The fact that the will of the late Sir
William Gull has been proved, showing
property to the amount of 81, $50, 900, has
created much talk of late. 1t is beyond
doubt that for the last few years, since
physicians have doubled their fees, and
since both branches of the profession are
constantly in receipt Of very large sums
for expeditions by rail, the earnings Of
members Of the healing art have very
largely increased. There are possibly a
dozen medical men in London who at
their death will be found to have amass-
ed $500, 900, but there is probably not one
who has put by anything like the for
tune left by Sir William Gull Chicago

Spontaneous Combustion of Man.

Dickens has been very much criticised
for his apparent acceptance of the fact
of human spontaneous combustion, but
the late Sir William Gull testified to a
surprising case before the committee of
the house of lords on intemperance
during the summer of 1886. A large,
bloated man, who was suffering from
difficulty of breathing and great dis
tension of the venous system, died at
Guys hospital. AT the post mortem of
the following day there was no sign of
decomposition. but the body was dis
tended with what was thought to be gas.
when punctures were made into the
skin" said Sir William, land lighted
match applied, the gas which escaped
burned with the blue flame of carbu-
retted hydrogen. AS many as dozen
of these little flames were burning at
one time, st. Louis Republic.

EDITOR MIRROR: State penitentiaries
were originated and designed as places of
detention and punishment, without any re-
gard to the improvement of the inmates
farther than as the punishment might serve
as deterrent from repeated offenses; and
although they have long borne the reputa
tiOn of being nurseries of crime" rather
than of exercising any great influence in
diminishing crime, old methods are still
preserved to great extent, and are almost
relgiously guarded as the only relic of
semi barbarism that are worth preserving.
1t is only within recent years that old meth
ods have been called in question and excited
an interest that promises to suffer no DIM
mutton until some more humane and bene-
ticial system has been adopted. To that end
many suggestions have been made by per-
sons whom it would seem only required
to be escorted through one or two prisons
on flying visit in order to comprehend the
subject and be confident of their ability to
elucidate the entire problem. Such people
retard rather than advance the cause.
At this time there are numerous large
hearted and clear headed wardens and other
officials in connection with prisons all over
the country. who have had long experience
in the management of criminals, and know
whereof they speak when they give their
testimony, as some of them have, in de-
nunciation of old methods, and in their ad-
vocacy of more beneficial system; but
when they see people step to the front as
leaders in penoogy who have viewed the
science in the light of their own theoretical

signs; enough to encourage the hope that
detention and punishment will be secondary
considerations in the prisons of the future;

most discards the punishment principle and
devotes the detention of offenders to their
