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. The Largest Retail CLOTH lER3 in the South. r~\_ONE PRICE TO . .
