GAMING THE CULPRIT.
The Marks 1t Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In a London police court recently
teacher in IA public school was prose-
cuted for assaulting pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to
physician on the evening of the day
of his castigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence Of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the offense
which had caused it, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says:
"A blow from cane causes at the
time an appreciate amount of pain

tended to do,. but it leaves behind a
mark quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this. having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by

it is two hearts Joined together. the
right and the left heart. The right
sends the blood through the lungs so
that it may be aerated, or acted upon
by the oxygen in the inhaled air. while
the left heart sends the blood through
the body in order to nourish the It's
sues.
Both of these hearts receive the
blood from the large veins into the
the blood on into the ventricles. and
when these powerful muscles contract
the right ventricle pumps the blood
into the pulmonary artery on the way
to the lungs and from the left ven
tricle into the aorta. which distributes
the blood all over the body. so that
after having nourished the nerves and
muscles it returns through the veins
to the heart. there to be pumped into
the lungs for publication by the oxy-
gen before again passing through the
system.
The difference in the sounds Of the
right and left ventricles is traced to
the difference in resistance of the aorta
and the pulmonary artery. The pull,
monary artery resists with only one
third the strength of the aorta. so the
pumping force required is less and the
noise of the closing gates is that much
less.
1t is true, then, that when the physi
clan listens to the beating Of pa
TENTS heart through his stethoscopt
the heart speaks to him in unmistak
able language. When it plainly says
"lub-dup" he knows that all Is wei
with this important organ. and he pat:
the patient on the shoulder. saying
Nothing serious: you'll be all right IL
a day or two" When. however, thu
heart says "lub-duff" he knows tina
the aortic valve is not working prop
erly and takes the proper steps to cor
rect it. When the heart says "luff-dup'
he is sure that the mitral valves ar
out of order. and he tries to reacl
them.

Curious Experience With a Vicious
Man Eater In South Africa.
"Bulala'' Taylor was one of the early

the Chartered company's right hand
man in those days. and the natives
held him in wholesome respect. More
than once he checked threatening dis
order almost single handed, and when
ever there was an uprising it was Blu

forces. But this is story Of Bulala
Junior. his son, stocky little chip OF
the old block. 1t happened during one
of the fathers absences in the field.
The youngster. left in charge of the
family commissariat, spent two or
three evenings each week in hunting
and with invariable success, for he
was "crack" shot. for all his youth.

THE HUMAN HEART
Work of This Marvellous TWofold
Pumping Machine.
HAS A LANGUAGE OF ITS OWN.
In Tones That Cannot Be Misunder-
stood II Tells Whether 1t Is Strong
or Weak and If Ailins Notes the
Place and Cause of It's Troubles.

When the doctor puts his ear to your
chest or applies the stethoscope. when
only conducts the sounds more clearly.
what does he hear? The sound or
the normal heart is like the pronuncia-
ton of the syllables "lub-dup' close to
each other. These syllables are heard
in quick succession. and then comes
a pause-the diastole or resting period
of the great force pump. The sound
club" is that of the blood flowing
out under muscular pressure. and the
dup" Is the closing of the aortic
valves. If this sound dup is not
heard it shows that the aortic valves
are DESTROYED or not working.
The latest explanation of this first
sound, club" is that it Is caused by
the muscular contraction Of the heart
and the impulse Of the heart against
the chest wall The first sound is
heard more clearly over the apex OF
the heart. the point of the chest near
est to the ventricle. The second sound
which lie beneath the left side of the
chest just by the thlrd rlD.
If you close a door with great force
the slam Is very loud, and If the ten,
sion in the aorta is very high the
sound "dup' is louder than usual
This is most important to the physi
clan, for he then knows that there is
high arterial tension. due to what Ii
termed an aneurism.
If the sound "lub" is weaker thar
normal 1t would indicate weakness
of the heart muscle and this is the cast
in fevers. In typhoid fever. for In
stance. when this first sound is very
weak. we know that the heart Is 81
weak as to make the case alarming.
A heart is said to have "murmur'
when the sharp dup" disappears ant
the listening physician hears softenet
noise called a ''murmur." If you tr.
to say dup" with your lips open tn
sound uttered will be like that the doc
tor hears in the diseased heart who's
valves do not close properly. Th
sound produced is something hk
duff" and If the mitral valve does no
work well the first syllable is softene'
into "luff" II both valves work poor
" the sound is 'luff-duff-lur dun.
but II both valves are very much on
of order the sound is like that of
bellows, "oho-oho."
