DIR. T. D. Crothers, of Walnut Lodge
Hartford, Conn, has made STUDY OF

He has found two classes OF the cases

which those symptoms only appear from
some peculiar circumstances or exciting
causes In the first class, some pro1nnens

cese a distinctness irrespective OF the signs
off intoxication. The symptoms may APP

course all the varied phases Of idiocy, Inn

nalfornation go on. The presence OF a
special class of symptoms resembling IN"

In the second class of cases noted the
alcoholic symptoms are not present unless
from some exciting cause tnon-alcohoncl,
such as anger, fear or sudden excitement.
In this class are idiots, iIabeciles and o@

FIG. 2. VIBRATION BY MAGNETIC IMPULSE.
In the accompanying engravings, repro
duced from the journal quoted from, Fig.
shows how bar Of steel may be set in active
vibration by drops Of water. The bar is
supported at modal points upon angular
pieces of wood Above the center Of the bar
is arranged faucet, which communicates
with the water supply. The bar is first vi
brated by hand, and the faucet is adjusted 80
that the water drops in unison with the vi
brations of the bar The motion Of the bar
is then stopped, and the water is allowed to
drop on it. The bar soon begins to vibrate,
and in a short time the vibration acquires
considerable amplitude. In Fig. is shown
an experiment in which the intermittent
pull of an electro magnet is made to &C.
complish the same thing. In this case the
steel bar forms part Of the circuit. The
magnet is provided with light wooden
spring pressed arm, carrying contact point
and conductor. This arm is arranged to
follow the bar up and down through the
upper half Of its excursion, breaking the con-
tact at the median position of the bar. The
magnet becomes alternately magnetized and
demagnetized and the bar is alternately
pulled down and released. The bar used in
these experiments is Il inch thick, ~ inches
wide and feet long, .

The Homing Instinct.


Dr. George NJ Gould has collected authentic
cases of animals finding their way homeward
over long distances. He tells in Progress
that dogs, even when carried away in
blindfolded or drugged condition, find their
way home over distances from five to five
hundred miles: and in one case, when the
dog was taken off along the two sides of
triangle, he came home by the third side.
The exquisitely trained instinct of the flying
pigeon, and similar capabilities of most
animals, show the great Importance OF this
faculty By way Of explanation, DR.. Gould
suggests that, without the faculty of finding
the way homeward the sphere Of an animals
life would be very narrow The mainte-
nance of the species would develop the power
of seeking new fields and the power to turn
homewards. The ordinary senses cannot
account for this homing instinct as actual
experiments have shown DR.. Gould sees
here the true sixth sense, and regards 1t as
sensibility to changes in electric and mag
netic tension, due to position on the earth's
surface. The home is the animals north
POLE BY habit, it is accustomed to the
magnetic conditions there, but when away is
restless and finds its way homeward by this
mysterious compass. DR.. Gould connects
with this some fanciful speculations as to the
import of the pineal gland as possible mag
netic organ and some hints as to the physical
nature of homesickness in mankind.

for the loan of the volume. The de-
post will be returned to the borrower
on his giving up the book wherever
he may alight. This circulating IL

ZIG I. HARMONIC VIBRATION.

ZIG L HARMONIC VIBRATION.
Harmonic vibrations, explains Scientific
American, result from regularly recurring
impulses, which may be very slight indeed,
but when the effects Of the impulses are
added one to another, the accumulation Of
power is sometimes very great To secure
cumulative effects, the impulses must not
only be regular in their occurrence, but the
body receiving the impulses must be able To-
respond, its vibratory period must correspond
with the period Of the impulses And ftr-
ther than this, the impulses must bear cer-
tain sslstin TO 3 particular phase Of the vi
bfation, 81 order that they may act upon the
body in such way as to augment
it, motion rather than diminish 1t.

prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus. us.'-Philippians, iii, B and IA.
Although Paul professed himself
to be the chief of sinners, he did not
hesitate to tell his experience, that
others might see his good works and
gIorify God. We might safely fol-
low Paul's example in many things.
The matters spoken of in the text
are no exception. 1t is well for the
world that this man did not sit
down and brood over the past. His
tory would lack one of its grandest
characters, and the Church would he
without one of its mightiest pillars
if he had done so.
! IN The ability to forget is one of
nefpblest possessions of the mind.
But, lest this statement should re-
ceive too sweeping an application. it
is necessary to explain it little.
Some things which appear to belong
tothe past, have a claim upon the
future. A few years ago you stood
atthe bedside of your dying father
and promised him to live good
Christian life. On that sacred spot
you gave a mortgage on your life
which no principle of honor will
allow you ever to forget. Once you
stood up beside the good angel of
your heart and solemnly vowed to he
true to her until death should dis
solve your vow. That is now fact
of the past, but it has claim on the
future which you cannot ignore. The
great dlsposer of your life taught you
an important lesson which He in
tended you to always remember.
You cannot forget that.
In your business affairs you in
cured financial obligations which
you must not forget until they are
settled. Add to the things that may
be classed under these heads. our
gratitude for past fayOrs and l do
not think of anything else that would
not be better forgotten than remem.
bered. Thousands of people rob the
world of their services and fill their
own lives with the gall of asps by
moodily brooding over things that
should have been buried in forgetful'
ness long ago. Sometimes the world
| is surprised to see men who have
| snamitted great crimes soon appear
on the scene of things with as light
a, heart as anybody has. If they
have been to Christ for pardon and
cleansing; if they have done theil
best to repair the injuries inflicted
they are just right. Self-preservatior
says so-Divine grace says so-anC
human charity ought to say so.
There can be no progress except By
forgetting the past. Our fathers die
many things worthy of remembrance
and imitation, but if we want to

but many want to carry with them
all the weight they!can pile on them
