FATE OF KING KILLERS.
A List Worth Reading by the Patterson
mg Friends of Bresc.

Not always has the punishment of
the regicide been simple hanging or
imprisonment for life.
Ravaillas, the murderer of Henry "
of France, was first tormented abomi-
nably, and afterwards torn to pieces by
wild horses.
A similar punishment was melted out
to Damiens, who attempted the life of
Louis XIV, only in his case the torture
was applied publicly, and dainty danes
craned their aristocratic necks to gloat
over his unparalleled sufferings.
The two Mavromichaelis, who in 1881
assassinated Count Capo d'Istria, Pres
ident of Greece, were immured with n
close brick walls, built around them up
to their chins, and supplied with food
in this species of tortue until they died.
Balthazer Gerard, the murderer of
civilian the Silent" of Holland, was
fayed alive, a terrible fate, which also
overlook Bertrand de Gourdon, who
killed our own Richard l.

bomb which killed the Gar Alexander

CAUSING MUCH SUFFERING.
The Whole of Europe EnveIOped in the
Cold Wave.

Severe cold has suddenly set in
throughout Europe. In England it is
accompanied by northeasterly wind,
amounting to gale over the channel.
At Dover a boat was capsized, four
persons being drowned, and probably
other accidents will be reported.
On the continent the weather is still
more severe. Snow has fallen as far
south as Naples, and in ST. Petersburg
the cold is so intense that the police in
the streets have had to be frequently
relieved and the schools to be closed.
At Moscow the temperature is thirty
degrees below zero.
Tremendous gales are blowing over
the Adriatic. Terrible billiards. are
reported from Austria and southern
Russia extinguis signal lights and
resulting in the derailing of the Orient
express at Altpazua.
The storm caused collision between
passenger trains at Mikola, near Sat-
mar, Hungary, six persons being
killed.
Nine people were frozen to death on
high road in Pennsylvania. Odessa
is completely snowbound. The harbor
is frozen over and trains are unable to
enter or leave in consequence of the
drifts.

COMMON SALT SAVES LIVES.
MANY EXPERIMENTS IN CHICAGO SHOW
WONDERFUL RESULTS.
1t Will Save Life Even When Ninety Per
Cent. of the Blood Has Been Lost.
Is Used as a Restorative.

As a result of protracted series OF
governments with salt solutions, the
efficacy of which in prolonging life
was recently announced by Professor
Loeb of the University of Chicago,
two prominent physicians of that claim
to have demonstrated that in cases OF
great loss of blood by disease or :injury
normal salt solution used as a re-
storative, will save lie ieven when ~
per cent. of the blood has been lost.
The experiments, which have ex-
tended over a period of six months
have, according to the physicians
made practical new system OF bleed
inc and substitution of salt solutions
for suffering from pneumonia, typhoid
and malarial fevers, peritontls, acute
and chronic Bright's disease and all
heart affections resulting from the last
named complaint. Much success has
followed, the physicians say, partlcu-
larly those made with pneumonia ana
Bright's disease.
In the experiments the physicians
used more than 100 dogs and tound 1t
possible to withdraw 10 per cent OF the
circulation from an animal before 1t
was necessary to inject stimulant.
The final test was made on a dog
from which 80 per cent. of the blood
had been Withdrawn. A needle con-
nected with a salt water apparatus
containing a two per cent. solution
was inserted in the jugular vein and a
second needle inserted in the Junction
of the heart. After the blood had
been drawn off the salt solution was
forced in around the heart and into the
vessels of the brain The dog was
able to stand inside of an hour and on
the following day was able to walk.
A human patient suffering with
pneumonia, who was operated upon,
recovered in much shorter time than
il was customary with those having
that trouble. In case of malaria the
injection of the salt was made directly
into the spleen. and in six weeks all
symptoms of disease had disappeared.
No claim was made that a cure had
been effected in cases of Bright's dis
ease, the physicians merely asserting
that they had removed several of the
most troublesome features of the com
plant.

SEA LIONS OF CALIFORNIA.
Their Partial Destruction Based ON q
Miat.keu Idea.

Their Partial Destruction Based ON q
Mistaken Ides.
Prof. Woodward's wholesome address
on the necessity of verifying theories
by the observation of facts finds an ex-
cellent illustration in the sea lion ques-
ton in California. These animals,
which have long been priced by lovers
of nature as one of the great attrac-
lions of the coast, have fallen into dis
repute among the fishermen because
their presence was supposed to account
for the deterioration of certain fishing
grounds. So confident was the belief
In their fish-devouring habits that their
destruction--or at least great reduc-
ton Of their numbers-was advocated
and in part accomplished by the State
Commission of Fisheries, according to
writer in Science. But 1t now ap-
pears that this belief was without SUBJ
stantial foundation.
The appeal to fact has been made by
the critical examination of the stom-
achs of slaughtered sea lions, and 1t
has been found by Prof Dyche that the
twenty-five animals examined had eat
en- only squids and other cephalopods,
eschewing fish altogether.
The investigation of food habits by
means of stomach examination is OF far
reaching Importance. DR.. Merriam is
engaged, through the biological sur
vey in the most elaborate study of
animal foods ever made. For many
years the stomachs of wild birds and
mammals have been systematically col
lected and laboriously studied, to the
end that the favorite and the occasion
al foods of each species in each season
of the year and in each part of the
country may become known. AS each
group is worked up the facts are pub
lished by the Department Of Agricul-
ture, and farmers and legislators are
thus informed what species may prop
erly be regarded as friendly and what
as hostile to the interests of the peo-
pie. In many instances it has been
found that popular impressions, almost
necessarily founded on a comparative
~ small number of facts, are alto
gether erroneous, so that war has been
waged on our friends and protection
given our enemies.
