Momm B. Col worth, of York, Kiiglmid. who has been gathering evidence In
Alaska to supiMrt It. This inovenunt, Col worth tielleves, Is caused by tu
Immense accumulations of ice along the Canadian shore of the Arctic Ocean
niid especially at Baffin's Land and Greenland. The Incalculable weight of
this mass Is, by the force of gravity, slowly pushing the crust of the earth
and consequently the North l'ole and the arctic cirt generally westward
over toward Siberia, where there are no, immense accumulations of glacial
tee to counteract the movement.
"I'd hate to be a June bride this
year," remarked the stenographer
lioarder, with a little giggle.
"Why?" Inquired the dental student.
"If the boy was all right and had the
shekels coining in regular, why not
June?"
"She didn't mean June, you It !" said
the young woman employed In a down
town cloak department, with friendly
freedom. "She meant this year. Don't
you know what year this Is?"
"Oh-h-h !" gald the dental student. "I
catch on. Pnrdon me."
"What do you think' of this thing of
women proposing, Mr. Slinms?" asked
the landlady of the old bachelor. "Do
you think they ought to?"
"Nobody would be safe If they did,"
replied that person.
"You would," said the young wom
an from the cloaks, with some asper
ity. "Now, now !" said the dental student.
"We mustn't have this. Sure, they've
a right to propose If they want to."
"You'd better take care how you es
tres" yourself on that subject, with
these fasclnntlng young ladles around,"
H.-iid the bachelor boarder, wnrnlngly.
"I wish there was danger of It," said
the dental student, with a glance at the
Monographer, who cunt down her ryes
nud blushed faintly.
"I never havo any luck, though," lie
ruuied. "I always manage to get In
with a bunch that's such lookers they
don't have to. They have to take a
club to keep the fellows away from
them." '
"When you say a 'hunch' I presume
you mean a galaxy." said the landlady,
a note of reproof In her voice.
"I mean a bunch of daisies, ma'am,"
said the dental student.
The young woman employed In the
downtown cloak department reached
liehlnd the oetio boarder to pat the
student on the back. "You'll never lose
o thing by that." she said.
"Womau," suld the poetic boarder,
iterlously, "woman should' be sought

"Hear him!" cried the dental stu

"There's nothing slow about Mr. 1)11

In the down-town cloak department.
"Come off!" said the bachelor board
er. "If woman should propose," contin
ued the poetic boarder, "It would in
evitably destroy our high ideal of her.
There might be exceptional clrcum

but no doubt It would tend to lower her
In the eatlmatlou of a manly man of

That would be too direct and too hon

This distressing affection.
medical terms chorea, Is a nervous
maiaay of early life. It Is most fre
quent in children 12 or 13 years old;
before 5 and after 20 it Is rare.
Girls are affected more frequently
than boys, nearly in the proportion of
three to one.
What the essence of the dlseaes la
physicians do not yet know. Some
think it consists In an undue Irritabili
ty of that portion of the nervous sys
tem which has to do with muscular
contraction, others that It Is due to fa
tigue or exhaustion of the nerves. The
principal symptom of chorea Is an In
voluntary contraction of certain mus
cles, commonly those of the face, neck
and arms, giving rise to irregular
movements of the bead and arms, cou
pled with grimaces. In severe case
the muscles of the trunk and the legs
are affected, so that the sufferer is un
able to walk, and even rolls and tosses
tabout lil the hud.
The constant movements give rise to
an Intense and painful fatigue. Some
times the spasmodic twitching of the
tongue and the muscles concerned in
the act of swallowing Interferes with
the taking of food, and the patient
suffers from semistarvatlon. Sleep Is
prevented or disturbed, althoueh when

cease. In the milder forms there may
be only slight twltchlues of the mus
cles of the face, the patient seeming
only to be "making faces' at people.
The disease often, although not al
ways, follows an attack of rheuma
tism, or It may be occasioned by a
fright or some other shock to the ner
vous system. Eye-strain Is believed to
be a cause in some cases. It is some
times Imitative In character, being ex
cited by the sight of another child who
has St. Vitus' dance, and In this way
the disease may spread, as by conta
gion, through a school. The strain of
school life, with long hours of study
and insufficient playtime, seems to be
an occasional cause, or at least to pre
dispose to an attack.
The treatment of chorea by drugs la
unsatisfactory. Some have been ex
tolled as curative, but a further trial
has usually shown that the recovery
was In large measure due to other
things. Much good can be done by ab
solute rest In bed In a darkened but
well-ventilated room, or better yet, In
a room with all windows open, or actu
ally In the open air, darkness being se
cured by a hood drawn over the eyes.
Reading and visitors should be pro
hibited. The food should be nourish
ing and digestible.
Sedative medicines are undoubtedly
useiui, DUt tney must of course be tak
en only under the physician's supervi
sion. The eyes should always be ex
amined and projK-r glasses fitted before
the child Is allowed to return to study
after recovery from an attack of cho
rea. In a French Chateau in Winter.
