ODD CAUSES OF INToxIcATIoN
Fruit and Vegetables Capable of Hav-
ing Disastrous Effect on the
Nervous System.

Those who cannot resist the tempta-
ton OF too many strawberries should
not be surprised if they are attacked
with fruit drunkenness" for it is
an extraordinary fact that the excess
i've eating of strawberries often re
suits in many of the sensations con-
nected with alcohol attacking the eat
er. These symptoms consist of gid
diness, headache, blurred sight and oc-
casionally double vision
For strawberries contain far more
acid than most of the other fruits in
season at the same time, and this
juice acts very quickly on the nervous
system, especially in the case of stout
and full-blooded people. Excessive
rhubarb eating can also produce symp-
toms of intoxication, owing to the
excess of oxalic acid which turks in
this fruit
But this is only one Of the many
ways in which symptoms Of drunken
ness can be developed, apart from ex-
cess of alcohol. 1t is quite possible
TO become temporarily intoxicated by
row, joy or music.
The explanation is that deep emo
ton deranges the nerve centers, which
are thrown out OF unison with each.
other,'so that such actions as walking
and talking become difficult An in
valid who lives on diet for come con-
siderable time, and then suddenly has
a huge meal, can quite easily get
symptoms of drunkenness on chop or
steak.
Strong coffee on an empty stomach
also produces results similar to alco-
hol, whilst the fumes OF turpentine
are very liable to render you light
headed. Recently six men were re-
duced To a rolling condition while
unloading cargo of this spirit from
barge at Bristol, England.

GETTING OUT OF THE WOODS
Simple Rules to Be Observed If One
Has the Misfortune to Stray
From the Camp.

1t you discover that you are lost in
the woods, sit down and think calmly
back over the road you have travelled,
trying to decide where the camp
should lie. Then. if you have your
compass, and it seems to agree with
your judgment, stick faithfully to that
direction. Even if you are wrong in
your decision, it is better to keep on
in one direction, because you may fall
in with some stream, and can follow
it to human habitation.
II you have no compass, the sun Is
an excellent guide during the day.
Should the sky be overcast, place the
point of your knife-blade on the nail
of your thumb; turn slowly until the
full shadow of the blade obscures the
nail, and you have discovered where
the sun is
You can discover the points of the
compass in other ways; by noticing
that the tops of the tall trees incline
to the north; that the leaves of trees
are generally closer on the south
side; that their branches are shorter
and more irregular on the north side.
To prevent getting into the circle
habit break off branches of the bushes
you pass. Start a fire. if your match
safe is with you-as it should be.
Remember that fire piles up with
damp wood makes a dense smoke,
and quickly attracts attention. Two
fires going at once, one a little re-
moved from the other, constitute q
well-known signal Of distress among
woodsmen. The firing of three shots
in succession at first, then a
pause, then the third shots another
recognized signal, if you happen to
have Woman's Home Compan-
ion

No Gar for Music"

DIR. Birman-Bera, after making a
study of the ears of famous musicians,
has come to the conclusion that the
construction Of that organ has little
to do With ones musical appreciation,
and that 1t is not necessary to have
even normal ear-drums to become a
finished musician.
DR.. Birman-Bera says that his obser-
vations have shown that composers
as class have erect, almost vertical
ear-drums, and that other musicians
other than composers have ear-drums
the position of which varies from the
slanting to the vertical, Including all
intermediate forms Whether DR.. Bir-
man-Bira's discovery will result in the
discarding of that handy and much
used phrase. AN ear for music" of

An air engine which will utilize ,he

those who are familiar with its prin-
ciples and have seen the practical
model in operation.
Mr.. Buck Is a genius, 1t is declared,
and although comparatively unknown,
has accomplished more really suo-
stantial results In the science of ;he
world than many Who have achieved
fame and fortune thereby.
Born I'm keokuk county, Iowa, IN
1876, young Buck was raised on the
farm and educated in the public
schools there. His love Of adventure
caused him at the age of eight zen
years to enlist. and he went through
many exciting experiences in the West
fighting Indians with Uncle sam
troopers on the plains. He joined the
regular army in 1871. During his ser'-
ice he was hurt. and now draws =
pension. with membership In the SOL
diers' Home.
Bucks experience has been varied. As
a railroad builder and electrician he has
been nearly around the globe. II IS saic.
He was present at Promontory Point
seventy-five miles west of Ogden. Utah.
when the golden spike was driven TO
unite the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads. and thus "spanned the conti-
nent." May 3, 1859. He has built tele-
graph lines on the Union Pacific rail-
road. the Rock Island Pacific, Southern
Pacific. Chicago, Burlington ana
Quincy. Missouri Pacific, the Cotton
Belt Line I'm Texas and the Florida
West Coast railroad.
He regrets not having worked for
Uncle" Henry Flagler on the Florida
East Coast railroad. He is a great ad-
u,irer of Mr.. Flagler and declares he Is
the man who has turned Florida into a
flower garden.
Mr.. Buck worked with the Westing-
house alternating electric system in st.
Louis and boasts of the fact that he
installed an electric system in Tony
Faust's saloon there. He installed an
electric plan In Alameda. Cal: San
Bernadino. Cal: and Oklahoma City.
He also introduced the first telephone
exchange at Pueblo. Col. and In Colo
RADIO Springs, thirty years ago. He has
worked in Valencia. Venezeula. For
two years he was with the Edison
