FINDING GUILT
BY HEART BEATS
The New Way of Criminal
Examination.
DEGREES OF HUMAN EMOTIONS
Are Tested by Suggestive
Words and Finely Con-
Structed Machine.
DEGREES OF HUMAN EMOTIONS
INSTEAD OF THIRD DEGREE'

What is believed to have been
the first demonstration in a Court
of Justice of the Munsterberg the
DRY of criminal detection by heart
pulsations, took place not long ago
in a California Court. The demon
stration ended in the discharge of
Arthur Smith, a metal worker, who
had been arrested as a suspicious
character.
The theory and the proposed test
were explained to the prisoner, who
readily consented to be a party to
the experiment. The stethoseope
was adjusted and his normal pulse
was tested and found to be 70 beats
a minute.
Certain words were then spoken
to the prisoner, who was also
asked to reply to each with word
suggested by the one asked. This
was done for the purpose of testing
the claim of Prof. Munsterberg that
words spoken to men under arrests
especially those pertaining to the
crime with which they might be
charged, would cause them embar-
rassment in answering and would
produce accelerated action of the
heart.
The word San Quentin, where the
prisoner was suspected of having
served a term, caused no accelera-
ton of the heart and demonstrated
his innocence according to the
theory.
When Intercepted as to his as
sumed name of James Smithers, his
heart action increased to 81 beats
a minute. On being charged with
not having told the truth in this
particular, the prisoner gave his
correct name and address.
If an actual photograph of the
heart action is desired, it may be
obtained by the aid of machine
which DR.. e. A. Newton, German
scientist, is said to have invented.
1t portrays accurately the pulsa-
tons of the heart muscles and &C
ton of the valves and discloses all
Irregularities, however slight. Ac-
celebrated action of the heart result
ing from the emotion of fear aris-
ing from guilt, would be disclosed
in a characteristic series of leaps
and bounds which are quite diverse
from the pulsations due to the in
fuence of love or Joy.
A New York dentist advocates
laughing gas as a substitute for the
police third degree" He believes
that this, the least dangerous of an
aesthetics, lays open what already
is in the mind, unconscious of the
search for its secrets. He believes
that If a man who has committed
a serious crime should be question
ed about it during a certain stage
of recovery from nitrous oxide, or
laughing gas anaesthesia, he would
not only reply, and truthfully, but
half a minute later he would real
ize truthfully what he had said.

FEW MUSKMELON DISEASES

Muskmelon leaf blight Is = disease
more or less peculiar to the musk
melon, although the fungus which

cucumber leaves.
The leaf blight causes rather large
dead areas in the leaves. which are
usually distinguished from those OF

tendency of the central portion to
break out The prevention OF musk.
melon leaf blight is by no means an
easy matter. requiring OF Itself great

The easiest way 10 eradicate weeds
on the farm is to prevent their going

from corn silage alone.
One of the qualities of the soy bean
that commends It to the stock feeder
lie It's protein richness.
Much Of the feeding value OF the
clover depends upon how the crop is
managed after It is cut.
The best stock pea for grazing in
the field is the black. Everlasting.
Red and Red Ripper are also good.
