How . Dying Man Feels.

Numerous experiments made in hos

have permitted tests to DO made upon
themselves right down TO tho moment
Of death. warrant these conclusions:
That dying man may be burned with
rcd hot irons and yet not feel the least
pain; that consciousness may remain
In the dying almost to the moment of
actual dissolution. but that most peo-
pie generally lose the power Of thought
long before death; that In cases of

suffering. with writhing and spasms.
such phenomena are generally due to

Cotton Belt Region Envel0ped
in Smoke.

Memphis. Tenn. Nov. 24.-The entire
cotton belt region of west Mississippi
and Arkansas is enveloped in dense
smoke today as a result of forest fires
which have been raging for three days.
Large areas of timber are burning and
the fires have spread rapidly. Advices
from Little Rock. Ark. state that fires
are burning in all directions. Between
Memphis and Little Rock. on the
ChOctaw railroad. the woods are on
fire on both sides of the railway line.
while the timbered section north of
Little Rock, on the Iron Mountain
road is burning. The fires extend as
far north as Walnut Ridge and the
timber lands southwest of Swifton are
in flames.
At Greenville. Miss, and other points
in the Yazoo delta, great clouds of
smoke seriously interfere with river
traffic. No lives have been lost so far
as is known, but it is reported that
live stock has suffered severely.
