authority, has the singular property of
lessening the sense of hunger, and
may probably be remembered in deal
ing with cases of diabetes. The seat
of hunger is found in the solar plex-

carbonic acid gas the branches of the
solar plexus distributed through the
mucous membrane of the stomach are
Influenced in such way that the abs
normal irritation of the plexus which
is the foundation for the ravenous
hunger often present in diabetes and
certain forms of indigestion may be
greatly mitigated, if not appeased.

Columbia river between The Dalles and
the Cascade mountains. The submer-
gence took place $50 years ago, and
since then the roots have been under
water, while the upper parts of the
trunks have been barred yearly at low
water. The bark is gone, and the
wood is partly wasted away, but some
of it is firm and looks fresh. This
fact seems owing to the durable quail
ity of the wood, that species, namely,
the pseudotsuga douglassi.
