have the state represented at
the Atlanta Exposition Which
opens October sth, but little has
been done, towards it. The
Houston Post says Texas will
not be unrepresentcd, which, to
TO say the least is u negative
way of stating it. The railroads
of the state being the corpora
tons most largely interested in
its development, will in all
probability make some sort OF
an exhibit of our products. The
truth is Texas is depending too
much on her natural advantages
without making any organized
effort to make them generally
known. We have heretofore re-
fcrred to the power and influ-
ence welded by the press Of
the state, but the manner in
which Texas papers are circu7
lated abroad IS such that they
accomplish but little good. A
few copies of nearly everopa-
per published in Texas are sent
by friends in this state to friends
in the old states, but the papers
published in the north and east
that are inimical to Texas uhave
large circulation and many of
them have made a speciality of
collecting and'publishing all the
crimes committed in the state
and presenting tliem7aini their
most hideous form. These pa
pcrs are republican IN politics.
Texas is democratic, and as
matter of course there can be no
good in any democratic state
when viewed from a republic
can standpoint. The northern
republican journals have tried
to make it appear that a hepub-
lican in Texas and in other
southern democratic states is
not safe. Nothing could be
farther from the truth .5isN .

Far Castroville Quill re-
marks as a general rule the
country newspaper fails to re-
ceive that need of praise and
feeling of appreciation which
its merit, its faithful work,
should vouchsafe it. The Quill
then remarks that it has no
cause for complaint, and it may
be safely said that there is not a
well managed paper in the state
that is not literally patronized
and fully appreciated in its
neighborhood.

Whenever an Abchasian is drowned
his friends search carefully for the body;
but if this is not found they proceed to
capture the soul of the deceased, O meas
ure which then has become matter Of
importance.
A gostsl1in bag is sprinkled with water
and placed with its mouth, which is
stretched open, over hoop, looking to-
ward the river, near the place where
The man is supposed to have been
drowned. Two cords are stretched from
the spot across the river as bridge on
which the soul can come over. Vessels
containing food and drink are set around
the skin, and the friends OF the deceased
come and eat quietly, while a song is
sung with instrumental accompani-
ments.
The soul, it is believed, is attracted
by the ceremonies, comes over on the
bridge that is laid for it, and goes into
the trap. As soon as it has entered-that
is when the bag is inflated by the breeze
the opening is quietly closed, and the
bag is taken up to the burial place, where
a grave has already been prepared. The
bag is held with the opening to the
grave, the strings are united, and the
bag is squeezed into the grave, and the
burial is afterward completed.
This rite is considered of equivalent
value with the burial Of the body, and
the grave,is treated with the same honor
as if the body were really within it.

what Causes the Blood to Circalatel

To what degree the heart Is sided BY
other forces Is yet matter OF inyesti.
cation. Probably there are several
forces assisting. The elasticity of the
arteries increases their carrying ca
pacity. They are firm, elastic tubes,
which expand under the pressure from
each heart contraction, and then by
their own elasticity contract and help
the onward flow Of the blood. In the
smaller arteries the flow loses the inter-
mittent character il possesses in the
larger arteries, and becomes q steady
stream. The elasticity of the arteries
serves precisely the same purpose as the
air chamber of any force-pump, that OF
equalizing the flow, and so increasing
the amount delivered. The whole
force is derived from the heart; the ar
teries cause the force to act continu-
ously.
The veins are lax tubes, somewhat
larger than the arteries, and capable OF
holding oil the blood in the body.
They convey the same amount of blood
as the latter, but more slowly. In the
larger veins, however, near the auricles,
the velocity may be 200 millimeters per
second. They are provided with valves
which effectually prevent the blood
from flowing backward to the heart.
Any compression, produced by muscu-
far contraction, or otherwise, will there
lore assist the forward flow of venous
blood. This is one explanation why ex-
ercise hastens the circulation. The
movement Of tho chest in breathing
probably aids the pulmonary circula-
ton, the blood, as we'll as the atmos-
phere, tending to fill the vacuum during
inspiration.
Physical capillary force is not gen.
orally regarded as an active force in the
circulation. But there is an admitted
force in the capillaries, resulting from
the attraction of the tissues for the ar
terial blood, containing the required
oxygen and nutriment. "The vital con-
dition of the tissue becomes factor in
the maintenance of the circulation"
1t is this force, primarily, which adapts
the amount of blood to the varying
need of any organ; the nervous system
regulates the supply by varying the
caliber of the vessels.
Tbeforce in the capillaries, or some
other force, carries the blood, after
death, from the arteries, where the heart
leaves it, into the veins. Finding the
arteries empty after death gave rise to
the idea that they conveyed only air
whence the name. 1t was this belief
which Harvey overthrow in 1920. -
