The pelusive Effect of Alcohol.

DR.. Kraeplin OF Heidelberg university
has made extensive experiments TO deter
mine the effect of alcohol upon brain &C.
ton. He found that simple actions, as
reading aloud, were at first quickened by
a small dose of alcohol but rendered less
accurate, also that processes involving no
more complex actions than adding, hgures
or performing problems IN mental arlth-
metic were hindered by the small dose
of alcohol. The result OF these expert
ments came as a surprise to the doctor HIM
self who had hitherto shared the popular
belief that small doses of alcohol quicken
ed the activity of his mind. When he
came to measure with his unerring instru
ments the exact time occupied he found
to his establishment that more time was
required to perform these operations than
when he did not use alcohol though 1t
seemed to him that the brain was acting
more RAPIDLY. Similar experiments were
tried upon others with the same results,
and singularly enough, each one felt when
under the influence OF alcohol that he was
doing better and more rapid work though
the tabulated results showed the reverse
to be true.
A man for time feels warmer in winter
after taking a glass OF liquor, but many
experiments have proven that he only feels
warmer while he is actually colder and
would succumb to severe exposure more
quickly than if he had not taken, alcohol.
So well known is this fact now that ,alco-
hol lowers the temperature Of the body
that explorers and others who are exposed
to expreme cold regard this narcotic as
deadly foe.
The seven diseases that account for more
than half the deaths, all find more victims
among the incorporate. Tuberculosis ranks
first in its death destroying power and
alcohol is responsible for more than halt
of these deaths. The statistics of FIVE New
England cities show that so per cent OF all
cases of pneumonia were among those who
used alcohol. The reason the. drunkard
is content with his characteristic; environ
ment is due to the deluslye and Elusive ell
estimating disagreeabe conditions and
makes the brain impervious to all higher
sensibilities

EXPECT TO HEAR
SOON AFTER JUNE l
Boston & Maine Engineers Are
Completing Vermont Survey.
CAN'T FINISH LINK THIS YEAR
No Matter on Which Side of the River
1t Is Eventually Generally Be.
lieved that officials of Two Roads Are
Getting Together on the Proposition.

While the office staff of the Boston
x Maine engineering force have been
taking things easy for the past two
weeks the field force has been busy
When the surveyors started out this
morning they had completed the work
of locating about seven of the ten miles
of the proposed extension between
South Vernon and Brattleboro on the
Vermont side of the Connecticut river
and the survey has been cross sec toned,
IL is expected that by the end of next
week the plans will be in shape to begin
the work of figuring the excavation and
filling in order to have estimates ready
for contractors when announcement
comes from Mr.. Mellen to proceed with
the work of building on the Vermont
side of the river. While the Grand
Trunk engineers are considering the
plans submitted by Engineer George NJ.
Tompson for solving the Brattleboro
problem the Boston & Maine officials
are taking time by the forelock and
propose to be ready to move quickly
when orders are issued by Mr. Mellen.
z, Il. Pearl of Bedford, Mass, who
succeeded James III. Willoughby as land
agent and right of way man, has been
busy examining the titles of all prop
erty between South Vernon and Brat
tleboro over which the proposed Dos,
ton & Maine extension will pass ana
everything is in readiness to begin TAX
ing options. Mr.. Pearl went to West
Lebanon, y. H.. Monday and reports
received from him Yesterday were to
the effect that he had secured options
upon over 5000 feet of the right OF way
desired south of West Lebanon.
There is a feeling among the local
force of engineers that something den,
mite will be done soon after, the frst OF
June regarding the Bratt Vernon
link. 1t is stated at the company ;
office in Market block that the work OF
getting the plans in shape for estimates
will be rushed night and day should
word be received within a few DAYS
that contractors are to be as ed to sub
init bids for constructing the ROAD on
the Vermont side of the river.
In view of the fact that the rOad
cannot be built on either side of the
river. beginning at this season of the
wear. in less than one year IT is pointed
out that Mr.. Mellen need not urge as
much haste in the matter as he has mere
tofore done. Should il develop that
the road is to be built in New lamp
shire all that will be required to start
dirt fiying is telegram to the con
tractor receiving the contract. Engl-
neer Tompson has received seven BIDS
for buildinc the Hinsdale. Brattleboro
link. and the bids have been carefully
compared. If Engineer Tompson re-
ceiyes orders to build in New Hamp-
shire he is ready to start instantly.
