The Human Gyroseope.

When you are dizzy things appear
to 60 round in a circle. However, the
fault is not with the eyes but, in or
near the ear-an organ which ap-
parently has nothing to do with sight
or feeling. Close to the ear is located
the little organ which gives US our
power Of balance, permits US to walk
upright without totterlng, and, when
properly trained, to assume postures
which are distinctly outside the regu-
lar routine Of our daily lives. Eccen.
TIC dancers, acrobats, athletes and
others have unconsciously trained this
''balance wheel" until they can do
strange things without, as we say, los
ing their balance. When we spin
around rapidly, this delicate mechan-
ism is disturbed or thrown slightly out
Of gear, causing the eyes to move In
dependently of each other and to send
different impressions to the brain.
This causes the spinning effect we call
dizziness.

MEDICINE MAN NOT A FAKER
According to English Scientist, He
Deals In the Occult, and With
Hiah Moral Intent.


The medicine man, as known to the
anc1ents and to the aborigines Of
America, Africa and other lands, was
no faker or humbug or quack, accord
ing to DR.. Marrett Of the University
of Oxford (England). In a book on
Psychology and Folklore he describes
the Australian bushman's nominations
to drive out of mans head the crys-
tai that has caused his disease, after
which he produces in his hand piece
of crystal, apparently out Of the SUI
ferer's head.
Neither he nor the patient nor the
patients friends is deceived; they
all know that he has had the crystal
in his hand or up his sleeve all the
time, and that he has been acting
Enthusiastically or symbolically through
out the incarnation. The crystal is
a symbol Of the mischief within the
head. What the medicine man really
does Is to set the good magic influence
or mama" within himself to combat
the bad mama" affecting his patient.
He, in fact, deals in the occult, but he
does so with high moral intent, and
has attained to the power Of 50 deal
ing only after severe training, involv-
ing fasting, isolation and all the other
miseries Of special initiation.

clrcuitinq the Earth.

A person making a circuit Of the
earth will lose one day by going west
ward, and gain day by going east
ward. In going eastward the sun is
met before complete rotation Of the
earth has been made. Thus the
period from noon until the sun is
again met in the meridian is shorter
than from noon to noon In one
locality. Going westward requires
little more than twenty-four hours for
the sun ito catch up," so that from
noon to noon by sun observation
covers a period Of more than twenty
four hours. In order 70 keep dates
right, a day is dropped out Of reckon
ing by vessels sailing eastward when
crossing the one hundred and eight
ieth meridian-that is, they live the
same day twice; and a day is added
when they cross the same meridian
going westward-for instance, arTiv-
ing at the one hundred and eightieth
meridian, Saturday Immediately be-
Comes noon Sunday.

Psychology Of Laughter.

In the psychology Of laughter one
traces the development of humor
through its many stages, showing the
close relation between the appreci-
alton Of the tribe and the enjoyment
Of the nursery. Children laugh some
what in the manner Of savages, not
being able, because Of: their limited
experience, to see the subtle shades Of
q Joke that are only discernfble in a
high type Of mental development.
,Swift's "GuIIiver's Travels has much
satire in it which the girl and boy
luckily cannot fathom; 1t takes a
sophisticated mind tc understand it.
But the adventures among the Lf1li-
putians and BrObdingnagians are class
les in the nursery. SO 1t is in the larg-
or aspects Of laughter. The crowds
will respond to coarser type Of hui
NOR than the MISUNDERSTANDING.

Flute hiohIy Esteemed.

Among the ancient Greeks, flute
playing was looked upon as the fash
.ionable pastime Of the elite, and, con-
sequently, the instrument was consid-
erably improved by various players
from time to time; and flutes Of the
most careful and delicate workman
ship have been discovered and prove
this to have been the case.
From Greece, the instrument ap-
pears to have been adopted by the
Romans who, indeed, borrowed all
that was beautiful In Greek, art; and
we learn from Tacftus that even the
Emperor Nero himself, d I'D not dis
dain the drudgery Of practice. With
Roman conquests came also the, adop-
ton Of Roman manners and art.
Hence the instrument spread through
out: the civilized world and its use be-
came common.

Remarkable Even for Collie.

Many are the stories told Of collieS
sagacity, one Of the most remarkable
being the record of one shepherd In
Ettrlck, Scotland. What was once the
great forest of Ettrtck was this night
only dense sea Of mist and fog. The
shepherd IN despair exclaimed to his
dog, "Sirrah, my man, they're a away !"
He gave no command to the dog, in
fact he only spoke for sympathy. But
the sheep dog dashed of into the mist,
and the next morning the 500 missing
sheep were gathered In and Sirrah
was mounting guard over them. How
the animal got them In the dark was
beyond the comprehension Of the shep-
herd, and he adds: If all the shep-
herds in the forest had been there they
could not have effected 1t with greater
propriety."

% caIculable, and He Performs
Other Services.

Let those who will growl when

Jack Frost comes as friend, and not
always In disguise, either.
His influence on soil is wonderful,
says London Tit-Bits. Besides reduc-
Ing it to q much finer state of ttllage
than can be produced by any imple-
ments known to man, 1t improves its
fertility and adds to It's quantity.
The highest counts Of bacteria In
s0il-and there may be 1OO,UOO.OOO in
q grain-have been obtained In hard
winters, and it is during such seasons
that the disintegration Of rock which
produces fresh particles Of soil goes
on most rapidly. ...-
As water passes from the liquid to
the solid state It's expansive power Is
about $50 tons to square foot, which
Is equal to the weight Of column Of
rock about one-third Of mile in
height. Then comes the thaw, and az
the water contracts away crumbles the
surface Of the rock, to go to make
the soil from which we draw our sus-
tenance. - - p ea ..s=s:.r
Out, in the Cotswolds, when winter
is coming on, they turn blocks Of stone
grain upwards, so that the rain shall
soak into the layers. A thaw succeeds
q frost, and then the blocks are tapped
with a. hammer, whereupon. they fall
into fakes, ready, after little TRIM
ming for roofing houses.
So, too, you may see the skaters
working at Collyweston, near SIAM
ford. When there Is likelihood of
frost, the men dash water on the edges
of the masses of slate which have been
brought up from the pits or quarrtes.
II there are two fr0sts In rapid sue

all is well, as the slate splits into lay
ers. But spell Of mild weather
means that the material becomes use
less for anything except conversion
