The Use of the Tonsils.

Those glands situated in the back part of
the mouth, and Familiarity known as the
tonsils, have always appeared in physio-
logical eyes is somewhat of a puZzle-that
is to say, their functions or uses have not
been accurately determined. They are
ductless glands, and unlike the liver, saliv-
airy glands, sweetbread or tear glands, do
not possess any tubes or ducts leading
from them and conveying away any secre-
ton they may manufacture. We can I'M
derstand on this footing how the spleen
itself was an anomaly in the eyes of the
ancients, seeing that, like the tonsils, it
had no outlet, and that unlike the liver or
the other glands above named, it did not
seem TO elaborate any fluid or product of
use in the body.
But the functions of the tonsils have of
very late days received a new interpreta-
ton from the researches of DR.. Lowell Gul
land. He claims that the tonsils are really
glands, which are devoted to the manufac.
ture of the white blood cells Nor is this
all. DR.. Guland tells US that while many
of these important white cells pass off into
the blood circulation, thence to wander on
their beat, like sanitary policemen, through
the tissues, many others take up their pc
sitions on the outside of the tonsils them
selves.
This latter move on the part of these
white cells is very interesting one, for
as they live on the tonsil services, they act
as a set of custom house officers in prevent
ing injurious or contraband matter
chiefly germs of course-from passing on
ward to the throat, stomach and lungs.
This is both an extraordinary and an ex-
| tremely interesting discovery, for it makes
| plain to us how and why many of the
1 l.. Il i \
injury to us They may pass into the
mouth, but the Gordon of white blood cells
on the tonsils acts as a fairly efficient bar
rier, which the bulk of the germs we in
hale may not pass, and we are thus secured
| from the germ invasion of both the diges.

Electricity as a Water Purifier.

The Webster method of purifying waste
water by means of electricity has been
tested by DR.. Fermi in the Hygienic insti-
tute at Munich, Germany. During the
course of the experiments it was found
that the water became purified in about
fifteen minutes, the organic su distances be-
ing reduced by about one-half and the sus-
pended substances being precipitated to
the bottom.
The smell Of the water was perceptibly
improved. While the results of the test
show that electricity does not at the present
time realize the ideal of water publication,
it has two great advantages; first that
very little iron is preciptated and its re-
moval is not SO difficult as in the case of
publication b. chemical means, and, sec
ond, the dissolved organic substances.
which are not precipitated by any of the
known chemical methods heretofore en-
ployed, are at least partially removed by
the electric current.-New York Telegram

1T NEVER CAME AGAIN.

Oh, picture dear TO memoryl
The skies lay low and fair
Above the mirrors of the sea
And viewed their beauty there.
The hills upon the deep were glassed,
And cool the meadows dreamed,
And every cloud that DER US passed
Like angels chariots cleaned.
The far lands seemed jeweled misti
So ear the Blessed Shores
We scanned the liquid amethyst
For CLEANS of golden oars.
Not ten to the soul tits given
To ooubly visioned bel
Our feet had neared the verge of Heaven
And touched the jasper sea.
And heath the walls of jeweled skies
Above the ocean floors,
Altar J saw my old home rise
And watched the open doors.
! said-Yon light-impassioned air
Should WOO an artists pen
But passed the mystic beauty, there,
And, not the same as then,
At me mory's windows oft sighed
For that one picture, oft denied
1t never came again.
