that all spirituous liquors narcotize the nerves. which delay both in their func- tion of carrying impressions to the brain, and in their function of carrying volition from brain to the active senses. In par ticular alcohol dimnishes the speed with which eye visions are turned into brain impressions, and with which brain yoli- tion becomes action. The tongue is worst affected of all. ., is mistake to think that only drunken men lose the power to speak coherently. Quite temperate men, when they consume small quantities of alcohol and have a brain, as they imagine, clear and resolute, nevertheless lose some fraction of their ability to speak with speed and precision. When a combined test is made both for eye and tongue the result is marked. Rauchmann made a man read aloud as quickly as he could and used a photograph with q clock attachment to register his speed and accuracy. The exact time taken to read a page. and the proportion of blum ders. repetitions. hestations and ill-pro- nounced words were figsred up. The re- suit was that when reading aloud at a uniform speed, the subject, after he was given a liQueur glass of brandy, made 9 per cent extra blunders.

work done is recorded by a style on a revolving drum.
 Professor Kraepelin has been mak- ing hundreds of tests with single indi- viduals and with groups. giving them first no alcohol and afterward alcohol in various forms and different sized doses. He first took total abstainer and measured with the ergograph his muscular efficiency ten times a day for periods of weeks at a time. From the records was worked out the aver age index of muscular strength. Then, keeping the man to the food and rules of living, Kraepelin began to admin ister alcohol. After every meal a glass of Bordeaux wine was given, this be- ing alcohol In a supposed harmless state. The man immediately began to lose strength. The decline amounted in different individuals to between 7.6 and 8 per cent. Every man tested showed such a decline. The fact that the figure of decline was almost iden- tical in all cases shows that the bad effects of alcohol are not accidental or individual It shows that they come from invariab1e laws When Kraepelin finished his experiments with Germans he tried men of other races, living in other climatic conditions. The results were much the same
 Krepeltn was at first in doubt whether alcohol affects the brain as injuriously as it affects the muscle He has now proved that this is so. He tested the arithmetical capacity and speed of individuals with and without alcohol. He engaged number of ac- countants of different ages and stages of education and made them add up long rows of single figures.

 The guides who pilot visitors about in Norway said returned traveller, "are a pleasant, intelligent set of men, They speak our language fairly well, and are always anxious to pick up new words.

IWR-QXM D0T, lHOuSHl or Dldy. lu8l IS the conclusion of Germany's men of science. Touch 1t by all means if you want to slow up your muscles and put a brake on your over active brain. ,,Germany's best physiologists and psy- choloeists declare that alcohol as a stimulant is a fraud; that it does not help either physical or mental opera tions, but as a mere narcotic slows down and deranges the vital functions. The feeling of muscle workers and brain workers that drink has fresh ened them up is, say the psychologists land psychologists, a subjective delu- sion, the result of the fact that fool ish people have been spreading such notions for hundreds of years. In real ity even moderate doses of alcohol re- act injuriously on the labor machine which Is the combined body and brain.
 All this is proved by the experi- ments of Prof pr. Emil Kraepelin of Munich university. Professor Kraepelin is an unrivalled authority on the new science of ergonomy. that Is. the science of the human organism as work pro- ducer. His experiments are made with the aid of the ergograph. This is a raachine for measuring the body's la- Tor output. It was invented by Prof Angelo Mosso of Turin, and has been improved. In essentials 1t consists of . metal glove which holds rigtdly fixed all the hand except the middle finger, to which is tied g cord passing over . pulley ana holding . weight.

 about four cupfuls of claret the claret to be drunk in small quantities spread over the whole day The result was a steady decline in the speed of adding given the accountants did 3.1 per cent less work than on the former day. At the end of two weeks the amount of daily work had fallen by .15.3 per cent. Here Kraepelin cut off the claret sup ply. The accountants began to recover their old ability; and after four days complete abstention they could add at the same speed as when the test was begun
 Kraepelin's next experiments for mental work were made with printers compost tors This experiment was reliable. be- cause the compositors were bidden set the type from already Defnted pages; and perfect uniformity was secured. At the end of a week, during which they were given alcohol, the speed in setting type had declined 9.6 per cent. The closeness of this figure to the decline in the ef- ficiency of. accountants in addition work confirms Kraepelin's theory that alcohol injuriously affects the brain according to invariable laws.
 Alcohol drunk with meals Is not, says Kraepelin. as injurious as alcohol drunk between meals or late at night. Men who abstained from drink during the day but took stiff drinks when going to bed. lost next day P per cent of <ieir co-ordinat- ing power The time and the form of taking alcohol thus affect more or less the result. But Kraepelin has failed to find any way of administering alcohol which had not some bad results. The ability to reason quickly. the ability to

For fourteen hours a day and thir- teen bones a week he operated street ear in the grate city of Washington up and down Pennsylvania Avenew, putting into carts, oughtomobiles, pedestryans, states men, or our forrain relasions with equal imparsiallity. He was d fillosofer one would not suppose that he would find fillosofer in the moturnan trade enny moore tan he would expect to find his- torian in the plumming bizness, bue we can't always tell. My frend told me that he was getting along fine He sed that he had not been a moturman verry long, but on the hole he liked the profession. Be- fore he was a moturman he sed, he had little farm out in Maryland, on which he had raised corn, potatoes, hay and demmy- crats in rich profusion, but that it was awful hard work and theere was no ad- vantages.
 On Sundays, he sed, theere was no phase to go but to church, and in the week days,, aftur his days work was ovver and he had milked the cows and red the county paper, he had to go to bed in lf-defense. His wife and children had no associates, he sed, eXsept theere naybors who weer neerly all Baptists, while he was Presby- terian. So he desided that he would cum to town, and he was glad that he had dun so. He had no trubble, he sed, in getting a good easy job. All he had to do, was to get up a three o'clock evvery morning, in cluding Sunday, and ride up and down Pennsylvania Avenue until about { o'clock in the evvening. Aftur that he was off till the same time next morning, and could do exactly as he pleesed.
 l asked him if he newer longed for the green feelds; the smell of the hay; the peerly ripping streems, and the songs of the burds. He sed, no, that he had newer notsed it, if he had Besides that he sed it was against the company rules to drink enny thing.

ical climates, while some observers have reported devitalizing action of tho moons radiations on vegetable life, says the Lancet.
 There is even reported a death the cause of which was officially stated to be exposure to moonlight. Apparently the food most seriously affected by the moon s radiatons is fish, and seemingly trust worthy statements have been made as to the Ill effects produced in persons who had partaken of fish which had been freely exposed to moonlight E. q. Bry- ant, writing in recent number of the Chemical News from Port Elizabeth. south Africa, suggests that a possible explanation of these phenomena. assun- Ing them to be true. might lie in the well known fact that the light of the moon being reflected light. is more or less polarized. and possibly polarlzed light may exert a peculiar chemical action
 Subsequently, polarized light was ob- tained from powerful metallic filament lamp, the light being polarized lyy means Of pile of sheets of plate glass backed with silver and placed at the correct angle. The experiments showed certain marked results when fish was submitted to the polarized light obtained in this way, although it Is probable that stronger effects would be obtained with moro powerful source of light. When two slices cut from the same fish were hung, one in the direct light and the other in the polarized beam. the latter invaria bly, began to decompose before the former, though the temperature of the polarized beam was several degrees lowor than the direct light
 There were indica sions also In the oasa of other perishable food substances of st tendency to decompose when they were bombarded with polarized light The ques- tion is worth further investigation, and there should be little difficulty in pursuing
