Bellefonte, Pa., June 30, 1911. A Cavity That May Have Been the Seat of a Sixth Sense. Despite the progress of physiology the study of the human body is full of mystery. Scme of its well known organs have never revealed either their uses or the reason of their crea- tion. The part played by the spleen in human life was discovered but re cently. It is now regarded as one of the principal agents in the circulation of the blood. But there are in the marvelous human organism mys- terlous parts which it is possible that no savant, however profound his learning, may ever understand. For instance, in the skull, behind the car- tilage of the nose. there is a little cavity of unknown origin. Physiolo- gists believe that at one time—several thousand generations ago—it contained a gland consisting of two lobes joined by their common base. This cavity—the delta turcica—is, in the opinion of certain savants, the vestige of a sixth sense which was of great use to the antediluvian ances- tors of man. It is believed that this little gland enabled them to see in the darkness when they had not yet learn- ed the secret of procuring light; that it was the seat of the mysterious sense of situation or locality, the pow- er to orient their course, the sense so highly developed to this day in sav- ages and certain animals. The theory is plausible. but it is doubtful whether man will ever acquire any real knowl- edge of the reason for the existence of the delta turcica.—Exchange. NESTS IN COLONIES. Homes of the African Grosbeaks as Big as a Native's Hut. The biggest bird's nest in the world, not excepting the stork’s, is built by the African grosbeak. It is really 100 nests or more bound together with — London Globe. The Old Time Senators. A recent overhauling of a desk in the office of the District of Columbia health officer brought to light a small volume entitled “The Medical Register of the District,” which contained a complete list of the senators of the Thirty-ninth congress, giving thelr weight. beight and head and chest measurements. The author of the book, Dr. J. AM. Toner, says in explanation of the table: “It shows that in all the points ob- served our senators exceed the average | of mankind in all parts of the world 'as well as the average of our own | country.” | From the figures given it appears | that the tallest senators at that time | came from Kentucky. the shortest from | New Hampshire and West Virginia. ! The average height was five feet ten |and a half inches, and the senatorial i heads, “measured a little lower than closely interwoven sticks. vines and | the pat is generally worn,” showed an strands of coarse grass and is not | gyerage circumferance of twenty-two built by a single pair of birds. but by | a colony of them. It is of such enor- mous size that at a little distance it is often mistaken for one of the native huts built in the trees so frequently ! found in wild tropical countries where man eating animals abound, and the only way to sleep in safety is to “roost high” The birds usually select a thorn tree, probably because of the protection af- forded by the sharp. long thorns egainst marauders. All around the nest the roof of sticks, thatched with dry grass, projects to let the rain run off. A deep fringe of grass hangs from this cornice like a curtain to keep out any stray drops. These great nests are added to from year to year, each pair of mated birds building on the main nest. Sometimes the nest be- comes too heavy, and the branch breaks or the great mass of sticks falls to the ground. destroyed by its own weight. The grosbeak is no larger than an English sparrow and just as gregarious.—New York Press. Honesty Extraordinary. A traveler writing in an Italian magazine says that the Swiss canton of Ticino is inhabited by the most hon- est folk it is possible to imagine. In most of the Ticinese villages, the writer says, the oldest inhabitants do not remember any case of thieving, however petty, within a lifetime. Lost objects when found must never be taken away; they must be left where they were dropped or placed in a con- spicuous position so that the rightful owner can find his property more easi- ly. The case is cited of an American woman tourist who lost her purse on an excursion in the Val Capriasca. The purse contained gold coin and a jeweled watch. Upon returning from , her trip she found the purse with its contents intact on a little heap of leaves, so placed that it could not fail to attract her attention.—New York Sun. The Parsees of India. It was at a point ne.r the ancient city of Surat that tue Parsees first landed in India when driven out of Persia by their Mohammedan conquer- ors eleven centuries ago. Few things | are more remarkable than the manner in which this small community has re- tained its religion and racial charac- | teristics unchanged during that long ' and a half inches. Fourteen of the forty senators were six feet tall— Washington Star. Travel at Home. “Whenever | get the wanderlust,” says the philosopher, “1 get the cook to burn the steak and serve me some coffee that tastes as though it had brown pepper in it. Then I sit in the most uncomfortable chair in the house and try to read a newspaper in a poor light. I then go outdoors and let a cin- der blow in my eye. then go back in and go to bed on a cot that is four ; inches too short and a foot too narrow for me. with covers that gather them. selves about my waist and leave ny feet bare, while a clever contrivance sends alternate hot and cold blasts across me. Nest morning 1 have indl- gestion, a sore eye and a cold and a | fine assortment of aches and pains, | but I also have all the sensations of having been on a trip and am spared the worry of getting home again, for I am already there.” Life. Those Wedding Celebrations. “It's a ridiculous idea,” a man who has been married eleven months to- morrow confided to us, “to celebrate your diamond wedding when you have been married seventy-five years. I'm going to have it reversed. The dia- mond wedding should come first, then the golden, and so on. Let's have these things while they do us some good.” He is right at that. And yet social custom is going to compel this impe- cunious couple to celebrate their paper wedding next month. They need a few rugs and gold pieces, but some- | body will bring ‘em writing paper and a new deck of cards.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Wanted to Wake Himself. “John,” said the foreman unexpect | edly, “we bave decided to raise you $5 a week.” John made no answer, but appeared ‘to be looking for something on his desk. “Why don’t you say something? Aren't you satisfied?" demanded the foreman. “I'm trying to see if there's an alarm clock here,” said John.—Buffalo Ex- press. “Stonewall’s” Comment. At a council of generals early in the | COFFEE. ‘1 he use of coffee as a beverage is traced to the Persians; it came into great re- pute in Arabia Felix about 1450,and pass- ed thence into and Syria, and in 1611 to Constan e. It was con- veyed from Mocha, in Arabia, to Holland in 1616, and was first t to England Nathaniel Canopus, a Cretan, in 1650. first coffee-house in England was kept by a man named Jacobs, in Oxford, in 1650. The first in London was opened by a Greek in George Yard, Lombard Street, in 1652. Pope's well-known lines in “The Rape of the Lock” show that it was familiary known in his time: “Coffee, which makes the politician wise, And see through all things with his half-shut eyes.” Toward the middle of the fifteenth cen- tury, it is related, a Arab was trav- pw; in Rvystuls, Duding himself weak weary, near a grove. For fuel wherewith to cook his rice, he cut down a tree that happened to be covered with dried berries. His meal being cook- ed and eaten, the traveler discovered that these half-burnt berries were fra- grant. He collected a number of them, and, on crushing them with a stone,found that the aroma was increased to a great extent. While wondering at this, he ac- cidentally let the substance fall into a can that contained his scanty supply of water. A miracle! The almost putrid water was purified. He brought it to his lips; it was fresh and agreeable; and after a short rest the traveler so far recovered his and energy as to be able to resume journey. The lucky Arab gathered as many berries as he could, and, having arrived at Aden, informed the mufti of his discovery. That worthy was an inveterate opium-smoker, who had been suffering for years from the in- fluence of the poisonous He tried an infusion of the roasted berries. and | was so restored to his former vigor that | in gratitude to the tree he called it | camuha, which in Arabic signifies “force.” ! It is said that the Mohammedans, short- ly after the introduction of coffee, em- | ployed it to keep them awake during i their long religious services. Later it ! was considered an intoxicating liquor, and ! hence to be classed among the beverages i prohibited by the Koran. , Still its use was continued, however, and though it took a long time for its in- i fluence to pas beyond the confines of | Arabia, it finally came into favor at Con- ' stantinople, opened in the sixteenth century. where coffee-houses were : Australia and Her Sheep. One of the most valuable of Australia’s industries is that of sheep-raising, but it was not until one hundred and eighteen years ago that sheep were brought alive to that country, and even then experts declared that the animals could not be reared there and would die for lack of suitable pasturage. When the first ship-loads of ish emigrants sailed for Australia, in 1787, they carried a number of sheep on : but these were eaten before the vessels touched at the Cape of Good Hope, and there some of the South-African native Slisep Mite shipped. A few of these Australia, but they soon died, | supposedly, as Governor Phillips thought, | from eating the rank It was in| 1791 that sixty-eight were successfully transported to Australia, and | in 1792 twenty, and in the next year one ' hundred more came from Calcutta. | _ The first Spanish Merinos, twenty-nine | in number, were landed at Sydney in 1797, | having been imported out of a small flock ! which had been brought to the Cape of | Good Hope a few years before. A Mr. | Macarthur secured three rams and five ewes out of this shipment, and they throve | in their new home, their fleece wing . heavier and of better quality. He sent samples of wool to an in 1803, and ' a valuation of six shillings per pound was | given upon it. Encouraged by this, Mac- | arthur attempted to interest capitalists | in a venture which should in twenty years | make England independent of Spanish | Merino wool, since an adequate Australian supply might then be obtained. Failing to secure the means for carrying out his cherished project, Macarthur further im- | ed his own flock, which finally num- | four thousand and effectually dis- | ed all the adverse criticism of the ish experts. Thus it is to the perse- verance of Macarthur that Australia in- | directly owes a great part of her present | wealth. : The colored preacher who remarked “Brethren, there is one place to which we can turn and Always find sympathy—the ; dictionary,” probably meant more than he said. Certain it is that about the only place to which some women could turn for the sympathy they need, would be the dictionary. The husband doesn’t sympathize. The family whisper “Moth- | er has one of her nervous spells again.” ! Everybody seems to feel aggrieved that | their liberty to slam doors and romp around the house should be curtailed by | the requirements of “Mother's nerves.” Help is better than sympathy, and help free whether an able.
