Sugar the Human system.

Sugar is substance that dlSSolveS

water. When in solution 1t easily pass
es through animals membrane by
osmosis, and so the question of its
absorption seemed simple enough.
The disease diabetes showed, how
ever, that sugar might exist very
plentifully in the blood and yet the nu-
triton of an individual suffer very
much for the lack of it. Something
else besides its mere presence in the
system was necessary to secure Its
consumption 10y the TISSUES.
Bernard thought that the liver was
active in the consumption of sugar and
that disease of this organ caused dia-
betes. He therefore secured some of

animal and some of the blood that was

blood leaving the liver contained more

W hat RusSia ISLilse

In Russia everything is large and
everything is loud. Moscow is like an
immense village, and everything in it
IS built broad, not high, because there
Is so much space to cover. The public
squares, unpaved and surrounded by
little rim of cobbles, are as big as
meadows. The arcades and passages,
with their cellars below, their shops
above. their glass roofs, are so enor-
nous that they could hold the Passage
des Panoramas and the Burlington
Arcade and the galleries at Milan with
out filing more than a corner of them.
Colors shrek and flame; the Mus
cOyite eyes sees only by emphasis and
by contrast; red is completed either by
another red or by bright blue. There
are no shades, no reticences. no mod
ulations. The restaurants are filled
with the din of vast mechanical or
gans, with drums and cymbals; great
bell clashes against chain on all the
trans to clear the road; the music
which one hears is a ferocity Of brass.
The masons who build the houses
build in top boots red shirts and pink
trousers; the houses are painted red
or green or blue: the churches are like
the temples of savage idols tortured
into every unnatural shape ana colorcd
with glazing color. Bare feet, osier
sandals and legs swathci in rags pass
