The most useful and interesting let

rally, and without strain for effect
they tell all they know and then stop.

The recent execution in Paris reViv-
ed the old question whether death in-
simultaneously follows upon she sever
anee Of the head from the body. In 3
letter to the Gaulois DR.. Plnel asserts
that deeapitation does not immediate
" affect the brain. The blood which
doWs after decapitation comes from
the large vessels in the neck, and
there il hardly any call upon the Cirou-
latfon of the Uranium. The brain re-
mains intact, nouriahing ITSELF with
the blood retained by the pressure o5
the air When the blood remaining in
the head at the moment OF separation
is exhausted, there commences q state,
not of death, but of inertia, which lasts
up to the moment when the organ, no
longer fed ceases to eIists. DR.. Pinei
estimates that the brain finds nouriBh-
ment in the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapieatiOn. The period
Of inertia would last about two hours,
and absolute death would not issue till
after the space of three hours altogeth-
er. If, he adds, 3 bodiless head indi-
