Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, one G.:
the leaders of suffrage In New York,
said:
Jane Adams Is the most infuen-
tial woman in America. She is the
most influential woman because she
knows exactly what she is talking
about"
Mrs. Charles Henry Israels. widely
known as a sociological expert, also
gave the tribute to Miss Adams. She
said:
Jane Adams is the most infuen-
tial woman because of the feeling Of
trust In her which Is universal among
all who have come in contact with
her. There Is no living soul that does
not trust Jane Adams.
''The reason for this trust Is her
freedom from bias, her fearlessness of
evil, her courage for others, her SYM
pathy for all. There is no woman, not
alone In the United States but in the
world, who can boast the influence
which Is Jane Adams"

The Washington herald., 1913-10-12

A Frenchman not long ago succeeded in
walking along the bottom OF the River Seine
using bicycle pump to supply air through
a rubber tube. An American inventor has
taken the idea and produced a diving appa-
ratus worked in much the same way, but
claimed to be practicable for use in shallow
water.
The air is supplied from tire pump
through an expansion chamber, and passes
to the peculiar fixture held In the mouth
Of the diver. This looks like a suck held
between the teeth. with a watertight rub
ber flap as a lip all the way around. From
the center Of the stick wire springs pass up,
pressing two pads against opposite sides of
the nose to keep the water from entering the
nasal passages.
The fitment is thus alright about the mouth
and nose, aud the action OF the pump becomes
Ike that of pulmotors filing and ex-
hausting the lungs as the pump Is worked
The inventor has stayed under the water

A gas engine is an unmechanical machine,
for though 1t runs by heat it must have a
radiator to carry away heat. which, II one

stead Of being thrown away. In high speed
motors there seems to be no way as yet TO
get rid OF the heat except by water jackets
and radiators. In big powered gas engines

water is not atomized, but sent against the
wall Of the cylinder inside in drops, where it
spreads, heats to steam, and cools the metal.

Engines Of this type are running success
fully with no water jackets. The scheme will
not work in high speed motors on account
OF the time element o 7 the cooling in yolved.
A fortune awaits the man who can make a
gasoline or gas engine that uses all the heat
and does not waste in water cooling or any
type Of cooling, but turns every unit Of heat
into work.

IN this age it would seem to be a difficult
task to pick out which one Of the mechan-
ical wonders would be the most marvel
Gus. From the gigantic steam shovel dig
ging the Panama canal, down to the COM
pact adding machine, of inestimable use TO
accountants. we find many ingenious devices.
any one of which might claim the honor Of
being the most wonderful machine.
But there Is one machine which surpasses
them all. Indeed. it created them all. and
in the future will undoubtedly create many
far more wonderful machines. Its invention
is not recorded in the patent Offices. for 1t
existed long before these.
No one can do more than guess at the be-
ginning Of this wonderful machine. Its origin
is shrouded in the dim past. long before the
prehistoric era. The early arts of all the
earliest people bear its marks. 1t is recorded
in the pyramids, and even the sphinx speaks
plainly Of 1t. The beautiful sculptures and
the deep philosophy of the Greeks show its
high development. and the marvels of our
own day tell us that the most wonderful ma
chine Of all is that which created them
the human brain.
True. it is far more than a mere machine,
for there is a spirit which controls it and
directs its workings, but IT is only Of the
mechanical part that we would speak at
present.
To learn more Of the inner workings Of
that organ, which thinks and carries out
ideas, has long attracted the earnest study
OF scientists. 1t is, however, SO intricate, so
difficult TO approach, and so closely tangled
with spirit, that it has eluded the search
lights Of science. and still remains mystery
unsOlved.

The Great Puzzle.

Many ingenious and wonderful guesses have
been made. and some things found out about
the brain. 1t has been found that the brain
is divided into many departments, all under
the control Of the spirit. From their re-
spective centers go forth the nerves to the
eyes, ears. fingers, etc, and these nerves keep
the brain informed Of what is going on in
the world. Just consider for moment
that everything that any one knows, or
ever will know. on this earth has come and
will come. to them through the medium OF
their senses.
For example. let US consider the eye. We
have learned in our studies of physiology that
the eye is like camera; that the lens in
front focuses the image on the retina, which
is dense network Of tiny nerves, gath
cred together so as to form the optic nerve.
and this nerve goes back to the optical sec

Too Many Short Patrolmen.

An important physical problem that physi-
ologists are called upon to explain is the
fact that there are so many short men that
the st. Louis board Of police commissioners,
for instance, has been compelled to cut the
height of patrolmen from 8 feet inches to 5
feet inches. The fact has been noted not
only in this country but even among the old
and proud English. It has been shown by
DR.. Karl Pearson. the great eugenIst that
within the memory and measurement Of this
generation the average height OF the multi
tude-the mob as he unkindly calls us-has
decreased half an inch.

The ingenuity Of cosmetic surgery was
again illustrated the other day when the sur
geons on the staff of the Pasadena hospital.
Pasadena, Cal, reported to their medical So
cieties the results OF an operation upon Mrs
Mabel johnson of that city. 1t seems that
the sins Of another generation descended
upon Mrs. johnson, q society matron. who
was born without nose Her other accom-
plishments, however. were enough to neu-
tralize the effect OF her facial deformity, and
she easily outstr1pped more beautiful women
for social honors. The absence of a nose
meant little then.
Sooner or later a day comes to every one
when they wish to be at least as good look
ing as their enemies, so II came also TO Mrs
johnson. Then the Pasadena surgeons fell
to work. and the finger tip of her left little
finger was placed between her eyes and the
bone in it was transferred from this part Of
her hand to the bridgeNof where her nose
should have been. The skin flap was also
grated in a way to make nostrils. The little
finger was then securely knitted on her face
in order to insure a proper flow Of blood to
the artihciaAy designed nose.

Temporary Paralysis of Nerve.

In the same way. our theory supposes the
nerves to contain chemical, which are far
more unstable than gunpowder. so much
so that. in the example given, the nerves Of
the eye, ray of light is sufficient to change
the chemical nature of the compound at
the end of the nerve instantly. This COM
pound is also 50 sensitive that no two things
make the same change. The violence with
which each particle of the chemicals Of the
nerve changes causes the next one to also
explode" or change. and so on. through
out the length OF the nerve, so that the i'm
preston travels from the retina to the
brain
To counterbalance this breaking down na-
ture has provided process Of instantaneous
rebuilding, which restores each part Of the
nerve to its original state. Sometimes the
shocks Of the breaking down come in such
quick succession that the rebuilding process
fails to counterbalance and then there is a
temporary paralysis OF that nerve. An ex-
ample Of this is in being blinded by the light
of the sun.
The rapidity OF these changes will be un-
derstood if one will move the eyes quickly
from one view to another. Immediately the
one view vanishes and the image of
another one is imprinted on the brain. In

ceivable the nerve has carried this message
to the brain, by the chemicals faithfully
