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, etc. -St. Louis Republic.

"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. Switzerland's Navy.

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."
