TKEEE tissues ABE PASSIVE. The (1) Bony; (2) Gristly, or cartilaginous ; and (3) Sinewy,or fibrous. These not only form the frame-work called the skeleton,but the last named, Tissue serves as a frame-work for themost flexible and delicate organs of the Body, giving tothem their passive strength, and binding their several partstogether. The first two named and their characteristics are readilyrecognized by everyone, and so are those of the SinewyTissue, when it is in the form of ligaments or tendons. Itis not as easily recognized when its delicate fibres arowronght or grown into curiously and variously shciped mesh- es, to serve as a framework of the skin, stomach, kidneys,liver, muscles, brain, etc., etc., to contain and protect theirblood-vessels, nerves, etc. t- r- /. Fig. 1 represents a portion of Sinewy Tissue with its fibres pnllecl 2 represents the same Tissue surrounding spaces from which their natur-al contents have been removed. The Tissue in both cases is much magnified. It is noteworthy that this Tissue is in two varieties : the white inelastic, and the yellowish elastic, which plays a very important, usually unrecognized, part in breathing, and is of vital importance in respect to restoration by artificial respiration of those suffocated by drowning or otherwise. * * The character of this Tissue, and of that of the gristles in a horse isjxidged by the jockey by grasping and compressing the ear. If elastic it indi-cates a good constitution, especially of the luugs— good wind as the ex-pression is. This trial is usually the result not of understanding the reasoBfor it, but simply of experience. In man it is an equally good index t
