the brain with consequent lessened supply
of blood to the brain.
Some persons have an excess Of fluid IN
the ventricles, some have a tendency to
anemia of the brain, some have both con-
ditions. These last will become sea sick
in spite OF every precaution and preven-
tive.
There is no known method to prevent
the accumulation Of liquid in the ventri-
cles; In fact, there is no way of telling IL
there is any fluid in the cavities except,
perhaps, by shaking person up and see-
ing what will happen. During the war the
Government had en- apparatus on exhibi-
ton IN Madison Square, with which they
tested the ability of applicants for the
aeroplane service to withstand dizziness
and sea sickness and to maintain equihb-
rum after being shaken up, tossed, rocked,
rolled, pitched and turned upside down.
A man who could stand the shaking aad
tossing of this apparatus could withstand
any pitching and tossing that he might
get on any kind Of vessel in any kind
of q storm.
The anemia and the shaking of the fluid
in the ventricles explain the hght-headed-
ness. dizziness and all-round sickly feeling.
but 1t does not explain the Nausea and
vomiting There is big nerve called the
vagus which goes from the brain to the
pharynx or back part of the throat, gullet,
heart, lungs and stomach. When there is
anemia Of the brain, especially cerebellar
anemia, this nerve Is irritated and the
ends in the stomach cause a number of
contractions Of the walls Of the stomach.
II the contractions are mild there will
be sense Of nausea, but If they are
strong there will be, in addition. von1it-
ing. If there is no food IN the stomach
the contractions win cause a vomiting SEN
sation, the dry retching that is worse than
vomiting. ve ~ f'
That ID the reason persons who are sub
JeCt 70 oo8 SfChne6S are ADVISED to eat
heartily an hour or two before going on
ship board and are urged to eat as soon
as the Qualms that Indicate the approach
of the dreaded disease are felt There are
number Of drugs that will allay the
nausea and vomiting, but most Of them act
by dulling the sensfbility of the stomach.
They act the same way as morphine does
IN a painful disease; relieving distress
ing symptom, but doing nothing to help
the diseased condition. Lying down will
relieve the anemia of the brain, and get
ting In the metacentre Of the vessel, the
centre Of buoyancy where the rolling and
pitching Is least will minimize the shak-
ing of the fluids in the ventricles. But
nothing will stop that shaking except an
even keel or firm footing on dry land.
In countries where earthquakes prevail
some persons are affected by one the
same way as on shipboard. Some get
all the symptoms OF sea sickness, others
remain unaffected. Knowing what we do
about sea sickness and It's cause, there Is
only one hope for the luckIess individual
who has too much liquid in the ventricts

sea is very rough and in the course OF
years on the water seem to outgrow their
sensitiveness, while to others seasickness
is horror beyond words to express.
1t is possible that recent scientific ex-
periments which are being carried on in
America and in England may pretty well
put an end to seasickness, at least on the
great ocean liners These experiments are
not being pursued for the purpose Of elimi-

incidentally, stabilize the motion Of the
ship so that seasckness, 1t is thought pos.
sible, may be eliminated.
1t is strange fact that some of the
greatest, most valuable appliances Of
peace had their inception in the necessi-
ties of war. Krupp's method Of hardening
steel, which gave the impetus to the. de-
velopment of the present hard nickel,
chromium, vanadium and manganese
steels, was first applied to, German guns
and war ships. The recent tremendous
advances in aerial navigation are due to
the late war.
Now, Elmer e. Sperry brings out his
gyrescope appliance to prevent the rock
ing and pitching of war ships, so that
they win furnish an even keel during gun

nearly twenty years ago in Germany, had

a figid' physical examination as well.
Those passing both of the examina-
tions. it was said, will likely be ap-
pointed in the near future.
Plan High School Cadet Bands.
Active steps to organize the pro-
posed High School Cadet bands will
be taken at conference at the
Franklin School tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock between school military
authorities and music teachers in the
high schools The music teachers. 1t
was said. will be instructed to select
cadets in their classes who are in
terested in music. These boys will
be urged to enlist In the bands.
