soure. Of Nervous Impulse.

The theory of Loeb and Matthews
that the nervous impulse, although 1t
brings in electricity. is far from re-
garding the transmission of that i'm.
pulse as identical with simple cleo
trical current. In medical journal.
DIR. O'Brien advocates the old theory
that nervous current and electrical
current are identical. because. first,
electricity is always present when
nerves act; second. electricity is the
form OF iorce which would do the
work required third, because the ter
minal and central mechanisms con-
nected with the nerves correspond to
the terminal and central mechanisms
connected with electrical system of
communication. and do similar work
in sending. receiving. relaying. switch.
ing. Transforming, accumulating, re-
tarding distributing and translating
impressions, ard. fourth. because cleo
tricity. with such construction OF con-
lductors and of terminal mechanisms.
is the only form OF force we know OF

NO" said the Conservative CltI.
zen. II am not swaycd by prejudice.
but I shuddcr when think what will
happen to this country II women are
ever allowed to vote and become
really Interested In politics"
Whats the matter? Think they'd
neglect their home dutics?"
No. II isn't that. suppose they'd
take good care OF their homes and Ia
bics-if there are any babies In these
progressive days-but 1t isn't that"
Afraid they wouldn't vote rs intel
ligcntly as men?"
NO. don't see how they could
make any more blundcrs in that line
than we do. When l think of tho
chumps that I. with dciirious enthu.
siasm. have helped to put into Office,
| don't feel competene to criticise
other voters. present or prospective"
We'll what are you afraid OFF,
why. I'm afraid they'd get to bet.
ting on elections. Just suppose that
in the course OF an excited political
discussion Mrs. Brown should say to
Mrs. Jones. "I'll bet you n hat that
Mrs. Robinson will be showed under!"
It's bad enough when man bets a
hat-or even when he bets half a
dozen hats. There's some limit to the
cost. But II women get to betting
hats, why, SIR the country will be i'm

Vital Statistics of London.

Greater London. which includes all
the suburbs. has population of 6,5sl..
372 an increase of just under 1.00O.OOO
in ten years. more than half of which
occurred in the outer ring" At the
ages of nineteen, twenty. twenty-one
to twenty-five. and twenty-five to thir.
ty, there are more than twice as many
females as males. 1t is pointed out In
considering the excess of females over
males. account must be taken of the
large number of female domestic serv-
ants who are brought into London
from the country. London has 234,-
39S female servants, ard only 15,425
men servants. London has less chill.
dren than it has had for many years,
but it has more people over forty-fve
