RATE
Instrument That Shows the Hearts
Action During Muscular Work
and After.

A recent publication of the University
of Michigan describes an instrument
for securing continuous graphic record
of the pulse rate in man which AFFORD
valuable indications of the hearts
work. The records showed that the COM
mencement of muscular work is fol-
lowed almost simultaneously by a
marked acceleration Of the pulse. In
fact, this modification of the pulse rate
In observed in the next heart cycle after
the work begins.
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary rise, period
of sustained accele1 alton and second
ary rise. Similar stages Of decrease In
rate occur after the work stops. The
rapidity Of the pulse during work de-
ponds not only upon the amoant Of work
done, but much more upon the manner
In which 1t is done. Speed and resist
ance are factors requiring separate con-
sideration and Of these two speed has
the greater influence
= These records show that while mus
cular work may not appreciably require
the expenditure Of bodily forces 1t I'M
mediately reacts upon the heart and that
conversely cessation of muscular exer-
ton Is an Immediate relief to the heart.

Interesting Experiments With Elscss
ric Current in New Form:
How the Treatment ~
e. r.. - Il Applied. IL II

New York.-A series OF interesting
experiments with the violet ray - z
cure for blindness has disclosed that
electricity In this weird and strangely
beautiful form has possibilities before
undreamed of. Heretofore it has been
used chiefly to destroy bacilli and
malignant, diseased tissue, but this
new experiment applied it to the op'
tic nerves Of q woman who had been
pronounced incurably blind by the spe'
cialists in one OF the eye and ear hos
pitfalls of this city. Az result of tho
treatment the patient, Mrs. Charlotte
Walker. Is able to read the headlines ON
q newspaper, see the hands on q watch
and pursue the ordinary vacations OF
life. -,
The east that the nerves responded
to the treatment proves that they were
not entirely atrophfed, 20 supposed oy

ment in the hospitals

patient'ss general condition and the
cause Of the trouble. il there be deep,
seated organic disease. affecting the
entire system, the cure may not be per-
fected and the improvement Is likely
to be only temporary.
The electricity may be generated BY
Q static machine or by coil, tho

Ian. Mrs, Walker sits beside 1t on an
insulated platform. The electrode Is q
glass vacuum tubs with IN expanded
bulb at the end and an insulated
handle, OF one having two bulbs. this

y. The physician applies the bulb to
the temples, to the eyeballs, to the back
Of each ear and over the spine and
back In order to reach the eervical
nerves that control the eyes.
While the treatment b in progress
the glass bulb b moro beautiful than
any flower, the ray changing from pale
violet to deep purple. At the same
time tho patient experiences q prick
ling sensation more or less intense,
according to the strength of the cur.

The patient was brought to me for
the experiment with the violet ray by
q physician in the hospital in which
she had been pronounced incurable, "
said DR.. Yallan. "She was about 80
years DID,. had been blind two years
and could not or would not give any
history of her case that could be OF
any aid in treating her. There was
evidence that the nerves of the eye
were entirely atrophied. The woma1
also has rheumatic pains, which com.

The agitation to ferret out and

under the new laws for taxes has
resulted in the discovery that the
landowner already burdened with
the increase of taxes will have to
foot other heavy bills if he has
been so unfortunate as to have
had oil or gas wells on his farm.
He will also suffer in the case of
leased coal lands.
For some reason the decision
has been overlooked until the

They are very much interested on
account Of the agitation which
has been started in the county and
believed also that IL will prove a
veritable boomerang. They are
pointing out that it is merely an
other Of the monstrosities foisted
on the people of the state under

cry is only confirmation of the
claims Of those who opposed the
laws while they were under dis

A special from Charleston says
that a recent opinion of the court
of appeals will have a tremendous
effect on the landowners of this
county. The decision was made
on March %, in the case of Pet
erson VS.. Hall from Wetzel county,
and the opinion was by Judge
Brannon. 1t is as follows:
"a lessee under an ordinary oil
lease has no vested taxable estate
in oil still in the ground either
before or after the discovery of
paying wells. The oil is taxable
only in the name of the land
owner"
This spells cOnfscation to many
of the farmers and landowners
of this county.
A landowner receives royalty
of but one-eighth of the oil, but
he is responsible for the increased
value which the other seven
eighths has brought to his land
AS the county court Of this cOun-
ty has directed the assessors to 90
back five years in assessing taxes
on oil leases the laying of such
assessments and taxes will result
in taking the entire farm to pay

sponsible. lie will escape by pay
ing taxes only on what oil he has
