The origin of (seasickness is not so
apparent as many eeem to think,
That the exciting cause la the motion
eroduceci by a ship on a rough sea is
the indefinite reason assigned, but it
Should be remembered that sea,sick-
/testi arises in litany circumstances
watch are not those of a ship in
Motion. It is communicated by other
ntotions, by the swing, a railtvay train,
the tossing of an airplane and by the
revolving chair in which aviators are
tested. In their endeavor to recon -
elle and harmonize these varying and
lioniatimes irreconcilable influences
physicians have reached different
conclusions. Most of them believe
that seasicknees is a form of verigo
due to irritation of the auditory nerve
distributed to the membrane of the
iland-circular canals of the internal
ear.
This celebrated theory has been
generally accepted, or rather it vats
accepted up to the most recent date.
During the past year, however, it has
been the subject of numerous criti-
cisms by army sargeons who have
been engageciaM watching the effects
of sea voyages on troops and civil -
lane. The experiences of air travel
have also been studied, as the motion
of an eirplane is in many respects
like that of a ship, In order to un-
derstand, aoth the theory and the
Objections to it a definition of what
It means seems necessary, Accord -
Ing, then, to this theory the irritatiop
of the auditory nerve is caused by
the ;notions of a vessel on rough
water, but not by these alone. Any
motion which is contrary to that us-
ually experienced will cause a set
of symptoms exactly similar to tame
of seasickness. But this is not all.
The aindemental cauee of seasick-
ness is the varied movement of the
fluid or lymph within tho semecircu-
lar canals of the ear.
This theory has been defended and
explained in a book just published on
"Equilibrium and Vertigo," by Dr.
Isa,ac Jones and Dr. Lewis Fisher,
Although it rests upon some undoubt-
ed' evidence, its essential defect, that
it does not cover all the tante of sea-
sickness, has been pointed out in re-
ports this summer from European
countries. It -is not denied that the
semi -circular canals have something
to do with the symptoms—they have.
The semi -circular canals inform us as
to our equilibriam by means of the
constant alterations in pressure of
'the fluid within their delicate walls.
This is closely connected with the
coordination of muscular movements.
The semeeircular oanals couseitute a
sort of spirit level of the body. It is
not difficult to understand that any
motion •which will more or less vio-
lently throw the fluid Against the
containing walls, richly supplied.
With delicate nerve endings, will pro-
duce symptoms referable first to our
equilibrium, then to the brain, and
• finally to the stomach.
". rettely two objections to this theory
lime been argued on practical
grounds If the theory were true,
then deaf mutes, in whom the semi-
• circular canals are absent or imper-
fect, would be immune to seasicknese.
Some writers, in fact, have rather
hastily assumed that they were bn-
num', thus unc)nsclouely begging the
question at issua. As deaf mutes do
nett often take sea voyages, evidence
was lacking until lately, when the
Italian naval autbocities published a
repoit, on this and allied queshons.

It is positively stated that "the easier-
Ity of (leaf mute e are not inunane to
lemeicituess,"
Another error is due to a coremott
mistuiderstanding of the true nature
of vertigo. Many paysiclans sent to
take it for granted that the dizziness
produced when a Man is reeolVed
rapidly in a -chair ie the same as the
vertigo of seasickness. It is argued
that b't both cases there 15 violent
oscillation of the fluid in the semi-
circular canals, and that the vertigo
and sickness produced must have the
same origin. Recently the cause in
both eases has been sought more
ileealta and it is fourtd that in the
Purely artificial vertigo of the re-
volving chair there is also oscillation
of the eyeball, a different position ote
the head, and a form of dizzinese
Which leads a man to stumble or
ward. In tieasickness all these symp-
toms are absent,
The cause of sea vertigo is therefore
not so simple as a single motion like
that of a revolving caller. It is a
compoette motion, in which the body
Is subtected to such varied sensations
as those of falling through space, or
pitching, tossing awl rolling on board
a vessel. The fluid in the semiecirea-
tar canals may or may not be dis-
turbed.
In searching for the true cause of
seasickness Dr. Naame, of Paris, has
endeavored to find out under what
conditions it is inveriably produced.
hi other words, the aim of his in-
vestigations was to find the factor
which is responsible for the ailment
in all cases. Such a survey has not
been hitherto accorded to seasicauess.
The starting point was the fact
noted by an physicians that children
seldom suffer, while infants are near-
ly immune. It is also a fact that
some children are unablt no use a
swing, to do rope dancing, or travel
ou a elute or switchbacie railweer, ow-
ing to nausea, giddiness and heedeche
being caused. Adults suffer in the
same way when a ship falls into the
trough of the zeta, when an elevator
drops suddenly or when a swing or a
hammock takes a downward motion.
It was necessary to explain why aortie
people are seasick while asleep. Tha
factor common to all cases is thus de-
scribed by -Dr. Naame:
The undulations of the waves pro-
duce in a ship's motion a series of os-
cillations which are transmitted
through the solar plexus tc the inter-
nal organs ot the- body, caecking the
ttecretiern of Cite glands above the kid-
neys. The results are nausea and
vomiting, low pressure. The picture
Is stritingly like that of seasickntss.
This theory explains the immediate
cessation of the ailment when the
patient sets foot on dry land and the
rarity of seasickness among children.
Tee reasons are that in children the
secretions of the supracrenal glands
are stable, not being much affected by
nervous impressions, while their small
bodies and firm mantes give little
grasp for escillations of the sea. Tata
explains why adults are benefited by
wearing a belt around the waist.
13romides and sedatives are of little
use. Tbe only cure is adrenaline,
which ads instantly if taken bet(' *3
meals, and is equally efficacious in
seasickness 'and in the sickeess ex-
perienced on railway trains.
In a detailed account of the remedy
the French physician explains its ac-
tion. In ordinary language adrenaline
is the product of the suprarenal
glands, and in its pure chetnical term
is a well-known stimulant, In aea-
sickne,ss there is a deficiency of thin
substance in the blood, and the resnit
Is a loss of control over the stomach
and nerves which are specially affect-
ed by the motion of a vessel rt sta.
Control and equilibrium are. speedr4r
restored when adrenaline is taken,
and the symptonis of seasickness soon
disappear. Apparently the Uody is
stabilized by this agent. This rem-
edy is also much used at the front in
checking bleeding, and is an approved
war measure, On account of the 'au-
thoritative source of this discovery it
is given more eredenee than cures for
seasickness have usually obtained.—

ILittle Known
Animal Facts
+4+.*44֥41..+41.-4-1-4-4,_
Whether or not animals see the
world as we do Is a question that has
perplexed naturalists and scientists.
It is usually answered. in the negative
But the answer really turns on what
is meant by seeing.
The physice and chemistry of the
light perceiving apparatus of man
and the higher animals differ only
In minor details, anel even In the
case of the lower seeing animals the
eyes are affected by the same rays as
those acting upon human eyes. Unless,
therefore, we -mean by seeing or per-
ceiving, apperception, that is, tram-
lation of the seeing' into ideas and.
thoughts, there is some excuse for say-
ing that animals do see -the world as
we do.
This ie the conclusion reached by
-more than one authority. It is believed
that- even the insect has very much
the same sort of picture of external
'because ite eyes are susceptible to
the same rays as the human eye.
Obviously, however, this is an ex-
tremely narrow and technical point of
• view. Seeing in the ordinary sense is
more than the mere focusing of Im-
ages on the retina; it is, in fact, ap-
perceiving, and our ideas ot the ex-
ternal world are the products of pro-
eeseee far more complex and wonder-
ful than the rare pessage of light in-
to the eye.
Seeing in this sense is so much an
individual thing that each man has a
world a his own perhaps quite differ-
ent from, that of his next. door neigh-
bor. And this despite flee fact the two
pairs of eyes conian% be told apart.
If the idealist's- belief that the only
realities are our apperceptions is true
the animal world must be a very.
trude and primitive affair. Despite the
opinions of -these scientists, -therefore,
the conclusion is justified, at least
for ordinary purposea, that insects do
not see the world at all as we do.
Pekingese dogs, otherwise Chinese
lapdogs, have a curious history.
On October 8, 1861, an English sol-
dier helped to ransack the imperial
palace at Pekin and took imca -to his
captain a little dog that Wee supposed
to have belonged to the Empress. At
any rate,the Empress' attendants made
frantic •attempts to regain, the little
creature, and the English officer fin-
ally struck a bargain, by which it was
to be sent -as a present from the Chin-
ese ruler to Queen Victoria.
Good feeling was thus established
all around, and the little dog, bearing
the name of reootys was domiciled at
13uckinghant Palace. He was a very
lonesome little treature, the otter
dogs taking exception to his Oriehtal
helfits and appearance, and when the
Prinee and Peincese of .Walee return-
ed from a tontinental trip, the latter
pleaded with leer mother-in-law to be
allowed to take Looty to Sanding -
ham.
.about six months later Looter's
mate arrived from China, and the
breeding of this speeies of dog became
a diversion in fashionable society.
Not Many years ago a number of wa-
nton, got together material for a. dog
of the Dogs from the Palace of Pekin.
Looty, who had long Pince passed to
dog heaven, was represented by a very
numetoue progeny.

HINDENBURG IN ECLIPSE.
(New York Tribune,)
For many weeks report e have been
coming out of Holland that liinden-
burg is dead, incapacitatea or in re-
Grement. Now the statement is made
by the Paris Matin That Quartermas-
ter -General Ludendorff has eken over
Hindenburg's title of 'enter of the Gor-
man general staff.
That would mark no eeel charge in
the German high cemmand. Lease-
dorff has always been the power be-
hind Hindenburg. He was the latter's
chief aid away back in the days of
the Mazurian lakes campaign. And
the two had been inseparable up to
the beginning of the 1918 German of-
fensive in France.
But it was no secret in Germany
that in their collaboration the nominal
subordinate_ was assumftig more and
more the lading role. In the Reich-
stag recently a Socialist deputy chal-
lenged the military party to show its
hand by displacing you Healing as
Imperial Chancellor and naming Lu-
dendorff, the real master within the
military group. The people might
still erect wooden images of }linden-
blirg and drive them full cif nails, at
so many pfeenigs a nail, But he was
only the wooden idol. Ludendorff was
the god within the machine.
Fortene favored Hinden,burg. He
was recalied from retirement in Aug-
ust, 1914, and sent to check the R.

Hindenburg's chief asset was las
martial appearance. He had -the face
and bulk of an old pagan war gdd--
A Thor and Odtn combined. He was
the spirit of jperman militarism ite

populace worshipped hint and put him
itt a niche ever higher than that re-

He had one great military quality—
an almost stolid serenity. He said
when he was beginning the brhasion
of Poland late in 1914 that the war
was a matter of nerves and thee the
Russians would crack under the:strain.
He knew absolutely that he would win

could. win in the West, for there Ger-
many enjoyed no similar moral super-

The Swedish Almanac.
The Swedish name almanac differs
from English almanacs in giving, besides
the usual infOrmation, a Christian name
for each seX for every day of the year,
says Lendon graphic. The names set
forth have to receive the approval of
the king. The object aimed at is to
secure a greater choice of names for
parents and to aveld endlees repetition
of a dezen or so names. ,A. similar name

How Rain Bores Holes.
When ram tette it does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in, forming tiny tubes. These tubes
are so small that it would be impos-
sible to insert a hair in soma of them
without bursting its walls. Some-
times the tubes are boreddawn to a
. depth of four or five feet.' When the
surface dries tete water evaporates
from the tubes, jest as it would from
a pipe.
If the tube is twisted It takes longer
for. the water to evaporate. et One
takes a rake and stirs the ground af-
ter each ram, he breaks the tops of
the tube's and the water will stand in
them for months.
M this way the farmers of the
West, on the semearid lands, store
the rainfall one year, and raise a crop
of wheat every other year—there be-
ing sufficient water in two years, eut
not enough in one, to raise a crop.
