The Providence of Drunkards.
The book of H~ealth-Morris.

The book of Health-Morris.
Drunkards enjoy q remarkable i'm
munity from the consequences of in
%juries. One sometimes sees a drunken
man pitched violently from q horse,
and when the ~bystanders rush to the
spot, expecting to find him dead, they
are astonished to discover that he has
been little injured. In his "Scram-
bles among the High Alps" Leslie
Stephen tells the story of a guide who.
while drunk, fell I'VE a precipice SO
deep that a fall over it seemed almost
certain death, and yet sustained little
injury. Stephen accordingly gives his
readers the advice eithes not to fall
over a precipice OF to get thoroughly
drunk before doing so: myself once
saw a man who had thrown himself
while drunk over the Dean bridge, in
Edinburgh, a height of about 200 feet,
on to the rocky bed of the stream be-
low. A sober man would probably
have been instantly killed, but this
individual, though he had broken both
of his thigh bones. quickly recovered.
The reason of this immunity
probably is that the nerve ~centere,
which regulate the heart. and vessels,
are SO much paralyzed in the drunken
man as not TO be affected by the shock
of the fall, which in a sober man would
have acted on them SO violently as to
stop the heart, arrest the circulation
and cause instant death.

10 Measure the Hight Of q Tree.

There is a very simple way of mea-
suring the hight of a tree which can be
practiced by any on a SUNNY day
or 10 bright moonlight. All the appa-
ratus thati is necessary is a straight stick
of any length. Draw a circle with a
radius (halfth6 diameter) Of a little less
than the length of the stick. This will
be done byholding one end ofthe stick.
say two inehes from its end, aud NOV
ing the o~Elsrend around, making the
circle with a knife or a chip. Then
place the stick in the ground exactly in
the center of the circle, perfectly. up
right, and press il down until the height
of the sark is exactly the I'm as the
radius Of the circle. When the end OF
the shadow of the stick exactly. touches
the circle then also the shadow of. the
tree will be exactly,in length the same
measurement as its height Ofconrse,
Id such a case, the sun will be at an
exact angle of foity-iv degrees. Meas
nrement of this character can be best
effpetedsin the summer, when the sun is
powerful. and has reached to a good
height in the heavens. and when the
trees are clothed in'liVing green so as
60 east Il dense shadow. To many to
whom this idea may. not .haye.-occurs
red it might be made annually q mat
ter of interest thus on warm summer
days to- take the height Of PROMINENT
trees, and Sc to compare. growth. from
year to year.
