Muscles May Move Thems selves.

Albert Won Halter. a Swiss surgeon
of the eighteenth century. was the
first to point out that the muscles OF
our bodies have an automatic action
Before Haller's time 1t was believed
that the muscles could not contract OF
swell up of themselves. but were
drawn up by the nerves OF volition.
Halter discovered that this is not SO,
but that a muscle, If 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 1t Is
true our nerves are the cause of our
moving. because they excite the mus
Giles 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

Oyster islands similar to those form

This growth is exactly analogous TO

The islands near the mouth OF the
river Tagus, in Portugal, are said to
have been built up in this way also

of oysters that 100.000,000 year would

When Tea Was Dear.

Those who grumbIe at the price OF
tea should turn for consolation to the
records OF its price In early times. AT
Its first introduction into England,
about the middle Of the seventeenth
century. tea fetched anything between
to and flO pound, and though a fall
In price quickly took place the East
India company still had to pay over
"a for the two pounds of tea which It
presented the king. However, even
thus it Is doubtful II the tea merchants
got very fat, seeing that the importa
ton of some 1000 pounds in 1878 w1s
enough to glut the market for some
years. London Chronicle.
