fuel manufactured from waste
wood led the two discoveries to

!; SCIENTISTS | Il / / IT'S ARE
AIDED BY new
ELECTRIC ROBOT
Device Given Extensive Test
by Professor at
Princeton.
Bp Science Service

bN science sfTCtce
PRINCETON, ". j., Nov. 49,
Much of the wearisome, routine,
midnight-oil work that now beSets
biologists and other scientists will
be taken off their hands by a new
electrical robot described at the
meeting of the National Academy
Of Sciences here today.
The device is the invention of
A. L. LOOMS, banker-scientist, Of
Tuxedo Park, N. Y, and has been
given its first extensive workout by
Professor z. N. Harvey Of Princeton
university.
The mechanism IS intended for
the recording of a natural rhythms,
such as breathing, beating Of a
heart, or rapid impulses along a
nerve trunk. It is geared in such a
way that ten successive beats are
recorded by a straight line drawn
up a pen, the length of the line
indicating the time of the action.
Then the pen goes back to the
zero line and starts recording an
other ten beats, on line parallel
with the first.
Used in Three Experiments
The instrument will keep this up
for hours or days on end, so long
as ink, recording paper, and the
pulsating animal or organ hold out
In the meantime the scientist, who
- 20 cit xrr0fntA hiC
experiment through many weary
hours can lecture to his classes, or
play golf, or go home to bed.
Professor Harvey has made use of
the new chronograph in three series
of experiments, one on a rhythmi-
cally flashing neon lamp, another
with human subjects tapping a
telegraph key, and the third and
most extensive with the isolated
heart of a turtle. The flashing of
the lamp, purely physical process,
did not vary l per cent during four
hours. The Infinitely more compli-
Gated and variable human mechan-
ism, as was expected, showed fiuctu-
atoms of as much as 20 to 80 per
cent in fifteen minutes.
The turtles heart was selected be-
cause it keeps on beating indefinite
ly after the animal has been killed
and it has been taken out of the
body. Kept at constant tempera-
ture in physiological solution, it
continued to beat, in one of the ex-
periments, for thirty-Six hours.
Show Wide Variations
1t was learned that individual
hearts show wide individual varia-
tons. One slowed 60 per cent dur
ing a twelve-hour period, while an
other varied less than 2 Der cent
over nearly five hours, and less than
/ per cent over half-hour periods.
There a-e commonly periodic
changes in rhythm superposed on
the heart beats. A heart may show
a 8 per cent decrease in rate, last
ing three minutes, every twenty
minutes for four such periods, or
similar 3 to 4 per cent increases in
rate lasting a few minutes for three
fifteen-minute periods.
After leaning something of the
performance of the "uormaP' isolat-
ed heart, the effect of drugs can be
studied. When adrenalin is added
20 the solution containing heart
it accelerates the action of the mus
cles and at the same time makes
them operate more regularly. The
thirty-six-hour record for one of
these hearts was obtained by means
of adrenalin treatment.

CURB MOVEMENTS
 TODAY UNCERTAIN
Selected Shares Gain But Profit
 Taking Drops Others

New York, Aug. 22 LPy - Price movements on the curb exchange were again without definite trend today, Aggressive operations for the advance in selected industrials and utilities were counterbalanced by profit taking in other sections of the list, inspired by the prospect of a laroe increase in brokers loans to be announced after the close.
 The stock of the gigantic new in vestment company, Blue Ridge Corp, which was traded in huge volume yesterday encountered con- siderable profit taking, which was attributed to misunderstanding oyer the withdrawal of the offer to ex- change stock for that of 21 leading "big board" stocks. The common opened bout a point lower. rallied a point 10 29, then slipped off to 27 at which price it was still at ' premium of seven points.
 The misunderstanding was later cleared mp by c. F. Stone, president, who said that reports that Blue Ridge would cease to exchange it's stock for that of leading corpora tions was wholly without founda- tion, and that only the particular offer as advertised Tuesday had been withdrawn. He said the cor poration is continuing to exchange it's stock in large amounts for that of companies in which it wishes to invest.
 The utilities were generally strong. Electric Bond and Share rising about points to the neighborhood of it's peak price, while American Superpower, Allied Power and Light, American and Foreign Power war rants, and Electrical Investors made substantial gains the last named losing some of it's advance in real izing during the early afternoon.
 United Gas Improvement dropped about 10 points at the opening, but soon re3ained most of it's loss. Niagara Hudson and American Gas and Electric were under moderate pressure. Arkansas Natural Gas and Cities Service again reached new high ground with small ad vances
 In the industrials, Hood Rubber was in good demand, in response to optomistic estimates of the econ- omics to be effected through the merger with Goodrich. The stock sold up couple of points to a new top. Anchor Post Fence was again in demand, reaching new high levels. Aluminium Co.,, which was under pressure yesterday, rallied after dropping nearly 10 points. Oils were irregular, Humble mak- ing a moderate gain, while Gulf and 1 Vacuum sagged. Standard of In diana was steady. Tn the minas. Ncwmont turned heavy, while Noranda held steady.

 The season has been ideal for camping and large number of boys heightened their stay beyond the time for which they enrolled. A great deal of work has been done in merit badge test passing as well as life saving. The crafts have also been emphasized and more boys have learned how to make their own archery sets, or have become skilled in leather work, bead work, wood carving and even head dress making than ever before.

MARKET MOVES UP
 AS FEAR IS LOST
Brokers Loan Crisis Passes and
 Brisk Gains Are Made

New York, Aug. 22 LP) - The stock market. apparently having re- covered from it's fears of a large increase in brokers loans this week, moved upward in brisk fashion to- day under the leadership of the high grade rails and public utilities, more than a score of which established new high records. Gains in the ac- tive issues ran from two to nearly 12 points, with trading fairly heavy in volume.
 Reduction in the call money rate from to per cent for the second successive day, coupled with an cas- fer undertone for time money also had a bullish effect on speculative sentiment. Wall street obviously was pleased at the continued high rate of steel output and freight car load ings, and the unusually favorable character of most of the current earnings reports. Little attention was paid to the separations crisis at the Hague or the further military dis turbances in the Far East.
 While several conservative con- mission houses continued to urge a Tightening of long commitments on the theory that many stocks were lover bought" others continued to advise the purchase of the railroad and industrial leaders on the theory that large blocks of these stocks are being taken Sut of the market by investment trusts and that scarcity in the floating supply, coupled with expanding earnings, in dicated further sharp advances in those issues.
 Du Pont ran up II IA points to 2O7 1-2, Warren Bros, II to 1892, ! Commercial Investment Trust to 2O5 7-S, Westinghouse Electric common 3-4 to 263 1-2 and the first preferred ' to 250, Pacific Gas & Electric IA to S4 3-4, Pere Marquette 5 to 215 and Woolworth to 9S 5-S. all new high records. Bethlehem Steel, Southern Califor- mia Edison, Sparks Wilmington and General Railway Signal also moved into new high ground.
 Extreme gains of to Il points also were recorded by air reduction, 1 Federal Light & Traction. General | Electric, Johns Manville and Stone & Webster
