The father of all the wills and the
most ancient document of its kind
know to historians and antiGuarians 10
that of "the great King Sennacherib,"
who is frequently mentioned in the
Scriptures, and also by Josepkus and
Herodotus. Sennacherib lived and
reigned between 702 and $50 B. c., and
in his WILL, which was written upon
tablet OF clay, and which was found in
the ruins of the royal palace. he gives
his sons certain stores of precious
things" at that time deposited in the
temple of Nebo. These same sons. by
the way, afterward killed their father
while at his devotions.-Golden Days.

1t is claimed that paper-pulp water
pipes have been tried in London with
success. Besides being durable and
inexpensive, they are free from the
usual corroding influences affecting
metal pipes, and, moreover, are free
from the clectrolytic effects of the
electric current employed in street rail-
way systems.
An aluminium quadrant has been
devised to measure the actinic power of
the Roentgen rays. The aluminium is
arranged in concentric layers ranging
from one to ten millimetres in thick

screen, or a sensitizcd plate.

The agricultural returns for Great
Britain for the year 1895 were recently
issued from the board of agriculture.
The shrinkage of land under the plow,
which has long been notable in Great
Britain. has not only continued. but has
been accentuated by the unpropitious
character of the autumn seed time Of
1894 and early spring of 1898. More
than $4,000 acres less wheat were
grown, and $1,000 acres less appear
under the minor grain crops, rye and

The recent Armenian massacre is the
third perpetratcd by the Turks Oh
Christians since 1860, when, in Damascus
and Lebanon, $4,000 followers of Christ
were foully murdered. The we'll
known Bulgarian atrocities occurred
II years later. The sultan has decornt-

these butcheries. AS reward for the
late Armenian massacres he has given
four new flags to the Kurdish regiment
concerned in them and bestowed q

Luminous Sea Crab.

One of the marine curiosities recently
fshcd from the bottom of the India1
ocean by a dredging vessel in the en1-
ploy of the Calcutta Society Of Natural
History was mammoth sea crab which
continually emitted q bright white
light similar to that seen in the spas
modic flashes of phosphorescent lumin-
osity, kindled by our common firefies.
The oddity was captured in daytime
and placed in a large tank. nothing
peculiar except its immense size being
noticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. AT night, however, when
all was IN pitchy darkness, the crab sur
prised the naturaaists by lighting up
the tank so that all the other sea crets-
lures, great and small, occupying the
same tank could be plainly seen. When
the luminous crustacean was protlded
with pole he emitted flashes of light
which enabled the expcrimeuters to
read small print. even though otherwise
they were in total darkness.-St. Louis

TWO ExISTENCES.

How Double Consciousness Appeared
After . Case Of Meningitis.
At q recent meeting of the Clinical so
ciety q distinguished suburban practi-
tioner, whose name is withheld, showed
a girl. IL years of age, who exhibited
in the most complete and indubitablc
form the condition known as dual ex-
istence," or double consciousness"
Last year, after q severe illness,
which was diagnosed to be meningitis.
she became subject to temporary at.
tacks of Inconsistencies, on awaken
ing from which she appeared in an en-
tirely different character. In her nor
NAL condition she could reed and write
and speak fiuently and with compare
tive correctness. In the altered mental
condition following the attack she loses
all memory of ordinary events, though
she can recall things that have taken
place during previous attacks. So COM
plete is this alteration of memory that
at first she was unable to remember
even her own name, or to identify her
self or her parents. By patient training
in the abnormal condition, she has been
enabled to give things their name,
though she still preserves baby fash
ion of pronouncing.
She sometimes remains in the abnor
NAL condition for days together, and
the change to her real self takes place
suddenly, without exciting surprise or
dismay, and she forthwith resumes pos
session Of her memory for events Of her
ordinary life, to the exclusion of those
which have transpired during the abnor-
NAL state. During the last month or
SO. she appears to have entered on q new
phase. for, after q mental blank of q
fortnight's duration, she awakened com.
pletely oblivious of all that has hap
pened since June 1895, and she alludes
to events which took place just anterior
to that date ~ though they were Of
quite recent occurrence; in fact, she Il

These cases. though rare, are, OF
course. not infrequently met with, and
they have been carefully studied, espe-
cially in France. The hypothesis that
hnds most favor IL that the two
halves of the brain do not work in uni-
son; in other words, that there has
been some interference with the con-
nections which in the ordinary normal

ite organ like the brain one organic

brain and sometimes the other takes
possession of the held Of physical ac-

exclusion of the other, we get the Dr..

Men and Women Deck Themselves With
Small Lanterns.
The last new craze in Paris Is
said to be the wearing Of lighted
lantern ,as a personal ornament.
The fashion has not been adopted
in honor of NJ. Rochefort, the once
dreaded "Lanterne" man, but ORR
ginated with a speculative manu-
facturer, whose petites lanternes
were bought by tens OF thousands
at the fair of Neuilly.
The lantern is, very small and
neat, and made in Gothic form
after an ancient model. 1t is only
of tin, but is sufficiently solid; it
has well-fitted glass plates, is
about the size of a walnut, burns
for some hours and is sold at the
price of six sous.
Almost every body who returned
from the fair to Paris, a CORES
pondent Of the Westminster
Gazette" writes, looked as if he
were outwardly symbolizing the
Midsummer Saint John the Bap-
fist, ga burning and a shining
light" The men and boys had the
little lanterns in their hats, and
the ladies carried them in their
bouquets.
