_ â€"Many ingenious and wonderful guesses have been made, and some _ things found out about the brain. 41+t has been found that the brain is divided into many departments, all under the control of the spirit. From their respective centres go afrforth ‘the nerves to the eyes, cars, fingers, etc., and these nerves keep , the brain informed of what is going on in the world. Just consider for a moment that everything that any one knows, or ever will know, on this earth has come, and will come, to them through the medium of their senses. C For example, let us consider the ‘eye. We have learned in our studâ€" â€" ies of physiology that the eye is like a camera; that the lens in front focuses the image on the retina, _ which is a dense network of tiny nerves, gathered together so as to _form the optic nerve, and this nerve ! goes back to the optical section of ée brain. But how does the image, cused on the retina, go back to the brain ? ® â€"â€" In the same way, our theory supâ€" poses the nerves to contain chemiâ€" _cals, whichâ€"are far moro unstable than gunpowder, so much so that, ‘.jn the example given, the nerves of the eye, a ray of light is sufficient â€"to change the chemical nature of ‘‘the compound at the end of the »merve iastantly. This compound is &Isfgrso sensitive that no two things ‘make the same change. The vioâ€" ‘lence â€"with which each particle of the chemicals of the nervo changes _causes the next one to also "exâ€" â€" plode,""‘ or change, and so on, â€" throughout the length of the nerve, so that the impression travels From the Retina to the Brain. To counterbalance this breaking «€wn nature has provided & proâ€" cess of instantaneously rebuilding, which restores each part of the nerve to its original state. Bomeâ€" times the shocks of the breaking down come in such quick succession that the rebuildin‘g process fails to counterbalance, and then thero is a temporary paralysis of that noerve. An example of this is in being Blinded by the light of the sun. _ But there is one machine which surpasses them all. Indeed, it creâ€" ated thoem all, and in the future will undoubtedly create many far more wonderful machines. Its inâ€" vention is not recorded in the patâ€" ent offices, for it existed long beâ€" re theose. o one can do more than guess the beginning of this wonderful achine. Its origin is shrouded in the dim past, long before the preâ€" historic oza. The early arts of all the earliest people bear its marks. Et is recorded in the Pyramids, and even the Ephinx speaks plainly of it. The beautiful sculptures and the deep philosophy of the Grecks ghow its high development, and the marvels of our own day tell us that the most wonderful machine of all is that which created themâ€"the human brain. True, it is far more than a mere machine, for there is a spirit which controls it and directs its workings, but it is only of the mechanical part ihat we would speak at present. o learn more of the inner workâ€" Angs of that organ, which thinks and carries out ideas, has long atâ€" tracted the earnest study of scienâ€" tists. It is, however, so intricate, so difficult to approach, and so elosely tangled with spirit, that it has eluded the searchlights of science, and still remains a mysâ€" tery unsolved. In this age it would seem to be a difficult task to pick out which one of the mechanical wonders would be the most marvelous. From the gigantic steam shovel digging the Panams Canal, down to the comâ€" pact adding machine, of inestimable use to accountants, we find many ingenious devices, any one of which might claim the honor of being the zeest wondecrful machine. how does the brain interpret this nerve stimulation into an impresâ€" sion of the image, perfect in every detail, and glowing with every eolor? That is the great puzzle. Attempts have been made to liken the optic nerve to an electric wire, and to consider an electric current as being the carrier of the sensaâ€" tions. For many reasons this view seems improbable. Another theory, which is at least interesting, and may prove to be correct, is that the nerves are comâ€" posed of chemicals of such a constiâ€" tution that they may be easily tban,ged, A familiar example of a imilar change is gunpowder. This is an unstable chemical mixture, and the application of a little heat is sufficient to cause an explosion, resulting in a new copnditionâ€" of chemicals.

The rapidity of these changes More Wonderful Still, Spirit in Control. will boe understood if one will move theâ€" eyes quickly from one view to another. Immediately the one view vanishes and the image of another is imprinted on the brain. In the most minute fraction of a second conceivable the nerve has carried this message to the brain, by the chemicals â€" faithfully _ performing their functions, and the nerve is immediately ready for the next imâ€" pression. Whether this theory is correct or not, one cannot help but be most deeply impressed with the workâ€" ings of this most wonderful of all machinesâ€"the human brain.

Experiments of. Prof. Bernbeck Show Enteresting Facts. A rather surprising degree of inâ€" fluence of the wind upon plant growth and crops has been shown by the experiments of Dr. Oscar Bernbeck, a German professor of agriculture. Severe gales tended to produce deformity, giving & twisted and knotty shape to twigs, and ordinary winds diminished the energy of growth of sprouts through the increase of transpiraâ€" tions and alteration of circulatory conditions, and had a drying effect that in some cases caused serious injury to both soil and plants. Dr, Maria Montessori. She is now on this side of the Atlantic lecturing on her famous method of school teaching. Under a wind of thirtyâ€"three feet per second, the ground lost three or four times as much water as on proâ€" tected land. On ground sufficiently moist, strong sprouts were but little affected, but on some soils the growth with no wind was three times as great as with a wind of thirtyâ€"three feet per second. Was Restored to Her Anxious Famâ€" ily When Hope Had Gone. St. John, N.B., Dec. 15th â€"At one time it was feared that Mrs. J. Grant, of 23 White St., would succumb to the deadly ravages of advanced kidney trouble. ‘"My first attacks of backâ€" ache and kidney trouble began years ago. For six years that dull gnawing pain has been present. When I exâ€" erted myself it was terribly intensified. If I caught cold the pain was unenâ€" durable. I used most everything, but nothing gave that certain grateful reâ€" lief that came from Dr. Hamilton‘s Pills of Mandrake and Butternut. Inâ€" stead of being bowed down with pain, toâ€"day I am strong, enjoy splendid appetite, sleep soundly. Lost properâ€" ties have been instilled into my blood â€"cheeks are rosy with color, and I thank the day that I heard of so grand a medicine as Dr. Hamilton‘s Pills." Protection is to be sought by variâ€" ous kinds of wind shields, such as walls and hedges, and especially by plfnlnting forests on neighboring hills. It was evident that the usual moderate wind of Germanyâ€"ten to twentyâ€"five feet per secondâ€"may lessen the yield of: exposed land more than half.

Division of labor is clearly: seen in the wasps‘ nest. Some of the workers, states a writer in The New York Press, seem to be specially employed ‘as foragers and soldiers ; others appear to be told off as nurses and guardians, while yet others are engaged as paperhangâ€" ers and masons. _ Wasps are at all times particularâ€" ly fond of honey. Toward the end of the summer, as all beekeepers know, they will force their way into bechives and carry off by force as much ‘as they can gorge of their winged neighbors‘ honey. _ The drones of the wasp world, inâ€" stead of being idle and luxurious, are sober, industrious and wellâ€" behaved members of the communâ€" ity. They clean the streets of their town with exemplary diligence, actâ€" ing as public scavengers or sanitary officers. And they have their reâ€" ward, for, unlike the bee drones, they live their allotted life in peace and quietness until winter involves both them and their maiden sisters in one common cataclysm of death and destruction.
