Arterial Bt*o4 now.
One of the moat interesting of th«
new peycho-physiological instru
menu is the plethysmograph. which
indicates the least flow of blood in
the arteries of the arm. By means
of it observers have found that when
the sentence of the judge is read be
fore a criminal there is a decrease in
the flow of blood in the arm. but
that the eight of a glass of wine in
creases the flow. Again, when it is
required to perform an arithmetical
calculation, to multiply for example,
times seventy-three, an increase
of blood flow is the result.
The flow is little affected in a bru
tal murderer or born criminal when
a pistol is shown to him, whereas in
the normal man the plethysmograph
indicates a decided effect Thus in
voluntary testimony is supplied as to
the nervous and physical nature of
♦he horn instead of the accidental

On the corner of Ninth avenueaud
Eighty-first street, just below tha
elevated station, is a small, uapaint
ed wooden house about four by six

couple of bapthlack chairs and a
dark skinned tenant who operates
these. Outside is another chair used

It is often said that residents of the
extreme north do not feel the cold so
keenly as the records of the mercury
would lead one to expect.
This fact, if it is a fact, may per¬

by Mr. Julian Ralph is his book
“On Canada's Frontier” seems to be
adequate.
He says that the reason why the
people do not suffer more from ths

from Parts. An eccentric marquis,

the curb opposite her door and every
day used to send in a pint of chest
nuts, in the heart of which pearls.

After a week the fair one yielded and
bestowed her hand upon her devoted

But the marquis has since been
