POETRY AND PULSE BEATS.

a comparative 1AGAOENs
Professor James Marn Dixon. noted
English scholar doing research work
in the university of California, has
been carrying ON a series OF expert
ments to determine the relation of
poetry to human organism.
These experiments, begun some time
ago. in field heretofore by psychOlo-
gists, are OF delicate nature, and the
university at Berkeley, we are in
formed, is one of the few institutions in
the United States which will possess
apparatus sensitive enough to record
the results of the work.
Professor Dixon has already dis
covered an emotional curve in poems
like Longfellows'S ''The Bridge.
Experiments are now being conducted
to discover law of relation between
stress in poetry and the beat of the
human heart. and of the relation be-
tween the lines of poetry and the re-
SEPARATION. a large number of tests
have been made, and some provisional
conclusions have been reached but be-
fore the law is determined Professor
Dixon thinks it will be necessary to re-
cord the singing of the Doxology or
some other song by a whole congrega-
ton. A
In obtaining records to be used in
drawing his general conclusion Pro-
fessor Dixon and DR.. Wrinch use an
exceedingly complicated machine that
records the pulse beats of the persons
reciting the poetry, the stress, the
number of lines, the resDirations and
the time taken. All these result can be
preserved, so that in a little time per-
haps, We will be able to follow exactly
the heart and lung action of the young
lady who recites 'Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight" and follow perfectly
the curves and pulse beats of the man
who does Casey at the Bat"
Take Tennyson's May Queen" for
example Professor Dixon's expert
ments show that the three divisions in
to which the poem is divided vary In a
decided manner. The first, giving a
mood of heightened happiness, uses Il
per cent more syllable than the second,
which is in a mood Of depression. The
third division is in mood of resigna.
ton or sorrow, and uses per cent less
syllable than the second.
Not so many elocutionists as formerly
are saying: IF you waken, call me
early, call me early. mother dear" and
comparatively few are now dying in
Algiers or asking their comrades to
leave them here little while. as yet
tbs early morn, or telling where the
village sn1ithy stands. Nevertheless, il
win be interesting to those who follow
the latter day recitations to know that
in the reading OF them every word
means a stress and a pulse throb, and
that the eouplet composed by Colonel
joni A. Joyce and Ella Wheeler VIII
cox: Laugh, and the world laughs
with you: weep and you weep alone,
when recited calls for a vast experidi-
ture effort and no small degree of ex-
haustion of the vital forces.
1t would be still more interesting il

seems to be equal to anything, would

HORRIBLE SUICIDE

Health tho Cause Of Her Act.

Sibley, Jan. Airs. L. G. Alexander.
county, was found burned to death in
an clubhouse near her home on the
edge of Allendorf at o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t is evident that she sought
suicide, and dependency and worry
over the health of her two daughters
Is the probable cause.
She was discovered in the burning
building by her husband, who is almost
crazed by the affair. Arising yesterday
morning before sunrise, Mrs. Aleixand-
der called the remainder of the family
and went down stairs. Her husband
arose, but went back to bed q short
time later.
From appearances, Mrs. Alexander
went at once to the kitchen. A kero-
sene jug was found later that had been
opened and the sink, in which it was
kept was covered with the fluid. She
evidently saturated her night gown, the
only garment she had on. and then
repaired to the outhouse where 1t was
set on fire. One of the daughters no
ticed flames coming from the building
and she aroused Mr.. Alexander. He
went out and opened the door. but the
smoke was so thick that he could not
see his wife. He returned to the house
thinking she was in her room. On
discovering that she was not he secur-
ed pail and began throwing water on
the burning building.
In few minutes the flames We're
quenched to such an extent that he
saw the charred form Of his wife. She
was standing erect and leaning in a
corner. When he returned with help
she was dead, and probably was when
he made the first attempt to enter the
building. Her body was terribly burn
ed, the skull being cracked, the hands
were burned off, and the lower limbs
were burned to crisp.
The coroner was summoned, from
Sibley, and after going over the mat
ter he decided that the calling of jury
was not necessary. 1t is his belief that
deceased came to her death at her own
hands.
This is the fifth violent death to
take place in Osceola county in as
many months.
