The king of England labors under

listen to a debate in the house of COM
mons. Admission to the legislative
chamber, which is open to his lowliest
subject, is denied TO the sovereign. The
king is the head of parliament Ac-
cording to the theory of the constitu-
ton, his majesty summons parliament
to meet in order that it might advise
him in the government of the realm
Indeed. he is supposed theoretically to
preside over Its deliberations, yet IL
has come TO pass that the actual pres
ence of the sovereign in parliament
except on ceremonial occasions. would
now be regarded as unconstitutional
He only attends in the house Of lords
to open parliament, TO give the royal
assent to bills which have passed both
houses or TO prorogue parliament at
the end Of the session. Does it not

SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at the
Instant of Either.


The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up in the following PROPOSE
tions, says writer in the Cosmopoli-
tan.
First-Sleep is temporary death of
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Secondly-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under the three heads-natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss of sensbility by the
sensitive organs which precedes sleep
now takes place in the vital system,
and all the organs pass into permanent
sleep together. There can be no pain
preceding or ut the moment Of such a
death, any more than there is pain pre-
ceding or at the moment of passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritability of
both the sensitive and vital systems.
1t requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The element of
time must be present in order to suffer
physical pain, and in the sudden death
of a person the element of time Is alb
sent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form of
death-namely. death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established dy-
ing begins, which is but more rapid
than natural ceasing of all sensibili-
ties, accompanied with more or less
suffering, according to the cause which
produces it. This dying and suffering,
called disease, must terminate either
in so called death, which is insensibil-
ity to it, or in recovery, which is re-
moval Of the cause of it, But in any
event the suffering has been endured,
no matter whether the final termina-
ton is death or recovery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking in
to natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by supreme agony or in
any other way, be conscious of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events in
the life history of our bodies, and we
shall know no more about the latter
event at the time it occurs than we did
about the former.

CONDITIONS ON MARS.
Days and Years and Light and Heat or
the Red Planet.

The davs in Mars are of about the
same length as ours-24 hours. 80 min
utes. % seconds. Mars makes her
orbit around the sun in a little more
than CSC day5: therefore the seasons
are almost twice as long as they are
with US. The atmosphere of Mars Is
rich in watery vapors- Oceans can be
seen, and at the poles thick ice, which
nelts when summer comes The va
riations in temperature are extreme.
Mars receives only half as much solar
heat as our globe does The sun APP
pears half as large, and the nights
receive their light from two moons,
which are smaller than ours-Deimos
and Phobos.
The weight is such that one of our
Kilograms would only weigh $40 grams
there. A man is only able to carry his
own weight on his back. Transported
to Mars, he could carry three times as
much, something like 225 kilos. In
taking observations Of Mars through
the telescope one can see distinct red
disk, marked with more or less bril-
liant spots. Some of the spots which
are greenish are the oceans; other very
red ones are the continents, greater
in extent than the oceans, which is the
opposite to the way the earth is dis
posed. The most brilliant spots are
the ice covered regions of the poles.
and the clouds are almost equally
bright. The atmosphere of Mars is
more transparent than ours, and its
sky is incomparably clear.
The waters of Mars are more divided
and distributed in inland seas Joined
by long arms. which are sometimes in
curving, but oftenest almost rectilinear,
and which mark the brilliant surface
with dark lines, just as the line of
lead divides the panes of glass in our
church windows. All these dark lines
form a pattern which is relatively
symmetrical and which does not seem
to have been made by chance. plan
so regular must have been designed,
and for a long time the observers of
Mars have been disposed to consider
these lines as canals dug by the inhab-
itants of the planet for the needs of
their ivilization.-Charles Torquet in
Metropolitan Magazine.
