Craving for alcohol seems to be much more raro than is generally believed, Mr. G. E. Part, ridge having found no evidence of it in 58 out of 65 cases of drunkenness. The chief cause of drinking is a social ónoma desire for increasing companionship and patting of reserve, and for excitement, experience and abanden, A minor motive is to banish pain, fatigue or trouble, or to increase courage or steady the nerves for unusual strain. Tests of the effect of small doses of alcohol on mental and muscular working power generally showed an inoresso for half an hour to two hour, but this was followed by decrense.

A curious propulsion by electric sparks has been recorded by Mr. Alfred G. Dell. In his experiments, he has supported a shellacked disc of mica on a vertical axis, placing it close above the spark-gap of an induction coil, and has found a tendency of the dise to rotate when sparks are passed beneath one edge. The phenomenon and especially the direction of rotation-seems to be greatly affected by the amount of moisture in the air. No satisfactory :KWONG SÀNG & CO,

The sensation of hunger has not been easy to explain. The new theory of a German physician is that it is due to emptiness of the blood vessels of the sternach, and it is pointed out that hunger is appeased with the rush of blood to the stomach following the taking of food and beginning of digestion. In many anomic patients, who have no appetite when the stomach is empty, the blood vessels of the stomach are really congested instead of being empty. Lack of blood in the stomach, in health, acts on a special nerve, which is a branch of the same nervo-trank as the nerves of the mouth and tongue. A stimulus applied to the tongue, us by a spice, thus increases appetite, while disease affecting the nerves of the tongue may produce loss of appetite, even when the stomach

empty.

A marked and permanent rise in the Deal Sea, causing the formation of a broad lagoon on the north side of the Jordan delta, is attributed to the raising of the entire bettem by volcanio action.

The unique observation has been made in Western Australia of a trup-door spider that utilised in its building operations a shilling it had found. The coin formed a zest lid for the "creature's barrow, and on top was covered only with silk thread, but underneath had the usual convex coating of mud and silk. The typical door of these nests consists of earth-pellets stuck

together with silk.

Hear the words of a great doctor, describing the signs of a particular malady. There is a difficulty in walking," he says, "and an in- ability to stand steadily with the feet together. Sometimes the patient feels as if the ground were always soft; and again the ranscular scuse is impaired, so there is hesitation in telling the difference in weight between things taken in and the other the hand-oven when one is light quite heavy. The eyesight becomes affected, so the patient cannot be sure how near or how far away an object is, or its colour. Some feel as if a card were tied tight around the body, or around a leg or an arm."

The lady alluded to had one, and perbaga others, of these feelings. "I was more or liss ill,” alle says, " for many years, Much of the food I took turned sour ou my stomach.
