FATAL LEISURE.

Cessation of Labor Sometimes Re-
suits Disastrously.
A clergyman, elderly, but not old.
who has served an important parish
during a long period of years to the
entire satisfaction of his parishioners,
decides, not without sincere and fearful
remonstrance from them, to retire from
the pulpit and spend his declining
years in well-earned rest and undis-
turbed contemplation. His health is
vigorous, his mind clear, his heart hap
py. But within a few weeks of his re-
tirement he is dead.
Or, instead of clergyman, say a
lawyer, q doctor, college president, a
statesman, an editor, or a business man.
Make the necessary changes in descrip-
tive detail. There is no reason apparent
why he might not have continued in his
profession or occupation, for ten, twen-
ty or thirty-fiye years to come. Ills
eye was not dimmed nor his natural
force abated." His retirement was vol
untary and attended by all circum-
stances that could promise happy and
unburdened sunset of life. But within
little while, it may be month, it
may possibly be year or two, he is
dead.
Now let any one of our readers try to
count up from memory the instances
which he has known, or known of, with
in short time past, to which these
words apply See if the number is not
surprisingly great. We have no space
now to discuss the subject, and it may
be that the theme is too familiar to re-
quire comment. At any rate, to the
thoughtful mind the phenomena are
suggestive of some pensive reflections

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
a New Theory Advanced by Fava
n1,Ir Kxnnrrn. A-nAnuaaaA

a New Theory Advanced by a Favor
ably Known Anat0mist.
The theory of DR.. George M. Kel-
logg. the veteran anatomist, is that the
brain, like the eyes, ears, hands, ETC.,
Is double organ, in fact, that we have
two brains. The greater number of
nerves leading from each half of the
brain TO the half of the body, which
they govern, cross before connecting
with the body. Only about one-tenth
of the nerves coming from each side
corresponding side Of the body. All
mammals are made up of paired or
gans, nerves, muscles and limbs. Each
side is q duplicate of the other in struc-
ture, function and form, except that
they are reversals of each other. Man
alone, as result of habit, uses the right
side Of his body in preference to the
left. This has tended to make the left
hemisphere of the brain predominant.
When q movement is made, the brain
records it, and there is a slight change
in development. If the nerves running
to one-half of the brain are but little
used, they do not act voluntarily. The
left side of the brain soon becomes anx-
ious to do all the work. Frequently per-
SONS injured over the third left frontal
area of the brain have become mutes,
and then been educated to speak by
training the right brain. DR.. Kellogg
thinks children should be taught to use
both sides Of the body equally from
earliest infancy. Leonardo de Vinci
and Michael Angelo were both ambi-
dextrous. This enabled them to rest
first one hand and then the other with
out interrupting their work. The late
DIR. Alexander Mott used equally well
either hand in writing or the most deli
cate operations. and in nice dissecting.
He was for years one of the most skill
ful operators in New York. DR.. Kellogg
desires race with two perfect hands
and double brain, healthfully respon-
|i.sive, each to each, through those ex-
lquisite conductors. the nerves. - Chi

FREELY FLASHES.
The Method by Which the Insect EmIts
It's Beautiful Light,

The Method by Which the Insect EmIts
Its Beautiful Light,
"By what process do fire6ies produce
the beautiful flashes of light?" That is
a question frequently asked, and as en-
tomological books fail to give salts
factory reply the following explanation
may be interesting:
I have made special study of the
light, and carefully examined the mech.
anism of the Illuminating segments in
both male and female specimens. The
light emitted, when tested by the speo-
troscope, gives a brilliant spectrum,
which is continuous through all the
colors from the red to the violet rays,
The illuminating organs consist Of dis
tinct spherical cells, each one Of
which is about 10000 of an inch in
diameter, and the beetle has power to
illuminate one or many of these cells at
viii, producing light Of corresponding
intensity. The cells contain fluid sat-
urated with phosphorus, and the cover
ing Of the cell is SO thin that atmosphere
coming in contact with it may affect
the contents.
1t has been suggested that the beetle
produces the flashes of light or renders
the phosphorus suddenly luminous by
eleotricity-by the injection of warm
fiuids-or by friction. But it is certain
that the flash of light is made in an
other way. We may clearly trace con-
nection between the spiracles and
traohea (spiral air tubes) of the beetle
and each of the Illuminating cells, and
find that the little creature renders the
phosphorus contained in the cells lumi-
nous by forcing air upon them. The cells
when thus excited emit lisnt from their
surface
We may initiate the act of the beetle
by dissecting one and placing the illumi-
mating organ under microscope, COW
cred by thin glass cover. When the
cover is lifted so as to admit little air,
the cells become luminous.
We may add that the name freely
is misnomer, as the lightning bug''
is true beetle, Aslonging in the natural
order caleoptera, and in the family
lampyrida. ID. K. Winder in Detroit

Fascinating John Bright.

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest
ing "reminiscences Of John Bright in
Cassell's Magazine. The great Liberal
leader often sat in an old fashioned
armchair in the Reform club. He de-
lighted in talk and was fond Of repeat
ing poetry. On one occasion he began
to talk to Sir Wemyss about his favorite
hymns, and as be warmed to his subject
he repeated some Of them. It was a
strange subject, perhaps. for a club
smoking room, but it was still stranger
to observe that as be spoke with that
wonderful voice of his the other men in
the room first looked up and began to
listen, and then, as though drawn by
an irresistible spell, drew nearer to
him, until before long he had them all
sitting round him in circle enjoying
that music of the human speech of
which above all living men he was
master. John Bright reoiting hymns in

A Milllonaire's E1travaranoe.

An example of extravaganza by q
well known millionaire who built him
self castle in one of the English mid
land counties is reported by The English
Illustrated Magazine The water of the
place was pure and sufficient, but case
of scarlet fever occurring in the village
at little distance from his residence
he took dislike to the local water sup
ply and at cost of over $4O0, 600 pro-
vided himself with fresh supply from
distance of 18 miles, Without children
or wife and great traveller, he does
not inhabit his own country place for
more than three months in the year.
Although he drinks no wine, his water
is an expensive beverage. Allowing only
3 per cent ON the money, with / per
cent sinking fund, his water costs him
$3.50 for every day he visits his castle.
This supply, it should be added, is linn
tied to the one house. There is really
no reason why it should be shared with
others, for the local supply is ample
and of good quality.

DOGS IN WAR.
How the st. Bernard Ministers TO the
Wounded Russian soldier.

How the st. Bernard Ministers 70 the
Wounded Russian Soldier.
In the present day the British army
seems the only one in which dogs are
not trained either as spies, messengers
or to help the wounded. The Germans,
French, Austrians, Russians and Ital-
ians have all found them to be worth
the trouble. The Germans have devoted
themselves chiefly to the training Of
dogs for carrying messages to and from
outposts and pickets and the main bodies
of troops. For this purpose they find
pointers are the best, but Scotch sheep
dogs and short haired sporting dogs are
much liked, as are also the clever little
Pomeranians, which learn very quickly
and are very strong and swift. In the
German army the best trainers are the
men of the Jager regiments, and spe-
cial officer and special body of men
are told off to look after the dogs. They
are taught to march without frisking
about, to avoid barking, but, with their
wonderfully quick ear to warn if stran-
gers are near, by pointing or by low
growl. They are trained to carry mes
sages up to ~ miles by known roads,
and beyond that distance to find their
own way across country. To men in the
same uniform they are taught to be
obedient.
In the Russian army kind of big st.
Bernard mastiff is used; also wolf and
sheep dogs. These, equipped with
flask containing brandy or soup and
packet of bandages hung round their
necks, are taught to find out the wound
ed lying among bushes or uneven ground
and to offer them restoratives, standing
meanwhile with their forefeet planted
and barking to attract attention. They
are even harnessed to little handcarts,
such as we see them use in Belgian
and German towns, and can drag two
wounded men. The French, in their
wars in Tunis and Algiers, have used
dogs; also the Russians in their last
Turkish war. In Austria they have been
employed to discover ambuscades. The
Dutch in Acheen found them most USE
full in preventing solitary sentries in
thick jungle outposts being surprised by
stealthy natives. The Italian sentries in
the Alps are always accompanied by
dogs. United Service Magazine.

Tho Human Body Luminous.

Some have long contended that lu-
minous emanations surround the hu-
man body. During a recent experiment
in a dark room several persons placed
their fingers for about 90 minutes on
photographic plate lying in bath con-
tanning a solution of hydroqpinone.
After the exposure the plate was devel-
oped in the usual way. The fingers.
lines Of the hand and pores of the skin
were all reproduced, and, what is of
more interest, zone or halo a third of
an inch wide surrounded the fingers.
This was taken as proof that we live in
luminous fluid sufficiently defined to
enable a photographic print to be made
of itself. The same experiment was
tried on persons whose hands were par
alyzed or benumbed, but no image was
produced. Chicago Inter Ocean.

herself wearily into big cushioned
rocking-chair in her own home, and
said, with her hand pressed to her throb-
bing brow:
