MICRO-MOVIE CAMERA FILMS
FIRST BEATS OF BIRDS HEART
Embryologist at Western Reserve Medical
School Hopes to Obtain Secret of
Growth Inside Shell.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January A birds
heart, as 1t begins its first timid and
hesitant beats in its career OF inspira-
ton for future song, has been caught
by the micro-moyie camera here.
The movie is taken of the embryo,
which Is diSSected from the egg about
one or two days after incubation has
started. The movie producer is DR..
Bradley NJ Patten, professor of en-
briology, Western Reserve University
medical school,
In the micro-movie the embryo is
shown floating in the liquid of the egg.
The embryo, microscopic in size. APP
pears on the screen like giant tad
pole or fish, about to feet long.
The heart-a simple, transparent, bulb
Gus tube, occupies a large part of the
picture.
At this staga nothing moves but the
little bulb The beating starts before
the blood is ready for circulation. The
tiny heart seems to be trying out its
strength-it is timid and hesitant-its
beating is intermittent and irregular.
Sometimes the pulsation stops for long
intervals, and then renews its inter-
mittent action.
Starts Flowing After Signal.
All this time, the blood is being
formed in the membranes of the egg
that surround the embryo. After about
38 hours a signal goes out from some
unknown source that the heSrt is ready
to begin its work, and the blood starts
flowing.
The corpuscles, which are transported
in fluid come to the heart in many
branches of vessels and appear on the
movie screen like grains of sand trav-
cling down chutes. They all move in
unison with the contraction and re-
laxaticn- of the tiny heart bulb.
In making the drama Prof. Patten
diSSects the embryo from the yclk,
places it in salt solution maintained at
body temperature to keep life from end
ing and focuses on 1t a microscope con-
tanned in an incubator. At the eye
piece is placed a motion picture camera
and the pictures are taken either by re-
flected or transmitted light.
In his work Prof. Patten hopes to
discover how the bird grows inside the
shell and how the contraction of the
heart progresses through 1t as it beats.
In the course of his work Prof. Patten
takes slow motion pictures to analyze
such motions as heart beat and rapid
pictures to analyze growth.

NEW YORK. November 4--Better

worth at parity more than $4,000. 000.-

abroad, and defaults by some of the
South American governments.

The committee Is particularly inter-
ested in expanding the scope of the
Institute of International Finance,
which the association organized in CO.
operation with New York University in
1926. 1t is proposed to enlarge the ac-
tivities of the institute, so that it may

therefore, details of what changes are
proposed in the institute will not be
