EARLY PicTUREs OF JAPAN.


Entertaining pictures OF Japan II
the Japanese. as they were seen by
English q captains nearly 300 years
ago, are to be found in the log kept
by Capt. Saris of the first voyage to
Japan to open up trade there for the
East India company. Because of Eng
lands fame as victor over Spain. Sar-
is was received very honorably by
the Ola King Foyu." The people. too,
were, as a rule. botn civil and cour-
leous to him, although rude boys, who
exist everywhere and at all times, &C.
casionally followed the English sail

stones and shouting; "Kore, kore. ko-
core ware" which ShriR translated in
to You Koreans with false hearts"
As to their naval enterprise, Saris
says: about eight of tenne leagues on

Seque we found a large Towne where
lay in a Docke a Juncke of 500 or 1000

sEcRET OF sUlLY's SUCCESS.
Black Cat In Cotton Exchange Said to
Forecast the Market.

There is a black cat on the cotton
exchange which in the recent panicky
times has attracted a great deal of
attention. 1t is popularity supposed to
be Daniel ]. Sully's mascot, m in his
twenty-third floor of the Wall Elk
change building there are many repro
the cotton exchange.
When brokers enter the exchange
from the Hanover square entrance
they always look for the black cat,
which invariably sits at the entrance
browsing v e a radiator. Now, when
one enters and observes the cat some
times he moves. 1t has invariably
been the case that whenever he o
his left hind leg for a stretch upward
the market is bound to go up.
1t was Mr.. Sully who first noticed
this popularity Of the black cat, and
he shaped his market operations for
the day accordingly. Whenever the
cat does not appear to take any notice
of anyone the market is usually dead
and lifeless. When the cat is not at
his customary place on the radiator
1t is the invariable sign of a falling
market.
During the panicky times recently
brokers scanned the entrance in vain
for the cat. Day after day the bull
element searched the building for
their mascot, but he could not be
found. Day after day it was also found
that the market slumped in panicky
proportion. At last he made his first
appearance for nearly a week after
the big break occurred, and the mar.
ket began to show signs of a rally.
Some call the cat Dan.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE BRAIN.
Electric Current Used to Induce SLEEP
Sensation Felt.

Experiments on the brain of a living
subject with electric currents have
been comparatively are as there has
prevailed among physicians n phys
iologists the idea that such a course OF
experimentation was extremely dan
gerous, says Harper's Weekly. There
have recently been published, how
ever, records of some experiments car.
ried on by Nj. S. Leduc, with the object
Of using the electric current to pro.
duce sleep and of studying its effects
on the brain generally.
In early experiments 1t was shown
that the brain is the best conductor OF
electricity in the human body. being
about 1900 times more conducting
than muscle. 1t was also observed
that when a continuous current was
passed through the head from n ear
10 the other the sensation of giddiness
was produced and thai objects ap.
peared to revolve in the same direc
ton as the current flowed. However.
when the electrodes are placed on the
forehead and neck and the current
sent from back to front the effects are
%innocuous so long as a mild current is
used and in some cases may be bene-
fetal. According to M. Leduc, the
most satisfactory current Is one of
four milliamperes at thirty volts,
which is broken or interrupted 100
times a second for nine-tenths OF the
period of the interrnpSfoh. The first
effect noted was h disappearance OF
the faculty of speech, after which fol
lowed the loss of the motor faculties.
Under ordinary conditions there is no
affection of the respiration or pulse
unless the current is increased, and
then 1t may cease. The patient is said
to awaken instantaneously from the
electric sleep and to experience a feel
ing of r~efreshment.
