TRICKS OF THE. BRAIN.
The Human Mind 10 Liable to Play
Curious Franks at Times.

The Human Mind 10 Liable to Play
Curious Franks at Times.
1t is hard to say what the human
mind may or may not do at times.
Here are two instances of curious
pranks played by mans brain:
A French sergeant who was
wounded in the head in the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 had abnormal
times, which lasted about thirty
hours, during which he smelled and
felt nothing, although his appetite
was normal. During these abnor-
NAL periods certain experiment.
were made with him, and one of
these was the writing of an unseen
letter, the writer's hand being hid
den by a special screen.
Ten sheets of paper were placed
under his hand, and he would COM
mence to write. As he wrote the
sheets would be removed one by
one until only the signature would
appear on the last. That is to say,
he would have written one page of
writing on ten sheets.
Then he would be asked to read
his letter from the last sheet, blank
with the exception of the signature.
This he would do without missing
a word, making corrections where
necessary and putting punctuation
marks exactly in the right place as
measured by the other sheets.
Then there is the case of a Scot
fish lawyer, who, having a perplex-
ing case in hand, was observed by
his wife to get up one night, go to
a writing desk in the bedroom, sit
down and write for a considerable
time. Having carefully folded his
document, he then opened his desk,
put it away and came back to bed.
Next morning he related a dream
to his wife, in the course of which
he had given an excellent expert
opinion on the cast at issue, no sin
gle point of which he could recall.
Judge of his surprise when his wife
led him to his desk, told him where
to look and directed him to his own
dream document, where he found
the whole matter clearly written out
and the whole case satisfactory

An Aniqator's Nest.

Al]igators' nests resemble hay
cocks more than anything else to
which they can be compared. They
average about four feet in height
and five feet in diameter and are
constructed of grasses and heritage.
First the mother gator deposits one
layer of eggs on a mortar-like floor
and, having covered this with a
stratum of mud and heritage about
eight inches thick, lays another set
of eggs upon that, and so Oh to the
top, there being commonly from
100 to 200 eggs in a nest. With
their tails the parents then beat
down the tall grass and weeds to
prevent the approach of unseen enc
mics. The female watches her eggs
until they are Matched by the heat
of the sun and then takes her brood
under her own care.

Star Velocity.

The velocity of a star seems to be
a factor of it's effective age. Unlike
ordinary human experience, the
speed of Il star increases with its
advancing years, and in the whirl Of
spheres above us it is the young
who cannot keep the pace. The av-
erage velocity Of stars ranges from
about six kilometers, or between
three and four miles, per second for
"young" stars to about thirty kilo-
meters per second for cold" ones.
But notable exceptions occur. At
Mount Wilson solar observatory of
the Carnegie institution some stars
have been found to move with We
locities of al, $50, 179, 1913, ZIG
and even 225 kilometers per second,
the highest speed yet known.

town depends upon causes deep seated
as the longings and aspirations of men.
causes beyond the reach of the preach

the co%mpanionship of their fellow men.

turn from the loneliness and desola-

veIOpment and extension of the tele-
phone. the reduction in selling cost of
autos and trucks and motor propelled

Improvement Of farm machinery and

About SHAVING.

Early records state that the prac.
tice of shaving originated in the
fact that the beard afforded too
good a hold for an enemy in battle.
This is the cause assigned for the
origin of shaving among the Greeks
about the time Of Alexander. In
other countries the practice was first
adopted by military men. Histo-
rians mention the alarm in which
some Roman cmperors lived because
of the fear that their BARRIERS might
cut their Threats. For the sake of
concealing a scar on his throat the
Emperor Hadrian wore a beard.
This fact brought the custom again
into fashion.

Cradles Hundreds Of Years Ago.

In manuscripts of the ninth and
tenth centuries we have pictures of
cradles formed of part Of a tree
trunk dug out, with holes bored
through the sides for the passage of
straps intended to tie the baby
down in it's bed. These dugout
cradles are still common in modern
Greece. When we come to consult
the manuscripts and bas-reliefs of
the fifteenth century we notice that
the cradles are no longer mere bas-
kets or beds on rockers, but little
swinging beds suspended between
two pillars.
