Little Arendals, Capping Kidneys,
+ Regulate Red Corpuscles in
the Blood.
DISCOVERY IS IMPORTANT
Wonderful Series of Experiments
. . .
at Johns Hopkins University
Described.
TP Ta— »
WABHINGTON, Dec. 4.—That all
animal life would perish after emo
tional excitement but for the little
Orgziis on top of the kidneys is the
conclusion of Dr. Paul D. Lampson.
These rush millions of red corpuscles
1o the rescue, he declared, after a we
ries of wonderful experiments at the
Johns Hopkins University. Dr, Lamp
.bn. of the pharmadcological labnra-!
tory, announced his discoveries to tha
National Academy of Scilences, Wash
ington,
Dr. Lampson’'s experiments ecom
prised removing one internal organ
after another from animals under the
influence of ether. The removal of
none or all of them a.d:cted the in
ereave of red corpuscles, after the in-
Jection of epinephrin, until he got Lo
the liver. He thus demonstrated that
the liver is the source of the red cells
or corpuscles in the blood.
Finds the Governor,
Epinephrin, as used by Dr, Lamp
son, was taken from sheep glands, It
is present in the human body, and
ether does not affect {t, making it the
logical substance for the experiments
here described.
He found that the governor which
controls the increase of the red cells,
same as a governor regulates a steam
dngine, is the adrenals.
. The adrenals are small bodles can
ping the kidneys in man and other
Vertebrates. In man they are one or
two inches long, less in width and
about one-fourth of an inch thick, ang
have little vessels and nerves.
As their function was formerly un
known, his discovery of their use as
the guardian and savior of animal life
from its own paroxysms of emotions
and even temporary brainstorms and
insanity is one of the most important
of modern times. He concludes:
“It has been found that the red
ocount is under mervous control, aw
shown by the increase in the number
of red corpuscles after stimulation «f
the vago-sympathetic trunks, after
asphyxia of the brain alone, and after
emotional excitement, such as fear,
rage, ete,
A Vital Mechanism.
“It was also shown that the
adrenals play a part in this mechan -
ism, as epinephrin has been proved to
be one of the most powerful means of
incteasing the number of red cels,
and as the chief physiologleal stimull
which produce the increase, namely,
asphyxia, exercise, fear, rage, ete,, all
::m A reflex stimulation of the
als, and an increased epinephrin
output,
“Removal of the adrenals was found
16 exclude the increase In the AN~
fear and rage, and after the
injection of pitultrin (extract from
mucous glands), although these same
-n!;lu rerponded to the infection of
spinphrin by the usual increase n
number of red cells Purthermore,
removal of the adrenals s followed
after several hours by a complete loas
of contro! of the red count ™ .

l Big Planets Made
Yellow, Violet and Red Rnro Are Used
With Strange Results by
Astronomer.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 4.--Using the
60-inch telescope at Mount Wilson
observatory, at Pasadena, Cal, the
largest of its kind in the world, Dr.‘
Robert Wood, professor of physics at
Johns Hopkins University, has ob
talned remarkable results in photo
graphing the moon, Saturn u¢~§lu
piter by yellow light and ultra-vidlet
and Infra-red rays. ;
The planets showed remarkable dis- |
ferences when photographed by the
different lights. On Saturn a broad,
dark belt about the equator was plain
ly visible on the proofs of the ultra-‘
violet photographs, but totally lack-1
Ing on the others. The polar caps
and the rings of the planet also
showed differences.
The change In Appearance was
caused, Dr. Wood says, by some ma
terial in the planet's atmosphere,
either finely divided dust or some
AbAorbing gas opague to the ultra
violet but transparent to the
‘ormmrmlow ones,
Jupiter showed even more markea
differences than Saturn, the mark
ings boln: very much more compli
cated and intricate in one than the
other.

. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Mrs. Evelyn
M. Stuart, of No. 720 Riverside drive,
ieft her husband after he told her he
could get-*lots of girls prettier and
younger” than she. QOne of these, he
told her, is “Phoebe Snow, of Chi
cago.”
- Mra. Stuart sued for a separation
decree. In her complaint she outlines
the story of her married life with
John Ross Stuart. He was served in
the office of the American Steel Foun

ness trips. He also, she declares, has
“an ungovernable temper, flies in a
rage and swears.”
One night recently, she says, he re.
turned home unexpectedly. She had
been out dining with a “Ms Shore.”
When she got home her husband
cross-examined her. SBhe told where
she had bteen. The next day, she as
serts, he visited the restaurants she
had been in and questioned employees
Ih her presence as to her cohduct.
Her father came to town to visit
het. They strolled down Broadway
and she- pointed out Sharnley's as a
place of general interest. “Yes, she
knows too much about those places,”
her husband said to her father. He
also told her fathgr she “must have
an aflinity,” and asked him to ques
tion her about certain hotels.
A year ago, she adds, her husband
went to the Army-Navy football
game with another woman. On his
return he was guilty, she says, of the
following acts:
Accused her of geing through his
pockets for loose change,
Slapped her face,
Threatened to "spoil her pretty blue
ayes "
Accused her of belng a flirt,
Threw money on theafloor and told
her, if she wanted it, to pick it up.
Proposed she get a divorce.

from the high level reached. The only
explanation given for the rise of over
$5 a bale above the extreme low level
was that some of the requirements
had to be satisfled and the spot holder
in the belt refused to make it possi
ble without higher prices. Some rath
er bullish estimates on the size of the
crop tended to aggravate the situation
from the standpoint of the bear trad
er, coming as they did when trade
reports were favorable,
The sudden outburst of strength,
however, received somewhat of a
shock Monday, when the estimate of
a New Orleans paper came about
600,000 bales larger than expected.
However, the market was given an
other bullish stimulant Wednesday by
some rather sensational forecasts on
what ginning was for the latter half
of November. The official report
thereon is due December 8 and will
have some bearing on the trade's
views as to the Government guess on
the crop, due two days later. In the
interim, opinions will vary much, al
though it is apparent that the con -
servative -idea is that, including lint
ers, the crop will not miss 12,000,000
bales much. 3
Speculation during the week has
been moderate, but the undertone ha
been steady, for the weight of the un
sold portion of the crop has not bee
seriously felt.
Holding of spots Bhows no signs of
weakening, although at the highe
prices offerings have been large
making for greater strength in the
situation.
There is nothing in sight to justi
expectations that holders will ¢
largely dictate the price at which tl
rest of the crop will he sold, for their
position Is better than it has bee
since the season opened.
