Why Dreams Come True.

There is u scientific explanation Of
the fact that illness. at least, can be
forctold in dreams. The theory is that
when 4 man is dreaming his mind Is
more sensitive than in his waking
hours, for the simple reason that his
actual surroundings are not engaging
any Of the minds attention. Thus it
happens that when some disease has
set in the man awake does not feel it
in its earliest stages, although the &C
tive mind in a sleeping body does feel
=. The sleeper dreams, let US say, that
he is suffering some complaint of the
leg, and two or three days later, the
disease having developed, he finds that
he really has got q bad attack Of rheu-
matism. Harvey, who discovered the
circulation Of the blood, records having
had a dream in which bee stung him
in his left thigh, OH place where 4
couple of days later appeared an ugly
ulcer. The ulcer must have been ue-

CURIOUS seientifie Prediction.

Every one is familiar with the story
often told of the great naturalist Gu
svier t. the effect that. given single
bone, he could reconstruct the animal
to which it belonged. That a some
what similar law OF organization runs
through the various species that form
families ia the animal world IS indi-
Gated by q quaint case Of scientific
prediction to which attention has again
lately been called. 1t appears that En-
renberg< when engaged In study Of
the minute animals called datoms
found that many species were distin-
guished by the number Of rays they
possessed: In the series Of specimens
that he had, however. he could find
none having, respectively, twenty-sev-

aty-seven, thitey-ntae, forty-one, forty
two, forty-four, fortysdve, forty'sfx,

would some day turn up. This pre-
diction has already been verified, for

YOUR SIXTH SENSE.
Tho Faculty That Enables You to Pre-

Tho Faculty That Enables You to Pre-
serve Your Equilibrium.
1t is almost 1000 to bet that you
don't know you have. sixth sense.
But you have. nevertheless. 1t is
known as the sense of equilibrium.
The sixth sense is located IN the
semicircular canals Of the inner ear,
and whenever person is in danger
Of falling or losing his equilibrium a
warning message is communicated to
the BRAIN For years physiologlsts
have been puzzled to know the func'
ton of these canals. because it was
proved definitely that they had nothing
to do wit, ne sense Of hearing or the
proper wor.>ing Of the auricuiar organ.
Thus they came to be considered as
semicircular tubes, almost at right an
giles to one another and full Of clear
liquid
Scientists have discovered that these
canals enable a person. to tell what po'
sition he is in no matter whether be 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 so very fa1
above the ground have lost paE OF
their sense Of equilibrium. E1am1
natons by physicians IN such instances
have shown that their semicircula;
glands were diseased. It was largely
by this means that the existence OF Q
sixth sense was diceFered-New York

Dogs That Resemble Bears.


1t has already been noted by sciea-
fists that certain mountain dogs have
shapes and assume attributes resenl-
bling those Of i bear. Among these
dogs the sheep dog Of the Pyrenees
bears q closer resemblance to the bear
than most others. Although he is sell
dom over twenty inches high, his bones
are very massive and his muscles ex-
ceptionally developed. His fur Is
thick. consisting Of long, fine, silky
hair. either black. dun colored or gray.
His head is large and the nose taper
ing, the eyes small. but sharp and
lustrous and his ears always "atten-
tive The toes and the base of the
feet are elongated and fat. The taii
is very short or even entirely missing.
and by his manner Of climbing the
abrupt mountain slopes he may easily
be mistaken for young bear.
