ness In Haiti.

Of American troops. He also was in
command OF a contingent of marines de-
tailed in Nicaragua in 1872
Part Of his talk was devoted to portray
in gthe possibilities of Haiti, which
he said, has a wonderful future. Amer
leans with small capital has made sue
cesses Of business and agricultural enter
prises there because of the country's re-
markable resources.
A score OF Cornell men were present
at the luncheon, among them being sew
eral undergraduates OF the university

HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES.

Hardening of the arteries is most COM
monty associated with old age. Here
the elasticity of this wonderful system
is worn out, like old rubber tubing and
the arteries become torturous and elon-
gated with thin, stif. calcified walls.
We have all seen such arteries, some
times not always in the very aged.
Torturous blood vessels are frequently
seen on the temples in those of hasty.
irritable temper or given to intense emo
tionalism. excessive tobacco smoking, and
in syphilis, lead poisoning. gout and
Brights disease, all of which are agencies
that subject the arteries to undue wear
and tear. Premature hardening occurs
In some families, going down from one
generation to another, all the members
succumbing to heart disease or apoplexy,
Muscular overstrain, as in the case OF
athletes. very often results in enlarge
ment OF the heart and early involvement
of the arteries. High livers, by overeat-
ing and drinking. bring about a state in
which the blood vessels are constantly
overfilled. This undue distention weak
ems the arterial walls and causes harden
ing.
have spoken in previous articles Of
the ductless glands. OF these the adj
renals exercise a: controlling influence
upon the neart ana the enure clrcuiaIory
system. Emotions cause these glands to
become overactive.s Poisons, such as al
cohol, nicotine, toxic food products, etc,
act similarly, so bringing about increased
blood pressure, of which we hear so much
nowadays.
Scientists assert that these little beam
shaped glands are the regulators of the
ebb and flow of blood In the arteries,
Anything that affects them adversely
creates similar effect on the arterisl
walls. The thyroid gland is antagonistic
to the sdrenals and the two maintain the
blood's equilibrium; thus II was dis
covered that on removal of the thyroid
gland in goats, hardening OF the arteries
occurred. because the equilibrium was
disturbed and high blood pressure re-
suited.
Preventive measures consist In living
a life of moderation In all Its details.
When the conditions exists, ones habits
of eating. drinking, exercise, etc, must
be regulated In such a manner as will
put the least possible strain upon the
arteries. Tobacco had better be given
up or at least reduced TO . minimum.

THE Romance of the Telephone" was
the subject of an illustrated lecture by
]. c. Martin. before the members Of the

present status as one of the most i'm
portant factors In business life.
Mr.. Martin eulogized the name Of DR..
Bell and his associates, who have made
possible the instantaneous bringing to-
gether by sound of two persons who may
be separated by thousands of miles OF
space. He also discussed the various
phases in the gradual development of the
great telephone companies of the United
States.
The speaker, in nontechnical terms.
explained the methods by which the in
visible electrical waves carry and record
upon the receiver the sounds of the
human voice.
