When Your Head Is on.

AS human curiosity has never been
satisfied as to the precise moment Of
death in cases of behcading, the ac-
count of the experiment on u decapi-
tatcd criminal communicated to a
French medical journal by leading
scientist of Lyons is of absorbing in
tercst This time the results arc more
satisfactory than has hitherto been the
case; the doctor making the following
statement with regard to the manifes-
tations of consciousness after the head
had been separated from the body: 1.
That the head, on being separated from
the body, remains in possession of all
its faculties, if the hemorrhage does
not pass certain limits. .. The proper
ton of oxygen in the blood is sufficient
for keeping mp the nervous functions
for brief space, never exceeding a
half-minutc. 8. That the repeated
opening and closing of the jaws after
the separation of the head from the
body are nothing but the reflex action
common in cases of acute asphyXia.

The grip of an ants jaw is retained

and nothing but the head remains.
tain tribe of Indians in Brazil, who put
the ants to u very peculiar use. When
an Indian gets cash cut in his hand,
instead of having his hand sewn to-
gethcr, as physicians do in this coun-
country, he procurcs five or six large
black ants, and, holding their heads
near the cash, they bring their jaws to-
gcthcr in biting the flesh, and thus pull
the two sides of the cash together.
Then the Indian pinches off the bodies
of the ants and leaves the heads cling
ing to the flesh, which is held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.

width So feet. and depth 90 feet, with q
carrying power of "a, 600 tons, or $4,000

White Star and Inman lines, and con-
tanned accommodation for 800 first-class
passengers, 1000 sccond-class, and l.
200 third-in all 1000 passengers The
expectations of those Interested in the
vessel were disappointed in regard to
its speed, which did not exceed
fifteen miles an hour, and no
sooner had she gone to sea than
she met with Il series of accidents which
appeared for time to destroy public
confidence in the vessel as a sca-poinr
passenger ship. Some damage was
caused by an explosion on board Il few
days after putting to sea, which was
attended with fatal result. Then the
huge ship encountered great gale in
Ilolyhcad harbor, and afterwards was
disabled by Il hurricane in the Atlantic,
when off Cape Clear, on her homcward
voyage from America, in which her
rudder and paddles were so damaged
that she rolled about for several DAYS

have been quoted us an illustration of
the i'll luck which seemed to follow the
undertakings of the Brupels. Among
others may be mentioned the Thames

failure. One circumstance which can
always be satisfactorily connected with
its short existence upon the water is
that of having laid the Atlantic cable
between Great Britain and America in
1850. The picture represents the huge

sta raporeu, rnougn one prominent
operator found it a losing game. Wheat
is 80 abundant that it would be diff
cult crop to corner, but there can now
be no doubt but that the European de-
mand will surprise even those who have
realized @at it will be unprecedented.
As the price of wheat is of interest not
only 10 the farmers and spectators, but
the people in general, it is just as well
for them to know in time that European
powers are already active in purchasing
on options at moderate prices large
amounts of our cereals.
If it should turn out that the whole
affair is but an effort to boom the
market, no great harm will have been
done. except to the buyers on margins,
and if, on the other hand, the reports are
as true as they are plausible and proba-
BILE, then great benefit to American
farmers and people in general will have
been done by the publication of reports
that seem founded on facts.

named Dempster. swallowed by accident a
knife nine inches long Medical assistance
was procured, but all efforts to recover the
knife through the mouth were fruitless.
The report in the Carlisle Dispensary says.
1.-THE surgeons were unanimously agreed
as to the best mode of treating this extraor-
binary case; they were of opinion that
nothing but an operation could save the
patients life, but he could not be persuaded
to submit to it, He left the hospital on
Dec. %, 1928, to return home to London,
against the advice of the surgeons, for he
died on his road at Middlewick. in Cheshire,

The Grand Falls of Hamilton River,
Labrador.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. Mr..
Bryant, of Philadelphia, and Professor
Kenaston, of Washington, have arrived
here from an exploration of Grand Falls,
Labrador. Mr.. Bryant gives a glowing
account of the magnifcance of the falls.
A half-mile above the falls the river
is 400 yards wide. Three rapids, similar
to those at Niagara, begin here. The
banks narrow at the falls to a width Of
from 100 to 200 feet. The last rapid is
1873 feet in length. The water here rises
into great cones, then plunges down
from granite ledge into great basin.
The height Of the walls was accurate
ly measured, 1t is 3l6 feet The banks
widen below the basin. On the southern
side of the river, below the falls, reddish
cliffs rise 800 feet. Mist rises in a great
column over the falls, showing rain
bows.
The deafening roar is heard twenty
five miles off. Mr. Bryant took aneroid
readings and photographed the falls from
various points The party collected 200
specimens of plants, and made valuable
scientific records Mr. Bryant made
meteorological observations all through
the trip. Professor Kenaston made a
compass survey of the river all the way
down, sketChing its topography.
