Brain Becomes Hot
When Eyes Are Busy,
Scientist Reveals
Delicate Meter Tests
Temperature Changes
Chicago.—Measuring the heat
of a brain-wave is the latest
achievement of Dr. R. W. Gerard
of the University of Chicago, who
10 years ago, with Dr. A. V- Hill,
British Nobel prizeman, first
measured the heat of a nerve mes¬
sage.
In the past four years much at¬
tention had been aroused since
scientists found it possible to
measure the electricity which the
brain produces when it works.
More recently, Dr. Gerard re¬
ported to the American Physiologi
ytl society, the amount of oxygen
Used by portions devoted to the
senses of sight and touch has been
measured. He has now been able,
with a thermometer which records
a change in temperature of 0.00075
degrees Centigrade to measure the
temperature changes o' the living
arain.
How Instrument Works.
The thermometer is an electrical
one, and the “bulb” is the size of
a fine needle. This is inserted into
.he particular part of the brain of
the laboratory animal to be
studied. When it is desired to find
out the heat involved in seeing,
;he needle goes into the paths that
lead from the optic nerves and the
eye, for instance, where it is located
within one twenty-fifth of an inch.
Illuminating the eyes of the ex¬
perimental animal, the experi¬
menters found that these optic
pathways in the brain began, with¬
in a minute, to get warmer.
For two minutes more the tem¬
perature rose, until it was a hun¬
dredth of a degree above normal
for the resting brain. Four min¬
utes after this, the temperature was
again that of the resting brain.
Reaction of Paws. . ,
The Chicago physiologists found
a similar response to pressing the
paw, when the tiny thermometer
bulb' was placed in that part of
thp brain which has to do with
touch. In some parts of the brain,
both pressing and “seeing” had the
effect of raising the brain tem¬
perature.
The investigators have evidence
that these changes in the brain
temperature are in part due to an
increase of blood flow to the por¬
tion of the brain used in sight,
when the eye is illuminated, and
to that portion which is used to
distinguish touch when the animal
is pinched; but in part due to the
actual work done by the nerve cells.
Suicide Decrease
Is Recorded in
Year’s First Half
New York.—A new drop in the
suicide death rate among insured
wage-earners is in prospect for
this year, if the better record of
the first half of this year is main¬
tained.
Figures compiled by Metropolitan
Life Insurance company statisti¬
cians show that the suicide rate
was 8.9 per 100,000 during the past
six months.
At Peak in Depression.
The fact that the increase in sui¬
cides reached its peak at the very
height of the depression caused
some speculation as to whether
economic conditions influenced self
destruction.
Dr. Louis I. Dublin, Metropolitan’s
statistician - vice president, points
out that it is equally significant that
the suicide rate rose steadily in the
feverishly prosperous years im¬
mediately preceding the depression.
Plants Crossed Pacific
200.000.000 Year s Ago
Cambridge, Mass. — Evidence
that plants migrated across the
Northern Pacific ocean nearly
2tXi.0tXl.tXX) years ago in the epoch
of time that geologists call Lower
Pernian has been unearthed in
Texas by Harvard explorers.
The discovery of two new species
of Tingia, a genus of long extinct
plants hitherto unknown in America
but found in China, was announced
by the Harvard University Botani¬
cal museum where the specimens
were studied.
Tingia are plants like cycads, a
group that flourished for about a
hundred million years (during the
Mesozoic era) after the age of the
discovery just made in Texas. Cy¬
cads living today in various parts
of the world look like palms or
ferns, with root-like trunks rising
20 to 60 feet crowned with leaves.
‘Can’t Miss’ Torpedo
Repeats Attack if
First Shot Fails
Projectile Invented by
John Hays Hammond, Jr.
A “CANT-MISS” torpedo, one
■lx that would come back if it
should miss on the first attempt,
and strike the enemy battleship
on the opposite side is described
in a patent recently granted in
Washington, D. C., to John Hays
Hammond, Jr., one of America’s
champion inventors who has a to¬
tal of some 385 patents to his
credit.
The enemy ship itself would cause
the errant torpedo to return for a
strike.
The inventor also reveals in his
patent a method intended to con¬
trol whole groups of torpedoes by
radio, so that like an attacking
squadron of airplanes, they may
be maneuvered in v-shaped, eche¬
lon (oblique), or any other forma¬
tion, slowed up or speeded against
any attacking fleet of battleships.
Can Turn About.
Only when a torpedo fails to
make a direct hit, does a novel
control device built in the torpedo
go into operation to turn the tor¬
pedo about and redirect it to crash
into ■ the hull of the ship. This
unique mechanism Inventor Ham¬
mond calls a “magnetic balance.”
It is connected to a long antenna
which trails in the water behind
the torpedo.
The torpedo also has a wireless
receiving mechanism by which the
firing ship may steer the torpedo
to the left or right according to
the direction of movement of the
enemy battleship.
Thus, one dash on the radio
signal turns the torpedo so many
degrees to the left; two dashes, so
many degrees to the right, while
a long dash operates mechanism
which reduces the torpedo’s speed.
Is Radio Controlled.
If a whole salvo is fired at once,
the individual torpedoes may be
arranged in any attacking forma¬
tion by the radio control.
The “magnetic balance,” which
makes the torpedo turn an about
face in case it misses, is a com¬
plicated electrical mechanism so
connected that it lies dormant un¬
til there is a miss. If the torpedo
passes the enemy ship the “mag¬
netic balance” is upset by the
magnetic disturbance which'^th 8
nearness of the hull sets up.
Bats Have “Homing’
Instinct, German
Scientist Finds
Berlin.—Bats migrate like birds,
though not to such great distances.
Like birds, they know the way
home again. Female bats have a
second “home”—a nursery cave,
where their young are born, and
where males very rarely intrude.
These are among the results of
an intensive study of bat ways con¬
ducted by Dr. Martin Eisentraut of
the University of Berlin here.
Dr. Eisentraut attached identify¬
ing bands to over 6,000 bats, after
the manner of banding birds. Hp
did this while the bats were in
their winter quarters in two places
in central Germany. Captured and
reported subsequently, the bats
showed migration tendencies prin¬
cipally toward the north and east,
but their range was not great.
Range 300 Miles.
In no case did it exceed 300 miles,
and many of the little animals did
not fly more than four or five miles
from the winter cave.
In winter quarters, male and fe¬
male bats share the same caves,
hanging in great clusters from the
ceiling and wall projections. But
the nursery cave is distinctly a “no
man’s land;” male intrusions are
probably mostly accidental.
Meat Made Tender Quickly
by Chemical Injection
Washington.—Now that steak
may be given an added tender¬
ness - !
How meat in general may be
made more tender by pumping a
special "tendering” solution into
the arteries of cattle right after
they are slaughtered is revealed in
a patent granted here to Levi S
Paddock and Cleo A. Rinehart. Chi¬
cago inventors.
Enzymes, akin to those which
help the stomach digest food, are
used by the inventors in their
tendering solution. By t h e i i
method of pumping dilute solutions
of such enzymes as trypsin, pepsin
and papain into the vascular sys¬
tem of the animal body, the in¬
ventors claim that they avoid the
long period of aging which is
practiced to obtain tender meat.
In practicing the technique at
incision is made to expose the
heart of the animal. Then, to any
of the arteries leading from the
heart, th^v connect a pipe through
which is forced the dilute solutibi
of the meat-tendering Enzyme*.

Money Destroyed
When Uncle Sam’s paper mon¬
ey becomes worn and badly soiled
it is returned to the Treasury
where it is destroyed and bright,
new bills issued in its place. If
all denominations were thorough¬
ly mixed together before being
tossed in the macerator each ton
of money destroyed would contain
approximately 590,000 one-dollar
bills, 190,000 fives, 130,000 tens,
60,000 twenties, 20,000 twos and no
more than 10,000 fifties and high¬
er denominations, which proves
that the larger denominations do
not wear out so quickly. The
twenties, fifties and larger denom¬
inations do not circulate with
nearly as much velocity a3 the
ones, fives and even the tens.—

Only Woman to Attend a Ceremony
at “The Altar of Heaven.”
PEIPING.
A IF THE third of the powerful
Mings, Yung Lo„ who built
the Altar of Heaven 1420, can
possibly detach himself from
among the shades of his honor¬
able ancestors and read over my
shoulder what follows in this col¬
umn, he will indeed suffer the full
limit of spiritual distress.
Be it known to readers of this
generation it was the will of Yung
Lo that at the festival and blood
sacrifice made semi-annually to
high Heaven by the reigning Em¬
peror occupying the Dragon Throne
of China no woman should be pres¬
ent. For nearly 500 years not a fem¬
inine eye looked upon what beyond
all shadow of doubt was the great¬
est manifestation of adoration for
invisible power offered by mortal
man.
In the year 1896, a.Manchu-Amer¬
ican, daughter of a lord of the
realm, at the invitation of Emperor
Kwang Hsu, beheld in the full light
of a new-born day what no other
woman had witnessed.
This remarkable woman, born
Princess Shou Shan, now in her
fifty-fifth year, wife of Gen. Dan,
adviser to the present military coun
cil of Peiping and a sister to Prin
cess Der Ling, herself one of the
most talented women of China, is
my authority for the statement.
Was Member of Court.
"My life and education made it
possible for me to come into inti¬
mate relations with the imperial
Chinese court,” said Mrs. Dan in
response to my request for verifica¬
tion of a rumor that in her teens
she had seen the forbidden cere¬
mony. “My father, Lord Ku Keng,
made a widower by the death of his
first wife, married Louise Pierson
of Boston, who gave him four chil¬
dren, two sons and two daughters,
of whom I am the youngest.
“Brought up in France, where my
father served two terms as Minister
from China, I added French and
English to my already thorough
knowledge of Chinese, and later the
language of Japan, where Lord Ku
Keng represented China in the Min¬
istry. Selected in my early teens
by the Dowager Empress to serve as
a lady in waiting of the imperial
court of the Ching dynasty, I grew
up in an atmosphere of regal mag¬
nificence, made the more agreeable
by virtue of my extreme youth, be¬
cause of which I enjoyed the favor
of both the dowager and the em¬
peror, the latter insisting, in view
of my sparsely covered frame, that
I be dressed on occasions in boy’s
attire and taught the full cavalry
manual. My sister, Princess Der
Ling, also a lady in waiting, was
more at home in feminine attire.
Favorite of Empress.
“At fifteen I could ride and man¬
age any horse in the imperial sta¬
bles, almost daily riding in company
with the emperor, who was much
amused by my performances in the
saddle. Nor was the dowager em
press less entertained. I was fa¬
vored to a marked degree and by
the court looked upon as a privi
leged character. During prepara
tions for one of the semi-annual
ceremonies at the Altar of Heaven
I expressed to the Emperor a desire
to witness the spectacle from which
for nearly five centuries women had
been excluded.
“ ‘It must be accomplished, if at
all,’ said the emperor, ’without the
knowledge of the empress. Might I
suggest that you advise her majesty
that due to court life you are suf
fering from intermittent headaches
of such nature as to require a few
days' retirement from all responsi¬
bilities exacted of a lady in wait¬
ing. If you are successful in evad¬
ing the conventional program the
connivance of your eunuch is all
that is required to supply you with
a horse properly caparisoned to en¬
ter the procession.” '
Joins Procession.
Princess Shou Shan, stiil one of
the most attractive, graceful and
brilliant women in Peiping, her
mind turned backward forty years,
smiled at the memory of that spring
morning when in the brave trap
pings of the imperial cavalry
mounted on a spirited horse, she
entered through the gates that open
upon the great compound containing
the Temple of Heaven, rode up to
the Altar midst the throb of drums
and the echo of bugles, first of her
sex—and the last—to set eyes upon
this greatest demonstration of the
many held in the history of the
Chinese empire.
“In the midst of the ritual,” con¬
tinued Mme. Dan, “that official
whose function it was to read the
invocation, glanced up and recog¬
nized me. In his confusion he short¬
ened that part of the ceremony by
one-half. Suddenly the emperor,
and in turn all of the nobles and
officers present caught the spirit of
my adventure with varying degrees
of astonishment. I was quite em
barrassed until a swift but kindly
glance from Kwang Hsu, evident to
all present, acted as a stabilizing
influence."
