II. ( . |i ii input*.Some definite facts and figures showing the exact effects of smoking cigarettes have at last been ol-taiued by a scientist, who has experimented upon young coliege stu-deuts. This scientist is Prof. II. C. Buinpus, professor of comparative anatomy at Brown University.The student to be experimented upon first lay down on a couch, and his right arm, whicli was bare to the shoulder, was extended upon a low table, with the palm of the handupward. Prof. Bumpus then took upa narrow strip of bamboo about three feet in length and very light.Upon one part of the wrist, over a bone and In a pluce where it would be steady, a cork was fastened. To this the bamboo strip was ufflxed. Another cork was placed on the wrist, directly over the vein, where the pulse-beut is most easily felt.The end of the bamboo strip rested on this second cork, and it rose and fell with each pulsation. This motion was plainly visible to all of the class of Brown University students, who surrounded Prof. Bumpus during his experiments.The first record taJien was the normal pulse of the student on the sofa. This fluctuated from 02 to 07 a minute, rising in one instance to 71. The total boats of the normal pulse for five minutes was 032, or an average of 00 2-3.The Brown student on the sofa then began to smoko a cigarette, “inlial-iag” the smoke, ay do nearly all cigarette smokers. His pulse immediately jumped up.Tlio first minute It reached 75, which was a higher record than any normul pulsation could show tor a single minute. During the first five minutes the pulso fluctuated from 71 to 77 a minute.Tho total lor the whole five minutes was 370. Tills showed that cigarette smoking made a normal pulse which averaged 00 2-3 a minute jump to an Increase of 75 1-5 beats a minute.Upon a second trial, and after waiting three miuutes, ids pulse was up to 83, making a total of 3‘JO, or an average of over 70 for five minutes.A third trial was then taken, after tho student had smoked two cigarettes. His pulse by this time remained steadily over 80.In one instanco It reaelked the extraordinary height of 80 beats per minute. The total for five minutes was 420 beats, an average of exactly 84 lionts per minute.It will thus be seen that the normal pulso of the student, lying upon a lounge, ana unaffected by cigarettes, averaged 30 2-3 beats per minute, and after smoking two cigarettes It reaches an average of 34 beats per minute. The cigarette smoking had added more than 17 beats per minute to the normal pulse, an acceleration of almost 25 per cent.Bach beat of the pulse could be easily .counted by means of the rise and falling of tho bamboo strip, and Prof. Buinpus field a watch in 'his hnnd, while one of tho Brown University stuoonts made the record. After this practical exhibition of the exact physical effects of cigarette smoking the popularity of cigarettes has rapidly declined nt Brown University.— N. Y.
