CATCHES LIFE’S FIRST
WEAK HEART BEAT
CLEVELAND —A bird’s heart, as
it begins. its first timid, hesitant beats
in its eateer of inspiration for future
- song, -has. .been .caught by the micro
movie- oj.ru or a. here.
* The .moy.oAs-taken- of the embryo,
--which is dxosected from the egg about
• one or two. (lays, after incubation has
„ startwii. The movie producer is Dr.
Brauiley M. Patten, professor of em
'£ 'hriologyv Western Reserve Univer
i. sity’s medical school.
In u,e micro-movie the embryo is
r -shown .floating in the liquid of the
y egg. 'ihe embryo, microscopic in size,
• . appears on the screen like a giant
• tadpole or fish, about 5 to 6 feet long.
'I he heart—a simple, transparent,
bu.bous tubs -occupies a large part
• of the picture.
At this stage nothing moves but
■ the little bulb. The beating starts be
fore 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 irreg
ular. Sometimes the pulsation stops
for long intervals, and then renews
its intermittent action.
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 heart
is ready to begin its work, and the
blood starts flowing.
The corpuscles, which are trans
ported in a fluid, come to the heart
in many branches of vessels and ap

pear on the movie screen like grains
of sand traveling down chutes. They
all move in unison with the contrac
Lo.. and relaxation of the tiny heart
bu.b.
in making the drama Professor
. a.ien d s: ects the embryo from the
y.<.k, p aces it in salt solution main

.croscop^ contained in an incubator,
the eyepiece is placed a motion
, l.ture camera, and the pictures are
.aken either by reflected or transmit
ted light.
In his work Professor Patten hopes
.o discover how the bird grows inside
the shell and how the contraction of
the heart progresses through it as it
beats. In the course of his work Pro
fessor Patten takes slow motion pic
tures to analyze such motions as
heart beat, and rapid pictures to an
alyze growth.
The micro-movies are also used in
connection with the researches of S.
Prentiss Baldwin, Cleveland ornithol
ogist, who uses ingenious electrical
and mechanical devices for prying
.nto the intimate home life of the
wren and her husband.
One of these devices is the electro
cardiograph, which shows the wren’s
heart to beat between 200 and 800
times a second. Another device is the
‘wrenograph,” which shows Mrs.
Wren to be very restless, leaving her
nest numerous times, day and night.
A thermo-couple and chart, just like
many used in factories, is used to
measure the temperature of the
heart. This also bobs up and down
with the bird’s restless action.
IIEKE’S A RECIPE FOR
REINDEER SAUSAGE
Here’s a recipe for reindeer sau
s_ge, as used at Bethel, Alaska:
Use two parts best meat, tallow
removed, to one part salt pork, and
sa.t to taste. Use two tablespoons of
pepper to nine pounds sausage meat,
ii gari.c flavor preferred, use one
clove garl.c to seven pounds sausage
meat. Never use onion. To can pro
duct, cook in sealed cans under 15
pounds pressure one hour. To smoke,
put meat in casings, then smoke.
To prepare jerked meat, take mus
cles from hind quarters, then slice.
For twenty pounds meat prepare
mixture one pint salt, one teaspoon
saltpetre and one-four.th pound brown
sugar. Rub meat with one-third
fresh mixture for three successive
days, then let stand in liquor six
^.ays, then smoke.
To can meat in tins prepare as sal
mon, using some fat and scant tea
spoon salt to pound can. Cook sealed
product at 15 pounds pressure for 40
minutes.

j Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
f elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
, Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Most
diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body”_to
the accumulation of clogging waste matter or poisons at vital
organs.
For centuries the world has recognized the value of health
! springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of the fam
ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one of nat ’.re’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroyi g poisons and building healthy cells
and tissues.
It is now possible for everyone, sick or well, to have perpetu
ally, and at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—
THE REVIGATOR WATER JAR.

is within the law. It wasn’t one of
those sips that pas sin the night. He
grew expansive, cheerful—then bois

N. Y. DELEGATION WILL BE
SOLID FOR ROOSEVELT
. The Brooklyn Eagle says a few
words about the “boom” for Owen D.
Young for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination:
“Mr Owen D. Young, returning
from Europe, remains tactfully silent
when confronted with a presidential
nomination handed to him by Colliers’
Weekly. He is doubtless grateful for
the distinction thus conferred, but he
is wise in declining to say anything,
about it. If he has ambitions in the
direction of the White House, which
we do not believe he has, he knows
it would be unwise to reveal them so
far in advance of the .next national
convention of the Democratic party,
to which he belongs.
"Mr. Young is intellectually equip
ped for the presidency, but parties
look for nominees among men con
spicuous in political life. His eminent
service on the international commis
sion which evolved the reparations
plan bearing his name was not po
litical in any sense.
“There is one thing which may now

be considered as assured in regard te
the expression of party sentiment
from this State at the next Demo
cratic convention. The delegation
from New York will be solidly for
Governor Roosevelt. Many, perhaps
a maojrity, of the other States con
templating the Governor’s record as
a vote-getter are likely to fall into
line. It will be mighty difficult to
turn this sentiment away from Mr.
Roosevelt, in favor of Mr. Young or
anyone else.”
“I am glad you stopped complain
ing about, the plaster falling down,”
laid the landlord to the tenant.
"That’s all right,” answered the
tenant; “it’s all down now.”
