CAUSES OF POOR MEMORY.

The secret Of poor memory Is
either az lack of interest, (2)
hurry, (S) matter Of suggestion or
~ thin blood. Generally coz
frmed poor memory is due to all
four of these causes, and the last
may. have been the first in order OF
forming.
William Hanna Thompson says
that blood is to the brain what oil
is to lamp. This means that clear
thinking and remembering are inn
possible with thin blood. So if you
want to think clearly and remember
readily see that you supply your
body with good food and boundless
oxygen, and give it exercise enough
to make it manufacture good red
blood and circulate it freely.
Fletcherizing and full breathing
are indispensable to good blood and
without good red blood running
clear and fast the brain cannot mako
clear, light thought.-Nautilus.

NOT A MATTER OF LONGEVITY
Something Literary Woman Could
Not Understand About the Life =
Sentence.

During lull in the program the
members of a feminine literary So
ciety were discussing the case of
three criminals who, though sem
fenced to the penitentiary for life,
yet stood good chance, under the
law, of being pardoned after Is
years imprisonment.
The crime of these men had been
particularly atrocious, and one lady
of the party was most emphatic in
her denunciation of the criminals
and the law of the state which
opened an avenue for leniency.
"All that you say is true, Mrs.
s . said one of the members.
"But did you ever consider that not
one criminal in hundred sentenced
to life Imprisonment ever serves out
that term ?"
ssWhy?" queried Mrs. S in
nocently. Don't they live long

FOUND THE CABLES BURNED
Discovery That Throws Light on
Cause Of the Terrible Disaster
at Messina.

During the last few days the voy-
age has been completed of the YES
sci Of the British navy which had
on board the stat Of engineers and
work people charged with the in
quiry into the state of the Geographic
and telephone cables laid in the
Straits Of Messina, who were also
to arrange for their repair and re-
newal after the earthquake. There
are seven cables between the main
land and the island, all of which
were seriously damaged, but with
the exception of the one which was
the most easterly in point of stu
alton and crossed the straits near
Capo Calico they have proved capa-
bic Of being repaired. This last
cable was in such a bad state that it
has had to be abandoned. The sea
bottom throughout the straits has
an average depth of 500 meters, and
during the earthquake the subsoil
underwent such perturbations that
the cable was found to be ultimately
buried in the sand in such a way
that it was impossible to raise it. 1t
is noteworthy that certain parts OF
the recovered cables raised for the
purpose of splicing and repairs
showed signs of having been burnt.
This would appear to confirm the
hypothesis that the cause of the
Siculo-C alabrfan disaster may be at
tributed rather to volcanic submarine
explosions than to land movements.
