/ A Colony OF SEVEN HUNDRED LuNAT-
ICs.--At the last sitting of the French
Academy Of Sciences, paper on insanity
was read by its author, M MORGAN, one OF
the physicians present. The chief object
of this pamphlet is to recommend the adop-
,ion in France, as regards pauper lunatics,
of the plan resorted to in Belgium.
NJ. Moreau states that in the village OF
Gheel, in tha, country, there is colony OF
not less than seven hundred lunatics, who
are treated upon so admirable system that
they are perfectly harmless, and live and
labor with the same inhabitants. whose hab-
its they acquire, and to which they become
so attached that when cured they are fte-
qnenty unwilling 10 qui, the place. These
! lunatics are made useful in agriculture and
manufactures and, and consequently Their
cost is small in comparison with ordinary
lunaic asyluns. The origin of this colo
nv dated so far back as the sixth century,
and is another yeri6caion of the old sdage
that there is nothing new under the sun, --
The mode Of treating the lnnailes at Han
we'll, near london, was considered when
first put in practice as novelty, and yet 1t
was nothing but the Gheel practice imper.
fectiy carried out II is only surprising
that this mode of treatment should have
beeu deferred so long in England; aud II
sInow evident that it is capable of great ex-
teniion in its application. Within the last
few years only, in that country, medical
men have ascer,ained the possibility of SO

supposed TO be the greatest drnker a.

He is ye, living in excellent health at the
age OF SO years, and still remains in state
OF perpetual thirst This individual aIiud
ed to, is Mr. James Webb, IF Fairhayen,
Mass, Under every aspect in which the
case nay he examined, it is remarkable,
aud perhaps unparalleled in the annals Of
physiology. III early infancy, the quantity
ct water which he consumed was so great
as to- asonlsh 'lIose who witnessed il. A
Development in SIZE and weight Of the body
required a corresponding Increase IN the
quantity OF his aquatic polatILns Under
ordinary circumstances, three gallons Of
wafer is rather a short daily allowance for
him. aud it would be impossible, it seems,

than palIul. With this amount Of cold
water daily poured into his stomach, Mr..
Webb has been in good health and spirits
