twelve years, has just come to an end

ing to the death Of a patient named
Ferdinand Schllmme, a bricklayer, who
injured his spine through a fall In No

his body was completely paralyzed
through the accident, while his stom-
ach and other organs were badly In
Jured. Several operations proved I'M
successful. The patient showed re-
markable tenacity of life, but suffered
excruciating pain, which rendered his

through which water ran continuously.
There he has lain ever since, with a
supporting band round his breast and
his head on air cushions. He soon
became accustomed to the position,
and, as his hands were free, he learned
to knit and to carve wooden toys, be-
coming eventually so expert that he
earned a good subsistence and was
able to support his aged mother. This
heightened stay in the water, however,
induced tuberculosis, from which he
died.-Berlin Cor. London Telegraph.
