Murderer Hung I'm Pennsylvania.

INDIANA. Pa. February Thames ALI
son. who killed his father in June last, was
hanged here about II O'Clock to-day. 1t
was the first execution that ever took place
in the county, and OF course has created a
good deal OF excitement. The scaflold was
erected in the yard OF the iail-a place
some twenty-five feet square. The yard is
so fenced in that the interior is not visible
from the outside. The execution was very
private. Only about forty persons were
permitted to witness it. Allison was con-
siderably broken down. He refused TO
converse about the murder, and when it
was mentioned relapsed into sullen Sc
lence. The only man for whom he seemed
10 have the slightest regard was the Catho-
lie priest OF this parish
He refused the services OF all ministers,
and on the gallowS avowed himself inno-
cent Of the crime for which he was about TO
be hanged.
The dropfcl at Loo o'clock, and al Lilo
he was pronounced dead. His neck was
broken and he died without Il struggle.

Gladstone Explains.

LONDON, February lin explaining
last evening in the House Of Commons his
recent uttcrance in regard to home rule.
Mr.. Gladstone said he held on the question
OF local government very clear and dis
tinct opinions, though ii was unlikely that
he would ever be called to take action on
them. He considered that the dccentrali-
cation Of Parliament should be a cardinal
rule Of the policy that local institutions are
the source OF greatest strength. and that
the only limit which in principle is neces-
sary TO them is an adequate provision for
the supremacy OF central authority. He
believed that the wise and Just way Of
meeting the demand for bringing Irish
affairs more under Irish control is not to
regard it as the first step towards scpara-
ton, but rather TO ask the promoters Of the
change to formulate the guarantee they
proposed 70 give for the supremacy OF Par
lament. He had never yet read any ade-
qlate and satisfactory explanation on tins

A Very Long Sleep.

An Egyptian desert snail was receiv.
ed at the British Museum on March %,
1916. The animal was not known to be
alive. as it had withdrawn into its shell,
and the specimen was accordingly gum
med, mouth downward, on to a tablet
duly labeled and dated, and left to its
fate. Instead of starving, this content.
ed gasteropod simply went to sleep in a
quiet way, and never woke up again for
four years. The tablet was then placed
in tepid water and the shell loosened,
when the dormant snail suddenly resus.
citated himself, began walking about
the basin, and finally sat for his portrait,
which may be seen of life size in Mr..
Woodward's Manual of the Mollusca."
Now, during those four years the snail
had never eaten q mouthful of any food,
yet he was quite as well and fourishing
at the end Of the period as he had been
ut its beginning.
