Painless Falla

ut wasn't the fall l moiaded,- sail
Pat describing has sensation in falling
from a scaffold. "Begorra, I'd Of gone
on travelin' that way forever; 1t was
the stop at the ind that inconvanienced
me-" This seems to have been the ex-
perience Of many who have been pre-
cipitated from height: while falling
they were conscious of no pain, no ter
ror. though perfectly aware Of what
was ranspiring. Mr.. Whymper, who
has perhaps had more bad falls than
any living man, says that he once fell
and rebounded from rock to rock In
the Alps, and felt absolutely no pain,
though he heard himself strike. The
mind acts so rapidly that the expert.
ence of a fall Of a few moments will
sometimes take an hour to describe af-
terward. AS in drowning, the whole
previous life seems to flash with dream
like rapidity through the mind, and
this gives place by delightful stages
to dreamless unconsciousness. Among
the ancient Norsemen. an old warrior,
who had had the misfortune not to fall
In battle, usually threw himself from
the top of cliff to gain admittance to
Valhalla. The pleasant experiences of
those who had fallen and escaped alive
may have had something to do with the
practice and belief.
