History of Anatomy,

The way in which We are so fear
fully and wonderfully made" was
largely mystery to the ancients. 1t
may be said that anatomical science
was practically unknown prior to Aris-
totle, 1884 3. G. Before that date near
ly all that was known of anatomy was
derived from the dissection of the low
err animals. Aristotle did something
In the way of science, but 1t was not
until the time of the famous Alexan-
drian school, century before and a
century after the birth of Christ. that
the anatomy Of man began to be fairly
understood. The Ptolemies were great
patrons Of science and were the first
who enabled physicians freely to dis
sect the human body. ."..... g.

Byron a Dainty Eater.

Byron was an exception to the rule
that authorship and hearty feeding go
together, for the poet had morbid
dread Of getting stout and exercised
self restraint enough not to grow fat,
In 1918, in the exercise of this self re-
straint he lived on six biscuits day
and no drink but tea, fasting on occa-
sions for forty-eight hours. Three
years later he tried one thin slice Of
bread for breakfast and vegetable
dinner and kept down his hunger in
between by chewing tobacco. And,
though this semistarvation may have
been bad In the long run, visitor at
the time could only observe that no
man had brighter eyes or a clearer
voice.-London Chronicle. a..

SURROUNDING AN ARMY.
Turning the Enemy's FIanks and Roll
ing Up the Entire Line.

ing Up the Entire Line.
Those not familiar with military tao
tics have very vague idea as to how
I'm army is surrounded. 1t is generally
believed that commander who
schemes to encircle his enemy with an
impehetrable ring Of guns and men
must conceive some method of maneu-
vering his troops round to the rear of
his opponents army. 1t is possible,
however. for general well versed In
field tactics to cleverly roll up" large
body Of troops by frontal attack alone
This is accomplished by means Of flank
ing movements.
For purposes of example let us mag
inc two armies facing one another
drawn up In two long lines. Behind
one of the battle lines a body Of re-
serve troops stealthily make their way
over to the right. Their purpose is to
make sudden onslaught on one end of
the enemy's line. At exactly the right
moment, when the artillery fire is at its
fercest, the reserve troops violently at

left Of the enemy's front. The attack
ing force. owing to its overwhelming
numbers. bends back the end of the
assaulted army. 1T refuses its right"
as military men say.
At the opposite end of the line a SINH
lar attack Is launched, which has the
effect of forcing back the enemy's
right. An army which refuses" al
most at the same time its left" and
fright" wings is doomed. Unless a
very speedy retreat is carried out the
whole force is 'rolled up" as both its
TANKS are forced back.
As the right and left TANKS Of the
enemy give ground the attacking
troops slowly force their way to the
rear of the assailed army, closing in
the while. The result is that within a
few hours the defeated force is entirely
surrounded, although in the first in
stance it was attacked from it's front
alone.-Pearson's Weekly.

Two religious sects who hated one
another bitterly were found by Sven
Hedln in Tibet. Searching for the
cause of this aversion, he found that
one Of the sects believed that the
prayer wheel should turn to the right,
while the other was convinced that the
wheel should turn to the left.
In the region of the Bramaputra he
found a mountain which is so sacred
that whoever walks around 1t thirteen
times has all" his sins forgiven. The
result of this belief Is that criminals
from far and near infest this region.
When Sven Hedin started to ride
around this mountain on his horse the
pilgrims informed him that that would
do him no good.
