How MOTHERS TONGUE
Can Cure Her SICK BABY

EVERYONE has observed that mother cats
II dogs and other animals spend much time and
~A energy licking their young. The purpose of this
has just been discovered and the time it was
found that the human mother her baby's ills
in the way.
When grown person catches disease the body
speedily manufactures antioxins which neuralize the
posons given off by the germs of the disease. Babies
have not the ability TO form these antitoxins in their
blood and for that cannot throw off many all
ments which older person would speedily conquer
Natures scheme is evidently let the mother manu-.
facure the antitoxns the child and supply them with
milk The perpetual licking of the young is to insure
that the mother will be promptly infected with every
disease the baby catches Her catching the disease
means that body viii supply antitoxin
blood and the milk is only modified blood the body
gets the benefit without the strain of forming the anti
toxins itself.
1t is quite task for the body to manufacture enough
antitoxins such a small alment a cold.
The fever headache and loss Of appetite all results
not of the sickness ITSELF but of the unusual energy
thrown into the production of the antitoxn. The
mother make enough antitoxin her ana her
baby less damage to her health than it would cost
the baby to cure itself.
There is to believe that human mothers in
prehistoric times licked their children just as other
mammals do. When bathing with water became a Gus

How the Gulf Stream Makes Deserts

~ HE Gulf Stream, as every one knows, is a
broad river of warm water which starts
in the Gulf of Mexico, wanders across
the cold Atlantic Ocean and bumps into the
British Isles, giving them a warm climate and
no end OF fog and rain. But few people know
that in the atmosphere above there is a second
Gulf Stream of warm, moist air
This slow, damp breeze strikes the British
Isles and does not carrom off like the Gulf Stream,
but continues over Europe. As it passes over
Sweden, Finland and northern Russia, these
cold lands chill the wind and cause it to drop
its moisture in the form OF rain. The lakes and
rivers OF these northern countries are all sup
piled by the moisture taken up from the Gulf
Stream

Evolution has been so thoroughly substan-

Sir William Thompson many years ago held
that life was first brought to this planet from a
distant star BY some meteorite. Ills theory was
soon discountenanced. How could anything live
on the cold hard surface of shooting star
during the 60.000,000 year trip from the nearest
star? Even if could this life would be ended
when the meteorite plunged into the earth's
atmosphere. The white heat which causes
shooting star to fash across the sky would be
the most thorough sterilization imaginable

The rotation of the earth makes this wind
veer gradually to the southwark about the time
it has given up the last of its moisture and
warmth. AS a mighty draft of dry, cold air, the
Gulf Stream wind moves on across the plains of
Russia. AS it approaches the Equator, the wind
warns again, but becomes ever drier
At last, as 1t sweeps over Turkestan, Arabia
and Sahara, it eyaporates like a great sheet of
blotting paper all water il meets, forming the
deserts of Turkestan, Sahara and Arabia. For.
tunatey this devastating wind now leaves the
continent, becomes the trade winds and returns
to its starting point at the Gulf of Mexico
Several somewhat visionary schemes have
been suggested for altering The course of the
Gulf Stream One OF the immediate results of
any such changes would be the shifting of the
present deserts to other parts Of the world.

Modern Artificial Teeth.

Until aplittle more than a century
ago humanity had to rub along with
out false teeth, of which nowadays
one firm alone sells more than 12,00O,-
600 year. One Of the first success
full makers was Glussepangelo Fonzi,
an Italian dentist, who began practice
In Paris in 1888, and, thanks to his
skillful treatment of Lucien Bona
parte, soon made his way. After years
of experiment he discovered the sub
stance from which artificial teeth are
made and received the gold medal OF
the French Academy of Science. One
of the earliest persons fitted with
false teeth was the Empress of Russia.
After Waterloo Fonzi emigrated to
London and then to Madrid, where
Ferdinand VII rewarded him with a
yearly pension Of 1000 ducats for a
set Of false teeth.--London Echo.

Where the Farm Hand Baked.

Sam had worked on the farm for
nine years, and until his master took
to poultry farming he was quite sat
isfied with life.
But this poultry business was a bit
too much. He had to take the eggs as
they were laid and write the date on
them with an indelible pencil And
worse than that, he had also to write
on the eggs the breed of the hen that
laid them.
So one day he marched up to the
farmer.
"Tm about fed up" he said, "and
I'm going to leave!"
The farmer was astonished.
Surely, SAM" said he, "you are not
going to leave me after all these
years?"
"Yes. but l am" retorted Sam. "I've
done every kind of rotten job on this
here farm, but I'd rather starve than
go on being secretary of your old
hens" London.
