THE HUMAN BODY.

with 522 voluntary muscles. The

The blood is composed of two censtit-
ments, termed by physiologists red and
white corpuscles, numbering some thou-
sands of millions.
Qur house has something like 600
#iny telegraph wires, called nerves,
eonnected with the brain and spinal
eord, and these little wires are always
throbbing with messages which they
felegraph to the main office—the brain.
Bes’les these there are the sympathet-

mands, which help the former.

SUNSTROKE.
Properly Speaking, It Should Be
Called Heat Apoplexy,
What is called “sunstroke,” the ef-
@ct of great heat, should be “heat
apoplexy.” The misnomer leads the
multitude to suppose that death from
® is caused through being struck
down by exposure to a special ma-
Bvolency of the sun's rays. This is
met so, for patients are with equal fre-
guency found in houses and barracks
and tents and at night as well as day
and, whether In sun or shade, are gen-
erally those whose health is debilitated
By dissipation, disease and overfatigue,
and the evidences from all parts of
#@e world show that exposure to in-
fense sun rays Is less to be feared in
dry countries than in countries where
te temperature is much lower, but
#e atmosphere is moist, and perspira-
fon Is consequently retarded.
People suffer more from a tempera-
fare of 87 degrees F. at Brussels than
at 122 degrees F. at Cairo, owing to
#e molst air of the first and the ex-
#reme dryness of the air in the latter
aity.
The inhabitants of the eastern coasts
af the United States hear with amaze-
ment of temperatures from 118 to 128
degrees I. being tolerated in the dry
megions of Arizona and South Colorado
without harm and that the ordinary
avocations of farm and factory are
pursued without inconvenience. This
# due to the cooling effect of rapid
evaporation from the surface of the

“There is in England a tax of §5 a year

Sv few people are entitled to a

English government much money.”
“The tax brings in $250,000 a year,”
mplied the stationer. “There are 50,

‘ The Marriage Knot.
A good deal is heard of the “marriage
Emot,” but very few of us realize that
#@e knot was ever anything more than
= figure of speech. Among the Baby-
Mrdans tying the knot was part of the
marrige ceremony, says Home Chat.

Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 7.—A terrible
wind and rain storm struck Harris
burg, instantly killing Charles M.
Richwine and Chic Befrandl and in

brakeman and was struck by lightning
while standing under a tree near the
show grounds. Befrandi, a Japanese

tent, was struck on the forehead by
the lightning and died almost imme
diately.
Several women in the main tent
fainted fzom fright and were taken to
houses in the vicinity of the show
grounds. As the wind blew a hurri
cane and the rain came in blinding
sheets, the people on the seats began
to stampede for shelter. Several were
knocked down, a number fell from
high seats in their efforts to get to the
ground, and others were badly squeez
ed in the crush. But nobody was seri
ously injured. Just as the people gol
safely away the horse tent of the cir
cus fell with a crash, and one of the
bronchos was caught beneath a pole
and killed. The show property was
more or less considerably damaged.

Silk from Guueotten,
Science threatens to put the silkworm
ont of business. French chemists have dis-
covered at least three distinct methods of
tremely deliberate silkworm.
Perbaps the most interesting of these is
the manufacture of silk from ,
which also serves as a base for the most
powerful of modern explosives.
The viscous fluid from which the silk-
worm spins his thread is chemically dupli-
cated hy a process described in the Technic-
al World. The fabric thus produced ie in-
flammable, and in order to remedy this de-
fect it is treated with an alkali sulphide
solution.
The founders of the new industry have
kept in view not so much the exact repro-
duction of natural silk as the production of
a substance which embraces its valuable
sound, §uawn as STEP. Perhaps the
liancy and scroop of are the best known
of its qualities, 0d 1 Io in these two re-
speots that silk most closely re-
sembles natural, its brilliancy being great-
er and its soroop slightly less.

HIGH STREET,
For Hay Fever.
Hay fever season is almost here with its
hindrances, annoyances and suffering. Af-
ter 30 years of its periodical attacks. I
hava found a remedy. Its very simplicity
wakes it seem to be almost absurd. If
just now, in its incipient state, the patient
will relieve the congested watery condi-
tion of his head by meaus of alum held be-
tween the lips and the gums, he will ward
off the attack. He should give himself
this treatment once a day for about ten
days and add to thisa free use of lemons
and mild cathartic.
