TREPANNING BY THE ANCIENTs.- -
The custom OF trepanning, or
taking small pieces Of bone from
the living head, was much prac'
tised in prehistoric times, as the
skulls prove to us, and IS still IN
vogue among some peoples.
Among these are the people OF the
Berber stock in the Djebel Aures
and the Diebel Chechar of the
edges Of the Algerian platuea.
The method Of performing the op-
Grafton is carefully described by
Drs. II. Malbot and X. Nerneau,
of whom DIR. Malbot was shown
by a native doctor a skull with
more than a dozen circular holes,
two Sits, and a large irregular
orifce, all of which had been
pierced when the man was alive.
The skull was kept hidden, and
was evidently used as an example
bv the local doctors. The natives
have recourse to trepanning for
blows or wounds on the head; and
il does not matter how long before
the blow may have been given, if
only the sick person can remem-
Der that he has had one. The op-
Grafton is not severe. a woman,
tired OF her husband, is said to have
called in the service of trepanner
in order to get divorce from him
by producing a piece Of her skull
and affirming that he had broken
it in some OF his cruel acts -AP-

FAITH HEALING IN ANCIENT
GREECE. DIR. Caton's lectures on
the Temples and Ritual OF Askle-
pols at Epidaurus and Athens are
interesting in themselves as en-
bodying a skillful econstruction
OF one OF the most pathetic ruins
OF antiquity, and also as affording
a proof that even in these days OF
crowded scientific life there are
still among US some worthy sue
cessors OF the old race OF scholarly
physicians who found leisure for
other studies in the spacious times
when the art of medicine was
neither so long nor so absorbing as
it is at the Tresent day. DIR. Cation
has clothed the dry bones Of arch
9ology with flesh and has enabled
us not only to see in the minds
eye the buildings and material en-
vironment, but to understand the
inner life, and, as it were, to breathe
the spiritual atmosphere OF the
most celebrated temples of Askle-
pois, the god of healing. $
On arriving at the temple the sup
plant was not suffered at once to
enter. He had first to be cleaused
by bathing in the sacred well, after
which he was allowed to pay his
homage to the deity OF the shrine.
He was thel admitted to the altar,
whereupon be placed cakes and
choice articles of food as offerings
to Asklepois, on whose behalf they
were gracIously accepted by the
priest. Each suppliant had also to
bring a supply of food and bedding
Tor himself, the temple furnishing
nothing beyond a heap of leaves
for him to lie upon. AT nightfall
the sacred lamps were lighted un
der the porches, and propitiatory
prayers were offered up by the
priests with imposing ritual. The
lights were then extinguished and
the patients enjoined to COZ pose
themselves to sleep. Full Of ex-
pectatlon OF the promised visit of
Asklepois, excited further by the
solemnitY of their surroundings,
pnotized by the lamps and made
drowSy by the fumes Of incense
and the languorous atmosphere of
the crowded temple, one after an
other passed into the land of
dreams. Is it to be wondered at if
the poor sufferers, whose faith had
been inflamed almost to delirium
bv the religious ceremonies, were
visited by the god and told by him
what they were to do to be made
whole2 1t is not unlikely that the
priests. who had learnt from the
patients on their arrival some
thing at least OF the nature of
their complaints, had also sug-
gested to them a line Of treatment
which would be confirmed by the
vision. But what Of those to whom
sleep was denied, and to whom,
therefore, no dream of healing
could conner 1t may well be, as
Miss ane Harrison suggests, that
for such cases in "the half dawn OF
the grey morning." when life is at
its lowest daily ebb. some dream
like pageant was arranged by the
priests, which was probably as
effect as the dream When the
cure was accomplished, there nat
urallY came the question of the
fee, and the hardly less important
one Of the testim onial.
The poor gave earthenware vases
or whatever else they could afford.
Almost everyone who found relief
presented an e,r. V0t0 offering in the
form OF leg, arm, breast, or what
ever part OF the body might have
been the seat Of the disease which
had been cured; these were often
made of gold or silver.-Br7IiSh

ROMAN REMAINS IN SwITZER-
LANDAU ancient Roman hospi-
tai has been brought to light at
Baden, near Zurich, the discovery
having been made in connection
with recent excavations at Win
disch, the Roman Vindonissa. AT
Vindonissa the two great Roman
roads met, the one leading from
the Great St. Bernard along Lake
Lemen and then by Aventicum and
Vindonissa to the Roman stations
on the Rhine; the other leading
from Italy to Lake Constance by
the Khetian Alps, the canton
which is now Winterthur, Baden,
and Windisch. The last point was
the station oil the seventh and
eighth legions, and close by the
Rom an road the hospital has been
discovered. 1t contains fourteen
rooms supplied with many kinds
OF medical, pharmaceutical, and
surgical apparatus, the latter IN
Guiding probes, tubes, pincers,
cauterIzing instruments, and even
a collection OF safety pins used in
bandaging wounds. There are
also medicine spoons in bone. and
silver measuring vessels, jars. and
pots for ointment, some still con-
tanning traces OF the ointment used.
The excavations have also revealed
a large number Of silver and cop

THE Holy SHRoUD. D.-Under the
heading, "a Marvellous Occur
renee" the OSSeYgat0Ye Romano,
the Pope's own official organ, pub
lished, on June "A, a letter from
Turin relating that photograph
Of the Holy Shroud, taken by cleo
trio light, has given an admirable
reproduction Of the body Of Christ.
The Holy Shroud was recently ex-
posed to veneration, and King
Humbert, who is its hereditary
guardian, az first hesitated to give
authority to have it photographed,
lest the photographs should be
used for purposes Of commercial
speculation. Eventually, how.
ever, his Majesty gave the requisite
permission to Signor Secundo Pia,
a lawyer, and member OF the Com
mittee en- Sacred Art, who had
offered to photograph the Holy
Shroud at his own expense solely
in the interest Of religion and his
tory. Signor Pia prepared his
plates according to a special
method, rendering them sensitive
to the yellowish tint of the Holy
Shroud by means OF powerful elec
trio reAectors. Formerly" the
letter continues, "the appearance of
the Holy Shroud gave an idea OF
the contour rather than OF the facial
lineaments and body of Christ.
On the other hand, the photo
graphs, on being developed,
showed a perfect representation OF
the face, hands, and limbs of Christ,
the general effect being that of a
photograph of Christ. and not of
his shroud." A great sensation
has been caused by this prodigy in
Turin. and crowds Of "pious pill
grims" are Aocking'to Pia's house.

A Mystery Explained.

On certain hot summer day celo-
brated naturalist entertained company
of distinguished savants at dinner, at
tho conclusion of which they all went
out in the garden.
In the center of the grounds there
stood on pedestal a large glass globe.
Gre of f'>e guests happened to touch
this globe, and found, TO his amaze
ment, that it was warmer on the shady
side than on the side turned to the sun.
He communicated his discovery to the
guests, who at once proceeded to verify
the statement.
What could be the cause?
An animated discussion eusued, in
the course of which every imaginable
law of physics was made to account for
the strange paradox. At length our
scientists agreed that it must be so
owing to the laws of reflection, repul-
sion or exhalation or some other law of
physics with long name.
The host was, however, not quite
convinced, and, calling the gardener,
he said to him:
pray tell us why the globe is warm
er Oh the shady side than ON the side
