Brain ExhaustfOn...Its Treatment and
Cure.

DIR. Radcliffe, i'll the last of his
Croonian lectures, very acutely and
thoroughly treats the subject Of brain
exhaustion, 80 common in these high
pressure days. After describing the
leading symptoms, such as loss OF
memory, depression Of spirits, in
creased or lcsscnc.l sleepiness, unusual
irrjtability, epileptiform condition Of
tho nerves, and sometimes transitory
coma, he proceeds to consider It's pre-.
vcntion and cure. He is opposed to
urging the patient to eat heartily, be.
lieving that hearty eating in such cases
tends to develope the disease. He
is equally opposed to the train
ing diet system and to Banting, Which,
in his opinion, generally starve the
nerve tissues by excluding hydrocar-
bous from food. He further thinks
that the patient should not be urged
to work moro than is natural under
tho circumstances, nor to rest from
head work, as he is satisfied that in
many cases cerebral exhaustion is in
trnsiticd by the brain lying fali"w. Ii
there is undue slccplcssness, the head
should lilo low on the pillow; ii undue
slecpiness, it should bo kept high.
Work should not be given up, but
moderated in amount and varied. He
would avoid all nestrums, such AS
phosphate food and the like.

The Fastest Speed on English Railways.
Member Sd Congressional Dist. Cal.

anC ihStCot OpCcU VI LuSllSu ll8jlWAySs
The following gives the mean aver
age of speed attained on some of the
principal railway lines having termini
in London: Great Western, 81 miles
per hour; London, Brighton and South
Coast, 459 miles Great Northern, 49,
miles London, Chatham aud Dover,
~ miles; Southeastern, 49, miles
Northwestern, AZ! miles; Midland, All
miles Southwestern, 4ot miles; Great
Eastern 81 miles. General average on
the nine roads, 431 miles per hour.
These averages, arrived ut by taking
the speed GU different parts of each
company's line, are not applicable to
certain portions of the lines where OK
press trains are numerous and usually
run faster. For example, on the Great
Northern line between London and
Peterboro, nearly all the trains run
at speed of over so miles an hour,
and an average for that part of
the line would, therefore, yield a much
higher figure than 453 miles an hour.
On the Great Western line trains runs
from Paddington to Swindon, a dis
lance of III miles, in hour and 81
minutes, or the rate of 534 miles per
hour. This is probably the fastest
running time indulged in any where in
the kingdom. Such a speed, barring
stoppages would bring Edinburgh
within u hours of London, instead of
the present 81 hours, which, when first
introduced, was looked upon as mar
Vicious travelling. Tho Southern Com
pany mako short run of 26, miles,
from Turnbridge to Ashton, in 81 min
utes, a rate of 5l} miles per hour, and
the Great Northern runs from London
to Peterboro, ~. miles, in an hour and
u half, or ut the rate OF 81 miles an
hour. The average of the fastest
speed attained Oh the nine lines
above mentioned is Az miles per hour.
Tho Exeter and West of England ex-
press of the Great Western Company
runs the entire disance between Lon
don and Exeter, 1874 miles, in Il hours,
includ ng three stoppages, or about 40
miles an hour. The Scotch express OF
the Great Northwestern Company
performs the journey between London
and Edinburgh, a distance of 400 miles,
in 81 hours, including six stoppages Of
some duration, an average of AZ miles
an hour. The London and Northwest.
ern Company's Limited mail" also
travels from London to Glasgow, dis
lance in 434 miles, in II hours and ~
minutes, an average of 80 miles an
hour. The examples of running fifty
miles and upward without stopping
arc numerous. The Continental
trains of the London, Chatham and
Dove, line run from Herne Hill to Do.
yer, "a miles, without stopping, and
the southeastern, between Cannon
street and Dover, IS! miles. The
Great Western trains run from Pad
.lington to Swintlon, III miles, without
stopping, and the Great Northern from
London to Pet crboro, and from Gran
than to York, 76t and 81 miles re-
spcctivcly, while the London and
Northwestern Company's Irish mails
run front Chester to Holyhead, a dis
lance of 854 miles. occupying two
hours and seven minutes. The latter
is the longest run without stoppages
un record.
