The blood of birds offers some data
for thought not found In the blood of
any other class of animals. The blood
corpusclcs are shaped differently, be-
ing oval instead of round. But this is
not the difference to which | refer.
Birds blood is several degrees warmer
than that of other animals. To man
such a temperature of the blood as
birds possess would be fever This
high temperature causes molecular
changes in the tissues and brain to take
place more rapidly. which would cause
the consumption of more food, and
brain activity would be more Intense.
so that for the same amount of work A
smaller brain would meet all the re-
guirements, which at lower tempera
ture would require one of greater size

HIS VISIT TO vEsuvIUS.
And What He Thought as He Gazed
Into the Fiery Pit.


Into the Fiery Pit.
An American who detests sightsee-
ing upon principle loafed for six weeks
at Sorrento without stirring In the d.
rection of places most tpa yelers would
have thought 1t criminal to omit. His
only dread was the cross questioning
of kind friends when he got home. To
confess that he had deliberately staid
away from all those celebrated spots
of interest would bring down no end Of
scorn and denunciation upon him. But
sufficient unto the day Is the evil there
of, and the American resolved to trust
TO inspiration to get him out of such
possible scrapes. The first person he
met after leaving Sorrento was an
American woman on the train. and the
first thing she wanted to know was If
he had climbed Vesuvius.

a CULVER.
"Oh. tell me all about It!' cried the
woman How interesting it must
have been. My husband never would
let me go up, but I'd just love to hear
your experience.
The American, having heard the
whole story many. many times, plung-
ed into it with much detail. He de-
scribed the long drive from Naples to
the foot of the mountain and the steep
ness of the inclined railway and the
way the women of the party squealed
and all the rest of it. From time to
time the woman interrupted with some
searching question, but SO well did he
know his lines that never once did she
catch him mapping. At last. after a
realistic account of how, after leaving
the train he had plunged his way on
foot through the not. powdery lava to
the crater's very edge. the American
paused for breath.
'And what" asked the woman,

What a splendid type of tireless activity
is the sun as the palmist describes it issu-
ing like "a bridegroom from his chamber
and rejoicing like a strong man to run a
race. (" Every man ought to rise in the
morning refreshed by slumber and renew
ed by rest, eager for the struggle of the
day. But how rarely this is SO. Most
people rise still unrefreshed, and dreading
the strain of the days labors. The cause
of this is deficient vitality and behind this
lies deficient supply of pure, rich blood,
and an inadequate nourishment of the
body. There is nothing that will give a
man strength and energy, as will DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery 1t
does this by increasing the quantity and
quality Of the blood supply. This nour-
ishes the nerves, feeds the brain, builds up
enfeebled organs, and gives that sense Of
strength and power which makes the
struggle Of life a joy. The good feeling
which follows the use of Golden Medical
Discovery is not due to stimulation as it
contains no alcohol, whiskey or other in
toxicant. 1t does not brace up the body,
but builds it up into condition of sound
health.
