This particular fact le demonstrated
at the mouths of rivers. Objects rolling
along the bottom of a fresh' river, too
beavy to come to the top, will rise
when they are carried out to sea. The
general rule also -applies to floating
bodies, For instance, a ship with a
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes a
foot on entering a fresh water port.
On the other hand, if.she leaves a fresh
water port with her cargo she will rise
when entering the ocean. So a ship
may be loaded apparently too much at
a wharf and still be all right on the
waves.
In building a dam the fact of salt
water's being heavier than fresh must
be taken Into consideration, and the
dam for the same head must be a good
deal stronger; this, too, without taking
into consideration t be beating of waves,

An Unfortunate Phrase..
"Franz der kaiser," Napolen's fa.
tber-in-law, who was a rather weak
and silly ruler, had nevertheless a thor-
oughgoing belief in absolutism and in
the divine right to rule of even the
most incompetent of the Hapsburgs.
His abilities, such as they were, were
best displayed in catechisms that he
wrote and printed for the use of his
humbler subjects and in peevish crit-
icisms of those of superior intelligence.
According to the author of a recent
life of Archducbess Maria Louisa of
Austria entitled "An Imperial
elm," the emperOF once raged against
his doctor for remarking that be had
"a good constitution."
"Never let me bear that word again!"
be said. "Say robust health U you
like. There is no such thing as a good
constitution." -
SyCtem Which ICIAs Beeii Revived.
Is it po sihle to provide the feeble,
xtinded With more ,brain until they
ire normal?Wild though the possl•
bility uiay seem to the lay $find,,"i i•
has, nevertheless, been seriously des-
sussed at the Congress of Medicine in
Paris, ,,i;'ttrthermore, experiments in
the' sdience which -is known as "or-
ganotherapy" have already been
intteti pted.
This science '° really Consists of
treating diseased organs with medi-
cines made from similar organs. It
pointed out'by medical experts that
the building up or doctoring of one
organ with extracts from a similar
one was practiced 2,000 years ago,
although,, of course, in a very crude
Fashion, It is -on record that patients
suffering from an affection of any
particular part of their twstem were
given the same Part of an animal to
eat, with the .idea, of repairing the
local waste and damage. Phus con-
si:'"}ptives were ordered to ea'c sheep
lungs, while fol dyspeptics was, pre
.cribed a diet in which the stomaci
of calves ranked' as the chief item.
In an address o . the subject
livered by a widely -known Rouinats
tan doctor, Dr. Iscovesec, he remarl,
ed, that special importabc is attach-
ed to the treatment ot anaemia by
this method. "The old treatment with
iron,". he declares, "was neve" abso-
lutely satisfactory while if ae lipoid
extract of blood' corpuscles is admin-
istered to patients -the corpuscles ra•
pidly multiply and the anaemia dis-
appears."
Probably the most startling sug-
gestion made by tis" doctor was that
of curing the feeble minded by this
method.. This physician held that so
Long as organotherapy worked so well
along other lines, it stood within
reasonthat it would work well with
the feeble-minded. By giving them
a lipoid extract of ' rey !natter, an
extract of the brain, it ought to, in-
erease their mental faculties and in
time give to thein normal' brain.
Of course, if this is possible, it
will be one of the greatest wonders'
snd most valuable things in modern
or ancient medicine.

Origin of Stammering.
A new theate. as to the origin of
stammering i;, ,,et forth by C. S.
t3luemel in a' bouk on that subject.
it is usually said that stammering is
lue to t:pasna or to incoordination of
muscles, but this is no explanation,
.is it does not tell what causes the
spasm or the incoordination. Ac
lording. to Mr. Biuemei, stammering
Is the result of transient auditory
amnesia --forgetfulness of the sou'
of words r;
—which produces the sec-
ondary conditions of mental con.
fusion and fear, these being inten-
sified in some cases by autosugges-
tion. The initial cause may be slight
and limited to early lite. It mad
even lessen and disappear, while the
secondary effects remain as acquiree
habits.
America.
Amerigo Vespucci's letters about
the Dew world were made the basis
of a book (about 1507) called "Cos,
urography," by a certain Waldseemui,
ler, -who suggested that, as Amerigo
was the discoverer of this "fourth
part of the world," it should be called
aft er him. The name took and, first
applied to South America, was given
later to theentire western continent.
Sanies Bryce remarks: "The series of
incidents by which the name of a
Florentine -adventurer was given, first
to a continent he probably did not
discover., and then to another which
ae never saw, is as curious as any-
thing in geographical history."
