The research on the sympathetic nervous system is being carried on In a subterranean cellar which at one time belonged to a convent. Makes Heart Beat. It Is the sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the beating of the heart, for the movements of the digestive organs and for all other bodily processes that are performed without conscious effort. It is also concerned with the arious links between ttie emotions and physical reactions, such as between fear and the bristling of hair which in human beings Is chiefly noticeable In the effect we Little Is as yet call gooseskin. known as to the details of how and why the activity of this involvaries nervous system untary among normal human beings that Is, for Instance, why Dne of two brothers may be much more highly strung than another. It la toward the solution of these and many other allied problems that this research is directed. The essence of the method lies in the measuring of reactions of the sympathetic nerves through recording whose changes In the size is governed by the sympathetic system.

Wet Feet Compulsory. An important feature of these experiments Is that the subject Is made to keep his feet in warm water. This neutralizes the ordinary effect of slight changes in room temperature. Normally these changes cause frequent slight variations in the sympathetic and vascular systems, and such variations would affect the accuracy of measurements of other sympathetic reactions. Numerous different tests can, of course, be made on each subject. Chief among these are the reactions to pain, usually Induced by pinpricks or pinches. Experiments have also been ex tensively made with subjects some of whose sympathetic nerves have been severed by accidents or disease, or whose brains have been Injured. as by the removal of brain tumors. a few hours before he goes to sleep. Dr. II. M. Johnson, professor of psychology of American university, Washington, D. C announced at Cornell university here. Experiments based on different methods, nude by Dr, Rosa Heine Katz, at the University of Got- tuigen, and by Joseph F. OBrien, graduate student at American university, showed that all the subjects who were studied were better albe to recall and also to relearn material that they had learned by rote and partially forgotten, if they slept for eight hours and then worked for 16 hours, than If they distributed their rest and activity In any other way during the period. Vary as to Subjects. The differences In favor of sleeping immediately varied between 20 per cent and 30 per cent, according to the subject and the task. One would be justified In offering a bet of 100,000 to 1 by Mr. OBriens results were not due to chance, Doctor Johnson said. Two explanations have been offered. One, which Doctor Johnson called the hardening hypothesis, pictures the brain as Inert dflrlng sleep, giving recently received Impressions a chance to become set" The other, called the reverberation hypothesis, regards the brain as an active organ even during sleep, and supposes that it goes on repeating or reverberating recently received Impressions during the unconscious period. Highball Dulls Memory. Doctor Johnson does not regard either hypothesis as satisfactory. The hardening" hypothesis is cast into doubt by the poor recall of memorized material made by persons who had "hardened their brain with the equivalent of only one highbalk Furthermore, very recent studies on brain waves show that these fluctuations In the electric potential of the brain go on continuously during sleep, though not In their ordinary waking By O.

When they go oer each others fur In their cage, occasionally nipping something between their front teeth, they arent hunting for what you think theyre hunting for. So says Dr. U. E. Ewing, entomologist of the United States national museum, In a recent Issue of the Journal of Mammalogy; anl he backs up his opinion with the assent of several Monkeys given the facilities necessary to keep clean are highly unlikely to be verminous, the zoologists declare. But if that Isnt what theyre after, what are they hunting for? Doctor Ewing made some close observations and a few experiments, and one by one eliminated things that have been suggested; loose flakes of skin, salt crystals from perspiration, etc. In the end. It settled down to Just hairs. When Jocko finds a loose (or perhaps lust a loosening) hair on his mates back, he plucks It out and nibbles It op.

One of the things that advance In culture, or civilization, does for a people Is increase the general hold on life. One of the appalling stigmata of a barbarous state is the terrifically high Infant mortality. And even for those who run the deadly gantlet that besets children at low cultural levels, there remain the dread horsemen of pestilence, famine and war. As we adfance out of barbarity, we Improve the amenities of life. Insure better food supply, learn more of the causes (and hence of the controls) of disease. We even manage, to a slight extent, at least, to keep the peace. So we live longer. The lifespan yardstick stretches more and more toward the traditional threescore years and ten. We can account ourselves, relatively at any rate, civilized. But before we can grow smug and boastful of our progress, Doctor Sarton swings out the second Joint of his yardstick. Though the lifespan of Occidental peoples has increased appreciably during recent centuries, and most notably during recent decades, the Increase has been on a most uneven front The w ell - fed, well sheltered, well - doctored upper classes are taller, stronger, healthier, longer - lived than the poor. There Is an Inequality In the distribution of length of days, as there Is In material things. A society that shows this "Inter-clas- s disparity of lifespan cannot boast Itself as truly civilized. tht ilm 1 blood-vessel- blood-vessel- ADAMSONS ADVENTURES l T fj "perpetual motion" lms been keeping the eorrec t since November, 11)10, witho rewound, Is seen In this ch an Orebro (Sweden) United' The rhxk, !e correspondent. by changes In air pre-tconstructed that If there shi no air pressure change for than 12 months the dork sto keep on going.
