NECESSITY OF
Death by sIeepIe.xnes. q Chinese



"a person absolutely without ,sleCo
for nine days will die says 4 write
in Ainslee's. Sufferers from inSomniG
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, but e
has been proved that they do sleep
without being aware OF it At n GER
tain point sleep is inevitable, no. mat
ter what the bodily condition, the al
tentative being death. Prisoners have
slept on the rack Of the inquisition.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry u a Sentence of death by sleep
lessness. This mode Of capital punish
ment was long in favor In China and is
said to be so today, while as q form Of
torture deprivation OF sleep is consjd-
cred one OF the most ~efficacious weap-
ens in the Chinese judicial arsenal
In some such cases the prisoner IL
kept in a cage too small TO stand up o.
lie down i'll and constantly prodded
with a sharp rod. Death by starvation.
also a Chinese punitive method, is q
slower process and therefore, n
"Oulo I'LL IlO4S SdiSuldlCo ~ appear

so much more painful. In the lat

wild elephants is said to be %depriving
the animals Of sleep when first caught.
In a few days they become compare
lively spiritless and harmless. The
brain of the elephant is held to be
more highly developed than that of
any other wild animal, but of course
as compared with a human brain can
be easily fatigued by new impressions
and so made very dependent on sleep.
The wild elephant In bis native jungle,
however, is said to sleep very little-a
further point for the theory of the uni
yersal ratio of sleep to intelligence.
A man taken cut Of his habitat and
placed in conditions which he never
could have imagined-if transporter
to Mars, s~ay-would doubtless need an
extraordinary amount Of sleep at first.
There is the almost parallel case of a
German boy, Casper Hauser, who up
to the age of eighteen was kept in n
o where he had no intercourse with
human beings or sight Of any natural
object, not even the sky. At eighteen
he was brought to Nuremberg and
oha n6nnn1 in tho Sfraot For tho first
few months of his life among men he
slept almost constantly and SO soundly
that it was very hard to wake him"

The Sense of Feeling,

Some of our most important organs
for instance, the heart, the brain AID
the lungs-are, strange to say, quite
insensible to touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for tho
sensation, but also the special end o.
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest establishment by
Harvey, who. while treating a patient
for an abscess that caused a large
cavity in his side, found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being in the least aware of
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
I. to the mans bedside that "he might
himself behold and touch so extraor-
binary a thing"
In certain operations a piece of skin
is removed from the forehead to the
nose, and it is stated that the patient,
oddly enough. feels as if the new
nasal part were still in his forehead
and may have a headache in his nose.

Plans for the merger have been mad.
and one of the promoters expresses the
opinion that the deal will be consum-

TO this promoter. there is little use In
attempting to dodge the prospects OF
Cuban reciprocity. hence the Louisiana
planters must make arrangements u

way they can do this successfully, NE
