tions have been made to clear up one
of his poins-whether certain ar
ranrement of blood vessels and the
use of the left hand do occur in the
same individual--but as to right
handelness he makes some convin-
cling statements. In the first place
the brain is divided into two hemis-
pheres, and the nerve force Hnd nerve
tibers which produce muscular action
on the one side of the body have their
origin in the opposite hemisphere of
the brain. From the earliest period
the left hemisphere has been larger
and heavier than it's counterpart, and
the conyolutions Of gray matter have
been more numerous on this side than
on the right This superior develop

rangcment of the blood vessels, by
means of which greater blood sup.

At Aea In n Basket.

It was upon September 20, 1854, the
Arctic, belonging to the now extinct
Collins line, sailed from Liverpool to
New York with more than 200 pas
aengers on board. The voyage was
safely accomplished until the Arctic
got within sixty-fve miles Of Cape
Race, when she was run into by the
Vesta, a small iron steamer owned and
manned by Frenchmen, and Of about
100 tons burden. Within four hours
of the collision the big vessel disap-
peared beneath the " aves, and the lit.
tie vessel was speeding on her way to-
ward the French coast, where, uncon-
scious of the mischief she had done,
she arrived in safety about fortnight
later. About forty Of the Arctics
crew and passengers were saved in
boat, and few more were picked up
from RATS and bits of the vessel,
among the latter being Captain Luce
and Mr.. Smith, then a resident of
the state of Mississippi, but snbse-
quently wealthy Glasgow merchant.
MIR. Smith was saved upon raft Of
planks, dashed together by himself
on the top of which he tied the bus
ket lined with tin, into which IN.
washed plates were put during the
saloon dinner. Upon the edge OF this
basket, with his feet at the bottom,
Mr.. Smith sat two nights and nearly
three days, bailing it as it filled from
time to time. 1t will be heard with
little surprise that for many years MI.
Smith preserved this much-valued
historical basket as a trophy IN hls
drawing room at Glasgow, and show
ed it to his friends as the vehicle IN
which he had hoa ted upon the waves
for fifty or sixty hours. The basket
WIS concealed in the center of an OF
toman made purposely to hold it, and
was only revealed when Mr.. Smith
was surrounded by few congenial
friends.

Florida Oranges and Lemons.

The successful cultivation of or.
enges and lemons in Florida is caus-
ing reduction in the quantity Of
those fruits imported from foreign
countries and bids fair ere long to
render further importation unneces-
sary and Improbable. A writer in
the New York journal of commerce
on the fruit trade predicts that the
product of the orange groves of Flori.
da in single decade will be sufficient
to supply the whole United State:
with all abundance Of fine oranges
About 100000 boxes and barrels OF
oranges were shipped to New York
this season from Florida, and found a
ready market, and about 100000
boxes and barrels of oranges were
distributed through the West, South
and Southwest from the same source.
The trade in West India oranges the
past J ear proved both unsatisfactory
and Improbable.
The Jacksonville Union quotes a
leading orange shipper Of that city,
who exhibited one order for 600 boxes
of oranges at Sc box, az saying:
We cannot begin to supply the de-
mand for oranges. Next year the
crop will be vastly greater than this
year, and yet We shall fall short of
filling pressing demands. This year
we lost a great deal of fruit by delay
in forwarding from the groves after it
had been picked and delivered for
shipment, but shipping faculties are
being rapidly provided. We are 60
ing to have large migration to this
State from Southern California. A
grower there ordered q box of fruit
from me and paid $3.50 express

right and left Common carotid arter-
les, the right being q branch Of the
innominate artery, while the left
springs directly from the aorta. DR..
Cahall then proceeds as follows to
further show that we are right-hand-
ed because, as might be said, I'VE are
left. handed
This directness Of communication.
in addition to a larger caliber of the
left carotid, gives the left hemisphere
a decided advantage in the race of de-
velopment. To reverse these state
ments we would have: AS q conse-
quence of the greater capacity Of the
brain has greater blood.supply; as a
consequence there is greater devel-
opment of the left hemisphere as to
weight, bulk and number of convolu-
tions; as a consequence, when there
is need of muscular action the child
naturally uses those muscles which
possess the more powerful nerve sup
ply, for muscles are only strong in
proportion to their nerve supply; as a
consequence, the nervous energy is
dispa' chcd, in those cases where they
can be choice, from the left hemis-
phere; as a consequence, the right
hand and the right leg will be more
likely used, since this side of the body
is inneryated by the left hemisphere.
Thus, predisposition primarily, and
use afterward, influencing and
strengthening each other, fix upon a
habitalmost Interchangeable firm
ly, let those whoever attempted to
break the habit in left handed boy
testify. But this leads to another
question. Why are there left hand
ed people? Before we answer this
question we will again look at the
diagram We have seen that, us the
aortl rises from the heart, it arches
from right to left and the first large
/
artery it gives Oft is the innominate
which il turn is divided into the ri ght
common carotid and right subclaviar
arteries. Further on we find the left
common carotid and the left subcla.
Wan arteries arising separately from
the aorta. Nov, in making their dis
sections, anatomists have found that
in certain proportion OF their sub.
jects the aorta arches from left tc
right, in which case the innominate
is on the left sile and the common
carotid and subclavian separate on
right. This arrangement would favor
the growth OF the right hemisphere
and would predispose to the use OF
the left hand.
