Muscles Nav Move Them selves.

Albert Won Halter. a Swiss surgeon
of the eighteenth century. was the
first to point out that the muscles or
our bodies have an automatic action
Before Hailers time it was believed
that the muscles could not contract or
swell up of themselves, but were
drawn up by the nerves OF volition.
Halter discovered that this is not so,
but that muscle. it irritated. will
draw itself together automatically.
even when it is quite separated from
the nerves. and this has since been
proved to be true by a great number
of experiments. So that, though it is
true our nerves are the cause of our
moving. because they excite the mus
cles and so cause them to contact. yet
the real power of contraction is in the
muscle itself. The body of man is
full of wonders. not the least of which
is this automatic power of contraction
in all muscles. - Louisville Courier

"Acres of Diamonds" in Vermont.

We notice that the Vermont and
Arizona Copper company, of which
Hon. Hamilton S. Peck of Burlingt ton
is an officer, is to be reorganized.
This is a mining company in which
many Vermonters invested good mon.
ey and evidently lost it. Had the
same money been invested in COM
pany to develop some asbestos, marble
or granite quarry in Vermont the
chances are that the stockholders
would have something to show for 1t
besides hole in the ground way out
in Arizona. At least the money would
have gone into circulation in Vermont
so they would have stood some chance

no evil in the institution. Aristotle IS
quite outspoken in his justification OF
slavery. A certain amount of mean
work had to be done. he claimed. and
mean natured men" were intended to
do it. The slaves in some Of the Greek
states outnumbered the freemen four
or five to one. Manual labor came in
Greece to be thought degradation
suited only for beings who could not
do the higher work. Even freemen
who worked for wages were by Arts

The lawyer was silent and toyed
somewhat nervously with the paper
cutter, as If not quite decided as to
what response to make. He coughed
and fused with the papers on the
desk
Why don't you have her put out of

an expression in his face that might
have been interpreted as one of an

father. OF course. he has. had moth
ing to do with Howard for months.
AS you know, he turned him out of
doors long ago. but the disgrace is
none the less overwhelming"
The lawyer looked out OF the win
dow and drummed his fingers on the
arm OF his chair. Suddenly wheeling
round, and facing his client, he said:
You know this girl he married is
no ordinary woman"
Obi" she exclaimed, sarcasticalIy.
She has succeeded in aronsing your
sympathy"
The judge bowed coldly.
NO" he replied. Il would hardly
say that. But she has aroused INV

determination. certainly feel sorry
for her Her position is a very pain
a"i o"S- ono mas Dttn married only
few months, and now her husband
has to face the most awful accusation
that can be brought against man.
She is plucky in spite of 1t all. and is
moving heaven and earth in Howard's
defense. She believes herself to be In
some measure responsible for his mis-
fortune. Apart from that, the case
interests me from a purely profession
al point OF view. There are several
strange features connected with the
case. Sometimes, in spite OF Howard's
confession don't believe he com
mitted that crime"
Alicia changed color and. shifting
uneasily on her chair, scrutinized the
lawyers face. What was behind that
calm. inscrutable mask? What theory
had he formed? One newspaper had
suggested suicide. She might herself
come forward and declare that Rob
ert Underwood had threatened to
take his own life. but how could she
face the scandal which such a course
would involve? She would have to
admit visiting Underwoods rooms at
midnight alone. That surely would
ruin her In the eyes not only of her
husband. but of the whole world. II
this sacrifice OF her good name were
necessary to save an innocent mans
life. perhaps she might summon up
