Effect Of Condiments on Food.

The Russian Psychologist Pavlov
has clearly demonstrated in his re-
searches on digestion, that the indi-
gestion OF substances with purely
nutrient value does not sufficiently
satisfy the demands of the body
taste and appetite must also be taken
into consideration. These are salts
fed only by the addition TO the food of
spices and salt. and it is largely due
to the influence of these condiments
that the proper amount of gastric
Juice is liberated by the mucous mem
brane of the stomach. The action upon
the stomach OF reflex stimuli is shown
by the favorable effect on the flow OF
the gastric secretions made by mental
impressions induced by the mere sight
and odor of well-prepared DISH

FINS ARE oIMlLAR TO WINGS.
Flying Fish Really Propel Themselves
Throuuh the Air

'h'OuOH the Air.
Does the flying fish really fly. OF is
the so-called flight q mere extended
leap. In which the fms are used on
the principle OF the aeroplane TO float
or rest on the air, and so afford sup
port 20 the body? The question has
been much discussed, and many nat
uraiists have denied Ii the power OF
true night. Mr.. Frank Bullen, who in
his many voyages has had unique OPP
portunities for observing the flying
isb, Is emphatic in the assertion. that
II does really fly in the proper sense
OF the word. He has seen It., for ex-
ample, change its course at a sharp
angle when an obstacle interviewed.
and when about to re-entcr the water
he has seen 1t rise and continue it's
course on seeing an enemy below.
Some recent observations contributed
by Lieut.. Col. Durnford TO the Lon
don Annals and Magazine OF Natural
History, confirm this view. The
writer contends that the ordinary
aeroplane theory involves a mechani-
cal impossibility. The true eXplana-
ticn is an intensely rapid vibration of
the winglike ins--a vibration which
becomes apparent to the eye as it
slows down when the fish reaches the
water.-London Globe
