WHY PEOPLE GET DIZZY.

Doctors give a very curious rea-
son Why people get dizzy when they
gaze down from great heights.
There is at the back OF every
persons brain another small brain
quite covered by its larger neighbor
and the particular work that en-
cages it is to collect and co ordinate
the various sensations brought to
the mind. is, in fact, the brains
solicitor and confidentia! advisor.
When we read aloud, for example,
the eyes, ears, hands, mouth, etc. !,
all work tremendously because they
are regulated and controlled by the
cerebellum-literally the "little
BRAIN"
Remove this, as vivisectionist
might that Of pigeon, and though
the person may be otherwise per-
fectly uninjured, he staggers like o
drunken man, walks about aimless-
ly and shows all the symptoms of
complete intoxication.
When we look down a precipice,
the cerebeilum gets puzzled. It
quickly compares the distance with
familiar depths or with the trees,
etc., that it knows, but these give
it no definite information. The
comparison only serves to bewilder
it, so that it gives up the whole
task in disgust and goes ION strike
The result is dizziness and confu-
sion.
II we are cropping our way in the
dark, too, the cerebellum seeks from
all sources for information on which
to advise the brain to act. We feel
dizzy and our head throbs, until
we touch familiar object or catch
faint CLEAN of light, and an in
slant feeling Of relief is felt by the
overstrained organ. The cerebel-
lum has got the information it has
been seeking and is corresponding
ly thankful for it.-London Tit
Bits.

How DEAD SNAKES CONE To LIFE,

In nearly every country in the
world there is superstition to the
effect that a serpent's head must be
mashed to a jelly or else its COM
panion will seek out its dead COM
rade and restore it to life by means
of certain grasses, leaves or herbs.
This fancy appears to come to us
from remote antiquity. In the
NEUROLOGICAL story of Polyidos, we
find it related in a curious form.
Glaucus, the son of Mines. the
Cretan king, was smothered in q
cask of honey. With the help of
Apollo, Polyidos located the body,
the whereabouts of which was pre.
yiously unknown, and the stern old
king then shut him up with the
corpse. telling him if he could dis
cover that which was hidden he was
soothsayer enough to bring his
son to life. While in the dungeon
with the corpse dragon approach.
ed body. Polyidos killed the rep.
tile, but within the hour was sur
prised to see a second dragon creep
forward and place a blade from q
certain species of grass on the back
of its dead companion. Polyidos
took hint from the wise serpent
and with the same blade of grass
resuscitated the honey-smothered
youth. The same story appears in
different forms in the folklore OF
all nations. You can find it in
1.-The Three Snake Leaves" in
Grimm's TALES :" in the Breton
legend of "Slr Elidoc :" in the
Hindoo story of "Pane Phul Ra-
nee," and also in the Chinese and
japanese fairy stories.-St. Louis
Republic.

IL the armies of Europe should

require nine and one-half days for

The War of the Bastards was in
1924, between Charles ", Of France
and Edward III. of England, both
having for their chief officers the
numerous illegitimate sons of the
nobility and royalty.
The daily ration of the British
soldier is 16 ounces of bread, IL of
meat, 2 of rice, s of dried vegetables
and Is Of potatoes. Once a week
he receives 2 ounces of salt, 4 of
coffee and 8 of sugar.
According to Bohn's Queer Sta
tistics' there were 1850, 900 men
enrolled into the French army by
Napoleon between 1791 and 1913.
OF that number three-fourths died
in battle OF wounds.
In |. Chronicles, xiii, II, record
is made of 500, 900 being slain on
one side which, however, may not
have been in a single battle. /.
Kings, Xxx, &c, tells of 100, 900 men
being killed on one side in a single
day.
Burke, in his Letters on Ma
tural History says that the three
greatest battles were those fought
by Sylla, in which 800, 900 men
we're destroyed in each. Cheronea
is the only one of the three that he
names.
The War of Devolution was waged
by Louis XIV. against Spain to en-
force his claims to the Netherlands,
which he held should fall to him by
lie droit de Devolution, this being
the law by which the dover of a
wife descends to her children.
If there should be general Eu-
ropean war, as many anticipate, the
daily expenses of carrying on the
same will be about $50, 200, 900.
Between 1882 and 1915 Napoleon
lost 1880, 900 French soldiers in his
attempts to conquer Europe.
One of the big guns at Monte
rey, Cal, is 50 feet long and weighs
104, 900 pounds. A two-bushel bag
of powder is used every time the
gun is fired, and the cartridge
which 1t hurls into the air with a
velocity of 1000 feet second,
weighs S51 pounds.
Bohn says that since 1850 the
world has expended s15. 900, OOO,-
900 in waging war and four times
that sum in holding standing arm
les IN readiness. England claims
to possess a navy of 707 vessels OF
all classes, aggregating 100000
tons, and LOGO. 900 horsepower.
The Samoan "war'' of 1869 was
the result of a quarrel between q
native and a German, in which the
Germans nose was broken. In
side of "a hours Germany had de-
manded $1,000 for that broken
nose, and $4,000 for the depreda-
tions committed on German plan
tatIons the year before.
