MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Seat
Of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con.
troll of the nerve centers, located IN or near
the base of the brain, and that when these arc
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t Is re.
membered that q serious Injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
tho injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented BY the injury. from reaching the
paralyzed portion. it will be understood how
the derangement Of the nerve centers VIII
cause the derangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
the imperfect oction Of the nerve centers at
ment primarily originating in the organ It,
self. The great mistake of physicians In
treating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
ore the cause Of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, tho celebrated spe-
ciallst, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In connection with 1t, chief among
them being the facts contained In the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzl-
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure. blues.
mania melancholy. insanity, epilepsy, St.
Vitus dance. etc. are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success OF
Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine Is due to the
fact thatitis based on the foregoing principle.

all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent

his old acpuaintanccS met him they ex-
claimed. simultaneously:
How did you get here? Where did

The actor waved them away impcri-

friends of the corpse gave me the

Theories Advanced = to Their Origin

The well-known circle on the pas
ture lands about six miles east of
Helena, near the old overland stage
road, and which has been a curiosity
and a source of speculation for years,
is identical with the fairy rings 50 com
mon in some parts of England. There
We're formerly two of these rings, saws

one has entirely disappeared within
the last few years. The remaining one
Is about two hundred feet in diameter
and forms perfect circle. The ground
forming the circle iS about two wards
wide and quite destitute of vegetation.
Many theories have been advanced as
to the cause of these rings. Some say
that il Is the result of lightning: others
that a herd of buffalo. pursued 10y
wolves, stopped and formed themselves
into a circle as a means of defending
their young. and thus tramped out the
grass. These rings have attracted the
attention of scientific men and recent
result of centrifugal development of
certain kinds of fungi, among which il

tendency To grow in this manner The
spot where il has grown is untitled for
its continued nourishment, and the

CURlOSiTIES OF PLANT LIFE.
Trees That DistiII Water. Furnish Light.
Change Color. and Catch Fish.

On the Canary Island grows a foun-
tain tree, Il tree most needed in some
parts of the island. says the San Jose
Cali Mercury 1t is said that the
leaves constantly distill enough water
to furnish drink to every living crea-
ture IN Hero, nature having provided
this remedy for the drought of the
island. Every morning. near this part
of the island, a cloud or mist arises
from the sea, which the winds force
against the steep cliff on which the
tree grows, and it il from the mist that
the tree diStillS the water.
China, too. claims her remarkable
tree. This is known as the ta1low tree,
so called from the fact of its producing
a substance like Jallow. and which
serves the same purpose, is of the same
consistency, color and smell. On the
island of Lewchew grows tree about
the size of q common cherry tree. which
possesses the pcculiarity of changing
the color of its blossoms. At one time.
the flower assumes the tint of tht. lily,
and again shortly takes the color of the
rose. In Thibct there il a curiouS tree
known aS the tree of the thousand i'm
ages; its leaves are covered with we'll
defined characters of the Thibetan
alphabet. 1t is of great age and the
only one of its kind known there
The caobab tree is considered one of
the most wonderful of the vegetable
Kingdom. 1t appears that nothing can
kill this tree: hence il reaches an
astonishing age as well as enormous
size. The natives make a strong cord
from the tibers of the bark; hence the
trees are continually barked. but
without damage. as they soon put forth
new bark 1t seems impcrvlous to
fire and even the AK iS resisted. as it
continues To grow in length while it is
lying ON the ground.
In Mexico there is n plant known by
the name of Palo de Leche. 1t be
longs To the family of euphorbia. The
Indians throw the leaves into the water
and the fish become stupefied and rise
to the surface and are then caught by
the natives In this ease the effect of
the narcotic soon passes off The
milk of this plant thrown upon the fire
gives out fumes that produce nausea
and headache. The milk taken inter
nally Is Il deadly poison; it will pro-
duce death or insanity according to the
size of the doZe. There is a popular
belief among the lower class in Mexico
that the insanity of the ex-Empress
Carlotta was caused by this poison.

The Di-covery OF Glass.

There is little or nothing known
with certainty in regard to the inven-
ton or discovery of glass. Some OF the
Oldest specimens are Egyptian, and the
age of certain glass vessels made by
that people, which are now kept in the
British museum. is believed to be at
least f,lJi years, dating back to the
year 23o0 T. c. Transparent glass was
first used about $50 B. c., the credit of
this latter discovery being given To the
Phocnicians. The old story of its acci-
dental discovery is familiar: Merchants
who were resting their cooking pots on
blocks of subcarbonate of soda found
glass produced by the union, under
heat, of the alkah and the sands of the
desert.
