Almost every one has a favorite position
during sleep, and no end of theories and be-
liefs is INDUCED in on the subject of the
proper position, location and general condi-
ton for that sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleeve of care" Many physicians argue
that one should cultivate the habit Of sleep
ing ON the right side, especially If one has
INDUCED in full meal late in the evening.
The food makes its exit from the stomach
on the right side, and it is for this reason
claimed that the position is more favorable
to digestion without effort. This is impor-
tant, as all of the faculties and functions
should have certain amount of rest, and
in no way is this as easily attainable as
during the hours of sleep.
Other authorities say that one should al
ways lie on the back, but there are excel.
lent reasons why this is not wise. The
weight of the stomach and its contents
rests upon the spine, which often affects the
nerves. Some severe cases of insomnia have
been cured by the habit of sleeping on the
face. This is easy to do and is the most
comfortable position if one dispenses with
the pillow. One young man, who had ex-
hausted all the skill of the doctors, fell
into the habit of lying on his face, with his
right arm under his head, which was turned
slightly to one side. By this change natu-
raj rest soon came to him, and he entirely
recovered. Whatever position one may
choose to take, a little practice will make II
comfortable, and the experiment Is well
worth trying. York Ledger.

The prevailing idea that the hot months

Exnerim.uts on Animals.

OF all the experiments made in con-
nection with the x rays, the oldest
are now being quietly conducted, it is
reported, in the physiological labora-
tory of the College of Physicians and
surgeons in New York. The intent of
the investigation ia to determine the
possibility of using the Roentgen rays
to impress images of objects on the
cortex of the brain.
Experiments made on animals gave
results regarded as most promising.
In one experiment bone lying in an
out of the way corner of the room had
been previously photographed. The
shayen skull of dog was exposed to
the influence of the picture by means
of the x rays. On being released after
sufficient exposure, the dog immedi.
ately hunted up the bone, showing
that there was an image of it in his
mind.
The image of fierce dog was i'm
pressed upon the brain of a rabbit.
On being released the rabbit evinced
signs of great fear-so great, indeed,
as to lead to the question whether in
sanity might not be produced by the
impressing of horrible images.

Extinction of Birds.

One cause which threatens the eS.
istence of many species of birds, if 1t
has not already produced the eXtermin-
alton of some, is the rage for wear
ing their feathers that now and again
seizes civilized women, who take their
ideas of dress from interested millin-
ers Of both sexes--persons who, hav-
ing bought large stock OF what are
known as "plumes' proceed to make
profit by declaring them to he in
fashion. The tender-hearted ladies
who buy them little suspect that some
of the large supplies required by the

breed gregariously, and that at their
very breeding time.
No havoc in these islands approaches
that which is perpetrated in some other
countries, especially. it is surmised, in
India, though there now contrary to
law; and the account Of the ravages
of a party of "bird plumers," at the
breeding stations on the coast Of Flor
ida, given by Mr.. w. e. D. Scott, who
in former years had seen them throng-
ed by a peaceful population, is simply
sickening. Did we not know what
lis feelings were, one might in read
ing his terrible narrative lose patience
with him for not expressing more
strongly his detestation of the bar
barities he recounts. But his absten-
ton is doubtless attributable to the
fact that his narrative appears in
q strictly scientific journal, where SEN
timental expressions would be out If
place. All efforts to awaken the coll
science Of those who tacitly encourage
this detestable devastation, and there
by share in its guilt, have hitherto fail
ed, and, unless laws to stop it be not
only passed, but enforced, it will go
OH till it ceases for want Of victims,
which, indeed, may happen very short
ly. Then mllliners will doubtless find
that artificial feathers can be made,

LATEST DEVICE FOR LIFE SAVING.

of life-have prompted the invention
of many more or less ingenious life
saving devices. One of the simplest,
and yet most valuable, is that lately
introduced by William Brandt, sail
maker, at Lubbock, Germany.
Substantially it is reproduction on
very large scale, of the life saving
belts or rings commonly found aboard
ships. But, besides its greater carry
ing capacity, it presents some novel
and sensible features, which enhance
its value.
Numerous partitions divide the belt
into watertight compartments, SO that
damage to any part does not material
ly affect the efficiency of the whole.
The great elasticity of the belt reduces
the danger of damage to minimum.
Despite its great size it is very
light. One man can easily roll it along
the deck and fling it overheard. 1t
does not matter how it strikes the
water-it invariably turns right side
up. The middle space is taken up by
strong network.
An important addition is that Of
ropes msde fast to the periphery of
the belt, and kept afoat by corks, SO
that persons several yards away from
the buoy can draw themselves to it.
Seven large men standing on it don't
appreciably sink the device, and when
it is considered how small the weight
of person partially supported by the
water is it will be seen that one belt
can save 3 large number of people.

a f'etrITed Woman.

At Runja, in the Punjab, q native
who had recently married for second
time was importuned by his new wife
to have the remains of wife No. ! re-
moved from their resting-place near a
mineral spring and deposited in the
village cemetery.
Preparations were made to that ef-
feet, laborers opening the grave in the
usual manner. When the wickerwork
basket in which the woman had been
Inferred was reached, and efforts made
to raise it, the weight of the receptacle
and its contents was found to be too
heavy for the four men engaged in the
work and the appliances at hand.
When the basket coffin was finally
hoisted to the surface one of the lab
orers removed the lid TO ascertain the
cause of the unusual weight. To the
surprise of all, it was found that the
coffin contained a solid stone figure, the
corpse having become perfectly petri-
fed. The husband removed the re-
mains to his home, where they now
are, and it is said that thousands are
daily viewing the wonder.

A UNIQUE Experience.

A unique experience, even in the an
nails of the sea, was that of the bark
Alice which reached Portland, Me-, o
few days ago after stormy voyage of
nineteen days from Turks Island, in
the caribbean. The bark carried
cargo of salt, and she had been out
but day when it was found that the
salt had struck through into the water
butts, and every drop of fresh water
aboard was ruined. The captain
hoisted signals of distress, and made
provisions for condensing as much
water as possible. Enough water was
condensed to provide half cupful for
every man aboard. 1t was five days
before vessel was sighted. The suf-
fering had been great and the situation
was growing desperate. The vessel
gave the Alice as much water as could
be spared, and the voyage was com
pleted with better, but still short
supply of water. The Alice had only
fourteen hours of good weather during
the trip.
