KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which eathes
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebrospinal fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cOrd-was not
understood But nowadays 1t Is
common practice among surgeons to
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or to draw out drop or
two OF 1t for examination.
The journal Of the American MedI-
cal Association. commenting on an adj
dress by Or. w. ID. Halliburton be
fore the Royal Society Of Medicine,
snys he describes the cerebrO-splnal
fluid as an Ideal physlologic solution
In which the exqusltely sensitive nery-
Gus system Is always bathed.
This fluid does not. like rhe lymph,
arise from the blood by exudatiOn of
serum through the walls Of the capll.
larlcs. but IL the product Of the Sc
GREETING cells OF what are called the
chOrOld plexuses in the ventricles Of
the brain. The pressure under which
the fluid always exists Is due to the
secretory pressure of these cells and
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteiEs found in IT.
Halliburton says that In order to keep
out the harmful protelns, which would
poison the nerves, tbs harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
In which the fluid Is found seem 10
permit substances to pass from IT TO
the blood, but to be impermcable Eek
cept for oxygen) In the direction from
the blood to the fluid The value OF
this arrangement Is that when poi
sons enter the blood. as they do so
easily, they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
Experience OF indian Woman Makes
That o. Robinson crusoe Appear
Mere Incident.

II would appear that Alexander Sci
kinks brief stay on Juan Fernandez
island was trivial, either In the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that Of a woman
on pn island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
II seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were once transport
ing the natives OF the island Of ST.
Nicholas 10 the mainland. Among
them was mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put bnck, but the captain refused
She then leaped into the sea 10 swim
ashore, but as n storm prevailed, NIL
on board thought she was drowned
Eighteen years afterward Il company
landed on the island. They found
traces Of life, and after long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe, but had managed TO
live In comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life in the
open, she could not endure the conflne-
ment of q house, and soon sickened
and died.

Oriental Statecraft

The part which gesture plays in ORR
entail drama Is set forth In recent
Hindu volume, which says that there
is a fitting gesture to represent every
emotion. The gesture, In fact, Is de-
scribed as deaf-and-dumb alphabet of
the soul. There are nine movements
Of the head, corresponding TO nine emo
tons, mentioned by one authority, "a
by another; % movements Of the sin
gle hands, and "a or 20 of the double
hands, etc; also 'hands" denoting an
imals, trees, oceans, and other things.
For example, certain position of the
hands denotes certain emperor,
caste, or planet. The translator says
rather naively that only cultivated
audience can appreciate Indian FAC
tOr'c art"

FILM SPREAD OVER WATER
Thin Sheet on Surface Has Properties
That Are Very Like Those OF
India Rubber.

It seems not to be generally under
stood that the surface of all water Is
covered by Il film of the water itself
which in its action is not unlike that
of a thin sheet of india rubber, says
Edward Bigelow, the scout naturalist,
in Boys Life. To comprehend this
one must imagine the rubber to be so
thin as to be transparent. The surface
of the water itself is elastic and under
tension, so that a needle, though heav-
Ter than the water, may be iloated on
the surface.
Several interesting experiments may
be made with the elasticity of this
film. One of the best Is to place two
slender splinters Of wood side by side
on the water. Now drop little alco-
hol between the splinters. This alco-
hol will Immediately break the surf
ace film between the splinters, and
the pulling force of the remaining film,
since there is nothing between them
to hold them, will cause the splinters
instantly to fly apart.
Another interesting experiment is to
white thin, slender splinter, pointed
ut one end somewhat like boat. Place
Il tiny bit Of gum camphor on the rear
Of this splinter and the gum will de-
stroy the surface film so that there
will be no pull in the rear. AS there
is a pull in the front not balanced by
one in the rear. the tiny boat viii run
forward as rapidly as the camphor
can dissolve the film in the rear.
Some interesting little magic"
tricks might be developed from these
experiments which would surprise
and instruct your friends.

0DIUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations as to Why the
Nine of Diamonds Is Called the
Curse Of Scotland.

While the nine spot of spades Is
looked upon as fatal and vlndlctive
card In the trying Of fortunes, it Is the
nine of diamonds that bears the Odium
of being called the curse of Scotland.
All writers agree on the card but a.
TO the cause of the stigma attached
to il there is a diversity of opinion
and it is difficult to decide which of
the many theories is correct. One the
Dry is that after the CullOden strug-
gle the duke of Cumberland picked
up n nine Of diamonds from the floor
and wrote on it an order for the death
of the insurgents. To clinch this ar
gunnent, it is declared that the identi-
cal card Is preserved at Slams castle,
Aberdccnshire. Another explanation
was that Scotch member of parlia-
ment, part of whose family arms was
the nine Of diamonds, once voted for a
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy
atty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been "A tyrunt and curse fur
nishes the key to the mystery. One
writer explains it by stating that the
last queen of Scotland taxed her sub
jccts heavily to pay for nine jewels
for her own adornment. The "last
queen Of Scotland" in her own right
was poor, pretty Marie Stuart, against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless accusations by her
bitter critics, and she might as well
bear the nine o. diamonds SANDER
