lays, bit no Chemist now believes it;
although we do not yet know where
sithe- the European or American
swift spends its winters. Information
therefore may be possibility to all
creatures, since we find among the
mammals the most perfect hearted
prscticing it. There is creditable
testimony that in India men have
gone into voluntary suspension of all
the functions-been buried for weeks
and resuscitated by another who I'M
derstood the process. Since the
tendency of modern biology is to
prove that all life has come up
from the orders below, and they form
a germ, and since germs are capable Of
retaining life IN dormant state for
long time, it might therefore be ar
gued that all creatures by the ten
dency of reversion to type may be capa-
bic of torpid condition under the
proper environment. Man in the flu
ture cycles may be able thus to avert
the Malthusian catastrophe by shelv-
ing himself in times Of scarcity or
shelving all the family, with one or
two alone remaining awake to arouse
the others at the proper season.
Doubtless the return OF the seasons in
polar and temperate regions is a
rhythm of these alternating and
awakening circumstances, and ''in the
spring. the turning of the young
mans fancy" is but in keeping with
the general law. SomnambulisIn,
trance, and all cataleptic states have
much in them akin to the true condi-
tions of Information.
alternating animals are said always
to go into torpidity with a large sur
plus of fat. 1t is averred that bears
will not hibernate unless they have
this surplus. 1t is often only the fe-
males and young bears that sleep, the
old males remaining active. 1t is quite
certain thet this is the case with the
polar species. AS this adipose is
heavy hydro-carbon, it is supposed by
some that the carbon, as is well
known, usually has tendency to pro-
duce stupor. Rev. Wood has suggested
that bears love for sweets may be a
part of this economy-for sugar is a
large fat producer; but since marnots,
squirrels, snakes, reptiles, etc, all are
said TO possess this fat but do not eat
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-03-22

being in no sense condition of repair,
is one of the strictest economy. Itmay
be said to be a rythmical recurrence,
as natural as sleep, dependent upon
natural conditions. Pets among hi
bernators have this tendency at the
approach of winter, though the tenn
perature of the room be that of sum-
mer, while on the contrary animals
that hibernate north are active the
year through further south. Even the
frog has been made to keep awake all
winter by proper surroundings.
1t might be thought that cold only
was the inducing cause of this sleep,
were it not well known that certain
pid state (called @stivation) to avoid
The drought and heat OF those regions.
They ball themselves in mud, and,
baked dry. exhibit all the phenomena
of true Information. Since the con-
dition in the higher animals seems one
of cold-bIooded state, we might ex-
pect the faculty to be more largely de-
veloped in simple hearted families,
which is indeed the case. All cold
ton easily and early-except ish-only
q few of which, like the GELS, etc, are
known to grow torpid. But this ex-
ception is largely because the effects
of environment come in again. They
Fan keep in a temperature that never
falls below thirty-two degrees. Should
they be frozen stiff into ice they lose
consciousness, but may often be re-
yived by warmth.
Extreme cold, however, is rs fatal TO
alternating animals as TO any others,
SO that they usually take good care to
get beyond the frost limit as well as TO
conceal themselves from disturbance.
Because of the excitability of the heart,
Il is said that some hibernatorS may be
stimulated to death by sudden awaken
lngs.
Now Information ranges IN degree
from this complete torpor TO occasion
al drowsy spells which. in the loss OF
consciousness, are only 4 little below
ordinary sleep. Many mammals. like
the porcupine, skuaks, etc, abstain
from food and activity for weeks, but
cannot be said To truly hibernate

active hearts and highest temperature,

cidentaL
Among the carnivorous the bears
already mentioned and the badgers are
| the only true hibernators, but the rae
coon shows his kinship to the former
| enough to be like him in extreme
| spells. 1t is among the rodents that
we find the largest class of mammals
| with this habit. Strange as it may
seem it is among the spermophiles or
seed-lovers that it generally prevails.
| They are pouch-cheeked family with
bo:h the means and instinct of stor-
| ing winter supplies-a condition it
would seem favorable to activity,
while beavers, muskrats, hares, moles,
etc, that depend on growing things,
and weasels, minks, sl1unks, opossuIns,
etc, that depend largely on living
things, have never acquired the habit.
The seed-storing habit, however, in
plies that in the warmer days of win
ter these creatures awake and take
food Prominent among these are the
squirrels (spermophiles) ground SPUR
rels (tamias) gophers (geomys) and
70 a certain extent our common tree
| squirrels. The marmots, including
our woodchuck or ground hog and the
various species of prairie dogs of the
west, are very similar TO the sper-
mophiles in their toTpor, but their
food IS much more succulent,
and much less capable of being
stored. This may account for the
traditional February appearaneeo of the
woodchuck, for if he wakes and is
hungry he must come abroad 70 eat.
The only remaining mammals that l
can now recall which hibernate are
our bats They seek caverns and
crevices and hang up by the thumbs
and toes the winter through. II is
said, however, that their diurnal sleep
exhibits all the physiological pbenome-
na of true Information.
II is well known that insects and
spiders hibernate. The continuation

some caterpillars lie dormant outside

mollusks go into torpidity early. Our
common snail is en- interesting exam

fall il may be observed how they seal
themselves up for this purpose.
Perhaps the first creature not an in

tinuous torpor OF winter is the little
cricket frog whose peep" usually in

Is much deadened; but in Information,
muscles respond to small electric cur

ceases-often so completely that the

 The delay of the jury in reaching a ver- dict evidently gave him and his counsel grounds for believing that there would bs a disagreement. Ths gallery spectators were true to their post and swarmed into the court room to let their chief know that they were still with him. The officers could not prevent an enor- nous crowd from collecting and making . loud hum, but when Justice Bartlett came in at 9:30 hush fell over the buszers. The judge made 1t known that he would hold court open all day. Everybody uas | speculsting ss to how the jury stood. The favorite rumor made them 10 to for con, yiction.

 that the verdict was guilty. McKsne's fac. did not change very much, but the friends | around him showed distress.

BLOWN UP BY HIS OWN BOMB.

Martial Bourdin, ,an Anarchist Found
 In a Mutilated Condition in Green.
 wfch Park In London-It is Believed
 He Intended to Blow Up the Observ.
 atory.
 LONDON, Feb. 15.-A loud explosion was heard just after nightfall by the keepers of Greenwich park, about six miles from Lon don bridge. A nasty search led to the dis covery of man mutilated and grooming with pain on the hilltop near the observa- tory. His legs were shattered. One arm had been blown from his body, and he had been almost completely disembovelled. As soon as he became conscious of the keep ers' presence he begged them to help him or kill him. He became insensible within five minutes, and ten minutes after being carried to the Seamen's hospital he died.
 English and French papers found in the mans pocket showed that he was Msrtisl Bourdin, foreign anarchist. A peculiar powder in a package which he had carried with him was not recognized by the police and 1t has been sent to government experts for snslysis.
 A hurried investigation of Boardin's life here goes to show that he was 6 member of dangerous anarchist conspiracy. He was one of the foreign refugees and is believed to have been iu London but e few months. He and his colleagues frequepted the notorious Autonomie club, in Grafton street, Tottenham Court road. Bourdin's exact intention in making his trip to Greenwich has not been sscertsined. The papers in his pockets give no clue to 1t, sl- though the first inference was that he in- tended to blow up the observatory, but was prevented from doing 60 by the prema- ture explosion.
 The increasing activity of the Autono- mic club has been noticed recently by the police. Detectives have been watching the club house constantly, as well as nearby house in Windmill strest, where many | anarchist refugees have lodged. The oo- | cupants of this house have been in con- | stant communication with anarchists on the continent. Emile Henry, who threw | the bomb in the cafe of the Hotel Termi- | nus, has visited them within the last year, | and he Is believed to have obtained from ! them the explosives which he used in his bomb on Monday night
 | The dodgers in the Windmill street house | apparently discovered few days ago that they were watched, and several of them
 vanished on the morning after the eIplo-
 sion under the Hotel Terminus. Bourdln
 was about twenty-five years old. Hi. | clothing was of fine texture. A paper found on him indicates that be last came to London early this month.

Lying among the merchantmen was the ineurgent steamer Marte. The latter fired three shots at the launch, but all three went wild doing nc damage.
 A press representative saw the captain of the Marte yesterday and questioned him as to why he had fired on the American boat. The captain declared he did no know that the launch was American.

VIOLATED THE LAW.

It Is Charged That Bx-Postmaster | General Wanamaker Imported Con- tract Laborers From Ireland. NEW YoRK, Feb. 15.-The immigration authorities believe they have c case of vio. lstion of the alien labor law against tr. Postmaster General WanAmsker. Inspect or Wahle today took to Ellis Island, on suspicion of being contract laborsrs, W.T. liam Tmmins, lace weaver; Bridget Gal lAghsr, lace spinner; Owen Curren, wood carver; and Hugh Fensy, weaver. The four had come from Philadelphia. and were looking for their baggage preparatory to sailing for Europe. Timmins said they had all come from Minrsduff, County Don egsl, Ireland.
 Through correspondence with the Done gel Industrial Fund, whose hesdquarters are In London, Timmins received e con- tract paper for himself and his three com Panions providing that they were to work for q . week each and board and 70 to any part of the United States. They signed the contract and received tickets from Liverpool to New York. They ar rived here December 8 and at Philadelphia were met by Mir. Whitten acting for Mrs Ernest Hart. He put them at work in Mrs. Hart's lace department In the wsnA- maker building.
 This work continued until month sgo, when they were informed that they must return to Ireland. Mrs. Hart saw them of ct Philadslphia on Wednesday, handing them their steamship tickets. Sec. ond cabin passage had been prom ised them, but their tickets called for the steersgs only. After arriving here they could not find their baggage and 1t was owing to this mishsp that they came under the questioning eye of the laR. Timmips said their wages had always been paid them by MT. Wsnamaker's cashier, Mrs. Coyle, and that Mrs. Hart WAS head of MT. Wsnsmaker's lace department
 The examination will be continued to- morrow. The authorities say they are de- termined to prosecute the case. The pen alty for violation of the alien contract la- bor law is q 900 for each offense.
 PHLADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-Robert O. Os- den, partner of eI Postmaster General Wsnsmsker, was seen tonight in relation to the charge sgsinst the firm by the cus- toms authorities at New York that they had violated the alien contract labor law by importing under contract Irish lscemsk- CTS and wesvers to work in their store. MT. Ogden said the firm had nothing 10 do with bringing the people here, but they were brought by Mrs. Hart, and that the space was given her in the Wsnsmaker store as an act of courtesy that she might show here the practical results of the work of her pupils from the Donegal industrial school. Mrs. Hart confirmed this state ment
