Measuring Heart Beats.

! No less wonderful than the miracu-
lous cures affected by the modern sur
geons are the delicate instruments
and appliances which he has invented
from time to time, and which have
greatly assisted him in the extraord
mary surgical feats he has accom-
plished of late years.
At the London Hospital for instance,
are to be seen various instruments
used in recording heart beats, by the
aid of which various forms of heart
disease have been diagnosed long
before they could have been heard by
the stethoscope. 1t was explained,
when describing these instruments
at a recent meeting of the governors
of the hospital, that when the heart
beats it gives off minute electric cur
rents, which are made to cause a fine
hair of glass. coated with silver. to vi
brate. These vibrations are made to
take place in front of a lens, behind
which is a powerful arc lamp to throw
shadow on to a sensitized film. When
this film is developed tracing is OBJ
tanned, caused by the shadow of the
hair. and from this shadow valuable
differences can be drawn.
Inc apparatus is connected py wires
with some of the beds in the hospital,
thus enabling the doctors to keep.
record of the heart beats of various
patients whom they wish to keep under
special observation.
A remarkable fact regarding this in
strumept is that distance does not
affect the record. The same result
could be obtained were the patient
hundred miles away. All the patient
has to do is to place his or her hands
in a solution of warm salt water, and
the electric current from the hands,
which are the positive and negative
poles, is carried by the wires to the
instrument which shows the heart
beats.

Catherine Babnaw of Sidney, who had
been arrested at Waterville on a COM
plant entered by the girls father, Vim
cent Babnaw of Sidney, charging them
with wanton and lascivious behavior,
were before Judge Lancaster Saturday
morning, and while the two respondents
were not formally arraigned on the
charge the case was thoroughly inquired
into by the court and former Judge Ben
edict F. Maher, council for the complain
ant.
1t came out during the interview that
the case was the result of an interruption
of a matrimonial affair. The prospective
bridegroom, who is IS years of age but
claimed to have the consent of his pa
rents, had filed his marriage intentions
at Waterville, and the girl had filed hers
at Sidney, but for some reason be had
kept her paper in his pocket. In the
meantime it is claimed that the two were
living together in Waterville
After going into the details of the af-
fair and giving the respondents some
good advice the court continued the case
to Friday, Oct. 9, in order that they
might have time to complete their matri-
monial arrangements. and Thibeau was
required to furnish bond of 500 for his

Another scientific marvel is the mind

Another scientific marvel is the mind
measuring machine, which has been
devised by Mr.. John Gray. the treas
urer of the Royal Anthropological
Institute. BY means of this apparatus
it is possible to gauge ones mental
strength and character. The appara-
tus consists of a box, the interior OF
which is fitted with a revolving mir
ror in which powerful colored lights
are made to play. The eye of the
person to be tested is placed against
the hole in the side OF the box. The
mirror is set in motion, and the length
of time taken for the sensation of
Pickering to disappear from the sub
ject measures the mental persistence,
thus giving an indication of his in
telligence.
Mr.. Gray has tested many men and
women with his wonderful machine,
and although he does not undertake
to tell the character in every case
with absolute certainty, he bt lievts
that the apparatus acts truly in the
great majority of cases and would
prove of the greatest value if used
in schools. (Tit-Bits.)
