Cause OF Car Sickness.

w. c. Wood attributes car sickness

when the eye shifts to the one follow
Ing. This is true of near buildings
Objects farther away seem to move
slower, and those very far off seem to
be almost stationary until the whole
landscape appears to be revolving
round q common center. The IN
conscious effort to take in everything
produces rapid lateral oscillation of
the eyeballs, as any one can observe
by watching the eyes of his fellow
passengers. The eye strain is enor-
nous and is the chief factor in pro-
ducinS car sickness. This can be
proved by asking Il patient who is
subject to car sickness to look steadily
at mirror which is moved rapidly
to and fro or tilted backward and
forward He will Immediately COM

treatment consists of advising the
patient to avoid looking out of the car

THE RIVER NILE.
Aneient Greeks and the Process OF
SteriIizina Mater


|; The ancient Greeks already recon-
mended the use of sterilized water.
Rufus Of Ephesus, in the first century
of this era, taught that '.all water
from rivers and ponds is bad except
that from the Nile. Water from rivers
which dow through unhealthy soil,
stagnant water and that which flows
near public bathing places is harmful.
The best water is that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated a second time
before drinking,
This hygienic prescription was in
tended both for healthy and sick peo-
pie, since it was applied to the armies:
During marches and in camps pits
must be dug successfully from the
highest point to the lowest level of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as is used for making
pottery and the water should be made
to percolate through it. The water will
leave all its impurities in these pits"
1t may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks, knowing the processes of Ster-
ilization and filtration Of water which
they applied to that of the most limpid
rivers, should have drunk without pre-
cautions the water Of the Nile, which
our microscopes allow us to declare
sound" but which is in appearance
the most worthy of suspicion of all
and is so muddy so yellow, that it re-
sembleS wine.-Gazette des Faux.

Cams Dry Humor,

When the gallant Welsh CAPTAIN
DAVID Gam was sent forward by
Henry Y. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle of Aginconrt
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about five to one. His
report to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast Of the result of
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeo1nan
archer of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that it was al
most literally justified by the event.
Poor Cams dry humor was euuaIed
by his courage. He was killed while

THE BASILlSk.
How the Fabulous Monster Was Pic
tured by Ancient Writers.


The basflisll was the most famous
of the many fabulous monsters of me-
diaeval folklore. According to the
popular notion, it was Matched by n
toad from an egg laid by the cock of
the common barnyard fowl In the
ancient picture books it was usually
represented as an eight limbed ser
pent or dragon, sometimes with and
sometimes without wings. It's name
Is derived from basiliscos, meaning Il
little king, and was applied because
the creature was figured with a circle
OF white spots on it's head which much
resembled n crown The cocl1atrice, q
species of basilisk, besides having q
crown, possessed q comb which was
an exact counterpart of the cocks.
Pliny assures us that the basilisk
had voice which 'struck terror to
the hearts of men, beasts and SER
DentS.". The Bible classes it with the
lion, the serpent and the dragon as
one OF the most formidable creatures
Old writers-Pliny, Bascho and others
say that its bite was mortal in every
case, that its breath was suffocatfns
and that no plant would grow in the
vicinity OF its lair. It's dead body
was often suspended in belfries to pre-
vent swallows from building there.
