More startling to relate is the fact
that the tissues alive ana, seDarated
from the rest of the Anatomy do paw
attention. In other words, they devote
exclusive efforts TO one thing when .sev-

response. Like a dog with a bone or a

The states OF feeling. emotions. ap-
exhibited. A white blood gcorpuscie
shows hunger. fatigue, satiation,
sleepiness, pertinacity in pursuit Of
food. a capriciousness such as prefer
ence sometimes for beverages, at
carnivorous food.
Muscle. eye. tongue, heart ffbres and
blood corpuscles show both pleasure
and pain. Even the emotion Of fear
and self-defense is plainly visible un-
der the microscope. This is shown
experimentally by threatened influ-
ences, which do not injure or approach
these living particles. They are often
thrown into a state of fear
Foresight, anticipation, hope. and
prudence can be seen and studied in
the white blood corpuscle as it moves,
crawls or flows into the little folds of
itself called pseudo pods or false
feet. Obstacles and solid objects. not

"sized up" by these 'inner men,"
Can Learn Tricks.
AS for memory, this Is SO definitely
discernible that the behavior of the
structures. such as the white cor

in accord with the punishment and
reward 1t receives. Habit and memory
are easily shown. The influences nee
essary to make them make a certain
movement becomes easier and easier

Thus there is no difference between

himself. True enough. deep philo-

Take. for instance, a simple corn
starch which might be served In an un-
attractive mass from q single bowl.
How much more appetizing would be
the same dish II nodded in individual
portions. say, a little fluted tower,
which could be capped by a berry, leaf,
or garnish of some kind. Again, vege-
tables of which the palate has grown
weary, and which seem always to pre-
sent the same commonplace appearance,
can be rendered novel by being nodded
perhaps in aspic and turned out from
an attractive ring, or shelf form.
Children universally. are appealed to
by the eye and welcome pretty dishes.
Perhaps one reason they look 80 long
ingly at the sweets and foods In shops
Is due to the fact that commercial foods
are more attractive In appearance than
home foods. Many a little child has
been taught to eat an unliked food
solely bv having 1t served in more at
tractive form. A tower. fort. a castle,
or a fish. or plum Is so much more fun
to eat than just plain anything from a
saucer and spoon. you know, Perhaps
less food. but that more attractively
served would be a worth while sugges-
lon for summer time.

if it were not for the fact that for sew
