BLOW AFFECTS THE NERVES
Sudden Shock to Brain Causes Sensa.
ton Known to Many Of Us az
"Seelng Stars"

Each Of the five senses has its spe-
cial set Of nerves through which SEN
sations are recorded in the brain.
With the exception Of the nerves of
touch, which extend to all parts of the
body, these perform special functions
for certain individual organs, the
nerves Of sight being connected with
the eyes, those Of smell with the nose,
those Of taste with the mouth, and
those of hearing with the ears.
Whenever the brain receives a sud
den shock, such as would follow a
blow on the head, the vision nerves
are disturbed In such a way as to pro-
duce the effect of seeing flashes of
light, or STARS"
The sensitive eye-nerves cannot be
Jared without producing this effect OF
light, while a severe blow will often
react in a similar manner on the
nerves Of hearing, thus leading the
person who is struck to imagine that
he is listening to unusual noises.

Do you resemble your father or

Men who resemble their mothers are
always more intelligent than men who
resemble their fathers, according to
William Windsor, psychologist.
IF man resembles his father, his

he is not as intelligent as one who re-
sembles his mother" said Mr.. Wind.

mother she becomes too effeminate ia

tunately, resemble their father"
Mr.. Windsor has examined more
than $4,000 heads in all parts OF the
North American continent.
"You see this SKULL" Mr.. Windsor
held up a specimen. "This was the
head of a negro beggar woman in New
Orleans. one can easily tell that she
lacked intelligence by the dimensions
of the skull. This skull. however, Che

The new political status of Egypt
carries with 1t certain provisos whose
exact limits are not yet defined, but
whose general character and scope are
known. The first provlso, however,
seems to insure the permanency Of the
Christian missionary work. Under the
new constitution all religions are free
and are protected by the state, In so
far as they do not interfere with pub
lie order or morals. All Egyptian citi
zens are declared equal before the law
and all are eligible for public offices
and honors.
This situation presents to all Of the
Christian missionary work In Egypt an
unusual opportunity. The Christian
educational work Is especially face TO
face with a challenge seldom equaled.
