beats from a distance Of mile or
more.
The progress Of several common
diseases is plainly indicated by the
frequency and force Of the patients
heart beats. By the use of this new
instrument doctor, while sitting
In his office, may watch the progress
OF the diseases Of several patients,
hour by hour, and SO avoid un-
necessary personal visits.
This instrument Is, in effect. a
heart telephone, which shows the
doctor to the minutest fraction of a
second how the heart is beating. In
the hospital ward the patient places
each hand in dish cf salt water,
to which conducting wires are con-
nected with the instrument in the
laboratory.
Every time the heart beats 1t pro-
duces an electric current, and this
current Is conducted to a fine thread
suspended between the poles Of a
very powerful electro-magnet The
thread is 80 thin as to be almost In.
visible to the naked eye. 1t is made
Srom drawn glass and is $1,000 of
a millimetre in diameter.
AS the patient puts his hands In
the dish Of salt water by the bed
side the action OF the heart Is elec-
trlcally telegraphed to the thread,
which is detected with every heart
beat.
On the principle Of the magic Ian
tern-the thread is practically the
"slide"-a powerful arc light throws
the threads magniied reflection on
screen, and by cunning contri-
vance it is automatically photo
graphed on moving plate. In this
way an "electrocardiograph," or
heart beat picture, is obtained.
1T Is possible" said a doctor
who explained the apparatus, ITO
record heart beats mile distant
Indeed. think 1t might be possible
to bring the telephone into use and
record the throbbing of the heart
over greater distances"
Some interesting experiments
have been made by the authorities
at London Hospital, An ele-
phant was taken into the yard and
made to stand with his feet In hip
baths Of the salt solution while his
heart beats were photographed in
a room upstairs. The cardIograph
showed that his heart was beating
forty times to the minute

did not kill the animals.
'"Then they were alternately frozen and
thawed weekly for a long period, and took
no harm. They were dried and frozen, and
thawed and moistened, and still they lived.
At last they were dried, and the bottle
containing them was immersed In boiling
water, which was allowed to cool gradu-
ally, and still a great many survived.
Again they were put into sea water, and
into the brine from the bottom OF Green
Lake, which Is SO salt that 1t only freezes
at about zero (Fahr.). They were left in
these salt waters for month, yet rs soon
as they were transferred to fresh water
they began to crawl about as though moth
Ing had happened
Such Is the vitality Of these little ami
mails that they can endure being taken

dried and subjected to a temperature not
very far short Of boiling point, all within
a few hours "a range Of more than 200
degrees Fahr.). It Is not the eggs merely
that survive all these changes, but the
grown animals. These ara animals com
paratively high in the scale. The rotifers
are worms, and the water-bears (Which
stood the same tests) are cousins to the
insects and spiders.
''It Is curious fact that those animals,
which can endure such extremes Of heat
and cold, and other unfavorable condi-
tions, readily die when left In cold water
at moderate temperature"

Swiss chemist, has recently proved that
fish could be frozen and brought to life
again. He suggested the possibility OF
producing the same conditions with the
warm ~blooded animals.
Professor Richard Muirhead, the Eng.
lish biologist, In his Studies Of Vita! En-
durance," has collected many cases OF
lower animals that have been frozen and
restored to life. He caused several gold fish
to be frozen in solid cake of ice. At the
end Of week he dug two out. One he
broke to pieces as if 1t were just a cake

bottom of Blue Lake. There was a flm OF
yellow weed covering the gravel Of which
the bottom was composed, and on this
weed several kinds Of rotifers were found
alive. This fact seemed more remarkable
later, when we found that Blue Lake did
not melt during the two Summers that we
spent at Cape Royds, This means that the
animals must be capable Of remaining
frozen for years, possibly for many years,
without being. killed.

could stand, blocks Of Ice were cut from

next on cats, and finally on a dog. The
first were failures, but my dog survived
the ordeal Then perfected my fluid, and
1t is with the assistance Of this fluid that

the Eisemenger method of artificial
breathing"
In addition to DR.. Castellane Seymore's
experiments, there is an abundance Of
scientific evidence regarding the preserva-
tion Of life and animal tissues at low tenn
peratures. These range from the cases Of
suspension OF life In lower animals, such
as frogs and fishes. to the extraordinary
preservation Of the tissues In prehistoric
mammoth 10000 years old, found enclosed
In block of ice. The important point,
however, is that IL has never been proved
that life can be suspended by freezing and
then restored In man or the warm-blooded
animals
Perhaps the most interesting recent OBJ.
servations concerning the suspension and
restoration Of life were made by Sir Err
neHt Shackleton, Captain Scotts former
lieutenant. Shackleton found that the lit
tie insects called "rotifers" and" water
bears" were capable OF remaining alive
indefinitely when frozen In his book,
"The Heart Of the Antarctic" ShackIeton
writes
"As soon aB the animals were obtained
from the weed enclosed IN the ice In the
manner described above, 1t was obvious that
mere freezing did not kill them They
were first got In the shallow lakes, where
the weed could be seen through the trans
parent Ice at the margins. There were
