If the inventors and those who have
tried their inventions are to be believed
there is no longer any reason why peo-
pie should suffer from insomnia, says
the Chicago Tribune. More than a
dozen different mechanical devices are
on the market all of which have been
tested and deemed effective by author
tiles of greater or less repute. One of
these sleep producers, made by Verdin
a famous instrument maker of Paris
is called the "fascinator." 1t has been
successfully tested in several Paris hos
pitfalls. 1t consists of a helmet, which
is fastened about the head by two
straps buckling at the back. Across the
forehead rests a band of fat steel,
from the center of which projects a
steel tube, into the end of which is in
serted a flexible steel wire tipped with
glistening nickel plated ball about
the size of a grape. By bending the
wire the ball may be adjusted at any
angle desired and extremely close to
the eyes. With this apparatus in place
the patient lies down and fixes his gaze
on the ball. This fixed gaze fatigues
the eyelidS and in few minutes
sound sleep is produced.
"A wise mans eyes are in his head,
and his ears also, but these latter or

both ears in their head, and also
structures in the skin of the body
which help them to perceive any move

III you examine a lobsetr or prawn,

in each small feeler is a little bag
opening to the outside, which enables
the creature to hear. There is a little
shrimp, the opossum shrimp, which
has an ear inbedded in each side fan
or his tail, quite the wrong end for it.
Shellfish, such as mussels and cookies
are blessed with a single fieshy foot
which sticks out from the under side
OF the body, and is used to shove the
animal along. Two little bag-like ears
are contained in this, so that the crea-
ture can listen to his own footsteps
so to speak. Flies and other sorts of
insects carry one pair of feelers on the
mead, and there is reason to think that
these enable their possessor not only
to feel but also to smell and hear

st. Joachim, patron of Leo XIII
had the honors in the Vatican on the
day of the recent fate of the Sovereier
Pontiff, which was celebrated this vaar
with especial brilliancy. Leo xTTT

apartments and presented himself in
the nah or the consistory, where the
college of cardinals was Assembled
The prelates of the court were lil<ewisa
there. Cardinals and prelates offered
their congratulations to the august old
man. VINO responded to their wishes for
ms prosperity with amiable and affec-
tionate words. His Holiness looked
well and appeared to show no sign of
the fatigue that the recent heat had
caused him. After having given his
benediction to the assembly, Leo KIN
heard with much interest the lecture Of
frof. Maruechi on the last discoveries
maze In the Catacombs. The Pope is
a great amateur of archaeology. He
knows from one end to the other the
admirable works of Rossi on the Cata-
combs. The magic lanter views which
accompanied Mr.. Marucchis lecture in
terested the Pontiff Sovereign very
much, who congratulated the eminent
lecturer. Leo XIII received afterward
the delegations of the Catholic circles
OF Rome, who offered him magnificent
baskets of flowers and fruits. The
feast of Saint Joachim. though a very
ancient one in the East. was intro
duced into Italy by Pope Julius III.
