EFFECTS OF VIBRATION.
Wounds Have Heen Healed by Sound
VUm-a. 90 i, Walt,

Wounds Have Heen Healed by Sound
Waves of "A Violin.
A man was conveyed to a hospital
in Paris suffering from an accident
which resulted in a serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to it
failed to effect the desired end The
man was attacked from time to time
by violent paroxysms, and death APP
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to a
musical remedy. The patients parox-
ysms ceased, and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play
ing was continued at intervals till re-
covery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done. The patient was calm and re
signed, but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed
a change. The wound assumed a
healthier appearance, and the process
of healing began and progressed rap
idly.
1t is an undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures. but the vi
brations must be strictly in accord
ance with the malady or nature of the
wound. Some enthusiasts go so far as
to assert that the character of individ-
uals can be changed by the constant
application of the proper vibration

Some of the Cruelties That Are Per.
nefrafad In Xiviaacfinn

Some of the CrueIties That Are Per-
petrated In Vivisection.
A certain DIR. Caster, wishing to
study the effect of massage upon dis
locations, deliberately dislocated the
limbs of numerous dogs, says Henry
c. Merwin in The Atlantic. He pub
lished an account of all these expert
ments and the following is a fair ex-
ample of them: Experiment 8. Poo
die dog replaced on the table
without choral. | disIocate his two
shoulders. The animal utters screams
of suffering. l hold him for twenty
minutes with his two shoulders dislo-
Gated and the elbows tied together be-
hind his back . :"
"Dr Majendie," relates DIR. Elliston,
lin one of his barbarous experiments
which, l am ashamed to say, wit
messed, began by cutting out a large
round piece from the back of beauti-
full little puppy"
Majendie may have been by nature a
brutal man, but even he would hardly
have done that when he was young in
vivisection. In this country we
are not quite so cruel as the French or
Italians, but we are more cruel than
the English, more cruel perhaps than
the Germans.
A medical man in Jersey City pub
lished an account of some experiments
which he made upon dogs-I will not
shock the reader by describing them
and of this publication the British
Medical Journal of Nov. Is, 1891, said,
1T is a record of the most wanton and
the stupidest cruelty we have ever
seen chronicled under the guise of sci
entific experiments"

At the Union club they still tell of a
worthy old member who was particular

was not willing to buy it. They used
the soap at the club, and he appropri-
ated the cakes as fast as he needed
them. He needed so many that the
steward changed the brand.

Gifts For the Mourner..

Some deliver into the musty old rec
ords of Harvard has brought to light
an amusing provision with which one
of the colleges eighteenth century
friends coupled what was for his time
a very generous bequest to the Cam
bridge university.
Mr.. Thomas Brattle was the tesla
tors name. and his interest in Harvard
evidently extended to the individual
members of its undergraduate body,
for after leaving f20O. then the equiv
alent of about $1,000. to the college
for its general uses his will gives half
a crown to every student belonging to
it who should attend his funeral.
Unfortunately no account of Mr..
Brattle's obsequies is extant. but there
can be little doubt that the occasion
was made solemn by the presence of a
large number of "chief mourners" and
that good wishes for the deceased were
generally and feelingly expressed.

said a physician, ITO find a person
whose pulse beats can be plainly seen,
and yet l suppose there are but few
outside of the profession who realize
the fact. In most persons the beat
of the pulse cannot be perceived, but
the mere fact that the beating is per
ceptible does not mean that the pulse
is other than normal. | have come
across a number of cases where the
throbbing of the wrist could be plainly
seen, and yet the persons rarely gave
evidence of abnormality in tempera-
ture. They were rarely feverish and
were in good physical condition gen
orally. Pulses Of this kind, from this
view, which is based upon actual OBJ
servations of cases, do not indicate
anything more than an abnormal phys
ical condition in the formation of the
wrist veins.

was possibly a little extraordinary in
that 1t was palmer and much more dis
tinct than any had ever seen before.
1t could almost be heard. The artery

TRIUMPHs OF SCIENCE.

sensstiveness of the Implements of
the Modern Laboratory.
The eye and the ear have long been
regarded as marvels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful things in the
world. But compared with the i'm
plements of a present day laboratory
the sensitiveness of all human organs
seems gross enough. A Photographic
plate, coupled with telescope, will re-
veal the presence of millions Of stars
whose light does not affect the retina
in the least. The microscope, too, with
its revelations of the world of the in
finitely small, tells us how crude, after
all, is this most delicate of the senses.
Indeed, we may liken 1t to a piano
where only single octave, toward the
middle, sounds. From the ultra violet
to the lowest reaches of the spectrum
Is range of some nine octaves of light
vibrations, of which, save for our new
mechanical senses, we should never
have been conscious Of but one.
The ear hears little of what Is going
on around US. By means Of a micro
phone the tread of fly sounds like the
tramp Of cavalry. Our heat sense is
very vague. We need a variation of
at least one-fifth of degree on Their
mometer to realize any difference in
temperature. Professor Langley's lit
tie bolometer will note the difference of
"A millionth of degree. 1t is two hun
bred thousand times as sensitive as our

Spiders and Alcohol.

A student of natural history had been
In the habit of immersing for preserva-
ton his different specimens of spiders
and ants in bottles of alcohol. He saw
that they struggled for few minutes,
but he thought that sensation was soon
extinguished and that they were soon
free from suffering.
On one occasion he wished to pre-
serve large female spider and TWEEN
ty-four of her young ones that he had
captured. He put the mother into a
bottle of alcohol and saw that after a
few moments she folded up her legs
upon her body and was at rest He
then put into the bottle the young ones.
who, of course, manifested acute pain.
What was his surprise to see the
mother arouse herself from her lethar-
gy. dart around and gather her young
ones to her bosom, fold her legs over
them, again relapse into insensibility
until at last death came to her relief
and the limbs, no longer controlled by
this maternal instinct, released their
grasp and became dead He has never
since repeated the experiment, but has
applied chloroform before immersion.

This cat story comes from Pont Ste.
Maxence (Oise), and for such a small
place it is an extremely tall tale, says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that a resident in the place, who is an
enthusiastic angler. used to keep live
bait in small tank on his premises
The angler also had a cat who natu-
rally was fond of fish, raw or cooked
This being so, his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out of temptation.
But the cat knew trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl giblets which were provi-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank, let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
on her own account. When the fish
nibbled at the bait. puss would catch it
with nimble claw! The angler, no
ticing the trick, threw the bait away,
but half an hour later puss was at it
again.
We hardly know which to admire
most the cats ingenuity or that of the
concocter of the story.

1t viii be remembered that Mr..
Whymper, who had a severe succession
of falls once in the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatical-
ly that as he bounded from one rock to
another he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield.
The entrance of the bullet into the body
4, not felt, and 1t is not till he feels the
blood flowing or limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by a fall do not know which
limb is broken till they try to rise. At
the moment of fall the whole intel
lectual activity is increased to an ex-
taordinary degree. There is not a
trace of anxiety. One considers quick
~ what will happen. This is by no
means the consequence of presence of
mind" 1t is rather the product of alb
solute necessity. A solemn composure
takes possession of the victim Death
BY fall is a beautiful one. Great
thoughts fill the victims soul They
fall painlessly into great blue sky.

Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is a CO.
coanut shell of enormous dimensions,
at the top of which Is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is
a stem gradually tapering to poine
which represents the beginning of all
things This point is d spirit or demon
without human form, whose name ig
Root of All Existence. BY him the en-
tire fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell,
at its very bottom, lives a female de.
mon. So narrow is the space into
which she is crowded that she is oblig-
ed to sit forever with knee and chin
touching. Her name is The Very Be
ginning, and from her are sprung nu-
merous spirits. They inhabit five diff
ferent floors, into which the great CO..
coanut is divided From certain of
these spirits mankind is descended.
The islanders, regarding themselves as
the only real men and women, were
formerly accustomed to regard stran-
gers as evil spirits in the guise of hu-
manity, whom they killed when they
could, offering them as sacrifices.
