The GnIIto.iue.

A late meeting OF the Paris Academy of
Science was devoted to a report which
treated of questions concerning the guillo-
THE: Does this machine produce instan-
taneous death9 We quote from the report
of the, discussion: mn, .b,... ooh d.
1t is generally believed that the guillo-
tine was invented by a French surgeon,
whose name was Guillotin. This, how
ever, appears to be an error, inasmuch as
the first originator of the idea seems to
have been a surgeon of the name of Louis,
1t would, in fact, appear, according to the
revelations which have been made by this
learned body, that In sl792, DIR. Louis,
Secretary of the Faculty of Surgery, di-l
rected German mechanic OF the name of
Smith to construct q machine, with which
he made experiments on the dead bodies
issuing from the hospital at Bicetre. 3 By
giving the knife an oblique direction, he
accomplished the decapitation of heads
with wonderful rapidity. The first time
the sentence of death was carried iout by
means Of the Guillotine was on the 25th Of
April, l792s The criminal was highway
man. The first execution of political
prisOnerby this means took place on the
2lst of August of the same year. From
that memorable night the Gnillotine was
kept so constantly atNvork that In. July.
1894, the difficulty was to find a means Of
disposing of the corpSesi of Its victims. It
only took thirty-one minutes to deeapitate
the twenty -one Girondlsts, whom it was

us that when the body is in pain it is a re7
lief to open the veins and let out the red
hot current, and thus get rid of trouble.
But Voltaire was not o Mason. This order
taught that the man who would slay him
self was as guilty of murder as he who
would slay his neighbor, and both were
towards, unworthy the name Of man. This
is modern Masonry. Now, a few wOrdson
ancient Masonry. Masonry is not of to-

mated at Paradise, and was the forerunner
of man. Masonry existed before Solomon
was born, and was fuIl-grown when Noah
built the ark. 1t was in itspride of strength
when Moses pitched the Tabernacle in the
wilderness, and was present when the COM
mandments were given unto the nations of
the world. At the time of Noah tile craft
was in perfect bloom; he impaired the Sc

fused at Babel, and there was lost, only,
however, to be revived again and bring
forth ten-fold fruit. Such is Masonry,
ancient and modern. Its works are round

the good pleasure Of the revoluti6h ~
doom to death. The, question: M. Dubois
treated is one of extreme interest. He in
quifes, can life exist for any length Of time
in the head after it has been severed from
the body? When this subject was first inT
vestigated. belief prevailed that decaplta-
ton caused atrocious saffering. Sumloq
meranz asserted that as the soul existed in
the head, the agonies endured must be
frightful; he maintained that the sensaJI
7 tions were not only physical, hut moral
and in proof of this theory quoted the
story of Charlotte Corday having blushed~
when the executiOner struck herr cheek.
Professor Sue went still further, aud asseIt7,d
ed that pain was felt not in the head alone,
but I'M tile trunk and limbs. NJ Dubois
does not admit the possibility of sufferingof
after decapitati0n. lie writes thus: Every
circumstance tepds TO the conviction thIlt
the victim neither experiences pain dtiriBgH
, nor after deea pitatioDb by the Gqillotjpe.
L say everything condnces to this belief, as,
necessarily we have no proof on the sub"
jectp SBVeral physi0l0gists,o however,
differ from this opipion.f Putting aside alb,
theoretical considerations, we may say that
very exact experiments appear to demonS
strate that decapitated animals experieBcenL
sensation aud suffer duringseyeral minutes
after their heads have fallen beheith the
buCcher's axe. Experiments were madeira
about thirty years a2Oin the shambles II
Paris under the superntendence of the d.
conservatory. He gave it-as his opinfotm
that death by means of the blow OF an iron z
club, produced intense pain, and,he wished
to ascertain whether .decapitatiOn would
cause less degree Of suffering. Experi- Il
ments were made on ahundred cows and 4
on an equal number of calves and s. esp,
and proved that the suffering after de-
capitation was great During the first
minute after execution the facial musGlesis
were agitated by frighlful conyulsions. the
mouth alternately opened and clos d, the
respiratory organs OF the face worked andsd
the animal appeared to experience intenseoi
agony, and an imperative desire to breathe.
Onplacing finger within an inch and
half of the eyeo it suddenly closed andIp
opened again. Therefore, the a6imal dis-is
tinctly perceived the approach of a hand
to its eye. At the end of aofew seconds
thesephenomena ceased altogether. Pro-d
fessOr Bouchut likewise made exDeriments,d
on the animals in the Paris shambles, and
also recognized that the death of the brain
did not occur for three or four minuies. 10
. Doctors who have had the opportunity of8
examining the heads of decapiated- ami ce
mails assert the same phenomena.
