Shark That Swan in Kansas Sea.

Agassizodus variabilis shark from
Kansas, will soon have his once wicked
teeth brought to foodless rest in the
Natioisll museum. Or. George p. Mer-
rill, curator of geology, has received
as Il gift from DR.. Frank Springer the
archaeological collections of the late
Orestes St. John which contained the
fossil remains Of this unique fish,
which chased its prey through Kan
sas sea many million years ago.
The cartilaginous body of the shark
dlsntegrated, but II complete set of
teeth, such as has never been found
elsewhere, remained in the coal meas
ures of Kansas to tell his story. Doc
tor st. John gave the name Agassizo-
dus to his find in honor of the famous
Harvard naturalist, Louis Agasslz,
who was his teacher.

SPIDER NOT REALLY INSECT
Fundamental Difference Which Has
Been Recognized by Those Who
Have Studied the Subject.

Spiders and their near relatives, the
scorpions, are much more closely re-
lated to Holsters than they are to true
insects. Spiders and insects are both
small, both have a number of legs,
and both appear superficially alike.
The differences between them, how
ever, are of major sort.
First, as you will see If you examine
one, a spider has no head. All real
insects have heads. Herein lies most
fundamental difference. A spiders
face comes directly to the thorax, like
that of crawfsh. Every insect has
eyes, both compound and simple. The
compound ewes are usually large, oc-
cupylng half or more of the ert.fe
head Between them, in what would
be the middle of the forehead, are
three simple eyes. Spiders have eight
lin some species only six) simple
eyes. Each one is fixed and can see
In one direction only. Some look for
ward; some sideways, and some up
ward, so that spiders are not blind

mon occurrence for the school child
to wish to carry milk to drink at re-

REST FOR Brain
Proper Periods for Sleeping Are
Imperative.
No Substitute for "Nature's Sweet
Restorer" Has Been Found, or Is
Likely to Be.
An American doctor has been trying

An American doctor has been trying
to find a substitute for sleep.
He has calculated that we spend
about one-third of our lives in more
or less complete Inconsistencies and
that the average man of fifty-one has
been asleep for seventeen years, says
a specialist in an article in the Cen
tral China Post.
The idea is that this is great
waste of life, and that if one could
take a pill, or n dose of medicine in
stead of going to bed he would really
have added many years to his allotted
span.
But the research for such substi-
tute failed, utterly and hopelessly.
There is no substitute for sleep. Not
one of the limitations is even NEARLY
as good"
1t was only when the brain itself
came to be studied that the real
meaning of sleep was found. The
brain contains vast numbers of cells,
each of which is related to some part
of the body, just as an electric switch
is related to some lamp or bell. The
whole power and strength Of the body
depend on the brain cells.
Up till short time ago we knew
very little about these strange struc-
lures. We were able to look at them
with microscope, and we could stain
them with various dyes so that they
showed up quite clearly against the
rest Of the brain matter.
And then one doctor, more observant
than his fellows. noticed strange
thing. Sometimes the brain cells did
not stain so well or so darkly as at
other times. The little, vital cells
were pale and indistinct instead of
being clear and dark.
A great many people began to try
TO find out what this mystery sub
stance of the brain was. All kinds of
strange experiments were carried out.
For example, if the brain of n hare
which had been coursed was ex
amined, the brain cells were empty of
the mystery substance. The brain
cells stained poorly and indistinctly.
The brains of men worn out in bat
tie. or killed in condition Of great
strain, were also empty. And If man
had had no sleep for long periods, his
supply of mystery substance was very
low.
Gradually the knowledge came that
during all efforts, both of mind and
body, we use up this strange substance
until at last our brain cells are empty
of it. And then we can do no more.
Unless we can get new supply we
perish.
1t is sleep which brings the new
supply. 1t is sleep which fills the
brain cells afresh with their vital mys-
terry substance. 1t is sleep which saves
us from utter exhaustion, and even
from death. BY no other means can
we make our brains fit to work again

RARE EAGLE IN LONDON zoo
New Arrival Has Easy Time OF 1t, -
He Can Forget He ls
Prisoner. -.


"Tim," large white-tailed sea eagle
from Mesopotamia, presented by Sir
Percy Cox, has just arrived at the
ZOO and is vying with the sea lions in
the profitable pastime of catching tsb
thrown by the keeper.
Though the newcomer is the sole
representative of his species in the
garden the white-taifed sea eagle was,
at one ne, fairly common in England
ms far south as the Lake district.
Now it is verging on extinction in
these islands, there being only few
pairs left, which nest on the inacces-
sible cliffs of the west of Scotland and
Ireland
To look at this feathered giant of
the air, you would think him particu-
larly fierce and unapproachable, but
"T'ims" appearance is deceptive, for
he is really quite tame.
Under the tuition of his keeper, he
is speedily becoming proficient in the
art of aerial sprat-catching-which
probably accounts for his docility.
"Tim" seems wise enough to realize
that catching flying fish" is better
than swooping at keepers caps, as
some of his kindred do, and for his
good conduct he Is occasionally re-
warded with nice home-bred rat, by
way of change.
Eagles, however, are treacherous

MADISON.-Inclusion of women

bill before the Legislature, was frown-
ed on by the senate Wednesday when
by vote of Is to II it killed the pro-
posal.
Senator T. L. Barber, . Wausau, a
doctor, defended his measure on the
ground that it offered protection from
social disease to Wisconsin young
men about to marry. He said that the
women should be required to submit
to a physical examination in the same
manner as men.
Senator John eastman, Denmark,
and Senator Herman Roethe, Fenni-

front to the women of the state.
