TESTS FOR HEART DISEASE
herman Physicians Have Evolved
Novel Method of Detecting Pres
ence of Weakness.

There is new way OF DIAGNOSING
heart disease. 1t was discovered in
Germany and is based upon the prin-
ciple that extremely slight motion in
the air will form similar changes in a
burning flame.
Two small smoking gas flames are
used, and around these is turned a
wide paper tape. The flames cause
bands of SCOT to appear upon the sur
face of the tape
Over the heart of the patient an in.
strument somewhat similar to a tele-
phone transmitter is placed. This
transmitter has a very sensitive
diaphragm. Its vibrations are dupli-
Gated by the diaphragm and transmit
ted by a tube TO a gas chamber
through which passes the gas for one
OF the flames.
The slight fiamings of the gas in re-
Spouse 10 the various vibrations result
iii characteristic rings of smoke on the
paper tape. From these abnormalities

enced similarly by vibrations from
tuning fork. The smoke rings vary in
shape and position according to the
character OF vibration causing them.
and so help TO simplify the diagnosis.

These blood parasites are not all OF

as microgametocytes, carry out male
functions, while the larger micro
gametocytes may be regarded as fe-
males. These two forms OF the same
parasite pass through certain changes

The single organism thus formed be-

nucleus becomes much divided Of and

these sporozoites into The mosquitoes

er the meal of infected blood these
sporozoites are in the mosquitoes sail
vary glands, ready to infect the first
human being the insect bites.
When the mosquito punctdres the
skin countless numbers of these min
ute sporozoites are injected into the
wound. They instantly attack the red

The corpuscle is now dead or dying,
and it soon bursts, setting free the
multitude of sporozoites into the
blood stream. These again attack the
healthy red corpuscles, and the proc
ess of destruction is repeated.
AS the original sporozoites attack
the red corpuscles at the same mo-
ment, and as their development takes
certain time, usually about forty
eight hours, they are all liberated
simultaneously. This process is re-
peated over and over again in
rhythmic cycle, and every time the
red corpuscles burst and liberate the
merozoites the chill that is so char
acteristic of malaria comes on. This
usually takes place every forty-eight
hours, the intervals being filed with

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE
Vaudeville and Moving Pictures

Another clean and to-the-min-
ute vaudeville bill greeted the large
audience at the Davis theatre Thurs
day. 1t was with regret that the
theatre management had to substitute
one of the acts advertised but this was
unavoidable as the woman who was
to have appeared in Dunley and Mer-
ril1 was unable to sing. Manager AL
Craig got into communication with
Manager Murphy of the Lyceum thea
tire in New London over the telephone
with the result that Manager Murphy
sent Hunter & Chappell, colored sing
ers and dancers, who are appearing
at the New London house, to the Da-
Wis. After their appearance in the
Davis Thursday evening they were
hurried back to New London by auto
in time to keep their engagement at
the Lyceum. Eary and Eary, a crack
erjack team of gymnasts presented an
act that drew a generous round of
applause and Arnold and White put
over neat singing, talking and dane

The Triangle feature photoplay was
Daphne and the Pirate, featuring the
popular movie actress, Lillian Gish.
To complete the bill there was a two
reel Keystone comedy film, The Judge,

FOUR YOUNG MEN
ENLIST IN ARMY
District Recruiting Officer to Ask for
Central Auxiliary Station.

So far this month there have been
four young men enlisted in the army
at the recruiting station recently es-
tablished in New London. There have
been seven applicants and while one
of these was refused by the recruiting
officer two others dropped out Of their
own accord.
Major Mercer. the local recruiting
officer, is to ask the war department
for the establishment of a central aux
Hilary station in New London and If
this request is granted it will mean
the stationing of another sergeant and
corporal there and at least three pri-
Yates. The idea of the auxiliary sta
ton is to canvass the district for re-
cruits and not depend on the a,ppli-
cants coming to the station to express
a desire to join their colors.
Headquarters are in New Haven and
there are recruiting officers in Hart
ford, Springfield and Bridgeport. I'm
der the auxiliary idea all the terri
tory between the local station and the
nearest Of these others would be COW
cred by enlisted men in a search for
recruits.
Most of the applicants for enlistment
that have been received in New Lon
don have come from out of town.
