The Human Mechanism.

Just as every veil regulated system Of
transit possesses telegraphic communica-
tions and in places automatic switches and
signals, so all parts of the human mechan-
ism are controlled by nerves. the head cen.
tor being in the brain and numerous sub
sidiary Offices situated in various parts Of
the body. The organism has advantages
over al ordinary systems Of transit mas
much rs the arrangements for automatic
communication are more complete and
numerous than any transit system pos
sesses. And very fortunately is this the
case, since all the vital functions, including
circulation. respiration aud digestion,
might otherwise cease TO be performed.
The mechanism being complete and the
food srpply sufficient, the growth Of the
body depends on the multiplication OF cells.
As to the origin Of cells opinions differ,
the German school holding that each new
cell proceeds from a prior cell, while the
French school declares that some cells are
produced spontaneously from the plasma.
Certain 1t is that in the lymphatics the
white corpuscles of the blood are found in
abundance. the same that are found in the
living plasma and are always numerous in
the vicinity of wounds where repairs have
to be made.
Further, where anything serves to check
the flow Of this white blood, either by ef-
fecting the nerves that control the lymph
atics and lacteais or these organs directly,
bodily growth is checked. To some such
influence we attribute the diminutive stat

They stated to the commissioners that they
had not received any official notice of the

they had continued to prepare for the sea
son. Sir George stated that his view of the
case was that the men-of-war had not gone
to Behring sea for the purpose of making
seizures, but to tell the fealing scbOoners
that they were going to stop sealing In
their tsealersl interests. In reply To
question as to powers of the commission.
Sir George said thew had full power To in
quire into sealing through the whole course
OF the north Pacific ocean. Dr. Dawson
says: Il do not think there is any fear of
fur-sealing being exterininateh. because

One of the delegation expressed the opin-
ion that the agreement to kill 500 seals for
the natives on the islands was a bit of job
berry. DIR. Dawson Thought 1900 barrels of
-four would have been more to the point.
Sir George promised to take the question
of compensation and other matters into
consideration and include it in his report.

to PROMISE anything. Their mission was
simply to inquire aud report. sir George
