ate the brain, and the reaction from
the stimulation is not perceptible;
hence tea and coffee are excellent
brain spurs. For a little while they
do actually make us more intelligent
than we naturally are. That is why they
are so popular. 1t is why We chemists
call them intellectual drinks. Alcohol

champagne or beer or whisky. is not
an intellectual drink. but the opposite
From the beginning alcohol stupeties
instead of enlivening the brain. But
1t makes us talk! If it were not en-
hvening how should it make us talk ?
Alas. alcohol makes us talk but we
say under its influence the things we
should not. Alcohol deadens the in

brain. 1t stupefies the brain muscle.

very fond of telling about the long sea

Scrana From the Sea.

There is often found at sea life
belt or some sort of life preserver
floating on the water that bears the
name of the vessel to which it be-
longed," said a veteran sea captain.
AS soon as it is reported there is at
once a great amount of speculation on
the part of those interested in the ship
as TO whether the vessel is safe or not.
This increases TO alarm IL the ship is
any way overdue In most instances
the preserver has been washed from
the deck by d wave or has fallen over
board. and the alarm is entirely with
out foundation. | remember an in
stance in which my boat broke a crank
shaft. We were eleven days overdue.
and We were given up for lost because
raft that should have been fastened
on the deck was washed overheard and
picked up by faster liner. | have
sometimes thought it would be good
thing If these minor articles We're not
