The ncurOn is a nerve cell. Neither
Pythagoras nor Plato knew that man
had neurons. These philosophers had
no microscopes. When the neurons
were discovered they were Immediately
studied with fervOr. A scientist Of re-
pute put forth the theory that each
neuron had an independent life. When
a man went to sleep II was because his
neurons contracted and failed to touch
one another. Hence, the coMmunica-
ton with his brain was broken. When
the neurons got rested they stretched
themselves once more. They touched
and formed continuous line In the
nerve. The brain was again placed
IN connection with the outer world and
its owner woke up. The brain being
also made up OF neurOns, this theory
pictured man as cOnglOmeratiOn OF
minute hut independent beings. He
was colony Of tiny creatures. They
ruled him. His consciousness was sim
ply the aggregate OF theirs. lie had
no real personal existence. But science
delights In reversing its own findings.
A microscopic, by staining the ne,i-
rOns, has made them more visible nm

not independent. Their prOtoplasm or
cell substance intermingles. They are
not separate entities. Their reign Ia

Springfield, H., July 3l.-Ten per-
Sons were injured, two fatally, by the
premature discharge of the evening gun

Camp Lincoln, this evening. The ex.
plosion was caused by some one throw.
ing a lighted cigarette into powder
which had ia len to the ground. The
accident occurred in the presence OF Y
large crowd of visitors to the camp.
Corporal Balsley and Jesse Rupert,
acting quartern.aster, were loading tho
evening gun, assisted by several men of
Battery A. A sack OF powder was
placed in the mouth of the cannon. and
Rupert was about to drive the charge
home. The powder sack was too long
for the gun, and in forcing it into tho
cannon the canvas was torn, some OF
the powder falling to the ground just
below the nozzle Of the cannon. PRIV.
ate Rupert stood facing the gun, ram.
rod in hand. Balsley also laced the
gun, while number of soldiers and
civilians were gathered around, despite
the commands of the officers in com.
mand to keep back. Suddenly some
one uttered the words:
"Watch them scatter"
There was flash Of powder OH the
ground. the flames were communicated
to the powder which was to be fired in
the cannon aud the gun was discharg.
ed. The ranlrod was broken and shot
from the cannon and Balsley and Rup.
pert had their clothes blown from their
bodies, which were blackened with
powder. The others staggered back.
burned and blinded. The wounded
were taken to the hospitals.
Some say it was u man in uniform
who threw the cigarette. but an eye
witness declares it was small boy.
