PARALYSIS
Paralysis appears to be a disorder
of the muscle, . but it is ,in reality, a
condition which results from a dis-
order of the nerves or the nervous
mechanism which controls the mus-
cles. The disorder of the nervous
r l causes either a it
cont idity of the
o g
muscles or a relaxed state; in either
'of these, complete or partial loss of
control exists, and the muscles in-
volved or the part served by the mus-
cles, is said to be paralysed.
• The disorder of the nervous con-
trot is caused by damage to the ner-
vous tissue. 1f the spinal , cord is in-
jured, there is a loss of sensation be-
low that point. The .senses of touch,
pain and temperature are lost because
the 'connection which carries these
sensations from the skin is broken at
the point of injury. Paralysis does
occur as the result of infection, the
action'•of bacteria or living disease
germs. In certain communicable dis-
eases, the spinal cord is selected for
special attack. This .is the case in
infantile paralysis, in which disease,
unfortunately, paralysis is one of the
outstanding features. Injuries of .the
bead may result in •paralysis on ac-
count of the brine's pressing on cer-
rain centres in the brainwhich con-
-trol the muscles.

The rupture of a blood vessel' in
the brain means pressure depending
upon the extent of the haemorrhage
and its location, paralysis to a great-
er or less extent occurs. This condi-
tion is commonly 'called apoplexy or
paralytic stroke. The blood contain-
ed in the blood vessels is under pres-
sure. If the wall of the blood vessel
it may give way under this pressure
and haemorrhage result. The blood
vessels of the brain are particularly.
delicate .and that• is why they give
way first. The weakening of the
y
blood vessel walls occurs as a result
of disease, particularly syphilis. In
other cases, the break is not due to
any particular weakening of the blood
vessel walls, but toan increase in
the blood pressure to a point that
causes the blood to burst through the
vessel walls:
The extent of the relief which may
be given to the paralysed depends up-
on the condition. any forms of the.
disease can be helped; some can be
improved; for others, unfortunately,
little or nothing can be done, Pre-
vention is chiefly done through the
control of infections:

IN THE "CRUW'S.NF ST
Newspaper 'Wan Visite the "Look.
Out" of Atlantic Steamer In
"+hide" Vireather.
High up on the foremast of e giant
Mier there is a big bulge, like a huge
barrel round the mast, Tt is the eye
of the ship, for in it, throughout a
voyage, without a moment's break,
two men stay whose sole work is that
of watching sea and sky,
It is the liner's look -out, and only
men who have exceptionally good
eyesight are ehooeu for: the work Qt
staying aloft in this "look -out;" The
ivory life oP the mammoth, carrying
perhaps, 5,000 people, depends on
them. •
The look -out men are :like eagles
in an eyrie, and they have need to be
alert and of piercing vision when
rushing across the North Atlantic at
the rate of nearly thirty mile an
hour. They are better placed than
the officer on the bridge for seeing
things` ahead, and they are provided
with a loud -speaking telephone so
that they can communicate with the
bridge, without their words being
drowned in the howl of a gale or the
roar of the sea. Powerful binoculars
are given to them.
The crow's-nest is a source of fas-
cination to passengers, some of
whom make great efforts to be allow-
ed to to visit it; but the captain rarely
gives permission. For one thing, the
men must not be hampered in carry-
ing out a very rigid duty, and for
another, it is not by any means every-
hody -who is physically: capable of
reaching the nest, writes a Tit -Bits
man.
How do you get to the coveted,
"barrel," and what..is it really like?
First you go down to the sea -deck
and enter a:deer in tho huge steel
funnel which forms the. mast. Then
you climb a seventy -rung steel lad-
der,
adder, an uncanny. performance inthe
darkness; when theship is pitching
and rolling.
-Havin clambered up, ,you reach
the platform of the 'nest, and find
yourself in a circular cage which is
protected by a canvas screen called.
the "dodger" and that protection
and as much more as you can get is
needed when the liner is driving into
anything like bad weather, ..
From the nest you get a wonderful
+view of the ship, and you realize how
essential it for the look -out men to
climb up inside the mast, to avoid
the danger of being blown or washed
overboard. Here is the telephone,.
and just above your head, within
easy reach, is the ship's bell on which
the look -outs repeat the .time -bells,
which are struck every Half-hour by
a quartermaster on the bridge.
A message from the 'nest—and it
may :be one of life and death; as, for
Instance', it an iceberg is suddenly
sighted right ahead—is acted upon
with the swiftness of thought. The
eye,—the nest—sees; the -brain -the
bridge—acts, and helm and engine do
the rest, It is all a marvellous- ex-
ample of human efficiency and dis-
cipline.
- As a rule the look -out men work
in threewattches, with two hours on
and four hours off duty. It is an un-
doubted advantage to have two men
working together in this way in clear
weather. In thick weather the look-
out is strengthened. -
In a giaet liner eight men are re-
sponsible' for this important task of
seeing, as completely as .human in-
telligence can see, what is ahead and
around the monster which is racing
across the vast ocean.
Two hours at a stretch do not
seem much, but in that lofty metal
box you are glad of plenty of thick
clothing even on a summer day. Ima-
gine what it-ts• like • in -a winter galel-
The liner has her own high speed
plus the high velocity of the. wind.
Show your face to that combination,
with snow and icy sleet thrown in,
and you may well wonder why your
features are still left. To the intense
cold and discomfort must be added
the aggravated :motion. so:_ high. aha\ -e -
the deck—it is as if human beings
were peas in a giant rattle.
The noise is appalling, The roar of
the wind, •accompanied ' by thunder -
like: crashes of enormous seas break-
ing on.board, is deafening. Iu such a
swirl and smother of water it looks
as if the mast tu`ust be snapped and
the nest hurled' into the turmoil.
But the look -out does .not worry.
He knows that the nest is staunch
and true, and that the nest willnot
give way even under the charges of
those wandering terrors of seas
known as the "Three Old Men of the,
Atlantic."

ized With Advantage.
How much work can a lively breeze

The Danish. Goveremetlt reports
that the velocities of the wind which
are practicable lie between ten to
fifty feet a second, and the Motor

itself atttoinatieally to all conditions,
including storms. It has been found
that a"motor with only four wings is

MAMA' Ro4AD ,AN ix s.
Evidence.' of Dire Poverty In Warr
time A,.ntons Ancient Indians,
'An"Unwritten drama of American
prebiatory has •-beeit pieced together
'from. 'exploration of a fortress -1140
ruin known as Mesa Hoaee by M. Be
,Harrington, who directed aa archaeo-
logical expedition, to Nevada for the
Southwest Museum, says a Science
Service bulletin..'
This pueblo was built for defence
on the top of an tnaecessible table-
land near Overton, Nevada. The
Pueblos who lived in Southern Ne-
vada in the early centuries of the
Christian era had enioyed peace and
,prosperity in the 'tlost city," their
'metropolis, and in other scattered
communities in the lowlands of the
Moapa valley. But, then these scat-
tered homes were abandoned for the
safes' retreat of Mesa House, a crude-
ly built high fort, and here followed
a period of distress, poverty and ten -
al ' disaster, the expeditor has adis
covered.
Poverty is shown at Mesa House
by the scarcity of beads and orna-
ments which were so abundant at the
lest city, Mr. Harrington explained,
Only bare necessities of life are found
he the ruins.
"The rooms of Mesa.. House were
9f solid adobe and stone construc-
tion, three waives gateways gave ac-
cess," he stated. "Outside of the
stronghold were a number of scat-
tered, one -room 'dugouts which seem
to have been the homes` of the peo-
-pie, who doubtless abandoned then,
to take refuge in the main structure
at the first alarm of danger.
"An unusual number of arrow-
heads found here tell the story of
preparation for an attack. But whe-
ther this dame. and tho inhabitants.
were massacred or whether they
q uietly withdrew to the larger Pue-
blo settlements in Arizona without a
battle cannot now be determined
fully; although the finding of a large
earthen cooking pot artfully hidden
against its owner's return would sug-
gest the latter."
• Mr. Harrington considers it likely
that the enemy so dreaded and pre-
pared against were ancestors of the
present Southern 'Palates, still living
in; the upper end of the Moapa Valley.
The excavations reveal a picture of
the last days of the Pueblos in
Nevada, and pottery, found at the site:
tells the time at which these Indians
made their last stand. Crude and
primiteve as Mesa House was, it was
occupied in the days when Pueblo In -
Wane of New Mexico and Arizona
were building the largest and finest
homes ever erected by Indans north
of Mexico.
LIQUID
SUGAR.
Is Now Being Delivered By the Pipe -
Line System.
Rivers of sugar are beginning to
t ow, says an article in the New York
Times. Just as the oil barrel was
superseded by the pump pipe line and
tank conveyors, so, it appears, the
sugar bag and barrel are beginning
to be • displaced. Their former con-
tents are travelling in liquid form, in
bulk. The, day may never come when
'the housewife will carry her sugar
home in a bottle, but already many
of the products slie uses are sweet-
ened with liquid.
Under the old system box cars lin-
ed up - outside the shipping depart-
ment of the refinery, where bags and
barrels of refined sugar were piled
high. When loading tine crime many
men scurried back and forth with
their little hand trucks, taking a few
packages at a time and trundling
there into the car. At the buyer's
plant the process was reversed:,. and
from. the receiving department and.
the storage rooms the trundling went
ons all over the factory, wherever
sugar was wanted.
By the new system a gravity• pipe
line from the Storage tank in the
'refinery conveys the liquid sugar to a
tank car "or-a'tank "truck. t At the -
buyer's plant the sugar may be pump-
ed from tank oars -to a distributing
tank in any part of the building. 'In
fifteen minutes, it is said, a quantity
of sugar can be delivered that would
require three men fifteen hours to
unload by the old method. Factories
that use the new system are also
equipped withpipe lines throughout
to convey the sugar from the distri-
buting tenter wherever needed.
This method of handling sugar for
quantity customers is dependent upon
a recently discovered carbon of un-
usually high purifying activity, which
makes possible the production of a
white syrup, as refined as granulated
sugar, directly from the raw sugar.
The syrup -taken directly from raw
sugar requires a. much higher degree
of purification than does granuiated
sugar, it is said, because the process
of crystallization leaves many impur-
ities behind in the residual liquors,
from which the syrup must be remove
ed by the carbon.
"Shah of Persia's Jewels.
The fabulous treasury of Jewels of
the Shah of Persia was estimated at
$170,000,000 by the oommrittee of
French and Dutchjewel experts, who

ation ever made of any Eastern po-
tentate's gems. This figure, however,
does not include the famous Darya I:
Noor diamond, which is so huge that
the experts were forcedto admit that
they were unable to Set its value.
The shah's collectionincluded ten
pounds of pearls, twelve pounds of
rubies, and thirteen pounds of emer-
alds, the largest of the latter alone
being worth $ 27 6,000. Ms indescrib-

It was a learned doctor and pro-
fessor of anatomy who wrote this
hymn. He was also, one of the most
renowned literary men the United
States have every produced. He came
by. his genius and learning naturally.
His father the reverend Abiel
Holmes, D.D., of Cambridge, Mass.,
U. S. A:, was one of quite a long line
of scholarly influential men, a not-
able man greatly respected by a wide
circle of friends ,.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was born
at Cambridge in 1809, and naturally
was educated at the near -by Harvard
University, where he graduated in
1829 as a medical doctor. He .estab-
lished himself as a beneral practition-
er in Boston, Mass., where he lived
the rest of his life. "He married in
1840, and in 1847 was appointed Pro-
fessor of Anatomy at Harvard.
In 1830 he visited England and en-
countered some of the literary giants
then existing there. His genius ap-
iiears to have been aroused and he
took delight in the writing of poetry
in which he afterwards• won great
fame. Few finer things have been
written than "The Chambered Nau-
tilus,” in which he makes the mur-
muring sea -shells sing:—
"Build
ing: "Build thee more stately mansions,
No other Orange Pekoe
(can equal this in flavour
`Fresh from the gardens'
?5®
O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low -vaunted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than
the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome
more vast,
Till thou art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by
life's unresting sea!"
In 1857 "The Atlantic Monthly
Magazine" was started and. Holmes
along with other writers of the New
England school contributed to it. His
"Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" a
a suppositious series of conversations
around au ordinary boarding house
table, gave him occasion to display
his wonderful wit and his marvellous
stores of knowledge upon every im-
aginable subject. These brilliant ar-
ticles won him a fine reputation and
which added to his poetical writings
and the remarkable essays he poured
out in liberal streams, made his name
to be known and respected wherever
the English* language was spoken.
To his credit, be it added, he was
always kindly in his humor, and al-
ways morally sound and wholesome
in all that he wrote. Never was he
far in his thoughts from the eternal
verities, and his quickness to note an-
alogies made it easy for him to give
a turn heavenwards to his writings.
As a scientist he recognized the fact
that the foundation science upon
which all the -other sciences must rest
and build, is theology—that is science
or knowledge of God, and His ways.
—well called the Queen of all the
Sciences!
In 1886 he again visited Great' Bri-
tain and was received with affection
and the greatest respect wherever he
went. He was accosted as the dean
of United States literature and learn-
ing, and was amazed to find, himsel€
even more popular than in his own
country, His great conversational ab-
ility, his nimble wit, his quiet and
gentle demeanour in the company of
learned, added to the fame of his
writings had won for him, and it was.
considered entirely fitting when the
ancient University of Harvard con-
ferred its highest degree upon him.'
Dr. Holmes died in 1894 in Boston..,
He wrote no hymns as such but from
his poems, verses have been culled
and made to serve, very acceptably
as hymns,. The one printed above is
a good specimen and makes a really,
fine hymn—praise to God with pray-
er according to St, Augustine's defin-
ition. Some of the hymnbook's 'Con-
tain also
ontainralso three or four other such as.
"04..6.'Father, while our hearts un-
learn," "Father of mercies, heavenly
Friend," "O' Lord of hosts, Almighty
ICing,"—both these two last for sol --
Biers and war -and "0 Love divine
that stoop'st to share."
Our hymn for this week is taken
from his "Professor at the Breakfast
table," and was written in 1848. Dr,
Holmes was by birth and upbringing'
of the Unitarian faith, and it is in
the hymn books of that denomina-
tion that most of his hymns are to
be found, though as might be guess-
ed
uessed from what has been said of his
character, tliey are not unsuitable for
the use of any Christian congrega-
tion.
