From the sea sled, the heart data will be broad cast to recording devices aboard a nearby small boat. The heart studies, carried on for years by Dr. White, Dr. King and j others, are useful for basic un- derstaodings of heart actions, and j promise to aid In clearing up some unknowns abouUhe human heart. Dm U Sti ! Heart ft For example. Dr.-White said,: some of the vitiations in human pulse rate and electrocardiograms! appear to be due to the size of i the heart itself, rather than to disease. I The studies generally show that ! the bigger the heart the slower the beat and the longer the inter val in certain phases of its elec trical actions. . - In 1952, Dr. White. Dr. Kjng and Jenks succeeded in getting electrocardiograms of the one-ton Beluga or white whale off Alaska. Its heart beat was 12 to 20 times a minute, and in size this whale's heart was about that of as ele phant's. Beats Compared . A mouse's .heart beats 300 times or more a minute. That of an elephant SO to 40 times. The hu man rate is usually 70 to 10. The small whales were studied with electrodes shot from cross bows. Special electrode-throwing crossbows, guns and other equip ment for this new expedition were built under Jenk s direction. The expedition will go to the Scammon Lagoon area where gray whales return each year to bear their calves. Helicopters and light planes will-aid the expedition, as needed. ' The party includes two Geographic Society staff members, Samuel W. Matthews and J. Bay lor Roberts.
