esting one. 1t has been so arranged

HANGING.
its Thrss Stages and the Sensations Ex-
berIenced.

~ have made tho subject OF death
by hanging long study" said DR..
ID. S Lamb, an ex-surgeon Of the
United States army. From my
observations and experiences. dur
ing my experience in the army. l
feel justified in saying that death by
hanging is the most exaggerated OF
all modes 1t may be immediate and
without symptoms. but the subject
must pass through three stages be-
fore death. In the first stage the
victim passes into u partial stupor.
lasting from thirty seconds to two
minutes, but this is generally gov
erned by the length of the drop. tho
weight OF the body and the tight
ness OF the construction. There is
absolutely no pain in this stage; the
feeling is rather one Of pleasure.
The subjective symptoms described
are intense heat in the head, brill
liant flashes OF light in the eyes. deaf
ening sounds in the ears, and q
heavy, numb feeling in the lungs I
don't believe there are any
voluptuous feelings; US has been sug-
gested In the second stage the
subject passes into unconsciousness,
and convulsions usually occur. In
the third stage all is quiet except
the beating of the heart. just be-
fore death the agitation is renewed.
but in different way than in the
second state. The feet are raised.
the tongue has a peculiar spasm. tho
chest heaves. tho eyes protrude from
the orbits and oscillate from side to
side, and the pupils dilate. The
pulse can, in most cases. be felt ten
minutes after the drop. once knew
u man who was desirous OF ascer-
tanning if there was any suffering by
hanging, and in order to find out he
placed rope around his neck and
stepped Off a bench intending to step
back again. but he became immedi-
ately Unconscious, and would have
died in few moments had it not
been for the timely arrival OF u
friend: He said he experienced all
the feelings that l mentioned In the
first stage"

The low price of silver in Paris has
stimulated the inventive genius of a
manufacturer, who has consequently
made a new metal by means of an al

degree of strength, and most valua bic

The Bib:e In Japan.

According to the British and For
eign bible society. there is little
chance for circulation of the bible
in Japan. The society says of Japan:
1.-The progress of Christianity seems
to pause before tho absorption Of
the people in their new political
passions. Some visitors to Japan
say that the trouble is that the
Japanese, eager to receive every
thing of Western civilization. have
welcomed the missionaries of all
sects of Christianity. and now are
greatly puzzled over the rival claims

wanted to smoke the best cigars at the cheap

highest quality and corresponding price, and
immediately insured the whole stock When
he had smoked tho last of them he demanded
$50 marks from the insurance company on
the grounds that the whole Of his insured
stock, ten boxes OF cigars, had been con-
sumed by fret The Solomonic court decided
In favor of the plaintiff.

of having Intentionally put fire to his own
cigars and deliberately destroyed his prop
