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.

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: Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation,.184 College Street, Toronto will be answered personally by letter.

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." 'USING THE WIND. Many Cases In Which it Slay Re Util- ized With Advantage. How much work can a lively breeze do? Although for any purpose re- quiring a more or less continuous supply of .power the wind is wholly h unsuitable energy there ,nevertheless. ate many cases in which it may be utilized with advantage, even ff it has to be supplemented by such a standby as an oil ,engine and worked in conjuhction with a storage battery, • which generally Is an . indispensable adjunct, wind power may prove a source of economy. The Danish. Goveremetlt reports that the velocities of the wind which are practicable lie between ten to fifty feet a second, and the Motor must be so constructed as to adapt itself atttoinatieally to all conditions, including storms. It has been found that a"motor with only four wings is the best.

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 have just 'completed the first valu- 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- ably magnificent throne in the form of a spread of peacock's tail aha.. studded with thoueande of jewels, was valued at ten million pounds.

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.
