A Tlhwtan "Hind Rfwk nf Xloril. _ cine." published 1.000 rears ago, has been recently examined by the Rus stan Academy of Medicine, and it is found to contain many variable truths that have been discovered and redls csvitfed_-hx modern physlclansT A few extracts from the ancleBt vohiiae are given: "Number of bone^ln the human body. 350: number of nerTes. 99; number of pores, 11.1)00,000." "The heart Is ^tho king Of the organs and the staff of life. The lungs embrace It "Illnesses ara due to man's malice, ignorance and Inability to curb the, piMlflM. for these things Interere with the proper nourishment of the , human organs." "All unkind thoughts react upou the Jie^rt and liver." | Methods for ascertaining the condl- ! tion of a person's health were much like those that are used to-day? feel ing of the pulse and looking at the tongue, taking the temperature, etc. In those days the law Imposed Ones upon surgeons and physicians who did not keep their Instruments clean. Veg etable medicines were advocated; also the bath, compresses, massage, etc. => Early Telescopes. - * It appears, according to _ facta col lected by Mr. Arthur Mee, that Thomas Harriot, the English astron omer. born In l!?607*hiade telescopes perhaps contemporaneous with the the first Instruments of Galileo. The very first telescope seems to have been made in Holland In 160S. The next year Galileo heard of the discov ery, and after writing for information, began his own exfterlments. In .the same year Harriot -had one or two of the Dutch telescopes sent to him, and immediately began improvements on his own account It appears that he made a considerable number, dnd Mr. Mee suggests _lhat some may yet be found in some of the older colleges, or mansions, In England. It Is said that Harriot's last and best telescope was nearly twice as powerful as the best made by Galileo. Long before. Harriot had been in Virginia, and there employed. In purveying, a "per spective glass." It would be very in teresting to know Just what his per- j spectlve glass was. Who Columbus Was. In the afternoon In ail the schools a part oTthe time was devoted to the study of the life and deeds of Colum 'An amusing reply was given by- one of the pupils. A teacher had told the class of the wonderful voyage of Co lumbus and how he Insisted on con tinuing the voyage after the other men were clamorlng-to return. Then ' see asked': "wua.^as Columbus'*.'" with the view of hearing how w?M they had followed her talk. One "little hand went up. ? "tVett. -Jntnravnrhir -wirw V-?" the teacher. "Columbus was the gem of the ocean." ^ Cause for Reflection. I "The editor of my jnrpor." dCTiareir' : the iit-wspaper business manager to a ! little coterie of friends, "is a peculiar * genius. Why. would you believe it, when ho draws his weekly salary he keeps out only one dollar for spend lag money and sends the .rest to- bis wife? in Indianapolis!" lUs listeners? with one exception, who sdt silent and reflective? gave vent to loud murmurs of wonder and admiration. i "Now, it may sound thin." added the speaker, '"but it is true, nevertheless." "Oh, I don't doubt It at all!" quick ly rejoined the quiet one. "I.JW only wondering what he does with thij do! lar!"? Ladies' IltfThe Journal.

Boy Life. Enemies of the Rjibber-Tree. i A great deal of attention has re i ceotly been given to the cultivation of rubber, on account of the continual* ly increasing demand for It Prof, j Francis E. Lloyd points out that "the ( Inevitable struggle of man with nat ? ure" has already manifested itself In I this new field. Already a considera ble number of parasitic enemledFhave ? been discovered, "whose energies poar to be largely concentrated upon | cultivated rubber-trees." It Is an? .other problem for science to deal with. Electricity as a Carrier. Does an electric current, when pass ing through a metal conductor, cauae ' any transportation of particles? It Is well known that It does so in the liquid fonductorn known as elec trodes; In fact, such a common operi ; tlon as el$??r($1atlng depends entlre I ly upon this actibn. To test the mat hter ? reeest experimenter passed an electric current contlnously for a ; whole year through a conductor com i posed partly of copper and partly of aluminum, the sections being pressed , firmly together. At the end of the year they were taken apart and ex I ajnined, but not the slightest trace of elfher metal *raa found 111 tb4 Other. That ~B?uV Piling. The use of the word "blue" to Tioie melancholT or terror, as In the phrases to "feel blue/' "blue devils," a *T5tuc fun*,** and on so, 1b not en tirely figurative, If we are to credit a recent medical writer- The class1 of phenomena that Includes fainting, vertigo, nausea, etc.. is controlled by certain brain centers that also bring about a sort of cramp of the external muscle* of the eye. The resulting compression of the organ causes ob- 1 Jects to loalt gray or bluish, and ultl- j niately produces apparent darkness. The use of the word, having" a physio logical basis, is common to many lan guages. French say, TfiT In stance r "I see blue." A writer says that the French word ebloulssement (gtddi ntii.ii .*hon':d be opolled cbiouissamoat, ' and has the same origin. Peppermint and Tobacco. If you have who has begun smoking too early and whom you wish to cure of the habit, feed him pepper meats. Dr. O. Clayton JoneB of 811 verton; England, writing in the- I*on don Lancet, is: authority for. this sim ple cure/ Dr. Jones writes: "To break the smoking habit In ar yoUth there is nothing ^better than pepper mint drops. He cannot smoke with a ?bullseye' in his mouth, and even for some time after It is dissolved tobac co will not blend kindly with the taste'lhat remains. Socially tho cure may seem worao than the disease, but from a medical point of view the suck ing of peppermints Is tyr less hurtful. A common 'bullseye*' will prevent smoking for nearly an hour, so the amount of sweets used need not be great." For Sore Feet. Corns and bunions ,are very obsti nate ills, tp overcome. But If direc tions are followed faithfully they may be cured, at least to such an extent that they will not be sore and palnfuL The following formula, if used, twice a day. will, in time, greatly relieve both corns and bunions: Fill a smalf* bottle one-third full of very fine table salt, , then nil the.-bot tle with coal oil In which a table spoonful of vinegar to every gill of oil Is used.

Change your stock ings at least every other day. and do not wear the same shoes on the street that you wear in the house. ? Inter Ocean. ciywaiiimiiuii jhU Lire. Prof. Otto Lehmann, whose an nouncement. a few years a*o. of the existence of . "liquid crystals" gave rise to much discussion. which baa ended in the recognition of the reality of the nhenomenA fleacrlbcrl by him, maintains that although crystals themselves are not living, crystalliza tion Is the agency made use of by 11?. Ing growth. The almllarlty in aspect and behavior between certain liquid crystals and bacteria la remarkable, "and." says a reviewer of Professor ILehmann's work in Nature, "can scarcely be accidental.'* The same re viewer holds that Professor Lghmann has "made an important contribution to the solution of the great " question confronting alike science and philoso phy ? What is life?" . British Water-Power. The growing industry or extracting aluminum has stimulated the search ' for water power in The British Isles, i because the extraction of aluminum ! is so expensive that only low-cost pow- ' ?r can be economically employed. In this respect Scotland, with its moun- I j tains, is roming to the front.

It is necessary for our 'subscribers to. observe the in structions contained on the instruc tion' cards tacked on to the various telephones. A great many of the sub scribers are placing thejr receivers on t* e hooks before they c omplete their conversation and by doing this the: ^operator gets the disconnecting slg- 1 ::al which requires that she takej down the connection, which, will of | course, prevent you 'from completing' were originally talking. It is alsQ .^esired that you place vuur lips close To the transmitter apd, ylve the number of the -telephone with which - you desire" slowly and distinctly, calling numbers by digits instead of the usual way. As example, if you de sire to communicate with telephone No. 221, call the number double two, o;.e. Thy operator will then repeat the number l-ack to you to assure you If and will then ma,ke the desired connection. Do not ask questions of the opera' or. tut call for the chief oper&tor for information. The oper ators will be too busy answering calls of the subscribers to spend any con slderable time In connection with your telephone to answer questions that can be juki as well answered by | the ch*e? operator. There Is still some additional out side work to be done In connection located outside of the corporate lim its and outside of what Is known as Lh? cable district. It ifi necessary to string additional wires from the end [ of the cwblea to the subscribers' sta tions on these ct tlylng districts in order to metallic circuit them. This work may cause some trouble to the subscribers, but every effort will be ii?pd to reduce the amount of trou { ble to a. minimum. Should you have trouble, however, In using your tele phone or find that lt^ Is not working satisfactorily, do not hesitate to caTT the chief operator or Mr. Bell, our local manager, notifying him of the fact, and the matter will then be given prompt attention.
