CELLS. IN THE HUMAN BODY.
How the Colonies Live, Thrive, In.
crease and Do Their Work.

Our bodies and the bodies of all
physical life are composed Of cells
Mans body is a great colony OF
cells, each cell having its own work
to do to keep the colony alive.
These body cells are among the
tiniest things in nature, being, OF
course, microscopic. They arc SO
minute that one can scarcely i'm
agine anything so tiny, and these
cells are made of protoplasm, which
is like the white OF an egg.
Bones, muscles, blood, nerves and
body tissue, all are made of just
such cells, and they increase their
numbers by dividing themselves.
When cells become too old to divide
any more they grow into the shape
they are to keep.
In all plants the sap is carried to
the different parts Of the plant by
passing on from cell to cell.
A muscle cell builds muscle, a
tissue cell tissue. Some cells make
blood; others carry it whore it is
needed, and others stll-the nerve
cells-help transmit sensations.
DR.. Nirchow stated that he be-
lieved t all disturbances of health
were due to some disturbances Of
the individual cells Of some particu-
lar organ.
If you should hurt your arm or
your foot it heals by new cells form
ing on the injured place and taking
the place of the old ones.
Now, protoplasm is a strange
thing, made Of four natural clc-
ments-oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen
and carbon. These are called dead
clements, and no one Of the four by
itself "a be alive, but when they
are all combined in the wonderful
form called protoplasm the combi-
nation is alive.
When our bodies die they separate
into these four same elements again.
The very lowest form Of life We
know at present is composed Of only
n cell. This animal is called the
amoeba, and it lives in water. slime
and mud. If you should put a bit Of
mud or slime on a dish and look at
it under d strong microscope YOU
would see a tiny moving mass that
resembles transparent jelly, and it
would be alive. 1t would move and
grow. And, again, if YOU should
scrape the green mold off the out
side of a %fowerpot and cover it with
water, keeping it always wet, in two
or three weeks Won might see amoe-
bas through a microscope. All bac-
terra grow like the amoeba by oivil-
ing themselves in two.-Pittsburgh

SLEEPING HORSES.
Shyness Of the Animals In the Natter
Of Lying Down.

All horses when turned out in
pasture are more prone to take their
rest lying down than when confined
in stable stalls, but eve when prac-
ticallv free from human restraint
and observation or any likelihood of
danger they seldom take more than
an hour each night in the rccum-
bent position, and that period is
generally INDUCED in at about mid
night.
A noted veterinarian says: "'There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition Of horses in the matter
Of lying down. To a hard working
horse repose is almost as much Of a
necessity as good food and water;
but, tired as he may be, he is an
animal very shy about lying down.
| have known instances where sta
blemen declared that the horses in
their charge had never been known
to take rest in that manner, but al
ways slept standing. In some Of
these instances the animals were
constantly under human watchful-
ness night and day, and in other
| cases the conclusions were arrived
at because no marks of the bedding
were ver found upon their coats.
[ now recall an instance of a horse
that stood in a stall near the en-
trance Of a livery stable. No one
ever saw that animal lying down
within a period of fifteen years, and
he finally died standing"
It is a theory-only a vague sup
position-that a horse sleeps stand
ing because he fears that insects
Or mice may creep up his nostrils.
1t is also known that the elephant
has the same horror Of mice and
that a small rodent can cause more
CONSERVATION among a herd Of those
colossal animals than can a tiger or
boa constructor. 4 mouse in the
hay at a circus will cause every ele-
rhant in the collection to hold his
trunk aloft, plainly indicating that
they fear the little creature may
take refuge in the probosis o%riice.
But to return to horses: It has
always been said that they "sleep
with n eye open" and are con-
stantly on guard. An Indian shod
in cotton felt moccasins, practicing
al the sly arts Of his people, could
not, with the wind in his favor, ap-
nroach a sleeping horse without be-
ing detected. No odds how weary
a horse may be, his ears are con-
stant]y turning and twisting, so that
their tunnels may catch the slight,
ast unusual noises.-Inland Farmer.

Back to King Alfred

Spinstcr is an Anglo-Saxon word.
The fleece which was taken home
by the Ang1o-Saxon farmer in sum-
mel was spun into clothing by the
females Of the family during the
winter. Alfred the Great in his
will called the female part Of the
family the ~pindlc side, and it was
IN axiom in old England that no
young woman was fit to be Il wife
till she had spun for herself a set
Of body, table and bed linen; hence
the maiden was termed a spinner or
apinstcr.-Iondon Chronicle.

horizon and to begin when the sun
reaches a similar point in the norm

When the line on which this posi-
ton is measured is shortest, then
the twilight Will be the shortest, and
vice versa. This causes the short

SOME OLD MONSTER GUNS.
A Curious'y Constructed Mortar Was
mad Meg Of Ghent."

The ancestors Of the monster
gums OF today were performing their
deadly work at least five centuries
AGO, says Die Welt der Technik.
The barrels of the carly guns were
made OF cast iron, wrapped with
:orgcu iron rings to strengthen
them. Later the guns were cast in
bronze.
One of the first mortars that as
tonished the world was "Mad Meg
Of Ghcnt," which was made in 1892.
THE gun is still preserved in Client.
It WAS made in two larts, which
screw together. The front part.
which is really the barrel, is COM
ooScd of thirty-two forged iron
trips, held together by forty-one
nln@s, like an ordinary hooped bar

'oublc that Of the greatest howitzer
II today, the ~ centimcter. The
Aamber held sixty Kilograms Of
powder and shot about $40 kilo-
Grams of stone, pieces Of iron and
lass. 1t is thought that Mad
Neg" had her christening in the
.lrge of Oudenarde.
Another famous gun was mount
ID at Edinburgh castle. That was
rot very successful. In the first
lace it was so heavy that it's weight
Yearly wrecked the bridge hat led
over the castle moat, and one of the
irst discharges from the gun lodged
| great piece of shot on the sides Of
he barrel, and it took forty-eight
hours to extract it. When they
inally succeeded in discharging the
run the shot went so high over the
nncmy's heads that it did NO dam
age. Eventually it was used for fir
ne salutes until one day the recoil
sank it 50 deep into the earth that
i was put out of commission. The
Old gun was finally melted up.
Fifty years later a Greek cannon
founder who worked for Sultan
Mohammed II. made a giant gun of
bronze that performed good service
n the siege of Byzantium in 1853.
Urban, who had his foundry at
Adrianople, took three months to
make the gun. 1t required sixty
oxen two months to draw the gun
to Byzantium. The calibcr was 60
ccntimeters. The gun ended its ex-
istence by bursting and killing its
maker.
Then came the gun Of Mohammed
H., which was cast in bronze by
Munir Air and later given as a
present to England by Sultan Alb
dul-Aziz and preserved in WOOL
wich. It was a 1915 caliber gun and
weighed $500 Kilograms (eight
tons).
The largest type Of mortar ever
made-and the least destructive
one. for it has never been fired
is tho "Zari Puschka' at Moscow.
1t is HIS ccntimctcrs calibcr and
vcigLs $4,000 Kilograms. 1t was
cast in bronze by Andreas Tscha-
chotf in 1556.
