Endurance of the japanese.

When one reflects that there is never
fire which would fill half bushel
measure; that the japanese wear no
woolen garments, and only sandals or
clogs on their feet; that the Winters are
cold enough to make ice two or three
inches thick, and the ground is often
white with snow, one wonders how they
live, writes correspondent from Japan
to the Chicago MtH There seems to be
something peculiar in the physical make
up of the japanese, as well as in their
plants, which enables them to endure
safely great cold. l am told that plants
which in America are killed by Autumn
frosts here live and bloom in the midst
of snow, and when the thermometer has
gone much below the freezing point
Certainly the people have wonderful
powers of endurance if their sensations
are as ours are.
Every japanese, high or low, takes his
hot bath every night. He Jumps into q
vat of water heated from 100 to lis de-
grees and enjoys the boil, and stands for
hours up to his waist in cold, mountain
torrents, and it is said will break the ice
in Winter and work up to his neck in
and seems to feel no i'll effects
from it. lie is certainly wonderful
and chronological data must yet
be furnished to convince me that he is
not indigenous to the soil he lives on.

The common practice of raising faint
ing persons to a sitting or upright posi-
tion is often sufficient to destroy the
spark of life which remains. The death
of an eminent English Statesman a short
time ago gave opportunity to the Coroner
for emphasizing this fact, and of point
ing out how much more reasonable and
sound it is to keep such persons In the
prone position while restoratives and
local means are adopted to enable them,
if possible, to regain consciousness.

Chinese Punishment.

The Chinese penal Code provides that
when an unskillful physician in admins
tering medicines or using the acupunc-
ture needle, proceeds contrary to the
established forms and thereby causes the
death of a patient, the magistrate shall
call in other physicians to examine the
medicine or the wound If it appear
that the injury done was unintentional,
the practitioner shall then be treated ac-
cording to the statute for accidental
homicldes, and shall not be allowed any
longer to practice medicine. But if he
have designedly departed from the estab-
lished forms, and has practiced deceit
in his attempts to cure the malady in or
der 10 gain property, then according to
its amount, he shall be treated as a thief /:
and if death en9ues from his malpractice,
then for having thus used medicine with
intent to kill, he shall be beheaded.
There appears to be nothing in the see
lestiap' code answering to the laws of
barbarian nations concerning civil
damages recoverable by parties made to
suffer by "unintentional' malpractice.

Tho 0riein of Reer

Ale was the sole title of malt liquor
until the reign of Henry VIII, up to
which time the employment of hops as
au ingredient in the beverage was un-
known in England. In the year 1924,
or thereabouts, the use of hops was intro
duced from Germany, and to distinguish
the new kind of malt liquor from the old,
the German name bier was adopted, and,
with an infnitesimal change of spelling,
became part of our language. Germany,
in truth, is the native land of beer, and
nowhere in the world is it treated with
such special honor. In Germany the
drinking of beer is not, as with us, a
mere means of carnal rcfreshment, but
particularly among the students of the
universities, is elevated to the dignity of
cult, amiliarity with whose ritual IS
deemed an essential branch of liberal
education. - % EkW

The Cause of the Glacial Period.

The ocean equalizes the earth's tenn
perature. How delicately balanced the
forces of nature are as to glaciers may be
seen in the fact that there have been five
periods of advance aud retreat in
Switzerland since 1900. Were the,
Sahara desert to be Inundated; 1t might
disastrously change the climate Of CEN
tral Europe.
The orbit of the earth is an ellipse; its
longer diameter being 100000 miles
more than its shorter. The sun is in one
foci of this ellipse; the earth's summer
solstice is fully seven days longer than
the winter. The present is favorable to
glaciation in the southern hemisphere.
There should he an increase of glaciers
each 81 600 years, due to the earths
changing relations to the sun. Special
epochs have been 200, 900, 750, 900 and
$50, 900 years ago, and similar eIochs are
expected 500, 900, 800, 900 and 800, 900
years to come. Croll's theory rests on
hypothesis and assumptions. He takes
the winds and ocean currents for stable
quantities. But the Gulf Stream-ffty
miles wide, 1000 feet deep, and which
moves four miles an hour-and the trade
winds need be to accounted for. The
southeast trade winds predominate. Why9
Because the southern hemisphere is
cooler, But why is it coolerY The ex-
tent and depth of southern oceans add
power to the winds in that hemisphere.
While the trade winds are steady but
not strong, they are sometimes Interrupt
ted by terrible monsoons. Not all cold
seas are favorable to glaciation; those in
the far North lack moisture.
The weak point in Mr. Crol's theory
is his failure to satisfactorily account for
the absorption, retention and distribu-
tion of heat received from the sun. Why
do clouds prevent frostl Why does heat
pass into glass easily (as into green
house, and not so easily escape! The
equator is not so hot, nor the arctic region
50 cold as they ought to be according to
the heat received from the sun. The diff
ference between the equator and the
coldest point on parallel 81 where the
mean temperature in January is So de-
gress below zero), which ought TO be

do not know what caused the glaciers,
