. A CHECK ON THE IIEAUT
Onp of thepreclous tools employed
by the- medical profession. In the
diagnosis of a variety of heart con
ditions Is the electro-cardiograph, a
modern. Instrument. - .
The groundwork for electro-card lo
graphy, however, was laid down In
tho latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury by two great Italian scientists,!
Lulgl Galvanl, whpse name Is per-
pptuated m the instrument employed
to detect and measure electric cur-:
rents, the galvanometer, and AUes-
andrp Volta, whose name wsh given:
to the unit of electromotive force,
thi Vnlt. .
. liv -ai, immensely impressive scries
cf studies these scientists revealed
the stimulating effects of electricity
on nerves and muscle tissue.
Upon their work later . scientists
based other- experiments which dem
onstrated that electricity Is an essen
tial energy form associated with physical-chemical
processes In both liv
ing and non-living things.
- Ac a result, various practical", ap
nllcatlons of electricity have been
'made to study the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases.
The electro-cardiograph explained
In its simplest terms consists of a
galvanometer and an .arrangement to
make a permanent record of the elec
tric waves recorded. . . .
.The contraction of a muscle sets
up' a current of electricity. Tills

this for. a special muscle, the heart.
In its contractions the heart sets
up electric' currents. Wires are ap-
puea io coin arras ana cne ieir, ley.
These wires lead the electricity' to
the galvanometer.' : ' .
v By an ingenious, arrangement,- the
variations; in the ' electric currents
set up by the heart are. photographed
on a strip .of film, and a permanent
record is thus made. ' - ,

hoarsely, Ills lace turning

''Can't you hear! . . , Any mnn

"Rock, I I we Throyrln'

"Dunne, you don't fit on till

Bcorn. "Keen out of. my way here'
after." Then he turned to the other
riders. "Reckon you're not wlllln'

he calls another a rustler, knows
it's true and Is ready to fight.'. . .
Tell Hesbitt exactly what happened

'All right, Rack, we'll shore give
Hesbitt the straight of this' replied
the rider.
The four mounted met) rode
away, and Dunne made haste to get
astride and follow, Rock called

"Qunne, I reckon all the Pros-
'tons Ash in particular will take
your Insult to mo home to thenv

The throe young Prestons with
Rock certainly took it so. Through
;; the whole affair they had boon
palo, set-faced,- silent.
"Looks bod to me, boys," said
Harry, gloomily. "Clears up some
queer remarks I heard in town."
"Lot'B rustle home." ,
.Hook agreed, whereupon they bent

"Hoss, Al told tho truth, and put
it mild at that," replied Rock, and
turnod to tie his scarf before tho
mirror. In the glass he saw Pres
ton's oyes roll and fix with terrible
accusation upon his son, "Sit down,
both ot you," went on Rock, and
pros'ontiy faced1 them again. Ash
was coolly rolling a cigarette, his
face a mask. Preston had been
drinking of Into, but appeared so
ber, and now, though grim, and
i nrtKry. met Rock'B' Blance stdadlly,
"Wnl, that's short ntf swoct,"
he said, with a gruff laugh.. "So

'' "Foiir eighty, If wi counted cor

Preston.
'u "Rock, suppose you tell us every

Thus adjured, Rock began a mi:

'' "So you Invited Dunne to draw?"
''Preston qiiorlod, rising with his
' eyes like lights behind transparent

and sore," admitted Rock,' "But
what could you expect of me? Ho
made me out a rustler, though he
'crawfished yollow on It. Besides,

'Cowboy, I nevor expected you'd

"Would you mind glvln' mo your

" 'Most as short an' sweet as the
