THE SUPRARENAL GLANDS.
Surprising Theories About These Or
gans of the Human Body.

guns Oh the Douys
One of the stones which the builders
of physiological theories had rejected
bids fair to become the head of the cor
ner. DR.. Sajous of Philadelphia has
disclosed to his medical brethren some
surprising theories about the ductless
glands in the human body. There are
two small organs called the suprarenal
glands, placed just above the kidneys,
which have been thought to be useless,
but DR.. Sajous AYERS, as a result OF
fourteen years of investigation, that
they are of vital consequence. They
secrete substance which carried to
the lungs takes up oxygen and forms
another substance which becomes mix
ed with the blood. 1t is this last sub
stance, called adrenoxin, which does
the work Of supplying the tissues with
oxygen, which has so long been credit
ed to the red corpuscles. The supra
renal glands are connected by nerves
with a small organ in the brain Ghe
use of which has not been KNOWN
which governs them and regulates
their absorption Of oxygen. Dr. Sajous
says that it is on this organ of the
brain, called the anterior pituitary
body, that all poisons work, and it
fights them by stirring up the glands
to take up more oxygen. More oxygen
means more combustion, the burning
up of poisons, of which the symptom is
fever. A strong pituitary enables a
man to lay in good supply of oxygen
and destroy disease germs, and now
that the use of pituitaries is under
stood they can be stimulated on occa-
sion by drugs, so that folks with weak
ones may make better fight against
germs. DR.. Sajous considers that what
we have been used to call vitality is
simply pituitary efficiency. All this is
good for the doctors to know, if it is
so and it Is interesting anyway. 1t is
always a satisfaction when a job is
found for an organ that has been held
to be useless. Some day it may be dis
covered that the vermiform appendix
is valuable anatomical asset and that
no man who has lost his may reason
ably aspire to be president. That the
body should contain an organ the sole
use of which is the enrichment of the
surgeons who remove it is not reason
able.-Harper's Weekly.

& Coffin BRIDGE.

One of the most curious bridges
ever built, perhaps unique in the
history of the world, was that made
by the British troops in 1860. They
were marching on Peking, but found
their progress barred by flooded
river of considerable width and
depth. A timber party was formed,
but found nothing to cut down or
borrow suitable for bridge. At
last a huge store Of collins was dis
covered in the village, and with
these the soldiers built their bridge
and crossed alive over the recepta-
Giles for the dead.

OUR FREAKIsH NOTIONS.
"Crazy sociar' a Yankee Idea Which Gives Londoners Something
 to Say About Us.

That some English people believe Americans capable of any sort of freak fish notion under the guise of entertain ment is attested by a paragraph in re- cent issue of an English weekly. The writer, 8 woman, says an American friend tells her that "a new Yankee mo- tion is crazy social at which the idea is that everybody and everything should look and act as insanely as might be. The costumes, the women and the men should be eccentrioity personifled, and the food served must be arranged to match" According to this chronicler. at recent "crazy social'' the meats were served in jelly molds, jam pots or dust-pans; the vegetables in cake-bas- kets, the blanc-mange in a fire shovel. the ice cream in stew pan, the wine glasses were filled with mustard, the jellies trembled in a saucepan lid, the cream was in pickle bottle, the sugar in the salt cellars and the salt in the sugar basins. The things which ought to have been roasted were boiled, and salt fla- vored the food which Is usually sweet. Attempts were made to eat clear soup with dessert forks, and ice cream with table knives.

President Roosevelt's actions ana ar- titude at present are watched by the conservative people of the country They do not like the warlike attitude the president assumes at times. A Washington writer says that he has an- tagonized the Grand Army of the Re- public by his treatment of General Miles; he has acquired the enmity of all the officers of the army by his boosting of General Leonard Wood over their heads, and he has been put to it to ind something that would relieve him and again place him before the public Tn something like decent attitude ana attract the plaudits of the people. In these straits he has gladly seized on this Turkish matter as something that would rehabilitate his fallen fortunes and place him once more enrapport with the people. There is no telling how far he will go with this thing, nor
 what will be its outcome. If the peo- ple knew the man as we do here Tn Washington, they would not be sur prised at any action onfhis part.

BREECH-LOADERs ARE OLD.
BrOnxe Cannon of That Make Were ,.> >rs,,. in Use fin Spain Some ..ss
 @ Centuries Ago. -

That there is very little new under the sun has once more been proved at Tobermory bay, Null, says a London paper, where Capt. Burns, of Glasgow, has, with the permission of the duke of Argyll, been searching for the relics of the Admiral of Florence, one>of the ves- sells of the Spanish Armada, known to have been blown up in 1588 in that far- away water. With the aid of an old chart the diver went down into 12 fath- oms and came across a bronze breech- loading cannon four and one-half feet long, eight inches In diameter at the breech and bearing the date 1563 The divers also discovered pistol heavily 1ncrusted with lime, sword blade and kedge anchor.
 Breech loading in artillery and small arms is poDularly supposed to be an in- vention of the middle of last century, but such is by no means the case Tn a Dublin gunsmith's shop at Cork Hill is a breech-loading rife, which was of- fered to the British war office at the close of the eighteenth century and re- jected, as it was considered to need too much ammunition.

Concerning the crop outlook there is little change, says Henry Clews in his weekly letter. Two weeks more and the bulk of the corn crop will be out of danger of frost. As we have stated in previous advices, this is not going to be year of large crops. but no serious deficiencies are to be expected, and a good demand at profitable prices is as- sured for nearly all agricultural pro- ducts, the beneficial effects of which upon general business need not be en- larged upon. Another source of anxi- ety in this connection that seems to have practically Msappeared is the cot ton corner. This movement appears to have been an exception to the rule of failure in corners, and it's managers are understood to have closed out the bulk of their holdings at handsome profits and to be in no danger by carrying what remains. aa' ss--ES

Speaking of Sir Thomas Lipton's guests on the Erin during the yacht races, those of them that 'sblabbed. '' a writer in a sporting journal says that the handful of gilded swine who put a burning blush on the cheek of decent behavior ate the food of Sir Thomas, drank his good wines and whiskdes, smoked his cigars and bor- rowed his yachting caps. They were of the breed that makes football rush es on the dining rooms of entertain ments of a semi-pubic character; that considers society a catch-as-catch-can lunch counter, and puts its forefeet in every free trough that is not barred and guarded against their onset. Sir Thomas Dpton was an "easy mark" for this sort of men and women, and they scented his lavish entertainment from afar. The assortment of guests and otherwise on the decks of the. Erin on racing days was slightly peculiar. A public service and an apology to the host could be combined in a published list of the intruders who were not gem uine guests on board by the will and at the pleasure of the owner of the Erin.

not a fraud said old Coke to himself, and then, as luck would have 1t, he happened to pick up copy of the Broad Arrow, the journal of the united services of Great Britain. Lawyer Coke looked at it. His eye fell on para graph and he chuckled. He folded the paper up, put it in his pocket and took the first train for Lowland Glen. He marked the paragraph in the paper and put 1t where he knew Betty would be sure to pick it up, and from the nature of the publication he knew that she would be sure to read it from start to finish.
 Betty Rawlins felt that the hour was coming when she would have to an swer question put to her by Col. Reg inald Southcote. She was thinking of this when she picked up the Broad Ar row. She knew what the paper was, for she had heard of it. She read 1t eagerly. The date of the paper was three months back. The marked para graph caught her eye. She read this:
 Gen. PowellBaden inspected the Royal Yorickshire regimnt last Thurs day. It was the first training day of this militia organization for a year. The men were in poor trim, and Col. Reginald Southcote, who has seen no foreign service and very little at home, had hard work to give commands and to sit his horse properly. The regiment will need overhauling to bring it up to even militia standards"
 The paper dropped from Betty's fin- gers. "Millitiaman! never saw day's real service; couldn't sit on his horse; :" and then Betty gasped. Her thoughts turned to another paragraph that she had read In an American journal. It told how one Capt. Roy Lanyard had received the congressional medal of honor for personal gallantry in the sav- ing of the life of a comrade under fierce fire in the Philippine islands.
 Betty knew that night at the ball at the hotel that Col. Reginald Southcote was seeking her out, but she avoided him. Capt. Roy Lanyard met her and she smiled on him, and there was look in her eyes that made the young SOL dier's heart leap. Wont you go for a walk with me?" he said.
 tYes," she answered, softly.
 As they passed down the hotel steps the moonlight fell full upon them, and Lawyer Coke, who was standing on the wag, he turned to friend who had been watching the course of events for month past and said:
 Alas! Poor Yorickshire. "-C Chicago Record-Herald
