Diseases were supposed in ancient
times to be caused directly by the dis
pleasure of the gods, belief that has
not yet disappeared from the minds of
savage tribes. Evil spirits also played
their part, the two beliefs being con-
nected more or less intimately. Hence
the intervention of priests and kings, to
whom attached sacred character, and
the idea that the latter could cure by a
touch which prevailed until a recent
date. The faith in the healing principle
presumed to emanate from the royal
person was really part and parcel of the
belief in the divine right Of kings, that
is, their right to rule regardless of the
wishes of their subjects.
From all these causes came that MKT
ure of superstition, metaphysics and
medicine that characterized the prac-
tice of the healing art in the middle
ages, when doctors wore gowns and a
special form of head covering and talked
indiscriminately law, religion, astrology
and medicine. Astrologers made health
and longevity to depend on the constel-
lations, witches and sorcerers on occult
causes, and both dealt to certain ex-
tent in remedies that depended rather on
tradition than on science. From all these
germs, with something of the druggist
and the barber-who were in those old
times more or less connected with medi-
cine-thrown in, came the full fedged
physician of today.-San Francisco

The Mystery of Inheritance.

The body Of an individual animal OF
plant is to be regarded, from the point
of view of heredity, as consisting Of two
distinct elements. These are germ cells
and body cells, the former devoted to the
important work Of reproducing the race,
the latter constituting the actual bodily
material, and discharging all the ordina-
~ functions through which the indiVid-
usl life is maintained. Inheritance is a
matter of the continuity Of the germ
plssm or germ cells, which are handed
down from one generation to another in
cumulative ratio, carrying with them in
each case not the feature and qualities of
the one predecessor and parent, but of
ali preceding generations.
Assuming that the germ plasm is liza
ble TO exhibit variations, We can see how
and why such variations can be trans
mitted to new generations but We have
ais to take into account the influence on
the germ cells Of the body to which they
belong. While, then, inheritance pre-
serves through the continuity Of the
germ cells the stability af the race, it
gives the rein TO variation, and by the
combined influences Of environment act
ing on the body Of the individual peoples
the world with new and ever varying
forms Of life.

Lifting Power of a Cyclone,

In his article on the frightfGl cyclones
which visit the Bay of Bengal with sur
prising frequency, Mr.. Elliott, meteoro-
logical reporter to the government of
Bengal, incidentally gives some curious
figures to illustrate the cyclonic forces
developed by such storms. The average
daily evaporation registered by the Ben
galese instruments is two inches. The
amount Of heat absorbed by the conver-
sion Of this amount of water daily over
30 large an area as the Bay Of Bengal
must necessarily be enormous. Rough
ly estimated" says Mr.. Elliott, 'it is
equal 10 the continuous working power
of 500 600 steam engines Of 1000 horse
power each" A simple calculation will
show what it suifices to raise aIoft over
5000 cubic feet Of water every twenty
four hours from every square mile Of the
bosom Of the bay and transport it 10 the
clouds above. When We extend the cal
culation from single square mile to the
area Of the whole Indian gulf, the mind
is lost in its efforts 10 conceive the force
which, In days time, can lift $1,000, 900

Engineer Jenkins Presentiment


Charley Jenkins was an engineer on
the Baltimore and Ohio for many years
and he had many hairbreadth escapes.
His run was between Garrett. Ind, and
Chicago Junction, o., and nearly every
body along the route came to know him
personally. His friends could tell his
engine every time by the peculiar "toot,'
and whenever the engine was in sight
there would be a wave of the hand as
recognition Of friendship. His eng inc,
the 20, was the best on the division,
and if fast run was to be made jenkins
and the 720 were sure to be on the cali
board for it.
One day the old engineer was taken III
and for weeks he fingered on his bed,
when it seemed that anly thread held
him on to life. He was sadly missed
along the route, and the peculiar 'toot"
Of the whistle was heard no more, for,
although old 40 was kept running, there
were other hands at the throttle.
The crisis Of his illness came. The
family surrounded the bed and watched
with breathless eagerness for any sign Of
change.
The stiffness of the room was oppres-
sive. Nothing could be heard save the
regular, heavy breathing of the sick en-
gineer.
Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He
stared wildly around, and his eyes look
ed like a madmanis. Then he sat up in
bed, clu;ehed an imaginary sheet of
paper, and gasped:
"Tifiin train five engine seven-twen-
ty prepare TO meet thy God"
Hes sank back exhausted and fell into
quiet, easy sleep. When he awoke he
was on fair way 10 recovery, but by
that time the news had reached the
place that terrible accident had hap
pened; that No. 8 had collided with
freight that engine 72O was a wreck,
and that the engineer and fireman were
dead.
Charley Jenkins insisted that he had q
