For the first As minutes he experienced
no Inconvenience, save his hand be-
coming uncomfortable from being wet
constantly with cold water. Arrange
ments were then made to keep the wa
ter at blood heat, and it soon became
more comfortable. In about two hours
slight redness began to appear, which
gradually got as big as quarter. The
third half hour the drops were scarcely
felt at all. the hand being apparently
numb to the water, although sensitive
to the touch of anything else. The red
spot increased until it was larger than
a silver dollar, and the dripping of the
water began to become slightly painful.
1t was noticed that if any one told
story or did anything to divert the
students attention from his hand, he
did not notice any pain at all, but con-
centration of thought upon his hand
made the pain grow. The water was

kept steadily at close to s6 degrees.

After about six hours and half. the
red spot, which had been first a bright
red, slowly turned to purple, and bis
ter began to rise. The pain had in
creased gradually up to this stage, and
the young man said he felt as though
every falling drop came with the force
of hammer, the pain reaching the
shoulder, and even a little beyond.
After the blister had raised, the blows
from the drops were not SO severe, but
he said were bad enough, being a dull
feeling like slowly pushing down upon
it.
After about eight hours and twenty
minutes the water was shut off. About
$1,000 drops had been let fall, the rate
being a little above the schedule, only
one quart two ounces of water having
been used.-Wichita Correspondent in
New York Press.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Kansas Student Let 1890 Drops of
Water Fall on His Hand.

To learn just COW much pain would
be caused by the constant dripping of
water on the body, several students
here have tried it.
A gallon of water was to be loosed
drop by drop from a height of three
feet, the drops falling at intervals of
about two seconds. A gallon of water
contains about 81, 400 drops, and at this
rate it would take over "a hours to com
plete the task.
One of the students was seated at
table, and allowed his left hand to be
fixed immovably to the table, so as to
insure every drop striking the same
spot upon the back of the hand. The
apparatus for dropping the water was
adjusted, and the experiment began.

A Chicago minister who went ont TO
Oak Park one Sunday to attend church
was shocked to see one of his former
parishloners attired in mCst uns"Cu.ly
garments. The man, who was seated
on the front porch of handsome resi-
dence, was clad in checked l.rce
breeches and Il red coat that was faced
in green, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The minister paused before tbs gate,
put on his glasses ard gazed in silent
astonishment before speaking.
Say, Brother Brown. Why aren't Won
attending scrvicc?" he inquired. when
he was sure lie had rot made a mistake
concerning the identity Of the man.
Brother Brown looked up from
Sunday paper and appeared TO be en-
barrassed. He invited the clergyman
in to take rest, and he made several
incoherent remarks about the w"hi her.

ister. "ThcrC is cnly one question 7

turned round so that the cut of the
