Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 3.-A travelling evangelist is holding revival meetings in barn near here. People have be- come victims of strange form of re- ligious enthusiasm, bordering on frenzy, known as ''holy laugh" in which they indulge in tmmoderate and constant guffaws.

 Professor Waacot brings back with him some two hundred photographs, souvenirs of his wanderings, some of them pictures of exquisite bits of scenery in untraveled parts of tha west, and others having a scientific value.

Sugar and Muscular Excrtion.

1t is fact well known to Alpine tour
that on difficult climbing excursions an
increased desire is felt for the consump-
ton of sweets and sweetened foods, and
many who never. touch such things at
home devour large quantities Of them on
these tours 1t is also frequently re
marked how eagerly the guides appro-
pirate any sugar that may be left over
and consume it en- route. At the insti-
CATION of the Russian War Office, inves-
LEGATIONS have recently been made by
means of a special apparatus into the
question whether the consumption of
small quantities of sugar rendered
the tired muscles capable of renewed
exertion In order to obtain a practical
result, the person who was made the
subject of the experiment was kept tot
ally ignorant of the object of the exper
imenters. On one day a sweet liquid
was administered containing thirty
grammes of sugar, on the next day a
similar liquid containing a sufficient
amount of saccharin to render it indis-
tinguishable from the other as regarded
taste. When a very large amount of
! muscular work has been performed, it
was found that a greater quantity of
work could be z OF through on the
days when the sugar was given then on
the days when saccharin was given.
The system had become very poor in
sugar, in consequence of the severe
muscular effort which had previously
been gone through, and hence the ad-
ministration of comparatively small
quantity of sugar had the effect of pro
ducing an increased capability for

The Holy Laugh.

\ remarkable religious revival is in
progress in the country a few miles
north of Brunswick. Ga, in which a
new feature of religious enthusiasm
known as the holy laugh" has been
prominent. The meetings have been
conducted in a large barn for several
days by a hayeling evangelist, and
many of the converts has become so
hysterical under the excitement that
they give vent to a sound between
a below ana guffaw. which has oeen
designated the holy laugh. Several
of the more excitable members went
into frances and recently William
Hickman, young man. died after be
ing IN a cataleptic condition for 60
hours Never in the history of that
section has a religious demonstration
been attended with such striking phys
ical accompaniments. In many instan-
ces the people become perfectly fren-
zied and when one breaks out in the
holy laugh 1t becomes infectious and
passes to others. The excitement is so
intense that all work has been aban-
doned in the rural district surrounding
for the time being, and the people flock
to the meeting by hundreds. Some
opposition has sprung up in the com
munity against a continuance of the
meeting. as it is feared thlt others will
die under the excitement.
