be able to influence you, but I know
that he has been drawn into it un-

him no alternative but to give up

"Go!" he repeated. "You're in

SCIENTIFIC POSSIBILITY,
You May,Yet See "lour Own Heart.
Pulsations.
To stand before a kinetoscope and
see there reproduced the actual pul-
sations of your own heart, to note
in the flying squares its location and
appearance, and to deLiherately count
its strokes—that is the startling
possibility opened to mankind if the
experiments now being made by Dr.
M. X. Kassabian, of Philadelphia,
aro successful.
The result is to be reached by the
combination of a powerful Roentgea
ray and'et specially contrived photo-
graphic apparatus operated on the
principle of the kinetoscope. This
machine, if constructed, would Ile so
thned as to correspond with the pel-
sations of the normal human heart.
The proposal to thus may bare the
innermost secrets of anatomy was
suggested by Dr. Kassabian in a
paper read before the convention of
the American Roentgen Ray seciety
in Houston hall, Unit -cavity- of Pen-
nsylvania. It aroused instant, af,:,
tention, and has been the subject of
widesprea,d comment.
LNSISTS ON FEASIBILITY.
Dr. Kassabian was disinclined to
predictions when interviewed, but he
is eaxnest in his opinion of its fees,-
ibility. Thus faia his experiments
have convinced him the only pro-
blem lies in the construotion of a.

the heart's action entirely practical.
Formerly a single X-ray photograph
took from two to four minutes. Now
one can be secured in a second or

heart is seventy-two strokes to the
