in the trunk and limbs. NJ. Dubois does not
admit the possibility of suffering after decapi-
tatlOn. lie writes thus: Every circumstance
tends to the conviction that the victim neither
experiences pain during nor after the decapi-
tatlon by the gulllOtine. | say everything CON
duces to this belief, as necessarily we can have
no proof on the subject" Several pbysiolo-
gists, however, differ from this opinion. Put
ting aside all theoretical considerations. we
may say that very exact experiments appear
to demonstrate that decapitated animals expe-
rience sensation and suffer during several
minutes after their heads have fallen beneath
the butchers axe. Experiments were made
about thirty years ago in the shambles of Par
is, under the superintendent of the c0nSerUn-
teOr. lie gave 1t as his opinion that death by
means OF the blow of an iron club produced in
tense pain, and he wished to ascertain whether
decapltatlon would cause a less degree of suf-
fering
Experiments were made on a hundred COWS,
and on an equal number Of calves and sheep,
and proved that the suffering after decapita-
tiOn was great. During the first minute after
execution the facial muscles were agitated by
trlghtful convulSiOns, the mouth alternately
opened and closed the respiratory organs of the
face worked, and the animal appeared to ex.
perience intense agony, and an imperative de-
sire to breathe. On placing a fnge within an
inch and halt of the eye, il suddenly closed
and opened again. Therefore, the animal
distinctly perceived the approach of hand to
its eye. At the end of few seconds these
phenomena ceased altogether. Professor Bou
chut also made experiments on the animals in
the Paris shambles, and also recognized thai
the death of the brain did not occur for three
or four minutes. Doctors who have had the
opportunity of examining the heads of decapi
tated animals assert the same phenomena.

The GuillOtine.

A late meeting at the Paris Academy of
Sciences was entirely devoted to a report drawn
up by NJ. Dubois, which treated of questions
which cannot fail to excite general interest
viz: Who was the originator of the guillotne?
Does this machine produce instantaneous
death? Does this create suffering? Does life
and sensation exist in the head when once the
latter is severed from the body? We quote
from the report of the discussion:
1t is generally believed that the guillotine
was invented by French surgeon whose name
was Guillotin. This, however, appears to be
an error, inasmuch as the first originator of the
idea seems to have been surgeon by the name
of Louis. 1t would, in fact, appear, according
to the revelations which have been made BY
this learned body, that in 1902, DR.. Louis
Secretary to the Faculty of Surgery, directed
a German mechanic Of the name of Smith tt
construct machine, with which he made ex
periments of the dead bodies issuing from thu
hospital Of Bicetre. But by giving the knifi
an oblique direction, he accomplished the de
capitation of heads with wonderful rapidity.
The first time the sentence of death was car
ried out by means of the guillotine was on tn
25th of April, 1892. The criminal was high
wayman.- The first execution of politica
prisoner by this means took place on the 2ls
of August OF the same year. From that mem
orable night the guillotine was kept so cor
stantly at work that in July, 1894, the difficu
ty was to find means of disposing of the corr
ses of its victims. 1t only took thirty-on
minutes to decapitate the twcnty-one GironC
J lists whom it was the good pleasure of the RevC
luton to doom to death. The question
0 Dubois treated is one of extreme interest,"
0 He inauires: Can life exist for any length
0 time in the head after it has been severed fro1
0 the body? When this subject was first inve
tigated, q belief prevailed that decapitatiC
caused atrocious suffering. Sammeranz asse

but pleasant memory of the merry-making !;
the dolls will be fractured, the books thumbed,

Yet this may prove the most charming gift

most lasting; for when these brown locks have
