Pictet recently put before the French
academy of medicine the whole sys-

by experimenting on dogs. and found
that when they were plunged into a
bath at low temperature and were
kept there for some time they became
raveneusly hungry. Being himself a
sufferer from stomach disease. he had
forgotten what it was TO have an ap-
petite. So he descended into the re-
hrigerating tank at temperature
many degrees below zero He wrapped
a thick pelisse and other warm clothes
about him, but after four minutes ne
began TO feel hungry. At the end OF
eight minutes he climbed out of the
tank with a painfully keen appetite.
Many such experiments swere made
All meals, taken after short stay in
the refrigerator. agreed with him. He
found that his dyspepsia was cured az

Although Empress Haruko of Japan,
in public at any rate, manifests the
same degree of religious veneration for
the sacred person of the mikado that
is exacted from the remainder Of his
subjects, yet she Is credited with dis
playing in private something very much
akin to contempt for his seni-divine at
tributes. Whereas he Is distinctly dull
and heavy, both physically and men,

nowned for her cleverness, her enlight-
ened ideas, and for her strength of
character. In Japan, as elsewhere in
the orient, women are expected 20 re-
main obsequiously in the background
and to follow meekly in the wake of

better half of the two, makes her hus-
band yield TO her superior intelligence
