that ten million dollars was sub- scribed for the erection of a. magni- ficent EO-story building as a Cathe- dral of Learning which will be the new home of the University.

While the primary object of the building is to ‘arouse tlie community to the importance of the_ university ‘to Pittsburgh. a not less important object, Dr. Bowman declares, is to awaken the university itself to its own responsibility. Above all, "a building is wanted that will inspire the studentstto- their finest efforts.

, local authorities that in view of the expenditures on the Charlottetown and summersioe terminals during ' the last few years we were indeed K"very fortunate" tn getting an ap- propriation for a new car ferry and

‘the additional faculties. and that it

would be»“out of ‘the questkin” to

press for the building of new docks.

what the Railway has done, the

fact remains that the car ferry as

at present projected does not nieet

either with the demands of the

the I mmendations ‘of

_.The new ship is intended. not for the present alone, but for the ‘next twenty or twenty-five ymrs.

of the urgency of theficase and the ‘time already lost. it is to_be regret- ted that Mr. tfliiunders could not find it possible either to go to-Otta-

‘The Bureau of‘ Industries credits New Brunswick with having 910, in- dustrial establisments. employing 17,674 persons. paying $14,600,000 in yearly salaries and wages. and the capital utilized makes a total of $5,681,194. The industrial estab- lishments include 257 sawmills, 5 pulp and paper mills, 4 cotton mills, 190 flsh-curinggand packing plants, 11 biscuit and confectionery, 43 elec- tric light and power plaiits, '5 boot. shoe and leather factories, 38 but- ter and cheese factories and 12 cast- [llig and forging illdustrlés.

Wlren you see an individual» all "flushed up" with a fever, and then see the same individual when he is well, and still again; when he looks pale and haggard; you.may perhaps wonder what is happening to the circulation of blood in his system. Two BerTin hysicians, Drs. Ep- penger and bcilurmeyer have been doing some reseiifcIiWWQIFmn-this subject. and tell us that these differ- ences in the appearance of the in- dividual are due to the fact’ that the actual amount of blood that is cir- culating in the blood vessels varies greatly according to the individuaPs condition. . “1 In the case. of fever the amount that is circulating is much more than when the individual is well. ‘if he has undergone a shock of llapsed, the amount oi’ blood circulating is less than normal. ‘t After undergoing a general anaes- thetic there is less blood circulating and in one case of severe burn, it fell to less than half the normal values. “ - , ' - They tell us that by the‘ use of hcat and certain drugs. moreblood can be taken from the storage. de- pots and thus get into the circula- tion. -

That is the reason that in a “case of shock or collapse, your first thought is to get heat to the body. You will remember that your treati ‘ment of shock was the “application of heat in some form to the spine, abdomen, feet and hands. The pat- ient should‘ be placed 1n the lying down position with the head lower than thertrunk. 4Sma1l doses of hot coffee may be given by the mouth." After operations. as you know, hot water "bags, or bottles, or hot bricks are placed in the bed alongside the patient in order ‘to give heat.

So now that we know thatheat in nny form will put more blood into circulation. it would seem like"only good sense in cases of jainting. burns, shockfand so forth to apply heat in some manner. Your doctor will tell you that. ‘

In the case_of fevers, as Nature has plenty oi blood circulating-he is not anxious t2: "reduce” the tem- perature unless it gets beyond safe linilts. »

In fact this temperature, this heat. is Nature's way of fighting oil trouble, _ “

“Work, work. work; concentrate cn your job; stick everlasting to i ;, remzmber that genius lsnothlng but} an infinite capacity for taking! pains," is typical of what ‘the young and aspiring are ccmmoniy- told. They are told this in all sincerity. precisely as Newton told Halley, when the latter asked him how he llad lnade his great discoveries, “By always thinking about them." The actuality is thalt the basic ideas un- derlylng Newton's discoveries came to him in moments wheh he had temporarily closed shop mentally. cams welllng up, in "flashes ‘of in- sight" from that part of the mind, the so-called subconscious, where the best of one’s thinking isdone.
