The wind. which often saves an or
chard from damage during April was
blowing strongly from sunset until n
little after o'clock in the morning,

People Who Live Without Food

TIME famous fasting man, Signor
Sacco, has made a romantic ad-
dition to the many records he
has established, for he has just been
married after having completed a
hunger strike" of AZ days at Kingston
on Thames. England. What adds
piquancy to the romance of his latest
fast is the fact that his seventeen
year-old bride sat beside his glass cabi-
net for long periods during his volun-
tary abstinence from food. But his
latest fasting feat was by no means his
longest. Some six years ago at Olym-
pia he starved" himself for 46 days
four hours, and thus beat the record of
45 days two hours, which he had set up
at what was then Henglers circus,
London. II is noteworthy that during
the former fast Sacco smoked 400
cigarettes and consumed $50 bottles Of
mineral water; while during the latter
fast he drank So bottles of table water
and smoked 952 cigarettes

all food. although carefully watched
the whole time, for 40 days. and gained
almost worldwide notoriety by his
feat.
But this achievement was nothing
compared to that OF an old French SOL
dier named jacques, who tasted for so
days at one OF the music halls in New
York. A still more wonderful feat of
abstinence than this was performed by
a murderer named Granie, at Toulouse.
in France, who determined to starye
himself to death in order to escape the
guillotine. and from the day of his ar
rest he refused to eat. In spite Of every
effort on the part of his wardeFs-who
first tried tempting him TO eat by plac-
ing the most dainty meals In his cell
and then. when that failed. attempting
to feed him by force-he held out fos
IS days, at the end OF which time he
died. This is the longest fast on rec

woman named Sarah Jacobs, living at

There are also we'll attested records
Of French girl, Christina Michalot,
who lived for four years without any
solid food Of any description" of Mon
lea Mutcheteria. a woman of Suabia,
who, while suffering from a complica-
ton OF nervous disorders, subsisted for
two years on a dietary of curds and
whey and water; and of Ann Walsh, a
twelve-year-ol old girl of Harrogate, who
survived for eighteen months on a daily
allowance of a third of pint of wine
and water.
Two or three years ago experiments
in fasting for scientific purposes were
made, one in Somerset and the other in
Kent. In order to ascertain whether
the accumulation Of waste and unnec-
essary material in the system was the
cause of much disease, and whether
self-imposed starvation was a sound
method OF its elimination, and as such
conducive to better health. Dr.. F. Pen
ny, of minister. did not break his fast
for 80 days.
All that passed his lips during that
period was distilled water, and at the
end of his experiment he found that his
weight had decreased only so pounds. or
an average of one pound a day.
