There is prebably no minor ailment which causes so much discomfort, none whiell Pine so little synipathY front these unaffected by jt, and has has had such divergent treatment With so little reault. The authori- tative report that a cure has really been found Mut a special interest in these days of travel and the con- stant croeeing troops overseas. 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. Observations on ships carrying rein - •goes and emigrants, among wham awere certain large proportion of 4 -*-4-4-4-4-4444 ) deaf mutes, bare MUNI tale etteStiou. 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.— Now York Sun. • al • City of Three Day's Journey ey Lieut.

ILittle Known Animal Facts +4+.*44÷•41..+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. 4 I German Tyrann3r.

(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.

When Russia showed signs of coital:me aria the East front became a einecure It as called weat, to hold the Allies in France and Bel- gium through 1917 end to plan for the great Gerraan offensive in 1918. 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 carnated. No wonder the German populace worshipped hint and put him itt a niche ever higher than that re- served for the supreme war tord. 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 in the East. ale never said that he could. win in the West, for there Ger- many enjoyed no similar moral super- iority.

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. z 4 SPANKING DOESN'T CURE!
