Lecturer Puts Scientists and Detec.
tiVes. in One CIass-Uses Harvey
as an Illustration.

The analogy between the working
of pumps for motor-engines and those
which keep the human heart beating
was the subject of a lecture by
Scottish doctor. Living Pumps" was
its title. He traced the steps which
led to Harvey's great discovery of the
secret of circulation, and by the help
of ingenious models he showed how
the blood flowed through the stomach,
the liver, and the heart, and went to
the nourishing of the limbs. Laying
bare the heart of "Jack the Giant
liller"-a model, he explained the
marvellous self-regulating mechanism
by which it supplies the muscular en-
gines of the body with combustion"
mixture and the rest of the tissues
with sustenance. Fabricus, Harvey's
teacher, had discovered what were
called the pockets" in the veins
through which he supposed the blood
passed towards the heart. Harvey's
achievement lay in proving that the
pockets opened and closed on the valve
principle. Harvey was a Sherlock
Holiness" said the professor; "he saw
these curious valves and wanted to
explain them. There is no difference
between detectives and scientists, for
detective is scientist and sciea-
tist is a detective"

Historic Yale Building.

An item in the New Haven Register
opens an Interesting field of research
to Yale men who are proud Of the his
tory of their college, inasmuch as it
indicates that one of the buildings Is
undoubtedly the oldest structure in
North America. 1t appears that fire
was discovered in Connecticut hall one
day and was extinguished without
much difficulty. In telling of it, the
Register concludes its remarks as fol-
lows: Connecticut hall is the oldest
building owned by the university. 1t
was erected in 1850, and taken over
by the college when that institution
was founded here. One can imagine
with what emotions Davenport, Eaton,
ct al. must have gazed upon that struc-
ture, then almost century old, when
they landed on the shores of the new
world"
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-04-20

The men who had expended their
sandoagS and could get no more, in
one nnal effort ran to the pa1isade, dug
their heels madly in the wet, Shiny
earth and put their shoulders against
the bending stakes as if to hold them
up by main strength. Thin streams
were flowing here and there, now IN
needed. Checked and held in one SPOT.
the water broke through at another.
The spillway could not control the
rise.
"She's gone, she's gone" gasped
VandeFenter under his breath. He mad
fought good fight. He could do no
more. There were no more bags of
sand. Save for the meh straining at
the wall here and there and every
where, there was left nothing but to
stand and wait, having done all. AS
one man saw another the whole hun
dred and fifty caught the contagion
and threw themselves against the pail
SADIE, wet and chilled from the rain,
but yet madly, recklessly, Americans
and foreigners alike. They would hold
it by main strength for another min
ute, they sWOre, obliviouS to the fact
that just as soon as it went it would
go with a rush.
The stOckade would be swept away
first, and they would go with it. What
of that? The men back of it matched
their brawny arms against rain and
wind, the powers of man against the
powers of God, but not mockingly. 1t
is perhaps doubtful if they realized
what they did. 1t was instinct, habit.
blind desperation now. If the flimsy
wall failed under the terrific water
pressure, they would be hurled beneath
it, swept down the slope of the dam,
buried in the debris as it was swept
away, caught up if they by any chance
survived so far, and hurled, broken and
battered, down the valley in the ter
rible flood that would ensue. What
did they know about that, or knowing,
what did. they care, as they strained
at the wavering timber wall? And
still they held as the rain poured down
on them, soaking through their soggy
clothes, the colder on their exhausted
bodies for the keen wind that blew
across them.
Well, theyahad done everything they
could. Vandeventer jumped down an6
pressed himself against the nearest
timber with the men and waited, silent
He had never sustained such a pres
sure in all his life. Like Atlas. he
felt as if he were holding up a world
And the mocking thing about it al
was his feeling, nay his realization
that he was not really holding any
thing, that if the palisades failed, hi!
pressure, his resistance and that of al
the other men amounted to nothing
Yet he held on, and they, too-demi
gods.

American Girls Good Work.

Miss Winifred Holt of New York
city, founder of the New York AssO-
citation for the Blind, who has been in
England and France almost continu-
ously since the outbreak of the war,
and has done such notable work for
the blind soldiers there, is in the
United States on a short visit in the
interest of her work. Already more
than 600 solditrs blinded in the war,
many of them minus an arm or a leg
as well-have been cared for, nursed
back to health and courage and trans
ferred into industrious, self-support-
ing and hopeful men again at the in
stitution in Paris, called the Light
house, conducted by Miss Holt for the
relief of the war-blind. The aim of
the work is to re-educate the men, with
the handicap Of blindness upon them,
in some line of work they may be
able to do in spite of it. During her
sojourn in America, the work of the
Lighthouse is in the hands of Miss
Esther Cleveland, daughter of the late
president, and of Miss Bernardette
Grant, granddaughter of President
Grant, who have been for many months
Miss Hollis most valued helpers.

GLOW IS MOST ANCIENT TOOL DO WORK ALONG SAME LINE
Has Been Used by Man Since He First
Attempted to Make the Earth
His Servant

Three very ancient implements have
been used :. in human industry-the
pIow, the sword and the pen. Of the
three, the oldest is the plow. A his
tory of the development of this ag-
ricuItural tool would take US back
through centuries to the time when
man began to subdue the earth and
make it his servant. Thousands OF
plow models are now to be seen in the
patent Office at Washington. These
tell US what has been done by invent
ors in recent years, but there is long
story back of these pIows.
From his study of a Babylon brick.
in the museum of the University of
Pennsylvania, Doctor Clay concluded
that he had found true picture of
the first plow, which was invented by
Abraham. For his proof that Abra-
ham was the inventor of the plow,
Doctor Clay refers us to the Book of
Jubilees," which was published in the
second century B. c. This book says
that the Babylonians were punished
because they had yielded to satan,
and that the form OF their punishment
was that the ravens came and ate up
he grain they had sowed in the fields.
lbraham devised an instrument that
should SOW the seed in a furrow, in
order that it might be covered up so
that the birds of the air could not eat
it. The apparatus shown on the an
cient brick is a sort of combination
plow, planter and harrow. 1t required
three men to operate it. When the
people sowed according to Abraham's
commands, they feared neither the ra-
vens nor the birds. Whatever the
value of the story in the Book OF
Jubilees," the brick, at least, gives a
picture of perhaps the most ancient
tool used by man.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh physiC into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.
