THE CAUSE OF SEASICKNESS.
Beginning In Three Aural Tubes, It Even
tually Reaches the Stomach.
Seasickness starts in the ear. In
its cavity are three small tubes, each
bent in a circle and filled with fluid.
The three sit at right angles to each
other, like the three sides at the cor
ner of a room or a box. Consequent
ly in whatever direction the head is
moved the fluid in someone of the
tubes is given a circular motion.
Hanging out into the tubes, from
their sides, are hairs, or cilia, which
connect with nerve cells and fibers
that branch off from the auditory
nerve.
When the head moves, the fluid
moves, the hairs move, the cells are
“fired off,” a nervous current is sent
up to the brain and a feeling of the
head's peculiar motion is consequent.
As for seasickness, this nerve cur
rent on its way’ to the brain at one
point runs beside the spot or “cen
ter” where the nerve governing the
stomach has its origin. When the
rocking of the head is abnormally
violent and prolonged, the stimulus
is so great that the current leaks
over into this adjoining “center”and
so excites the nerve running to the
stomach as to cause wretchedness
and retching.
Deaf mutes, whose ear “canals”,
are affected, are never seasick. But
normally the amount of ear feeling
which we get by reason of moving
our head in a particular direction
comes in a curious way to he a mers
ure of the direction of sound. The
feelings we get from our skin and
muscles in turning the head play a
similar role. We turn our ear to
catch a sound. We do this so ■ fre
quently for every point that in time
we learn to judge the direction of
the sound by the way we would
have to turn the head in order to
hear the sound best.
Thereafter we do not have to turn
the head to get the direction, for we
now remember the proper feeling
and know it. This memory of the
old feeling is our idea of the present
direction. If we never moved our
heads, we never could have any such
notion of the location of sounds as at
present—perhaps none whatever.—
McClure’s Magazine.
An Indignant Reporter.
Lord Rosebery, while making a
speech at Leeds, was interrupted by
a Scottish reporter in a comical man
ner. The building in which the dem
onstration was held was packed to
suffocation. At the reporters’ table
sat a reporter of the old school of
journalists. Moisture gathered on
the pillars and glass roof of the build
ing and at length began to trickle
down.
Lord Rosebery was very solemn
as he approached his peroration, and
the meeting sat hushed in deep at
tention. All at once a drop of mois
ture detached itself from the glass
roof and fell with a splash on to the
bald head of the reporter.
“Wha’s that' sputtin?” loudly de
manded the pressman, with an in
dignant northern accent, whereupon
the audience burst into such a roar
of laughter that it was some time be
fore the noble lord was able to pro
ceed.—London Tit-Bits.
The Thrift of Good Spending.
If you would live long and prosper,
cultivate a liberal mind—that is to
say, let not the little foxes of daily
expense gnaw unpleasantly at your
financial consciousness. Part as
cheerfully with your dollars as you
greet them, and never by any means
be of those mistaken souls who
grudge the most necessary spending.
Otherwise they would feel reprehen
sibly prodigal. Tlie thrift of good
spending is utterly beyond them.
Good spending does not imply lav
ishness. Indeed it is straitly opposed
to the useless frittering away of hard
cash. Neither does it mean the keen
bargaining, the rasping calculation,
that in many minds stand for econo
my. Always that money is best spent
which brings the largest returns,
whether of comfort, luxury the de
sire of the eye or me pride of life.—
A Mania For Calendars.
We have seen it mentioned that an
eminent jurist, who has lately passed
away, had a great mania for collect
ing and storing up a copy of every
calendar heard of. No matter to him
what nostrums were in connection
advertised, whenever a page revealed
the signs of the zodiac and the
phases of the moon it immediately
settled the question of purchase and
ownership, and it is added that piles
and piles of them, limitless in varie
ty, were found among his treasured
things. It has been estimated that
this collection by an American gen
tleman may be regarded as the most
extensive of its kind known. —Har-
per’s Bazar.
A Circuit Clock.
The General Electric company of
Berlin, it is said, proposes to adopt a
new clock, which may be placed in
circuit like an ordinary incandescent
lamp. This clock, it is claimed, solves
the problem of providing an inex
pensive, yet effective, system of
electric control of clocks. The cur
rent keeps the clocks wound at an
annual cost of about 10 cents. Should
the circuit be broken, the clock will
run without the current for about
12 hours. The regulation can be per
formed by hand from the dynamo
room or automatically from an obser
vatory.—Chicago Herald.
