INSANITY AND THE "BLUES"
Detection Generally Due to a DIsor-
dersd Stomach or Liver, and
Not tho Brain.

1t Is announced that among the
minor forms OF mental disorder that
are to be studied at Johns Hopkins
university is that familiarly known az
"the blues" the New York World re-
marks. It Is argued that the dejec-
ton IL due to species Of insanity,
mild indeed at the beginning but liable
to become dangerous. As one author.
ity puts 1t, the disease is 80 slight AZ
not to be noticed except by those very
close to the sufferers. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the experimenters to make Il
the subject Of suggestive treatment"
We have here what has every ap-
pearance Of being another attempt to
account learnedly for something that
isn't 30. The detection known as 'the
blues" has its seat generally In the
stomach or In the liver rather than
in the brain. Suggestive treatment
by the ablest OF alienists or hypnotistS
or even Christian scientists would not
do the patient half so much good ~
dose OF calomel followed by sane
systom OF eating and living.
Furthermore, the man to whom sv-
Srything looks blue is not more crazy
than the man to whom everything
looks rosy. The victim Of blues doesn't
buy gold bricks or speculate with
trust funds or organize third parties.
why, then, accuse him Of insanity

EASY TO TEACH BLAcKBIRD

ory Strong.

The blackbird, which belongs to the
thrush family, has strong initiative
powers, and has even been taught to
speak. There is not much variety in
Its natural song, but its voice has Q
pure, fiute.like tone and full volume.
The bird is very susceptible Of being
trained, and when reared by hand
from the neat 10 capable of forming
strong attachments and makes Itself
great fayorite
When blackbird In six or eight
weeks old, his training should be be-
gun. Take him to quiet room away
from any other birds, and each night
and morning whistle the portion OF
the tune you wish him to learn, or
play It on the flute. Feed him before
you begin, and put fat. lively worm
where he can see II. After you have
whistled or played the air, say TWEEN
ty times, stop, 80 that the bird may
have an opportunity Of initiating II.
II he should make the attempt, give
him the worm at onoe, praising and
caressing him meanwhile. He Will
soon begin to sec why q reward was
given to him, and will not be slow In
trying to earn It. When once he has
learned the tune he will never forget
It, and It will pass into and become .
part Of his song.
After the blackbird has completed
his education, he should be plsced
near some other singing bird, whose
notes he would soon learn and blend
with his own.
Put his cage out Of doors whenever
the weather permits, and he viii tell
you how pleased you have made him.
But during the hot days Of summer,

Barfieud last November there were
picked up in the course of four nights
10000 birds Of all sorts, including
1900 woodcock. The lighthouse on
the Pointe de Penmarch, In Brittany,
has a revolving light of 10000, 900

veriber 10 last year, and again on the
18th, an observer saw tens of thous-
ands Of birds whirling round, and It
seemed to him that the light shot out
q aperfect hail OF electric sparks among
the migrants. Next morning he was
present while the dead bodies were
being collected. They are dispatched
every day to Paris by train, and the
"catch," he was told, often comprised
1000 to 1000 victims; ono morning
alone there had been more than 500

 The women, closely yelled and hood. ed and herded like so many cattle within an iron grill, take no part in the proceedings which so intimately affect their futures, their interests be- ing left in the hands of a voluble and gesticulative avocat. In each of the four sides of the great hall is an al. cove. and in each alcove, seated cross legged on a many cushioned divan, is a green rObed. gold turbaned cadi. To him the husband states his case, the wife through her avocat, putting in her defense-if she has any 1T.

His mothers interpositioD ultimately prevented the boys aVailing himselI or this appointment.
 Vernon's popularity was so great that his unlucky expedition does not seem to have affected 1t. as he was actually elected to parliament for three places on his return. Probably his known nos tility to the government had much 10 do with this. In l745 he was detailed to watch the North sea. in view of the movement of the pretender's adher- ents. The next year d serious squaO ble arose between him and the govern ment, resulting in his producing two pamphlets that so exasperated the au thorities that by the kings express command he was struck on the list O1 admiraIs.

THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.

 True to the Pole.
 'GTrue as the needle to the pole, like many another popular saying, conveys a distinctly erroneous impression. lp order to keep itself duly informed aH to the unfaithfulness of the needle h' the pole, or, technically, the variation of the compass from the true north: our government maintains division of terrestrial magnetism. .s~..;
 Not only does the magnetic needle vary at different places. but the varia. tion changes from year to year and even at different times in the day. On magnetic survey charts those places which at a particular time have the same amount of variation are connect ed by what is known as an isogonic, Or equal variation line. Through these points on the map in which there Is no variation of the needle from the true north a line known as the agonlc passes. ...'.
 Iron deposits and mountain ranges modify the action of the unknown causes of the periodical variation and cause these lines to become even more crooked than those which mark equal temperatures, known as 1sothermal lines.
 Isogonic charts may be accurate to- day and full of small errors in a few years. The famous Mason and Dixon's line between Pennsylvania and Mary land, which was surveyed in the years 1763 to 1767, was run by the stars and not by the needle, great piece o1 foresight in that day. If it had been surveyed by the compass in 1900 il would have shown a deviation in some places of two miles, and had the line been run by uncorrected compass a hundred years later. in 1900, the VariR
 ton would have reached nearly nine. teen miles to the south. and the rich coal fields of two Maryland counties would have been thrown into: Pepnsyl
