Do Fatal Falls Hurt?

as far as all available evidence goes
che answer is certainly not. Horrible
as the idea of fall from great height
IS 5u5 ths ve8Rsgisnes e8 Is not only painless
pie have experienced what ought to
have been fatal falls, and have escaped
by a miracle. Their experience is
unanimous in showing that serious
falls are painless. Not only is their
no pain, but there is even any terror.
The victim knows exactly what is 60
ing on, and actually hears himself fall
ing from point to point, although he
ioes not feel the conclusion. Mr..
Whymper, who has perhaps had more
bad falls than any living man, says
that he once fell and rebounded from
:ock to rock in the Alps, and felt abso-
lutely no pain, though he heard him
self strike. The mind acts so rapidly
that the experiences Of fall of few
moments will sometimes take an hour
10 describe afterwards. AS in drown
ing, the whole previous life seems to
dash with dream-like rapidity through
The mind, and this gives place by de
tightful stages to dreamless uncon-
;ciousness. Among the ancient Morse
men, an old warrior, who had had the
misfortune not to fall in battle, usu-
ally threw himself from the top of a
cliff, to gain admittance to Valhalla.
The pleasant experiences of those who
1ad fallen and escaped alive may have
lad something to do with the practice
and belief.

Muscle Development.

Some recent scientific researches,
Hhich can doubtless be trusted, show
that the weight Of muscles OF animals
was increased 40 per cent. by a proper
periodic application of an electric cur
rent, the growth being a true develop
nent Of the muscle. According to
this it will now be possible to increase
to order size of any desired muscle
without tiresome gymnast;c exercises
by simply lying in a soft chair and
having the current applied. This, we
suggest, might be done at night by.an
automatic apparatus, thus saving time:
Persons who are Improperly developed
NAV now be balanced or "trued up"
muscles shruken by age may now be
made plump again. Calves, which ma
ture or exercise have failed to develop
sufficiently, will now no longer be a
drawback to wearing knee breeches, or
the short blooners of the female bicy-
cii5t. The question naturally sug-
gests itself what will happen if this
process Of developing muscles elec-
trically is continued still longer? If
some way is then found to develop the
bones the manufacture of giants by
electrical means will be an easy mat

For a Parrot.

The affection of men and women for
animals has led to many strange ad-
yentures-and to none more thrilling,
perhaps, than one which occurred lately
in New York City. In fye-story
apartment-house, the first floor and
basement were occupied by an apothe-
cary. In this basement sudden and
fierce fire was caused by the explosion
of some chemical preparations; and
the flames spread so rapidly that the
occupants Of the upper tenementsWere
unable to reach the street. However,
they escaped to the roof, where they
could pass to the roofs Of the adjoining
buildings.
Among the people who escaped to
the roof was an elderly lady, Mrs. Leary
bv name. She suddenly flew into a
state Of distress upon remembering
that she had left her parrot, a tenderly
cherished pet, in the rooms below. AT
the risk Of her life, she went down te
get it.
She secured The bird, but when she
ATTEMPTED to regain the roof she found
her way completely barred by the fire.
She could pass neither up nor down.
All she could do was to go to a Win
dow and mingle her screams with those
of the parrot, which She held in he'
arms.
An attempt was made to reach hel
,,,,- ti,:s Jn;D -
sible. She was about to jump ou5 OF
the window, when the people below
shouted that fireman Was coming
down to her from above.
This was the case. Several fremen
were ON the roof. One of them, Den
MS Ryer by name, tied a strong rope
around his body, and his comrades low
cred him to the window at which stood
Mrs. Learv and her parrot. 1t was at
the risk of his life, for the flames were
already enveloping the front OF the
building. ,
Rver reached the window and seized
Mrs. Leary firmly in his arms. Then
the firemea on the roof carried or
dragged them both along until they
were opposite window of the adjoin-
ing building. Through this window
Ryer thrust his human burden, and
then climbed in himself. AS soon as
be had seen tie woman to place CT
safety, Ryer returned to his regular
duties in extinguishing the fire. Mrs,
Leary chung to the parrot through it
all; but, to her great grief, the bird was
auffocated during the rescue.

How Soap Cleanses.

Most persons have very indistinct
IDEAS Of the manner in which soap acts
in removing dirt. This is not SO SIM
pie matter as it may seem, for even
chemists have been more or less puz-
zled by it; although there is now SUBJ
stantaI agreement among them as to
the chemistry of the process. One of
the explanations of the cleansing ac-
ton Of soap is due to a suggestion
made by no less famous a man Of
science than Prof. w. Stanley Jevons.
1t is generally considered that the
efficacy Of soap depends mainly upon
its decomposition, when It is mixed
with water, into an alkaG and fatty
acid.
The alkaL thus set free dissolve The
grease by which the dirt is attached to
the surface to be cleaned, and the wa
ter then carries the dirt off. But this
is not all; the fatty acid from the soap
neutralizes any free alkali remaining
after the loosening of the dirt, and
thus prevents the alkai from attack
ing the cleansed surface itself. This
is very important when soap is applied
to the skin, and the painful effects pro-
duced by some varieties of soap are
due to the fact that they possess an
excess of free alkali, more than the
fatty acids can neutralize.
But there are other factors concered
in the action of soap. Its cohesive
power, upon which the formation of
soap-bubbles and lather depends, en-
ables it to gather up the dirt as it is
loosened by the alkali. Then, too, the
process is assisted by the curious prop
erty which soap possesses of produc-
ing a great agitation among solid
particles suspended in water.
This, of course, tends to the read,
removal Of the dirt after it has been
detached from the surface, and it is
his action that Prof. Jevons has
pointed out as being one Of the ele-
nents of the cleansing power of soap

OVERRUlED BY THEIR WIVES.
A Case Where All the Justices OF the SUI
preme Court Changed Their Minds.


prsme Court Changed Their Minds
1t was a matter of some surprise that
Justice Shiras, of the United States su-
preme court, should have changed his
mind within a few weeks upon a matter
of law, but il is not many months since
the whole court changed their mind on
such a matter, and that in the course of
a few days.
The ease before the court, SAYS the
New York Sun. was one arising out OF
customs decision at this port, and the
counsel arguing against the decision of
the custom house was a New York law
yer, then for the first time before the
supreme court. The case turned main
ly upon the question whether an article
of importation should or should not be
classed as Il sauce. The custom house
had called ii a sauce and taxed ii ac-
cordingly. The government maintained
this contention, and, of course, the
New York lawyer sought to show that
the article should not be claSSed as a
sauce
When the supreme court came To- con
suit upon the case their unanimous
opinion was favOra BILE to the contention
of the government, and one of the JUS
tices was instructed to prepare de
cision in favor of the custom house.
The Justice, on returning home, told
his wife of the case, and Indicated the
ground of the decision; whereupon the
lady told him in plain words that the
justices of the supreme court did not
know what they were talking about,
and had agreed upon an un just dcCi-
sion. The lady was entirely clear that
the article in dispute could not proper
ly be called sauce, and openly ridi-
culed the court.
The perpleXed justice, instead of pre-
pairing the decision in accordance with
the instructions of his brethren, did
nothing in the matter, but at the next
opportunity unfolded to the other JUS
tices his wife's view of the matter, and
asked them To seek domestic counsel ON
the case and report at the next con
sultation of the court. When that con
sultation came round the justices, hav-
ing taken feminine counsel, all report
ed against the original view that the
article involved in the case should be
clasSed as a sauce, and accordingly the
justice originally charged with the task
of preparing decision in favor of the
government was now instructed to pre-
pare one in favor of the New York law
yer's client 1t thus happened that the
lawyer won his first case before the su-
preme court because the wives of the
justices knew more than the court it
self
