Death md birth Time.

There are great number of curious
superstitions as to the time of day when
a dying person is most likely to draw
his last breath, and the tide, moon and
the wind have all been supposed to have
some share in the matter. According to
The British Medical Journal Raseri,
who has analysed 25, 474 cases Of death
and 80, 5l5 of birth, where the exact
time of day was noted, finds that the
maximum number Of deaths occur in
the early afternoon (2:07 p, m.), ana
the minimum in the last hours before
midnight, while the maximum number
Of births occur in the early hours of the
morning, and the minimum in the
early hours of the afternoon.
AS regards the cause of this he points
out the hours of the maximum number
Of deaths are precisely those when the
pulse rate and the temperature are at
their highest in health, and when there
is febrile exacerbation in illness.

A singing WELL.

that Ui an AEUlian harp comes upward
between the tauglcs Of vines below.
At times the sound seems nearer
and clearer. Then again it reccdes, as
IL far away, and reaches the ear very

few minutes, and with great regularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa

mysterious musical sound very faint. a
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and tho sound to increase in volume
and clcurness.
But II is just before n great northor

of the we'll and emits the weirdest,
widest noises that ever reached human

The well is about 90 feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which IL is
located was bought by II Mr.. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the we'll, employed two men to
fill 1t up. They shoveled dirt into tho
well two weeks, but II did not affect
the depth of water percoptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements Of the excavations they
had made It has been calculated that
the well should have been filled up a
