Interesting Experiments.


Prof. Burt G. Wilder displayed to u
small circle of naturalists at the Sarato-
ga convention of scientists series of
experiments for which an English invcs-
tigator, Prof. Fcrricr, has become fa-
nous. 1t had long been supposed that
the hcmisphercs of the brain, at all
events on their outer surfaces, contain
cd no special nervous connection with
the rest of the system; that is, that they
were not the places where thought or
motion was called forth Strong cleo
trio stimulus had been applied to these
parts of the brain without any result
But less than ten years ago it was found
by certain investigators that very weak
electric currents applied to the surface Of
the hemisphercs called forth specific ac-
tons, and this clcw was followed out by
Prof. Ferrier with astonishing results.
Some of these experiments, not making
any prctensions to their novelty, were
exhibited by Prof. Wilder upon large
cat that had been made utterly inscns-
BILE by the administration of ether. Ho
had mapped out before him diagram Of
the brain, with certain places designated
by figures Pussy's brain was dcnudcd
and the points specified were touched by
the terminals of weak electric current
A chart stated what was to be expected,
and the event happened exactly in ac-
cordancc. Thus when the place on the
brain marked II" was touched, the OPP
posite hind-leg of the animal was adj
vanced. as the chart said it would be-
When 81" was touched, the front leg
moved as if to strike, being first drawn
back. With touch to "0' the jaws
moved and the mouth opened. In some
instances the animal has been made to
scream, spit, and lash its tail by similar
means; or the lips rise and the nostrils
seem to be irritatod The remarkable
circumstance is that precisely the same
class of actions always follow the appli-
cation of the electricity to a given spot.
This is scientific chronology, but ex-
actly how to explain it, nobody yet
knows. Prof. Wilder has a large num-
Der of cats brains there in alcohol. They
serve every purpose of the human brain
for student, and arc more accessible az
well as in better preservation.

A Nation of Speech Makers.

Speech making is at once national
talent and national vice among US, says
an exchange. Europeans wonder at it
and are often amused and entertained by
it. They arc unable to explain why a
man, who has sat roticcnt aud apparent
ly dull by their side for an hour or more,
should on being named for speech fash
out into something very like oratory.---
Foreigners who come among us say tina
VIC arc nation of speech makers. and
that speech making is not confined, as in
other countries, TO any class or classes.
All that seems necessary to insure u
speech from an American is to call on
him to speak. He may be uneducatcd,
inexperienced and, under ordinary cir
cumstanccs, difidcnt, obtusc, and want
ing in nucncy. But invite him to speak
any where aud at any time, and bis ma
tionality moy be questioned if he do not
give evidence of very fertile uttcrancc
In other countries, spccch-makcrs are
men who have been trained TO the bust
ness, in word, spccch-makcrs by pro-
fcssiOn, while here men are spcech-Inak-
crs by practice. TO be born in the re-
public presupposcs the capacity to crate.
and the capacity given, all places fur
nish opportunities. This volubiiity
comes in part from the richness and va
riety of our mother tongue, which en-
ables any one who has mastered it to
talk hour after hour without conveying
any clear idea. We have constant ex-
amplcs Of this in our Legislative halls, in
the pulpit and at public dinners.

Can't Afford to Marry.

Girls, do you hear this :? Many good

ryY Why? Expense of supporting a

wives be made self-supporting, or partly
sol Isn't there something wrong in this
system which makes matrimony Deepen
dent on mans ability to pay all the
wifc's expenses Is it not filling tho land

What race? The people who care moth
ing for keeping up style. The foreign
born, whose women turn TO and tend the
shop. The cultivated American is not
a marrying man He likes the goods on
exhibition, but they are too costly for
every day wear. Hence oft they remain
on the counter until shop worn. This
is crying evil Our best men are not
marrying Because 80 many Of our
girls are saying, "You must take me for

Selected Mistellanv,
Rights in the Road.

If farm is bound by, on or upon a
road it usually extends to the middle of
the roadway. The farmer owns the soil
of half the road, and may use the grass,
trees, stones, gravel sand Or anything of
value to him, either on the land or be-
meath the surface subject only to the su-
Ipcrior rights of the public travel over
the road, and that of the highway sur
vcyor to use such materials for the re-
pair of the road and these he may cart
away and use elsewhere on the road
No other man has right to feed his
cattle there, or cut the grass or trees,
much less to deposit his wood, old carts,
wagons or other things there. 6 Met.
376, 8 Allen, Alb, ! Pa. St. 1876. J
The owner of drove of CATTLE which
stops to feed in front of your land, or Of
drove of pigs which root up the soil,
is responsible to you at law, os much as
if they did the same thing within the
fence. No children have right to pick
up the apples under your trees, although
the same stand wholly outside your
fence. No private person has right
to cut or lop off the limbs of your trees
in order to move his old barn or Other
buildings along the highway a Cush,

otherwise Injuries them (55 Me-, AGO. J
If your well stands partly on your farm
and partly outside the fence, no neigh
Dor can use it except by your permission
Nay more, no man has right to stand
in front of your land and insult you with
abusive language without being liable
to you for trespassing on your land g
Barb, 330) He has a right to pass and
rcpass in an orderly and becoming man.
ncr; right to use the road, but not to
abuse it. But notwithstanding the farmer
owns the soil of the road, even he can
not use it for any purpose which inter
feres with the use of it by the public for
travel. He cannot put his pig-pcn,
wagons, wood or other things there, il
the highway surveyor orders them away
as obstructing public travel If lie leaves
such things outside bis fence, and within
the limits of the highway as actually
laid out. though some distance from the
Travelled path, and traveller runs into
them the night and is injured, the
owner is not only liable to him for private
damages (15 Conn, 245), bnt may also
be indicted and fined for obstructing q
public way. And if he has a fence OF
wall along the highway he must place il
all on his own land, and not half on the
road, as in case of division fences be-
tween neighbors a Gray, 225) But
as he owns the soil, if the road is discon-
tinucd, or located elsewhere, the land
rcvcrts to him, and he may inclosc it to
the centre and use it as part Of bis

THE DAYS OF YORE.

A stone falls in an azure lake,
And sinking to its pcarly floor,
Sends swllling rings far out to kiss
The pebbles on the distant shore,
And men.oy's depths oft idly stirred
By smiles like some we've known before
Breaks forth in thoghts that wander back
And linger midst Days of Yore.
A leaf that on the rivers breast
Goes slowly drifting with the tide,
Is borne by whirling eddies back
Within its parent shade to glide
And many a wearied wandcrer
Upon a distant, friendless shore,
Returns on swift dream--oosencd wings
To greet the happier Days of Yore.
The cloudlets on q summer sky
Dissolved in tears upon the main,
Meath sunny smiles forget their grief
To float serene in heaven again.
And human hearts unlock their gates
When sorrows reign is almost DER,
And let the olden sunshine stream
Resplendent from the Days of Yore.
