Seasickness does not sound like the sort of A1lment for which one might hope to find a serum. Nevertheless, Dr. POzerski, head of the Pasteur In stitute laboratory in Paris, has been looking for a serum for 1t, and actual ly believes he has found one. Obvf
 Ously, however 1t has been necessary for him to test 1t out on cases of actu- al nal -demer; and 1t has not been cOpvenient for him to embark his lab
 OratOry aboard ship in order to meet this requirement.. If we cant use a ship, we must have seasickness ma chine The animals on which pr. PO- zerski has experimented have been rid den about in the ~Air in the baskets on this machine which was carefully designed by M. JOuan, a prominent French engineer, to simulate the mo- tiOn of a ships deck. Judging from the doctors announced success in his Investigations, the machine must have been a success in its field.-Scientifc American.

The second annual consignment sale of the Connecticut HOlstein-Friesian association will be held at the Bridge port city farm on Saturday the 26th at D. m. standard time. Fifty head of cattle will be sold.
 Charter Oak park, Hartford, will take on the aspect of a tented city, Labor day week, because of the presence of Walter l.. Mains giant three-ring circus as the principal amusement feature of the COnnecti- cut fair
 Entries in all departments are un- usually large and the cattle show, bees and honey exhibit, fruits and flowers, vegetables, boys and girls clubs exhibits, sheep and swine, home garden exhibits, and all the other departments will prove ex- ceedingly attractive.
 For the grand Circuit races, held each year ill connection with the fair, purses of $37,OOO have been hung up for five days of racing. Each days card includes one or more feature races and the meeting promises to be one of the greatest ever held at the historic track. On Labor day the SOby Memorial purse will be the big event and the Char ter Oak $1O,OOO race for 2:11 trot- ters is on the card for Thursday. The Grand Circuit meeting will be held from Labor day to Friday in elusive.
 On Saturday, the last day of the fair, there will be a big automobile race meet, with some of the best drivers in the country entered. This is one of the new features of the fair

Windows on Modern snips.

A notable feature of the modern passenger ship is the change from the old restricted circular porthOle to the square type of window of generous pro- portions. says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The improvement is com parable to the change ashore from the old diamond pane to the balanced window sash. But, of course at sea the ordinary framed window sash will not stand the exposure to spray and rain. where Water-tightness is eSSen- tfal. without constant care and Atten- ton. For this reason frameless win dow has been devised which consists entirely of thick plate glass with well. smoothed edges They are used in all deckhOuses, charth0uaes, and on the bridge.

MOST BRAINS "LEFT. .AANDED'
Human Nervous and Molecular Systsnos Are Declared ts Work In "oP-
 poelte Harmony"

In the strictly limited sense in which we are rght-handed we are left brained.
 right hand 1t Is the left side of the brain that starts and controls the movements of that hand.
 But the thought and memory tn- vOlved are initiated from neither the right nor the left side of the brain: those higher centers" are not deh- nitely localized.
 But the "centers" for all the move ments Of the body are.
 Place your hand fiat over either ear in such a way that the tips of the fingers reach the summit of the scalp and it will cover, on either side, the area that governs the movements of the opposite half of the body.
 Direct experiment on animals and the results of disease in human beings have enabled doctors to construct a complete map of this motor area of the brain.
 When 8 man has a "strOke" and loses the use of his right arm and his right leg and the right side of the face we know exactly where the dam- age is-on the left side of the brain.
 And the outlook is less unfavOrable if the left half of the body is para lyzed, because speech is governed by a center in the left side of the brain.
 Most people are right-handed.
 They learn to use the right hand for writing and other purposes from child hood, and its muscles are more quick ly responsive to the brain.
 But the left hand has An equal ca pacity of development.
 AS well as being right-handed, we are also right-legged.
 If one were placed in a field blind folded and directed to walk in line straight ahead he would eventually re- turn to somewhere about the place he started from after describing wide circle towards the left.
 This has actually occurred to many who have set out to cross a wide stretch of fiat land in fog, and 1t Is due to the fact that the right leg habit ually takes a very slightly more pow erful step than the left.
 That is also the reason why the shoemaker tries 8 shoe. on your right foot for preference.-"A Doctor in the Continental Edition of the Lon don Mall,
