THE STORY OF THE WICK.

A device for locating synker wrecks has beon invented by a Baltimora man. It consists of a busy to which is attached. long coil of rope, the whole loosely contain- ed in a metal cags on the deck of the vecnol When the vessel sinks the toy floats on the surface of the water, one email of the rope remaining fastened to the vessel. The buoy dontains a bell which will be rang by the motion of the waves, and also a box in which may be deposited the story of the dianster which led to the sinking of the vessel.

SIESTA AND BIGESTION..

The question bas very often buon raised whether rest after a ineal is favorable to digestion. Some persons oite the example of animals who lie down and go to sleep after outing, while others claim that sleep during digestion sunkes the mind, sluggish and predisposes to apoplexy, M. Schule, of Fribourg, has endeavored to solve the

question by chemistry. In two cases where

the stomach was normal he removed tho contents and analyzed thera a few hours after

According to these experiments bho regalar effect of slee is to lessen the power of contraction of the stomach, while The acidity of the gastric juice increas on the other hand, rest in a horizontal position stikṛulates the notion of tha stomach without incrossing its acklity. The inference is that it is woll to rest after cating, hut without going to sleep, particularly when one le affected with a dilated stomach or with hyperacidity of the gastric juice.
