Cacions twists are observed in many tree tranks, and the inquiry just begun in Europe suggests the surprising conclusion that they are produced by the earth's rotation, like the twists of storms and the whirls seen in water. Vax den Broeck, the Belgian geologist, points out that if conditions of growth were the cause the torsion should follow the sun's apparent poth In at least 990 out of 1009 trees the raverse is true, and it may be that the twist is usually to the left in the northern hemisphere and to the right or with the clock-in the southern hemi- sphere, like the turn of the cycloaie storms and water rortions. Thin difforonce is due to the earth's rotation. Jean Brumbes notes that it was shown some years ago that the winds due to the earth's motion, blow steadily tie and a when vegetation is active and sensitive, and a slight continusna bending and turding the would be likely to affect the tres permanently.

anscular effort became feable and aluggish. In many similar cases, he believes, the swimmer loses consciousness or faints from cerebral anemis. If there is no help near, the result is another drowning accident, and the report of it will probably state that the victim "was seized with cramps, and sank." Swimming in cold water is dangerous if the circulation is weakened from any cause, especially after a fast of several hours, or if there is any heart trouble.
