''.XT' , ^ , , . r . SOUNDS IN THE SILENCE Animal* Hear Neleee That De Net Af- feet Our AUdlterjr Nerve*. It u very difficult to make some persons believe that nothing can move without making a sound, al though it may seem to be absolute •Hence to them. Everything that moves disturbs the air around it and seta up a kind of wave motion that spreads through the atmos phere in all directions. When these wave motions are strong enough we hear a sound. That we do not hear anything is no evidence that there is no sound, for other living things may hear what we cannot. The motion that is started in the air when anything vibrates or moves suddenly has often been compared to the motion of the surface of still water when we drop a pebble into a pond. But there is this great dif ference—the eye can see the wave made by the smallest glass bead you can find, but the ear is not nearly so sensitive, and unless the waves are pretty high in the atmosphere the human ear cannot detect them as sound. Animals and birds have much bet ter ears than we have. A dog will prick up its ears at the sound of your voice or a faint whistle when it is an astonishing distance off. A deer has been known to look up at the sound of a footstep that was still half a mile away in the woods. A gamekeeper in the south of England noticed that the par tridges were startled by some sound which he could not hear just at sunset every evening. An army of ficer who was visiting the estate thought it peculiar that the time should change with the change in the hour of sunset, and he had an idea. At a fort twenty miles away they fired a gun at sunset every day, and he noted the difference in the time and the moment that the partridges jumped and found it was just about Hifite That May Help In Weeing Sound and Refreshing Sleep. the SO upon slumber as the pillow, and probably no other ele ment is quite so sadly neglected.

Some even go so far as to have the bed stretched north and south so that the bodv in repose shall lie along the track of benefi cent electric currents seeking the north pole. Others insulate their beds against any possible loss of electricity by tucking each bedpost into a thick glass insulator such aa we see on telegraph poles. ' But how many pay any attention to the size and substance of the pil low ? Very few, if any. Insomniacs owe a debt of gratitude to osteop athy, for it is from a prominent doc tor of osteopathy that the following pillow lore has been acquired: The inside of the pillow should t)e of medium texture, for too hard or too soft a substance will cause enough discomfort to make sleep impossible. The thickness of the pillow is of the utmost importance. It should be exactly the same as the distance between the side of the head and a straight line drawn up ward from the outside of the shoul der. The narrow shouldered person should have a shallow pillow, the broad shouldered a thick one. The ideal pillow is one that main tains the upper links of the back bone on a true horizontal line. There must be no sagging down or jamming upward of the head, for a bending of the neck either down or up means that the links of the back bone, which are connected with each other like a. string of spools, are huddled too close on one side and stretched too far apart on the oppo site side. When the spine is thus jammed the nerves that control the the time that it would take for the circulation of the blood in the brain sound to travel that distance.
