Certain animals. like the wild
water hog. are vegetarlans. This
creature Is occasionally brought
north, and consumes quantities of
cabbage, spinach and grass while
travelling. But there is no rule of
thumb about anything. Young ami

watched. and if they are not doing
well the food is changed They are
carefully covered at night. They are
kept scrupulously clean. The cook

This is not mere theory-the best OF
the animal men actually do it.
Most of them have been brought
up in the business from childhood
and to get the collection to New

Nature has provided this disinfectant
for the struggle of the body against
decay in a manner to cause the mos,
learned of scientists to marvel.
Although women have always
been considered to be more emo
tional than men. few people realize
the true reason for this. and the
secret which has been hitherto con-
cealed for this state is now made
known.

owe the whole emotional side of our
soul life; our joys and sorrows. our
happiness and despair; our hours OF

wander through life disinterested and
passionless; Impressions from the
outer world would enrich our expe-
rience and increase our knowledge
but they could wake in us neither
joy nor anger and could not move
US to grief or fear"
And it is merely because Dame Ma
ture has bestowed upon the female
a greater ''vaso-motor affectability'
that her capacity for shedding tears
is larger than mans. Her veins and
arteries and Emphatic ducts are also
larger than mans in proportion tC

UTTow did you like the play 2"
"Oh. just loved it. my
dear. 1 enjoyed it thor
oughly: I wept the whole evening""
How often have women been heard
to make the above statement, and
how often have they been laughed
at for their seeming inconsistency.
And yet. they are merely speaking
the truth when they admit to the
fact that weeping-usually synony-
nous with grief-is often an enjoy
able affair.
DIR. Alexander Fleming of St.
Mary's Hospital. London. recently
announced to the Royal Society
some rather startling discoveries
upon the scientific significance of
woman's tears For some time. DIR.
Alexander has been engaged in ex-
perimenting with the '.pearly Drop
in his laboratory, and now as a re-
suit of the labor, hitherto unknown
facts. proving the teardrop to be one
of the most important components of
the female organism, have been re-
vealed.
Tears have always been consid-
cred essentially feminine charac-
teristic. 1t is decidedly beneath the
high level of manhood to shed them.

lows. and hence the literal washing
away of trouble.
Tears. idle tears; / know not what
they mean.
Tears from the depths of some divine
despair
That rises from the heart and gath
ers in the eye
sang Tennysons maid to the naughty
Princess. and millions of her sisters
have felt the same way.
Destroying Illusions is not the SAT-
est of occupations. and yet truth
compels the statement that, despite
the beauty of the sentiment. the gen.
tie flowing of these same idle tears
is only nature providing first aid
to her children.
The relief that women obtain from
these tears causes the prevention of
serious physical troubles which af-
fiict men as a result of pressure
within the blood vessels. Statistics
prove that apoplectic strokes are
about 25 per cent. less frequent in
women than in men. Also because
of this same saving grace women
are able to endure the greatest ner-
vous strains and live to a greater
age.
Among the other interesting facts
produced by the discovery of the
Royal Society is that suicide all over
the world is three to four times more
! frequent in men than in women. Be
cause of the simple source of relief
for her nervous system woman does
not give way to despair as quickly
as man.
Women who have become insane
recover from the affIiction much more
frequently than men. Some Eng
iish alienists have placed the recov-
cries at 25 per cent. higher. Cases
/ of general nervous prcstration. while
more prevalent among women. are
/ much more quickly cured: indeed
( complete recovery from a nervous
prostration case is practically un-
heard of among men. Because OF
mans lack of natural force to recu-
perate his nervous system breaks
under the attack. Also he seldom
recovers from melancholia for the
same reason.

Too Much Weeping Brings Disease

However. there is another side to
the question of woman's tears. A
special tendency to the disease of
the eyes called glaucoma. due to the
excessive pressure of fluids within
the eyeball, prevails among women.
This is due to an overabundance of
crying. and in addition to creating a
general damp atmosphere of un-
comfortableness about them. these
weeping sisters usually develop a
serious illness.
Sometimes In the presence of an
overwhelming sorrow women have
been known to remain dry eyed for
days. 1t is proved that in such cases
of fearless grief women often suffer
dangerous physical collapses. How
many times has one heard the state
ment ''if she would only cry she
would feel betterf" Unless the

Protects Eye Against Danger.

Other interesting points about the
substance are that it resisted the
effects of alcohol and is not readily
exhausted after it has done consid-
cradle work in destroying bacteria.
The primary function OF 'lyso-
lyme" in the tear is to protect and
disinfect the eyeball and the sur
rounding membrane. but it evidently
has many other duties. In the upper
and outer part of each eye between
the eyeball and the bone is the tear
gland. which distributes the precious
fluid drop by drop through fine ducts
To the upper part OF the sac formed
by the upper eyelid.
From this point the tear spreads
out over the front of the eye and is
run off through the minute lachry-
mai punctures to the throat. These
punctures can be seen on the mar
gin Of each eyelid. about one-fifth of
its length from the inner edge. From

Always a woman's Weapon.

For centuries the weeping of a
woman has moved mere man to COM
init acts which otherwise would not
have been attempted. The most un-
reasonable man in the world has at
one time or another fallen in the
dust before the onslaught of a
woman's tears. Since the golden
days of Eden's garden the daughters
of Eve have carefully cherished this
weapon as their excalibur in the war
of the sexes, and history has been
made by the shedding of a few drops
of water from the wise feminine
optic.
Crying is a female characteristic
which has done more than any other
to keep woman in her subordinate
position. The female Acknowledges,
unashamedly. that this habit is the
mainstay of her existence. Whatever
the cause, woman always feels bet
ter after she has wept. and although
up to the present this has been con-
sidered merely a charming idiosyn-
Grassy. the recent discoveries prove
that all the logic in the world lies
behind it.
The most important revelation is
the relief afforded to the nervous
system which under duress OF emo
ton becomes dangerously taxed by
pressure on the blood vessels. The
copious flow OF tears Immediately
removes this pressure. DIR. Fleming.
in his experiments, discovered that
an antiseptic substance called ~"iy-
SDzyme, proved TO be the most
important component in the tear.
and demonstrated what '1ysozyme"
could do against disease microbes.
He placed a teardrop in a tube and
gave it as a poison to a great many
million bacteria that clouded the
liquid in the test tube. Immediately
the tear destroyed every microbe-a
fact that was made plain to the eye
by the sudden thinning out of the
liquid in the tube.
He further stated that ''lysozyme'
existed in all the fluids of the body.
but to a more distinct and greater
degree in the teardrop. UP TO the
present the substance has not been
isolated. and it was only after six
months of investigation that Dr.
Fleming had been able to discover i,

and give results that at the moment
seem beyond explanation.
The explanation Of several Charac-

which are met with in daily operation
Is sure TO prove of great interest 10
the amateur. In cases where the ac-
tons of the tube are not understood
these peculiarities have sometimes
frightened people.
One instance of q newborn fans
fright was brought TO attention In a
letter of inquiry. The instrument had
just been set up and was being oper-
ated for the first time The tubes had
been firmly adjusted and were just at
the splitting point and--over they went
giving vent to the most unearthly
sounds. The embryo enthusiast who
looked upon the audion tube as an
electric light, thought 1t was going to
explode. He jumped away from the
instrument and out of the room, and
did not venture near 1t for several
hours, and then only after reaching

TIPS TO THE RAOIoIsT

Fired % caliber rifle shells
make good switch points for tun-
Ing coils and receiving trans
formers.
A single wire aerial 100 to
$50 feet long is sufficient for
local and long distance reception
of broadcasting stations.
Do not string aerials across
the street or across electric
wires. Keep antenna wires off
electric light and telephone
poles.
Stranded copper or solid cop
per wire should be used. Phos-
phor bronze wire If obtainable
IS stronger but not superior to
copper
Good contact with a piece Of
mineral like galena can be had
by wrapping it in tinfoi. OF
course, the top of the crystal
is left exposed.
The brass ends Of large car
fridge shells make splendid
crystal detector cups. They
should be cleaned out thoroughly
before they are used.
The winding of cardboard
tubes from oatmeal boxes may
be improved greatly If the tube
is first heated in an oven for
about 10 minutes to take out
the moisture and then wound:
or better still shellac il while
it is still warm and leave it
TO soak In.
In winding tuning coils with
bare wire a thread should be
wound on with the wire. This
will separate each turn. When
The coil is finished the thread
can be taken off. Shellac should
be applied Immediately When
the shellac is dry the copper
wire will hold Its place.
