At the St. Pancras infirmary there was
a female patient suffering from melan-
cholia, to whom they played lullaby.
After the performance she told nurse
that she liked it very much. On this the
superintendent of the infrmary said,
"This is the first time she has spoken
for fortnight. Shortly afterward a
male patient suffering from delirium
tremens was brought into the ward On
hearing the first notes of the music he
became quite calm and attentive, though
his attendant had been half afraid to

quently obtained by the guild, and they
are certainly most encouraging. They
are all, it will be seen, in the direction
of distracting the mind from pain and
soothing mental irritation In order to
test the hypnotic effect of soft music the
guild made the experiment of playing
lullabies to ward of IA patients, along
with DR.. Collins one Of the physicians
to the hospital. In spite of distracting
noises, unhappily inseparable from the
ward of a London hospital, they got the
following results: DR.. Collins found it
an effort to keep awake" four patients
were actually sent to sleep, some liked
it too well to Sleep and others felt

The Earth's Temperature.

One of the most learned of modern
biologists, Sir William Thomson, has
expressed the opinion that for the last
SO, 900, 900 years the rate of increase OF
the earth's temperature under ground
has gradually diminished from about
one-tenth to about onefiftieth of de-
gree F. per foot. The present argument,
however, as to the date of the consolida-
ton of the earth, based ON the assump-
ton that the earth is simply a cooling
globe, is met with serious objections,
one of the most forcible being that as
the solidifcation of the earth probably
began from the middle and spread td
the surface it is not only possible but
likely that after firm crust had been
formed the upper portion still retained
some degree of viscosity. If, then, the
interior be viscous, some tidal oscilla-
tions must take place in it, and these
being subject to friction heat must be
generated in the viscous portion, and
the diurnal rotation of the earth must
be retarded According to the supposi
ton of an eminent scientist-viz, thai
it is only those strata which are
within some hundreds of miles of the
surface which are viscous, while the
central portion is rigid-then, wher
tidal friction does its work, the same
amount Of heat is generated as on the
hypothesis of the viscosity of the entire
planet, but instead of being distributed
throughout the whole mass, and princi
pally toward the middle, it is now to b
found in the more superficial layers

THE BLACK DEATH.
Its Dreadful Visitation to England In the
Fourteenth Century.

Its Dreadful Visitation to England In the
Fourteenth Century.
In England during the black death s
first and most dreadful visitation in
1348-9 it was noticed that it carried off
an enormous number of the laborers in
the country villages, the poor and the
workmen in the towns, the monks and
nuns and friars-that is, all that por-
tion of the population who were ill
housed, ill clothed, i'll nurtured. OF, like
those in the religious houses, lived ha-
among whom the practice of asceticism
in various forms te2ded to bring about
a weakening of their stamina and their
vital power.
On the other hand, the mortality
among the clergy was far in excess of
that among any other class, and this
can be attributed only to their noble
self sacrifice i'll the discharge of theil
ministerial duties among their parish
toner's. Breathing day and night the
pestilential air, working heroically
among the people in every stage of the
disease, comforting the dying and bury
ing the dead in the huge pits that We're
dug to contain the putrid corpses, the
priests dropped by thousands into the
same graves in which they had helped to
lay their people, and before the year was
out the supply of clergy had begun to
fall short very seriously over all the
land
At Florence, Boccaccio tells us, sit
became necessary to dig trenches, into
which the bodies were put by hundreds,
laid in rows, as goods packed in a ship
A little earth was cast upon each sue
cessive layer until the pits were filled to
the top" At Avignon several, almost
as soon as they were seized with the sick
ness, "were carried Off to the pit and
buried And in this way many were
buried alive" At Vienna "the dead
were buried in trenches, each Of which,
according to one chronicle, contained
some 5000 corpses. % In London Sir
Walter Nanny provided new cemetery,
more than 3 acres in extent, ''in respect
of the danger that might befall in this
time of so great plague and infection. !"

A Clever Dog.

Scarcely anything is lacking i'll the
mental furniture of this psychological
dog to make him the equal of baby 2
years old, except thinking in words,
and who can prove that he is destitute
of this faculty, although not possessing
articulate speech? One evening while L
was giving my plants drink he caine
to me several times, asking me to have
the gate opened Not caring to lay down
the hose, 1 paid little heed to his teas
ings, and he determined to compass his
purpose in another way. To the front
door he went, and pressing it found it
not latched, but requiring some force to
throw it open. Then he backed out the
full width of the veranda, and running
threw his weight so violently against
the door as to drive it open. Very soon
he reappeared with his mistress, to
whom he had made his supplication, and
she, without knowing of his failure
with me, opened the gate and gave the
little fellow his coveted freedom. 1t
should be explained in regard to the wit
shown in opening a heavy or sticking
door that Toots acquired his experience
with fly door closed by the reaction of
spring He found by experiments that
if with his fore paws he pressed this
door open just far enough to emit his
body it would spring to and pinch his
tail, and that by retreating and running
the whole length of a small entry he
would impart momentum enough to
open the door wide and thus clear his
tail, at the same time letting out de-
pendent companion. This act, am in
clined to think, is little smarter than
is usual in 2-year-old child. Popular

Might not "catter-cornered" be only a

quartered by lines through the corners

lines at right angles to the sides? This
etymology seems to be confirmed by a
