TelephOninE Heart Beats.

h&ISIsITE for more than 100 miles over
gasssesssS an ordinary telephone was ex-
hlbited and described by it's inventor, S c..
Brown, before a crowded meeting of we'll
known physicians and scientists at the In
stitutlon OF Electrical Engineers OF Great
Britain recently.
Al the experimental test of the stetho-
scope Prof. Milne and four physicians on
the Isle Of Wight listened over the ordinary
telephone to the heart beats Of a lady in
Kensington.
The apparatus consists of microphone
made ~ Of two metallic contact pieces Of
csmium-iridium alloy, opened to an infini-
tesimel degree BY a fine adjusting screw
and connected with a local current passing
through a coil wound round a permanent
magnet. The minute conduction space,
which is maintained by the automatic ac-
ton cf the current from, cell flowing
round the magnet is able to transform
microscopic mechanical movements into
large current changes.
The apparatus, by itself, Mr.. Brown eN-
planned. reproduces the sound Of the heart
beats three times as loud as the ordinary
stethosoope. BY attaching 20 the wires Of
the transformer his telephone relay "a now
invention for magnifying the very fesblest
telephone currents. which Mr. Brown had
previously described 10 the society, sounds
are heard through the electric stethoscope
sixty times as loud as through the ordinary
instrument
The results obtained when the new stetho.
SCOPE and relay were recently tested on
a number OF heart cases at the London, hos

the physician was studying the heart

MILITARY AccURAcY. !



Movements Of Soldiers.
We hear. mucn offthe perfection Of
military organization abroad. but It Is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
flee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements Of its Of.
ficers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and In the east
was once with scouting party In Ari-
zona. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes n
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked IL the officer wished TO be
transferred TO one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
lie answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either Of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert
1t was six days later when they
again struck. the railway, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed 1t, but the
officers reply from the war depart
mcnt was awaiting him. 1t had been
telegraphed TO every station within
200 miles
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officers trans
fer TO the east. lie was travelling
home on leave, and, as the regulations
require, he had notified the department
of the day, hour and probable route
of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at n small
station the porter entered with a tele-
gram, asking IL any one of his name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactncss of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in.
significant second lieutenant even
when he was travelling on leave of alb.

A SNAKE STORY.
The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but
That Didn't Harm Them.


That Didn't Harm Them.
A naturalist once told how in a
thlcket on a mountain side he saw a
man kill a rattlesnake He beat the
life out of It with a club and contin-
ued the pounding till it was mangled
beyond recognition. When the nat
uralist demonstrated the man said.
"Boss, you can't kill rattlesnake too
dead"
On one occasion a boat bound for
the United States from Rio de Janeiro
touched at Pernambuco. where the
dealer for half dozen reptiles of vari-
Gus sizes.
The mate had them In n cage on
deck and charged sailor with the
duty of washing 1t out with sea wa
ter every evening. All went well as
the night before the gulf stream was
crossed the sailor left n quantity Of
water in the cage, and about thirty
hours from port a biting gale struck
the ship.
All hands were busy with the storm,
and the snakes We're forgotten. When
the mate thought of them and went to
look after their condition he found
them frozen stiff and apparently as
dead as the proverbial doornail.
The dealer for whom the maze had
brought them came on board the fol-
lowing day. He professed great dis
appointment over the loss Of his in
tended purchase, but offered to take
the snakes away as kindness to the
mate. He gathered them in his arms
like SO much firewood and carried
them home. But rival dealer after
ward told the officer that plenty of
warm water had resuscitated the
snakes and that they had been sold
