HEARTBEAT's ORIGIN.
The "Paeemaksr" Q Small Mass Of Pc
ouliar Tissue.

The "Paeemaksr" Small Mass Of Pc
ouIIsr Tissus.
Professor Arthur Keith has been CIV
ing at the Royal College Of Surgeons
demonstrations illustrating the re-
markable advances made lately In
knowledge Of the functions and struc-
ture Of the heart and the action Of its
diseases. One Of the most remarkable
Of the demonstrations Is that Of a
small mass Of tissue, which has been
named the 'pacemaker Of the heart"
because it is apparently within this
small mass of peculiar tissue that the
beat Of the heart has its origin. II
was only Eve years ago that the struc-
ture was first recognized by Professor
Keith and DR.. Martin Flack.
DR.. Thomas Lewis Of University col
lege, using the latest methods Of cleo
trical investigation, found also that
the site Of the new structure was the
point at which the heartbeat appears.
Although 1t Is the chief center for the
activity and regulation Of the heart,
there are apparently many secondary
centers which can take over the ini-
tiation Of the heartbeat when the
chief one IL destroyed by disease or
experiment.

Where Charles Ride Ended
n BERT LIMESTONE HURLEY

day I found an order to 60 to France

turn received note from Charlie say
lug that he had been unable to leave
the house where he had taken refuge
aud wished me to come to him.
l took train and. getting or at the
nearest station, drove to the house,
prepared for sad sight. Judging by
his appearance when I had seen him
last. he had probably strained soms

forced to give up life as well as the
army. On reaching the house sent

Charlie reached out, pushed button.

ask her mistress II she would honor
him with her presence. In a few mo-
ments a pretty woman Of about twen-
ty-eight stepped into the room and
stood, 80 to speak, at attention.
That's what's the matter" said
Charlie. Mrs. Edgerton. permit me
to present one Of my most esteemed
brother officers, Colonel Brewster, call

I could have been knocked down
with feather. While all us fellows
had been galloping over the country to
prevent being retired the big. good ma
tured, winsome. lazy st. Clair had
dropped out Of the race into the arms
of charming widow and a splendid
fortune.
Mrs. Edgerton had taken pity on
poor st. Clair from the day he had rid
den up to her house and had given him
both meat and drink. Every day after
that he would say that he must be
gone. and the widow would say that
he was not yet recovered. Before he
was considered out of danger he had
proposed to and been accepted by the
widow.
Since st. Clair's case has become
known all the unmarried officers Of the
army wish to take the presidents ride.

The quiet man Of science was NJ. Al
phonse Bertillon, celebrated as the
founder Of the Berillon system.
NJ. Bertillon was born in Paris
in 1853. at which time his father was
chief Of the bureau of statistics. Ber-
tillon pere was as well one Of the fore
most anthropologists Of France.
Measurement System.
The Bert1llon system il based on the
metric system Of weights and meas
ures. There are eleven measurements,
As follows:
First.-Height. Subject stands bare
footed against measuring board. the
chin drawn in 20 the correct height
can be secured.
Second. = Outstretched arms. Sub
ject stands with arms outstretched
and legs as far apart AZ possible.
Third.-Trunk measurement. Sub
ject sits on a stool and his measure
ment is taken for his height seated.
Fourth.-Head length from root Of
nose to maximum point at back Of
head.
Fifth.-Head width from maximum
points on either side Of head.
Sixth.-Cheek width from cheek
bone to cheek bone across bridge of
nose.
Seventh.-Right ear.
Eighth.-Left middle finger.
Ninth.-Left little finger.
Tenth.-Left forearm.
Eleventh.-Left foot.
These are all bone measurements.
No subject Is measured before ma
turity Of twenty years Of age. All
Of body, save in the case Of the right
ear. this latter because all profile pic
lures of criminals are taken from the
right side. 1t Is a curious fact with
people that the ear never changes
after twelve years Of age.
The portrait parle" system IL a new
importation from abroad, brought over
by Captain Faurot. 1t consists OF a
study Of facial and other peculiarities
Of gait, speech, the shape of the head,
the formation and characteristics Of
lips, cheeks, ears. chin. forehead, eyes
and eyebrows. marks, wrinkles and
lines Of the face.
Police Museums.
Following observations in Europe,
Commissioner Waldo appointed CON-
mittee to establish a police museum
In New York. He had noticed that
most Of the larger cities on the other
side had such institutions. and his idea
for one in New York has Just been
| carried out.
The museums exhibits include black
caps and nooses, "can openers" and
the latest in bursiars' jimmies. The
"can opener" an enlarged edition OF
the tool which II the standby Of every
housewife. has been used with great
success lately in opening safes.
Besides the "jimmies" and "can
opener" there are all tho other tools
burgiars use In opening safes and
breaking into houses.

 Nothing would be more natural than the Kenton property when Kincaid, land jumper from Beaver, Neb-, 1nz vades the scene. Kincaid is type of the uncouth Westerner that Eng fish novelists love to write about He has plans all made to seize the Ken ton place while a ball is being held there How he is foiled by Kearney and the United States troops is de- picted in the last act, which is 8, very thrilling picture.
 A H. Van Beuren was great as ure and he accomplished the difficult task of being a hero without making the character seem priggish- In the scene with Kincaids in the last act he was particularly good.
 Mark Kent again distinguished him self by his wonderful portrayal of a character role. He made Kincaid seem a very real character, where an actor of less ability would have provided
 merely a. caricature- Stuart Fox was immense as Don Luis de la Torre. He played the fiery Mexican lover to per, lection and George Powell won all hearts as the kindly F,ranciscan monk. Fra Matteo. E. T. Biunlzau was good as Jun Juan Ba4ista.

 The details of the crime he relat- ed them to the jury, were substantially the same as told Police Nootbar ten he made his first confession, Saturday He said that he came to Chicago at the request of his wife, Beatrice Ryall- Conway, who was living at the same address as Miss Singer. His wife was i'll when he arrived, he said, and Miss Singer met him at the door and Kissed him. He told the jury that improper relations between Miss Singer and him self began on the evening of his ar rival.
 When he. finished the recital of the striking of Miss Singer on the head, when she attacked him with a razor, and pinnine her, Conway said:
 T am very sorry that I did it. Self stand up for my wife when she was trying to induce her to begin 8 life of shame. If a man will not do that he is not fit to be called a man,
 "I am sorry for Miss Singer, for Bill Warthen, because I know he 1ov-| ed her and I am most sorry for Miss singers mother, WnO does not deserve the pain which this has caused her.
 During Conway's- testimony, Mrs. Rya1l-Conway sat listening to every word. At the conclusion of her hus- bands testimony she said:
 ''I am glad you are not asking me to go over this whole thing again. What my husband has said is all true. I only want to add that we learned at Rochester that Sophia was dead, Conway wanted to turn back and face the music in Chicago I would not do it and urged him to get farther away from there. was afraid to come back although he was perfectly willing,
