Fearful Cruelty That Makes This
Dainty q Possibility.

To the ordinary man and woman no
conception Of the torture 10 which the
poor unfortunate goose Is put could
possibly be formed
The geese when about nine months
old are taken from the pastures and
placed In an underground cellar, where
broad. slantlng stone slabs stand In
rows, and are bound fast 10 the "a
bles. They are literally cruclhed.
Feet. wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands. so that only
the neck Is left free. As may be mag
ined. the animal struggles with all its
might against this stretching till, after
days OF vain endeavor TO free itself
from the bands and Its position, It's
powers or resistance are overcome, and
q dull resignation, broken only by Its
low cries. takes possession OF II. Tive
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals are meanwhile crammed
with dumplings made Of dough Of
buckwheat, chestnuts and stewed
maize. Every two hours. six times a
day. they receive from three 10 Ave
dumping pills, which In time become
so sweet to the tortured creatures that
they stretch their necks 10 be cram

The most difficult task is TO deter
mine the right moment for death
Those who die OF their own accord are
lost 10 the liver factory; therefore q
kind OF study is needed TO see when
tho cup OF agony is trimming full and
the liver is ripe for taking. The bod
les OF such ripe ones are like pump
kins. Where ordinarily fingers are
buried In flesh and fat nothing but
skin and bone are found. The liyers
have absorbed all the strength and

Darkness and Our Eyes the Answer,
Says n Scientist.
II IL were always daylight we should
never sleep. SO says scientist.
There is no particular reason why we
or any other animals should rest on
an average eight or nine hours n day.
The period OF rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours is
the average time when there is lack
OF sufficient light TO enable Us TO move
about in comfort
This most fundamental distinction
between day and night is wholly rela-
tive to the sense OF sight. II only af-
fects those types OF life which have
developed eyes.
Plants. being dependent for their
growth upon the action OF rays OF
sunlight which fall upon their leaves.
have wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest In the light and grow during
the hours OF darkness.
The lowest forms OF animal life
the sightless denizens OF ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl around necessarily, seeking
prey by the sense Of touch alone.
When they rest II is at Irregular pc
RODS. In other words. they have no
distinct periodicity OF their own.
But as soon as eyes are developed.
and in proportion OF this development.
animals begin 10 divide their time into
two main portions-a waking and a
sleeping time. While there Is light
they perform all motive functions
When darkness comes they retire TO

1t was discovered that the minute car

oil in these lamps, although too minute
to be visible in the air, was the cause
of the hands and faces of the patients
becoming dark When the polarity of
the chair and the crown of the head
were reversed, the phenomenon could

were up against it from the first and
Marion won in handy style 81 to 43.
II was the first time that Hamilton
has met with defeat during the entire
season.
The local aggregation was at its
best last night and the fast tactics
carried the visitors off their feet.
Hogan and Sells, the local forwards
played an exceptionally fine game and
in the second half, threw baskets
almost at will Fiemeyer of the
visiting team played sensational
game, scoring more than one-half of
the total points for his team.
The attendance was only fair but
great enthusiasm was exhibited. Pre-

teams played a preliminary con-

Mouser, and one headed by Roy Rice,
battled for twenty minutes for su-
