semi-circular tubes, almost at right angles to one another and full of a clear liquid.
 Scientists have discovered that these canals enable a person to tell what position he is in. no matter whether he is blind or paralyzed By some peculiar process not well understood they warn us when we are about to fall and give us the consciousness of being in any position assumed.
 Steeplejacks and other workers on high buildings who finally lose their nerve and are afraid to go very far above the ground have lost part of their sense of equilibrium. Ex- aminations by physicians in such instances have shown that their semi-circular glands were diseased. It was largely by this means that the existence of sixth sense was dis covered.

 It was divided into courses, as are our own meals but, whereas nowadays the dinner has general idea that fish will follow soup and that entree is succeeded by relieve, and can conceive generally the sort of demand that each course will make upon his appetite and digestion. there no possible arguing to what was going to happen at an early Eng fish dinner, and close study fails to reveal the existence of any principle of arrangement.

You Have a Sixth Sense.

\ T is almost 1000 to bet that you don't
 know you have sixth sense. But you E have nevertheless. The reason you never
 knew it is because it has only recently been discovered. It is known as the sense of equilibrium.
 The sixth sense is located in the semi-cir- cular canals of the inner ear, and whenever a person is in danger of falling, or losing his equilibrium. warning message is communi- cated to the brain For years physoogisfs have been puzzled to know the function of these canals, because it was proved definite ly that they had nothing to do with the sense of hearing, or the proper working of the auric- ular organ. Thus they come to be consi1- cred as superfuous. They consist of three

 A recent storm on the British coasts re- ceived the official designation of a storm of ' extreme force" A picture taken in Has tings harbor shows the concussion with which the waves struck the sea wall sending the spray apparently, higher than the buildings along the street.

 U thing will probably sheer at the state ment that there is such monster as
 sea serpent, but that doesn't alter the fact that there is.
 The testimony of the officers and crews of at least six different vessels is proof that such creatures exist because they have seen and able to describe them. In fact there is not shadow of doubt in regard to the existence of such monsters, if the story told by E. G. E. Meade-Waldo and NJ. G. Nicoll cen be believed. Both these men are fellows of the British Geological society, and at the time they saw the sea serpent they were stand ing on the deck of the Earl of Crawford's yacht yalhalla, which was coasting of Brazil Their attention first attracted by huge fin about six feet long sticking out cf the water. Presently head, shaped like turtles, and an eellike neck shot up in front of the fin. while behind the fin appeared t long dark shadow thrown up on the surface Sy body of considerable length and thick ness which lay below the surface.

 Such a storm when it sweeps over ship will sometimes carry away almost everything on deck Deck houses are often smashed and the life boats, are often stove in and ruined
 Various attempts have been made to devise motors to develop power from the force of the waves. The amount of energy wasted through their lack of success is beyond esti- mate. If the power of the sea could be used it would drive the machinery of an un- limited number of plants.

q \A/ out armor protection? Many naval
 " experts believe that they will. The
 protective power of armor plate has increased only 23 times in fifty years, where as the power of gun fire has increased in the same period eight times. The result is that armor the ship can carry is of sufficient thickness to stop the high power projecties.
 The question now agitating the naval con struetors is whether the efficiency of the fight ing ship will not be increased by doing away with the armor weight, which amounts to about 30 per cent of the displacement of the most recent vessels. This weight handi cap, which makes the war vessel "loggy in a seaway and perhaps dangerous, could be used in added gun and steam power.
 It is argued by the no-armor crowd that the best defense of the vessel is in its sown gun fire. If this can be made powerful enough the ship will need no other protec- tion for it will be able to demoralize the

~ Tex, upside down. It has become an issue in politics. Mayor Walker, who
 received the kiss Unaware, says it was inspired by his political enemies for the pur- pose of defeating him if possible, in his com ing race for reelection.
 The kiss was delivered in the Delhi opera house by, pretty young soubrette in the presence of crowded house. and it resulted in sensation the like of which Delhi has never seen. To make matters much worse Mayor Walkers wife was with him at the time.
 For years Delhi had stood against the furies of the clements broad, level range, where the festive tornado finds it's easiest prey. 1t had reared its proud turrets to the sky in de- fance to drought sand, and funnel shaped clouds It had escaped flood, and flame, and famine
 And then came along that little kiss and upset the town right away-just like that.
 The osculation stirred the Primrose reading class as Ebert Hubbard never did. The Atheneum club laid aside the classics for the more timely topic Shakspeares immortal dramas no longer form the theme of the Fri day Afternoon circle. The sorority girls think it just certainly awful. The deacons discuss the matter in hushed tones when they for gather The ministers avoid the topic Families are divided against themselves.
