WHAT A KNOCKOUT BLOW DOES

Medical Explanation Of the Jolt on
the Point Of the Jaw.
Inasmuch as all boxing, contests
which terminate speedily are, as
rule ended by this character OF coup
de grace, the physiology OF II Is OF
great interest A man struck with
any degree of force upon the mental
area OF the jaw. although he may be
in perfect physical condition, instant

The attitude assumed In recovery.
which may be instantaneous or de-
layed some minutes, is most charac-
teristic. He squirms about, raises his
head and rolls his eyes in an at
tempt to locate himself. He tries TO
get on his side and elbow. He en-
deavors to rise upon his hands and
knees. IL he regains his feet, he
staggers like a drunken man and
should he proceed to reopen hostili-
ties, he is usually promptly put out
by his adversary. The blow Is prac-
tically never fatal the hearts action
is never undully accelerated. the
pulse anu respiration are uOl mai thc
pupils are normal there is no head
ache, no sweats, no cold extremeties.
no pallor-none of the ordinary signs
of shock or concussion.
James G. Duncanson British Medi-
cal Journal. April 4. 1909 believes
the condition to be due entirely to a
shaking up OF the endolymph in the
semicircular canals. When the blow
is administered there Is violent over
twisting of the head. which is held
in its anteposterior position by mus
cles which, compared with those In
fiicting the blow, are small and puny.
The result Is that the head flies
around with jerk and the fluid In
the canals is subjected to greater
disturbance than by any other trauma.
There is little reason to doubt that
this is the interesting pathology OF
the well-known but little understood
coup de grace.-Medical News.

colleagues with a single blow from
his ponderous fist. In the early days
of Idaho, when nearly everyone car

Mayor Lows friends have promoted
more actions against Magistrates in less

At the same time, there is no guarantee in
the appointments Mayor Low has made
that bench reorganized by him would

the Mayors Police Commissioner believes
these courts should DO an automatic ma

MAYOR DEFENDS El'E-BARS.
Tammany Expected to Give Up Fight
Against bridge Bonds.

Since the Tammany Aldermen, with the
aid Of eight Republican votes, succeeded
last week in defeating the appropriation
for the Manhattan bridge Mayor Low has
been working hard to insure a reversal OF
that vote. He sent a communication to
the Board, pointing out that his commission
of engineering experts had approved the
eye-bar cable; that there are at least two
companies whose plants are capable OF
turning out bars OF the requisite thick
ness, and that two other companies are pre-
pared to have lS-inch plants put up within
six months; and that "the American repre-
sentative Of Krupp has asked for an oppor-
tunity to submit proposition for the loose
eye-bars, 70 rgings and the like"
After explaining that there would, conse-
auently, be competition for the contract,
the Mayor related that there was no in
tention to issue at once the 50 532 900 bonds
asked for. They would be issued only as
they were required, and it would probably
be thrse wears or more before they were all
put out.
The probability is that Tammany will
make no further fight against the appro-
priation. The four Manhattan Republicans,
Aldermen Whitaker, Holmes, Mathews
and Jones, who voted against the appro-
priation last week will not repeat their per-
Torrance.
However, predictions about what Tam
many would do came out wrong the last
tune.

submits to all sorts Of small tortures
and impositions from his childish play
mates; has an instructive chivalry--
why has doggery sunk to base uses?---
and is model OF sweet temper and OF
patient forbearance with youthful ca
price and cruelty. And dogs have many
other virtues and quick comprehenslons
which endear them to women, whose
alert intelligence runs ahead OF the
stolid masculine observer.
The quick sympathy Of dogs, that
mysterious telepathy by which they sur
mise the misfortunes, the Ill health,
even the dark premonitions OF their
human companions-a hundred traits OF
romantic attachment and penetrating
clairvoyance are OWNED most intimately
by women. By the Dog! What does a
man know about dogs, anyway? They
are his comrades in his vacation days,
perhaps. He bestows a careless and
lordly attention upon them on Sunday
or In his after office hours. Women live
with them and have closer and more
adequate understanding Of their quail
ties, You may be sure that even the
meanest measly cur that ever was petted
