Brain and Mental Ability.
Much the larger part of brain is
composed of white matter-that is, of
nerve fibers-which has nothing what
ever to do with real brain work and
which only carries messages. Again,
If research is to be trusted. it is only
the brain cells of very limited (prob-
ably the frontaD region which have
to do with the highest mental opera
tons. When. therefore, we talk about
the size of head and brain and the
weight of the brain we should clearly
understand that only an infinitesimal
fraction of the three pounds weight
or so of an ordinary brain can be reck-
oned as representing brain cells-they
are the agents of our nervous gov
ernance. Practically the brain cells
(of the cerebrum or great brain at
leasD bear no larger proportion to
the brains mass than the rind of a
Dutch cheese does to the eatable por-
ton.

Floods And Forests.

Most people believe enormously,
says Professor Gannett, that floods in
our rivers are more frequent than
formerly because of the cutting down
OF forests in their drainage basins.
Probably the clearing of land by cut.
ting away forests and underground
does affect streams, increasing their
flood height and diminishing the flow
at low stages. In other words. water
probably runs off or evaporates more
rapidly from bare ground than from
ground covered with forests. But
where the forests are cut away the
ground is seldom left bare; it is cult
waited or quickly becomes covered
with bushes which hold the water
quite as effectively as forests The
floods in our rivers are no greater or
more frequent now than in the past.

Luminous Microbes.

Mr. J. Il. Barnard has been studying
the general history of luminous mi
crobes, which he tells us are practi-
cally characteristic of seawater The
modus operandi of the light produc-
ton is still In some respects unknown
to the scientist. AS in the production
of heat, so in the development of
light, oxygen is absorbed and carbonic
acid gas given off by the living form,
but in addition, and behind the mere
chemical action, there lies what Mr..
Barnard calls some factor of which at
present we know nothing. Probably
the photogenic germs can emit their
light wether they are agitated or
whether they are at rest. The main
condition required appears to be a
supply of oxygen, but the fact that
some kind of stimulation is usually
required to demonstrate the phos-
phorescence would seem to point to
some nervous or vital element in
volved in the work. Mr. Barnard has
photographed certain species of these
germs by means of the light they
themselves emitted. Examined by aid
of the spectroscope the light is linn
tied to small area of the visible
spectrum. Regarded from the visual
standpoint it includes only green and
blue, while from the Photographic side
it extents somewhat toward the VIC

Longevity.

DR.. Arlidge. an English physician,
has recently published the results of
years of close study of longevity. He
decides that the indolent rich are the
shortest-lived of all classes and gives
as the cause of this seeming anomaly
that they worry their lives away. The
farmer stands at the head of the list
of long livers; he generally has to
toll hard, but his work is in the open
air and in an altogether healthy en-
vironment. Good digestion with him
waits upon appetite. The miner. not
withstanding that for eight hours of
the "a he is working cramped in coal
pit, shut out from the sun and in an
atmosphere thickly impregnated with
coal dust, is, contrary to preconceived
notions, healthy man and usually
lives to green old age.

stories. One Of his heroes was Lewis
Wetzel, who became noted as an In.
dian fighter renowned for his daring
ventures. He had great personal
courage, with which was combined a
knowledge of the forest and a skill in
stratagem that made him, as my
grandfather faid, general of the
woods"

Va. II was in early June and young

Vegetarianism.

We think that the advocates of veg
etarianism or a "bloodless diet" are
extremists and that If by any mir
acle the civilized nations were con-
verified to this practice it would be to
the advantage neither of mankind nor
OF animals But we are Just as thor
oughly convinced that that extreme
would not be worse than the present
one of eating too much meat. There
are facts, and enough of them. to
show that health and strength are
possible upon diet without meat. but
there is the other incontrovertible fact
that generally speaking the makers
and bearers of civilization have been
and are meat eaters. But a moderate
amount of both kinds of food is far
better than either extreme. OF the
two, as we have said there can be
little doubt that the overeating of
meat is the worse both for health and
morals. The American, even the
poorest, spends twice or thrice as
much as he need or should upon his
food. A capital illustration of this
fact has been given of late in New
York city, where a "One-cent restau-
rant" has been established and has SO
far proved successful. large bowl
of pea soup, hominy or oats. etc, is
served for one cent. and other things
coffee. bread and butter, beans,
buildings etc.-at from to cents

Meteors.

-
Tire meteors that fash across the
sky at certain yearly periods usually
burn out in the upper air, but occa-
sionally meteoric mass lasts long
enough to reach the earth. One fell
on May Is, 1900. at Felix. Ala. Mete-
ors were seen on the occasion referred
TO and sundry explosions were heard,
while later on mass of meteoric sub
stance weighing seven pounds was
discovered imbedded in soft soil This
meteorite was analyZed and found to
be built up of such minerals as Divine,
augite, triolite, nickeliron and graphite
carbon. The dark color of the Felix
stone is stated to be due to the pres
ence in fair amount of the last named
substance. The interest attaching to
meteorites, of course, centers around
the fact that they enable US to obtain
glimpses of the composition OF the
other worlds than ours. Astronomy is
well agreed on the unity of chemical
composition which marks the orbs,
and even the simple fact that II is
hydrogen gas which blazes in the sun
and gives us our light and heat is a

negro n desirable Surgical subject.
In the New Orleans Merical and
Surgical Journal DR.. Lotion discusses
the surgical tolerance of the negro.
He says that although the environ
ments of the negro are anything but
inviting, surgically speaking, and
while septic conditions abound on
every hand, no more brilliant recoy-
cries are ever seen than those which
are found in negro cabins and novels.
Sepsis really appears to be an un-
known quantity with the negro. His
ignorance regarding his condition
helps the course of recovery. He is
generally obedient, and, further, he is
by nature an optimist. Grease, dirt
and filth do not assert their septic in
fiuences in the colored patient as they
do in the white, though the negro is
decidedly more susceptible to con-
tagion than the white race, and con-
taminated blood is the rule rather than
the exception in the negro. Incisions
and wounds generally close rapidly by
primary union. Rarely does stitch
abscess present itself. Wounds of the
cranial, thoracic or abdominal cavities
do not produce in the negro the
amount of shock noticed in white sub
jects. While the soft parts heal with
great rapidity in the colored race, the
bony structures unite less readily. The
average negro IL inclined to be med
dlesome-"to see if the bone has
knit"
Light-Producing Germs.
Light is powerful natural germi-
cide-and especially direct sunlight
in that it kills many microbes after a
few hours exposure. The experiments
of Ransom and others have shown
conclusively the germicidal powers of
sunlight over the bacilli of consump-
ton. for example, and did we enjoy a
larger share of Sols favors the mi
crobes of tuberculosis would fail to
reach us in, any thing like the numbers
by which we are liable to be attacked.
The other side to the light question in
connection with germ life is that
themselves light producers. The
phosphorescent light of the sea does
not precisely represent the work of
germs, but of certain low forms of
animalcular life that are able to trans
form so much of their vital energy into
light. The glow worms fires are pro-
duced by light-emitting organs on the
same principle. Away below such or.
ganisms, however we find microbes
that are phosphorescent in habits. Re.
search has shown that a certain kind
of sandhopper is occasionally seen to
glow with internal fires, as it were
The luminosity of the little crustacean
is now known to be due to the pres
ence in its frame of microbes which
give off a phosphorescent glow. and as
the light is really a symptom that the
sandhopper is being attacked by a
fatal ailment we may regard the Great
ure as ending in kind of CONSUMING
