Sugar and Insanity in
Bond of Relationship

There Is relation between sugar
and melancholy.
investigations reported by DR.. P.
K. MCGOWAN in the British Medical
Journal, Lancet, show that in GER
tain types Of insanity the amount
of blood sugar above the normal is
closely associated with the depth of
the depression.
Doctor MCGOWAN has devised a
technique for measuring the "hyper-
glycaeic index" as a measure of abb
normal blood content and believes
that 1t has some diagnostic value.
Thus patient who apparently had
recovered from depression would
not be released while the blood
sugar remained too high. In in
sane states characterized by extreme
excitement, he found. there is little
abnormality In this respect.
Sometimes a depressed patient
viii be found, he reported, who has
low blood sugar index. This is a
bad sign and greatly diminishes the
likelihood of recovery.
The sugar increase in depression.
he says, is a secondary phenomenon
Incidental to body changes that ac-
company emotion.

Irate Woman Probably
Had Time for Regrets

The bus terminal had been reor-
ganized since the Woman's last trip,
out she eventually located her bus,
and, having three minutes to spare,
paced up and down beside it.
From the waiting room emerged
a couple engaged in wordy combat,
the husband, as usual, losing in the
battle. On and on ragged the wife,
her spouse meekly following with
his arms full of bundles. AS she
got on the bus, he handed the bum
dies to her and prepared to turn
away.
Don't you dare to be late for sup
peri" shrieked his spouse. The un-
fortunate male, his downcast gaze
rowing humbly over the bus, started
suddenly.

Don't you Lily met" shrieked
the woman, starting off again.

"Lissen a minute!" begged the
AA0SDSlAlQs
''Lissen to you! Every time lis
sen" She finished an irate mono
logue and disappeared into the bus.
''Lissen," the little man called
after her. But she was already seat
ed inside. AS the little man made
toward the bus it jerked suddenly
and drove off, leaving him standing,
mouth open.
The Woman met his eyes with an
involuntary smile. A slow grin spread
over his face.
Don't that beat all?" he asked
the Woman, struggling his thin
shoulders. 81 only wanted to tell
her she's on the wrong busr' He
chuckled. 81 hope she finds out
soon. The first stop for that one

Hunger March" Started
Revolution in France

In France the great revolution be-
gan with the arrival in Paris dur
ing July, 1889, of thousands Of
hungry pilgrims" from the provin-
cial towns. James Waldo Fawcett
writes IN the Washington Post,
They had marched to the capital to
demand bread of the king. 1t was
these riotous elements which Joined
with the city mob to take the Bas-
tile on July IA. By October the
swollen population of the metropoli-
tan area was starving. The munich
pality endeavored to supply bread to
the more necessitous people, but the
demand was too great to be met
in this way. On October s a dele
cation of women set out for Yer
sailles to petition Louis XVI. AS
they marched they were Joined by
multitudes of other women. Arriv-
ing at their goal they increased their
originally mild demands.
The "insurrection Of women" was
promptly followed by a similar
march on Versailles of the men Of
Paris led by the National Guard.
The arrival Of La Fayette saved the
royal family for the moment, but
the king was forced to return to
Paris, accompanied by the mob. On
January q, 1893, he was executed.
The French revolution was "a
revolution" from first to
last, and in the end Napoleon Bona
parte was directing the marches.

Worlds Clearing House
for Dealings In Ivory

A sight that can be matched no
where on earth is frequently seen
In one of the big warehouses on the
London docks. On what is known
as the ivory floor of this warehouse
are sometimes no fewer than 10000
tusks of elephants and other ami
mails, among them 140 tusks Of pre-
historic mammoths, some estimated
TO be nearly $4,000 years old.
Every three months, when auc-
tions are held, more ivory than is
collected at any other place in the
world is brought to this warehouse
and buyers from the United States
and Europe come to bid for it.
The largest of the mammOth's
tusks measures Ia feet from tip to
tip, is curved like the horns of some
enormous paleozoic ram and is
worth $3.50 hundredweight. These
fce-preserved tusks are found in
the semi-arctic regions Of Siberia
and more thar ten tons a year ar
rive in this worlds clearing house
for ivory. In Siberia men dig for
these tusks as they dig for gold in
other parts of the world.
Some of these great pieces of
ivory are beautiful and wonderfully
preserved, while others look like
pieces of fossilized wood. The ivory,
except for the exterior discolora-
ton, is as sound as If it had been
taken off an animal a few weeks
ago.

Spectacles

The invention of spectacles has
been claimed for Roger Bacon about
1880 by Doctor Plott, but they are
generally supposed to have been in
vented by Alessandro de Spina, a
Florentine monk, In 1885. However,
Manni credits Salvino. who died in
1917. with their invention. and the
claim is justified by the inscription
on his tombstone which reads: "Qui
giace Salvino degli Armati, inven-
tore degli occhiali: Dec gil pardoni
lie peccata"-"Here lies Salvino of
Armati. inventor of spectacles; God
pardon his SINS"
Friar Jordan de Rivalto, in a SER
mon delivered by him in 1905. told
his audience that ''it is not twenty
years since the art of making spec
tacles was found out, and is indeed
one of the best and most necessary
inventions in the world" This puts
the date of the invention at 1885,
