THE heart of child at birth
l. weighs less than an ounce;
that Of an adult, half a pound.
The energy which causes it to
contract develops in some nerv-
Gus tissue called the pace
maker" of the heart.
Apparently this energy is the
equivalent of a thousandth of a
volt. The impulse passes on so
that the heart beats 100 times a
minute in a small child and, on
an average, 70 times a minute in
an adult.
This pump, DR.. Paul D. White
points out in an article in Hygeia,
moves 500 gallons of blood a day,
and during an entire lifetime
beats two and a half billion
times, a total of nearly 100000
gallons.
The figures are astounding,
particularly when it is recognized
that the heart never is quiet until
death and that the only rest it
gets is the rest from excessive

where there is poverty, malnutri-
ton, and overcrowding. Few cases,
comparatively, are seen in hot
countries.
While rheumatic fever is the
most serious form attacking chill
dren, the heart also may be Grip
pied in childhood by results of
various infectious diseases, such as
scarlet fever, diphtheria, or meas
les, when convalescence is too
rapid and the child is forced too
soon into physical activity.
Dr. White says that the family
of the child may do much to aid
it in overcoming its defect when it
has heart disease.
The home in which a sick child
or for that matter a healthy child,
lives" says Dr. White, must strive
unself1shly for the welfare of that
child With physical care,
proper discipline, a cheerful re-
ligiop of some sort and good ex-
example, the child with heart
disease can grow UP to be happy
useful member of the community,

Fate Took Hand

IN colonial days, the heath hen
l. was found in most of the
sandy scrub oak plains of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Long Island,
New York, New Jersey and Penn
-sylvania.
But by 1910 it had disappeared
from most Of this area. BY 1870
the bird was found only on Mar
tha's Vineyard.
In 1908 a state reservation was
established on the island A sur
vey showed that only fifty heath
hens still were in existence. IN
der proper care, the birds seemed
to thrive, and by 1914 their num-
Der had increased to about 1000.
Then, fate took a hand in the
game. In May, 1916, a fire swept
over the interior of Martha S
Vineyard, destroying the brooding
birds with their nests and eggs.
The summer of the fire was fol-
lowed by an unusually hard Win
ter, which brought an extremely
large flight Of goshawks, the nat
ural enemies of the heath hen.
The next spring there were
only $50 heath hens on the island,
most of them males.
Next, turkeys were introduced
on to Martha's Vineyard. They
brought in an epidemic to which
the heath hens proved suscepti-
BILE.
The mortality was so great
among them that the colony was
reduced to thirteen birds, of
which only two were females.
During the fall of 1923 only two
heath hens were seen. One Of
these disappeared during the win
ter. Since 1929 there has been
only the one on the island.

SCIENCE
Heath Hen Still Alive
BY DAVID DIETZ

A S 1888 was getting under way,
L A the worlds last heath hen
was reported to be still alive. He
was seen in swamp on Marthas
Vineyard, the little island off the
Massachusetts coast, on Jan. 3 by
Jules B. Davis, an observer who
had seen the bird in past years.
The heath hens last previous ap-
pearance had been on Feb. 9, 1882.
The bird is the last survivor of
a once-numerous species. When it
dies, the heath hen will join the
passenger pigeon as an extinct
species. Once upon a time pas
senger pigeons were also numer-
Gus, but the last survivor of that
species died in the Cincinnati Zoo
at / p. m. on Sept. l, 1914
Its stuffed form now graces a
shelf in one Of the exhibition
rooms of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition of Washington.
The stories Of the passenger
pigeon and the heath hen are the
stories Of birds which could not
survive the coming of the white
man to the new world.
Even when the white man tried
to befriend these birds, they could
not survive. Perhaps help was
offered too late.
When the first settlers landed in
America, the heath hen was COM
mon throughout the northeast
region.
In fact, it was such a common
article of food that servants in
colonial Massachusetts often stip-
ulated that they were not to be
served it oftener than a few
times a week"

Filipi,los May Be Placed in

MANILA, Feb. Is. Manuel Quezon, President of the Philippine Senate, in expressing his commen- dation of the Dickstein bill to re- patriate unemployed Filipinos in the United States, said today he was calling a conference of insular officials to discuss a plan of send ing all possible of the repatriates to Mindanao Island.
 There are vast tracts of fertile land in Mindanao Island, second largest of the Philippine group. which await settlement, but immi- grafton efforts the past decade have made little progress.
 Quezon said he feared an influx of thousands of idle Filipinos would add to the unemployment problem in Manila.
 The bill was introduced in the House at Washington recently by Representative Dickstein, Demo- crat, of New York, and provides for sending destitute Filipinos to their homeland at Government ex- penSe.
