Primitive Ideas Still
Prevail in Mourning

Most of our funeral customs go
back to primitive times when 1t was
believed that there was danger to all
except priests who had to do with
corpse. and death witchery was &C.
cepted without question. Some primi-
tive peoples destroyed everything as
ISOLATED with a funeral. even going SO
far as to tear down the house In
which the death occurred. Some of
these customs have survived as marks
Of respect for the departed, as has the
practice of removing all ornaments
and ceasing all activities marking the
ordinary pursuits Of life. In some
churches affairs are stripped on Good
Friday In observance Of the anniver-
sary Of the crucifxion of Christ.
There is a tradition In some communi-
ties that the clock stops when there
is a death In the household. Mirrors
are usually associated with vanity
and other light attributes regarded as
not In keeping with the mourning
spirit in the presence Of death, hence
they are covered to contribute to the
gloom and hush of mourning.

Anaconda Largest and
Most Vicious of Boas

The largest snake in modern times
is the anaconda. an aquatic boa, living
In the swamps and rivers of the dense
forest Of South America. II is Of a
general olive brown color. with two
alternating rows of large oval black
spots down Its back. 1t is white with
black spots underneath. The anacon-
da lives In the water, but often climbs
into the trees. II feeds on birds and
mammals and does most Of its hunt
ing at night. Its method Is to lie sub
merged under the water with just its
head exposed, watching for prey, or to
establish itself In the branches Of
some tree over water, or the track Of
game. AS It belongs to the boa fam
lily, It coils around Its victim, crushing
It to pulp before devouring 1t. 1t is
the most ill-tempered of large boas.

One of the strangest of the many
fantastic tricks lightning flashes play
is the "fulgurite," which is sometimes
found on the sands of beach. 1t is
a tube of CLASSY substance, project
ing above the ground like a stump of
a bush. Beneath the sand 1t is often
several feet long with many branches
and twists, much like root. 1t is
caused by a direct stroke Of lightning,
the tremendous heat Of which fuses
the wet sand into hollow glass tube
Another odd prank of lightning was
the bolt which tore the clothes from
mans back without killing him. bis
persplration apparently had been in
stantly transformed into steam by the
mighty electric current. The minla-
AZURE explosion blew off his clothing.

Literary Gem In Hear

When the late Sir Edmund Gosse,
whose valuable collection of English
plays Of the Restoration period was
so well known among scholars, once
was searching the shelves Of a Soho
bookshop he found a stack of old
plays, Of which the bookseller was
anxious to get rid.
"There WERE" said GOsse, "treas-
ures lying in that ignomlnious heap,
and II had only had In my pocket
what single one of those plays

Regulating Climate

Just as In winter one opcns his win.
dow to let in the cold air when the
room is too warm, a Washington me-
teorologist suggests using the ice Of
the polar regions to regulate the earth's
climate. This may be done by having
international expeditions sail to the
Arctic and Antarctic and blast huge
chunks of Ice from the glaciers. This
would let more icebergs into the
oceans and would considerably mod
crate the heat of summer. Those Ice
bergs which are naturally found in
the North Atlantic have a beneficial
effect on the climate of Europe, among
other things preventing droughts. Sim
arly, Antarctic icehergs are of benefit
to Australia.

Marvellous Number of
Nerve Cells in Brain

The piece Of machinery which oper-
ates more like the brain than my
other is the automatic telephone. The
teleyox is more spectacular, but its
work is limited. In the operation Of
the automatic telephone the selection
is made In the same way-by series
of number signals rung, In succession,
by small contact point behind the
telephone dial as 1t turns But inst lead
of the hundred separate signal COM
binations that the televOx can under
stand, the telephone system has place
for nearly ten billions.
Yet even this vast sum the human
brain exceeds. The number Of living
nerve cells In the surface gray mat
ter of the brain is more than 9,000,-
100000 II 1t be assumed that these
can be connected to one another in
the same fashion as telephone sub

agree is probably something like what
happens during thinklng--the num-
Der Of possible interconnections would
be about 90.OO0,0OO.OOO. OOO,OOO,OOO.

The International Ice patrol was or

don, 1913 II resulted from n uni
sersal demand for protection Of
steamships against icebergs In the
North Atlantic area after the loss of
the Titanic, in April, 1912. The United
States was asked to undertake the
management ot this service, and
agreed to send two vessels to patrol
the danger area during iceberg season,
March to July |. Each Of the con-
tracing parties consented to bear q
share Of the cost in proportion to its
shipping tonnage.

United States Takes
High Rank in Healing

At the beginning Of the Nineteenth
century. according to Doctor OsIer,
there were only three medical schools
In the United States and only two
general hospitals Students who de-
sired a better education than they
could receive locally were forced to
90 abroad.
There were only a few medical jour
mails In circulation In this country and
almost no American medical books
had been published Around the mid
die of the century, many new medi
cal schools were founded, but their
standards were low and the educa.
ton they gave was poor.
The reformation started in Harvard
shortly after President Eliot assumed
Office in 1869 and quickly spread to
the other medical schools Of the cOun-
