IMAGINATION.
Instances Showing How II Ha. MADE
Well Men Sick.

The domination OF imagination over
the normal exercise OF the faculties Is
no new idea. Samuel Rogers suffered
from Violent cold from the effects OF
what he believed to be an open win
dow at his back, which in reality was
closed. An instance OF this known to
the medical faculty Is more strange
still. Two men stayed at a house In
which an Inmate had died of cholera.
One man placed In the room In which
the patient had died was in ignorance
of what had occurred. He slept well
and was no worse. The other, wrong
ly told that the room in which he slept
was that in which the cholera patient
had died, spent Il night of mental
agony and in the morning was actual.
ly found to be suffering from this com
plant He died of cholera.
A similar instance was mentioned
the other day by friend of the writ
er. Two London men stayed in the
country at house where scarlet fever
was reported. One, an unimaginative.
healthy minded fellow, awoke all right
in the morning. The other. a nervous
sensitive man. was very ill-had not
slept and had broken out into a terri
bic rash which both declared to be
scarlet fever. a wire TO a London
medical man was dispatched. and by
the first train he hurried down. The
supposed fever patient proved TO have
no fever at all beyond an imaginary
one. AS a fact, there was no scarlet
fever in the house, the case had been
wrongly diagnosed, and the frightened
visitor had tortured himself into a yio-
lent rash, all without cause.-St James

HEAT AND MOTION.
vaxious Theories About the Connee-
tfon Between fhese Agents.

yaxtoas Theories Ahost the Connee-
tfon Between rhess Agents.
The idea that heat is kind OF motion
was entertained by Plato. who makes
Socrates say: For heat and fire which
generate and sustain other things are
themselves begotten by impact and
friction. but this is motion. Are not
these the origin of fire7'
Bacon defined heat to be "a motion
Getting in its strife upon the smaller
particles OF bodies" Newton, Boyle
and Hooke considered heat to be mo-
ton. Locke described II as "a very
brisk agitation of the insensible parts
OF the objects which produces to us
that sensat ton from whence we demon
mate the object hot; SO what In our
sensation Is heat in the object is moth
ing but motion. This appears by the
way heat is produced, for we see that
the rubbing of brass nail upon a
board will make II very hot"
Many scientific men have held heat
to be matter. and in spite of Rumford's
vigorous exposition of its fallacy this
material theory held its ground until
comparatively recent date, when Sir III.
Davy took up the subject and by his
experiments proved conclusively that
this view Is unsound.

she has completed but one group OF

ARB0R DAY

In accordance with the provisions Of

proved February 10. 1887. | hereby
designate Friday. the 18th day Of April
1904, as Arbor Day. and earnestly re-
quest that the day be observed as q
holiday by the public schools of the
state, but not to be construed asa le-
gal holiday. so far as the courts and
civil contracts are concerned.
The act cited above recommends
that the day named be devoted Ito the
planting of trees, shrubs and vines, in
the promotion Of forest growth and
culture, in the adornment of public and
private grounds. places and ways. and
in such other efforts and undertakings
as shall be in harmony with the day SO
established"
If the people of this state will devote
a little time on that day to promoting
the object and intention Of the law,
much good will be- accomplished, the
general appearance Of the state i'm
proved and the people made happier
and more contented.
Who can imagine a life scene more
admirable than the family group en-
joying the welcome shade Of their home
trees surrounded by flowers, shrubs and
vinesa The stranger who passes by
will certainly partake Of the refreshing
influence and judge with kindly appre-
citation our conditions. The same may
be said of our parks, our highways and
byways. Their are very few people
whose hearts do not respond to the
beautiful.
Let US therefore cultivate and adorn
our homes and public places in a way
that will not only afford pleasure to our
selves. but also to those who are So
journing with u.s. and others who may
come after.
