as pretty as ever, only bigger. And the
word OF the rulers was that he should wear
IL all, and thus work out his title to

Then the fun began. Wherever Faunt!e-

him dressed up SO. In immaculate misery

there are men in the society who cannot
make up their minds whether the. story
was literally and altogether true or not.
BURNETT IN THEATRICALS.
II will not be alone for his famous two
tla VS. promenade as Fauntleroy that young
Mr. Burnett will be remembered. He IS
a clever young man and popular with his
classmen, who though they jibe and prod
him on his unfortunate fame, secretly
sympathize with him and certainly Ike
him. He has many accomplishments. but
more especially is lie noted for the clever
ness he has displayed In theatricals. The

The Kidneys are very important organs,

They are the scavengers and sewers of the

They work while we sleep.

Refinements of Measurements Have Gone
to Incredible Limits.
On lenses curvatures of 1-150, 900 inch
can be measured. In spectroscopic
analysis of mere traces of different ele
ments, fractional wave lengths are read
to 1-2, 500 millionth of an inch. Prof.
Dewar in his researches on liquid air
attained a vacuum of 1-2,500 millienth
of an atmosphere by filling vessel
with mercurial vapor and exposing it
to a very low temperature, and Prof.
Boys, with the simplest possible ar
rangement of quartz fiber, torsional
balance and mirror, claims to have been
able to just detect an attractive force
of the $780, 300 millionth of grain. So
much for minute weights and meas
ures, and as regards angles the Darwin
pendulum will indicate a movement of
1900 of a second. which would be about
the angular measurement of a penny

CONCERNING THE TRANCE.
How 1t May Be Distinguished from Ger
tain Death.

According to Quain, a respectable aII-
thority, the onset of the state of trance
is usually sudden. 1t may succeed an
hysteroid CONFUSION and in some other
cases the onset has been attended with
an aura, resembling the globus hys-
tericus, or the sensation which pre-
cedes hysteroid and epi1eptic fits, as
of ball rising from the abdomen to
the throat. During this state the coun-
tenance is usually extremely pale. The
limbs are relaxed. The eyelids are
usually closed, and may resist and
culver on attempts to open them. The
eyeballs are directly upward in most
cases; they often deviate from the mid
die line and sometimes diverge slightly.
The mental functions seem in most
cases to be in complete allegiance No
manifestations of consciousness can
be observed or elected by the most
powerful cutaneous stimulation, and
on recovery no recollection of the state
is preserved. But in some cases Volt
ton only is lost and the patient is
aware of all that passes, although I'M
able to give the slightest evidence of
consciousness. The usual condition is
that of an entire absence of all evidence
Of mental activity. The duration of
trance has varied from few hours or
days to several weeks, months or even
Il year. The diagnosis of trance rests
on the inpossibility of rousing the
sleeper. In case of death trance, in
which no signs of vitality can be recog-
MED, the presence of life may be ascer-
tanned by the absence of any signs of
decomposition, by the normal appear
ance OF the fundus oculi as seen with
the opthalmoscope, by the persistence
OF the eNcitability of the muscles by
electricity. This excitability disappears
