Some remarable facts regarding the tongue have been recently presented by the eminent surgeon, Dr. E. So-i-chon of New Orleans. Tho doctor, after stating that the tongue, the nose and the skin are the only organs of special sense which perform other functions, remarks that the tongue is the only organ except the heart which presents a base, a body and an apex, and that no other organ can assumo such a variety of shapes or is mova ble says Leslie's Weekly. Its papu lae, though similar to those of other mucous membranes, are larger and more specially developed. The tongue presents a dual structuro in accord ance with its dual functions motor nnd sensory, varies In color more thin ary other organ, and Is more solid than any other vlscus. It Is the only organ presenting the three kinds of nerves, namely, a nerve of spe-lnl sense, one of ordinary sensation ann aao of motion. Too Pointed. Mr. Howard was a man of exceed ingly few words.

Looking Out for Grandma. They are considerate youngsters In Nottingham, as most people know, says London Tlt-Blts.

Believe Eng lish Sparrows Carry Germs Which Attack Fowls. Boston, Mass. Science has at last discovered why the turkey Is so scarce that its price has bocomo pro hibitive for many a Thanksgiving ta blethe big bird has been literally wiped out In New England by append! cltls. More than this, the disease has spread as far south as Virginia, and Is already invading Michigan, which up to the present time has for yearB been the chief breeding place of tur keys. So serious is the danger of a virtual extinction of the "national bird" that a thorough investigation of the causes of the disease and its possible preven tion Is being made by such well-known scientists as Dr. Theobald Smith and Dr. E. E. Tyzzer of the Harvard Medi cal School and by Dr. Philip B. Had ley of the State experiment station of Rhode Island. The same diseases which has deci mated turkeys has of late spread to game birds, such as pannage ana quail, and the investigation in this special line Is being prosecuted by Dr. George W. Field of the Massachu setts Fish and Game Commission. The findings of all these men have agreed that the old-fashioned "tur keyall" or "blackhead," which thou sands of farmers have bewailed as the bane of the valuable flocks of Thanks giving birds, is only the outward sign of a disease which starts from a small living organism, and which produces In the Intestines of the turkey or par tridge an inflammation similar to that of appendicitis In man. The organism which Infects the doomed birds has been variously iden tified simply as an amoeba and more speclflcally termed the "coecidlutn avium," but under either name It has done Its work and the experts unite in saying that once the disease has attacked a partridge or a game bird there is no hope. Although the dis ease is almost exactly the same, and in the same location as appendicitis In man, nobody had thought it worth while to perform an operation of ap pendlctomy on birds. There is a difference of opinion among the scientists as to how the germ Is spread. Some declare that hens act as distributers without being affected by It, while another view is that the common English sparrow is full of amoeba. If it should be proved beyond question that the sparrow con veys the germs the advocates of this theory declare that another crusade against the sparrows muBt be begun CODOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCXJOOCOOC R "AIRSHIP AN EFFECTIVE R INSTRUMENT OF GRIME." New Haven. Chief Justice Simon E. Baldwin addressed the American Academy of Arts and Science on "The Law of the Airship." He said: "It will be ono of the greatest instruments of smuggling, crime and even murder ever known, because of the compara tive ease in passing all sorts of revenue officers. The meetings held to consider airship mat ters have up to the present time been held by persons themselves greatly Interested In airships, aeronauts, so the rules laid down have been en tirely for theli Interests, and the public has been entirely Ig nored.

"Trespass we must consider, for we can no longer consider as settled Lord Coke's rule that we own up to the sky whatever we own on the earth. "A question which In years to come will cause much trou ble Is that regarding the in juries from objects falling from airships and how far the right of self-preservation will ex tend." ;ococococoococooooooooc LIKENED WIFE TO A STICK.
