is it not strange that we never hear
of•an'accideut from ordinary meteors,
though accidents from aerolitee have
not been altogether unknown?
Here is this great vessel, tate earth,

swiftest cannon ball, This, comments
Proctor in "Expanse of Heaven," goes
on day by day and by night, when liv-
ing creatures are far from shelter, as.
well as when they are protected in
their various abodes; and yet the in-
habitants of the earth are perfectly
safe from all danger. If one in n
thousand struck at human being the t
inhabitants of the earth would be al -la
a

Has Desired Effect.
If the German troops are drugged,
is there any drug which would pro-
vide a temporary false courage and
indifference to daniger and yet not re-
act with . disastrous results? Doe's
ether fulfill the requirements?
A distinguished New York pllysi-
eian with wide. experience in surgery
and the use of anaesthetics, when
questioned, did not' hesitate to say
hat ether would have the effief g_
eribef�l•_ ,ging alt American of some -
pro -German sympathies, he was
caned to resole the suggestion of
ord Northcliffe that it was necessary

miner, but nevertheless he declared
at ether in liquid form in small
ores could certainly be administered
to give men an abnormal recklessness.
Abnormally During.
The important point about ether
is that it stimulates a man's motor
centres and depresses his sensory
centres, thus making him abnormally
active and daring, while rendering
him =rear less unconscious of im-
pressions of pain and terror.
A person who has suffered from
severe and habitual ether drunken-
ness exhibits shivering or trembling
of the hands and feet, muscular weak-
ness, cramps in the .calves of the
legs, pain in the breast and back,
intermittent headaches, palpitattion,
singing in the ears and vomiting,
The French newspapers have stated
many times that they have found Ger-
man prisoners presenting all these
symptoms. It was supposed that
their condition was caused by the
poisonous 'gases of shells, or the con-
enssion of shell explosions, .but -the
medical evidence shows that it may
have been due to ether.

BRIITIFI HAVE FIVE
REASONS. TO FIGHT
HER AIMS AND IDEALS IN P0111
PRESENT CRISIS.
Viscount Bryce has written an
By- " article on "The Attitude of Great aria
Bin in the Present War," in which he
says
"We in.Biitain who respect and val-
ue the opinion of the free nenttat peo-
ples of Europe and ArnerIea cannot
but desire that those peoples filleted be
duly informed of the way in which
we regard the circumstances and pos-
sible results of the present'condliet."
Lord Bryce says there are live prin-
ciples on which the aims and ideals of
Britain in the present crisis are es-
sentially different from those of Ger-
many, namely, as to individual liberty;
as to nationality, which sympathizes
with the efforts of a people against a
foreign domination; as to the stain- cost s"
tenance of treaty obligations; as to
ctions the regulation of the methods of war—
