The simplest form of the disease is
sometimes called dead fingers" In
such case the fingers of the patient

WALLACKS SAD FAREWELL.

Lester Wallack lived long enough to
see the fortune that he had worked so
faithfully to accumulate almost totally

the pain of an illness that literally
forced him off the stage.
There were many, very many, sad

night of his great benefit at the Metro

Hunaer and Thirst.

While many men of science have
coptended thar the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that of
thirst in the throat. the Italian Yalenti
holds the view that the seat of both
sensations is situated in the gullet. He
found that cocaine injection in the
esophagus (the channel from the mouth
to the stomach resulted in immediate
suppression of the sensations of both
hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the
chewing of coca leaves renders the
gullet tnsenSitive and destroys any de-

Waterscouts.

The waterspout at sea and the tor
nado on land are manifestations of
great instability Of the atmosphere in
a vertical direction, caused either, by
an abnormally warm surface layer GU.
air or an abnormally cold layer at the
cloud level, says Nature. The former
cause is common in summer: the lat
ter occurs both in summer and winter
and IS usually associated with a Zine
squall' or Y shaped barometric de-
preston. The waterspout shows the
track along which surface air passes
spirally onward to restore equilibrium.
The commotion. of the sea is due to
the exceedingly violent character OF
the phenomenon. The funnel itself Is
probably. composed partly Of moisture
condensed out of air by the sudden
diminution Of pressure which occurs
and partly Of sea water in the form Of
spray. Sometimes the middle portion
Of the visible funnel is absent, but
there must in that case be a CORE
