Invention of tho G%uillotins.

Some years before the terrible
French revolution of 1893 a learned
Partisan physician, DR.. Guillotin, turn
ed his attention to devising a mode OF
executing criminals that would be
more humane than hanging. He was
a man Of note in the scientific world
or his time, having introduced i'm
other sanitary blessings much needed
in that period. So. when the French
national assembly convened in 1889 it
gave willing ear to his description OF
a decapitating machine that would
"whisk off one head in an instant.
quite without pain" Other matters
were pressing, however; there was no
money in the national treasury. and
the assembly took no action upon DR..
Guillotin's plan. The matter seemed
quite forgotten until the reign of
terror began. Then a machine made
after the doctors idea suddenly APP
peared and was put into immediate
use. Its novelty caught the fancy of
the mobs who attended the daily exc
cutions. and it was quickly named ia
guillotin,' after the man who had pro-
posed 1t. DR.. Guillotin, who had never
made a working model of his lnven-
ton and who had thought it quite for
gotten, was so heartbroken by the ter
rible use to which his plan had been
put that he left France.
