London, June 22.-The members OF the
Northern judicial Circuit, including the
lord chancellor, the lord chief justice
and other high officials, today rendered
n complimentary dinner to Mr.. Gully,
the recently appointed speaker Of the
house of commons, Considerable inn
portance Is attached to this high In
dorsement OF the new speaker, espe-
clally In view of the obstreperous OBJ
Iectionswith which his appointment was
greeted In certain circles, and which
threatened at n time to result In open
hostility. The position has always been
considered as above party and factional
disputes. and hence some alarm was
felt that another time honored tradition
might be trampled In the dust.

A recent investigator has explained
very simply the stimulating effect Of
hot water. Alcohol or my other slim
ulant produces the effect Of heat by act
ing on the heart and other muscles Of
circulation, increasing the motion Of
the blood. This is followed by a reac-
tion which does not ensue when hot
water is used as a stimuIant, because
the particles of the water are already
in very rapid motion as a result OF FIX.
ternal heat applied to them. This mo-
ton is communicated to the blood as
soon as the water enters the circulation
and 1t gives the same effect of stimula'
tion as is produced from alcohol-ex
cept. of course, that alcohol is an in
t~oxicant as well as a stimulant.
