1t is the movement or the altera-

these canals that informs us as to
our equilibrium. Through this sense
We are able TO coordinate our mus

The nerves from the semi-circular

the stomach comes to be affected.
Doctors who hold this ''endolymph''
theory prescribe bromides as a cure
for seasickness. Others who still be-

The sole record of the observance
Of the New Year by the Pilgrims in
the New World named New England
was most prosaic, most bref-"we
went to work betimes." Many Of the
good Puritan ministers thought the
celebration of the day savored of i'm
proper and unchristian reverence for
the heather god Janus. Yet these
English settlers came from land
where New Years Eve and New
Years Day were second in Importance
and in domestic observance only tc
Christmas.
No English holiday was of much
account that was not observed with
flowing bowl. On New Years Eve the
wassail bowl was filled with spiced
ale and drunk in families, and poorer
folk tied bowl with ribbons and
begged for money for ale to fill and
refill the bowl, singing:

American woman. whose disappear
ance has caused much anxiety to her

been found in Venice. according to a
dispatch to the Giornale d'Italia.
Mrs Mansfield arrived in Venice a
fortnight ago and took room at a
boarding house, which she left. The
police came upon her lying uncon-
scious in the street and removed her
to hospital. On regaining conscious
ness the woman said that she had
been overcome by illness and had

all night and left in the morning
The police say she told them, she
belonged to a wealthy New York fam
lily. and that the name of her hus-
band, from whom she was separated,
was William Mansfield.
Mrs. Mansfield left Salo. on Lake
Garda. about two weeks ago after
cashing an American check for $50 at
a bank. She said she was going to
Verona to buy paint brushes, but there
is no trace of her having stayed at
any hotel in Verona. Apparently she
went direct to Venice. tf
