Cause of Seaslckness.

II has been established TO the salts
faction Of scientists who have made a
study OF 1t that seasickness is caused
by abrupt disturbances of the static
sense, whereby we are enabled to
maintain our proper position in space,
the location of which is in the ear.
These abrupt disturbances consist Of
violent oscillations of the fluid con-
tanned In the semicircular canals of
the ear. The fluid is banged against
one end OF the canals and then the
other by the irregular movements OF
the ship; the effect OF this Earring
and banging is telegraphed to the
brain and nervous system by delicate
nerve filaments and results In the
various obnoxious symptoms which
we group under the name OF seasick-
ness.

TIMEPIECE BUILT TO LAST
Masterpiece OF Colonial Ciocknaker

California Family

Like many a California resident. a
very rare example of the skill of the
colonial clockmakers made two jour
neys TO the Pacific coast before its
residence was permanently estab-
lished
Constructed by Samuel Terry in
Connecticut in 1874, The clock is one
Of the two earliest specimens Of his
work. Its mate is TO he found in

In 1914 the peregrinationS of the ven
cradle timepiece commenced when il
was taken from Connecticut TO Ohio.
there TO remain until 1870. when il
was taken to California. There il re-
manned for but two years. only to
start its journeyingS once more to
seek a New England home. One year
ago IL was taken again to San Fran
cisco by a member of the same fam
ily In whose possession IL has always
been.
The clock is inclOSed in a heavy
mahogany case OF simple design. with
a front inset Of brilliantly coIored
glass in an elaborate landscape de-
sign. The mechanism of the time
piece is made entirely of wood
AS the predominant note of a dis
tinctly interesting hallway. the clock
forms the nucleus of a collection of
colonial heirlOOms that are more than
passably observation-disclosures.
