The Boston Work Horse Parade As
sociation has issued its annual circular.
showing the work done by the assOcia-
tion in the last year, and the plans Tor

was first organized it's main object was
to benefit the work horse. The parades
proved successful. and last year the as
ISOLATION decided to extend It's work
by adding a stable competition. argu-
ing that it was Of as much Importance
that the work horse be made comfort
able in his hours of rest as 1t was that
he should when at work about the
streets This proved n success, and this
season the number OF entries in the sta
BILE competition Is much larger than last
year Another new feature is "A series
OF free lectures on subjects related 20
the care of horses. including stable
management care o. the feet. shoeing,
driving. and treatment OF diseases.
These lectures are especially intended
for drivers. grOorns. stable fOremen, and
owners Of work horses. In order to inn

RUSSIAN STUDENTS
FAVOR REBELLION
Starvation and Misery Drive Them Into
Disseminated Proletariat.

The universities in st. Petersburg and
other large Russian cities are nurseries
OF rebellion, declares a writer in the St

cause of the wretched poverty and mis-
cry IN which the students live. The
general restitution Of Russian college
boys is a well-knOwn fact" he assures
us. The Russian student is In most
cases a beggar student. People have
become familiar with this state Of things
and pass il by as an ordinary matter.
More than a thousand students are drop
ped from the University Of st. Peters
burg annually, because they are unable
70 pay their fees.
The writer gives a picture of student
life in Russia and declares that the
constantly heard among this haif-
starved and helpless class are disgrace
to Russian civilization. Male and female
students are equally destitute. Thus he
remarks:
"a heartrendinR indication OF the
depth Of hunger and despair into which
these people are plunged may be seen
from the newspaper advert isements and
the notices that are stuck up in the
college corridors. Thus we read such
notices as these: An educated Jewish

HEART MAY BEAT
HOURS AFTER DEATH

Hygiea sche Zeitschrift has an inter
esting article on the mechanism OF the
action Of the heart by Prof. Herring.
He says that death IS never instantan-
eous, for many OF the different tissues
OF an animal continue their activities
long after the organism as a whole may
be said TO be dead. This is specially
noticeable in some of the lower animals.
And the heart Of MANI animals viii
continue 20 beat long after its removal
from the body. The heart OF the frog
VIII beat for hours. and that Of the tur-
tie or snake for several days, or per-
haps a week. after the animal is killed.
From previous experiments made on
the rabbit, cat. dog. and monkey, Prof
Herring found that the mammalian
heart can be uncovered and all its work
ings observed as well as the effects Of
the stimulation Of lis nerves. II it is
kept supplied with physiological salt So
luton In these Investigations the hear Z

was removed. and the heart. without

for a time, and after this pause begins

II a solution OF potassium chloride is
injected INTO the blood vessels, the heart
stops beating. but after some time all
parts begin TO beat rhythmically to-
gether again. Potassium injected IN
this way acts directly upon the heart
muscles.

DIABOLO'S ORIGIN
COAST OF INDIA

The origin OF the game called diabolo.
which now IS almost as popular in
india as in the Wes:, has been traced
20 Malabar, on the coast OF India south
Of here.
IN Malabar there is a class OF. people
called Koravas. who from time i'm
memorial have played this game almost
IN the same manner as it's Western
devotees do at the present time They
are an interesting people Of nomadic
habits. The men are clever acrobats and
rope dancers, and their women are for
tune tellers and ballad singers.
The rope dancers perform many Won
derf', feats, among them being the
playing OF diab0lo while walking 10
and fro on the tight rope.
The KOTaVa acrobat spins the wooden
spool on a string fastened % the ends
OF two bamboo sticks. throws 81 up 70
the height OF a cOcOauut tree. and when
II comes down he catches % on the
string 10 again throw Il up. There are
experts among them who can catch tho
spool on the string without looking al
There is no noteworthy difference in
make and shape OF the spool used By
the kOraVaS and those OF Europe. eN-
cept that the MalabaT spool IS or solid
wood and little larger than the West
erB toy
The Koravas are a very primitive pao-
pie. but as acrobats and rope dancers
they have continued their profession for
very many generations and there Is no
doubt they have been expert diabOlo
They are a people who have never trav-
eled beyond their own region and, there
fore. could not have imported the game
from elsewhere.
