Dr, Beim, the celebrated geologist and
p00115900 of the Zurich University, declares
that midden death by a tall, by being rim

the most beautiful way of leaving this
life—is indeed preferable to any other
mode or fashion of departure for the an.

o To drop from a precipice,' says the
doctor, means, subjectively speaking, as
glorious an end to the viebim of Ileeidea as
death on the battlefield, It strikes man

bodily dissolution, sickness and pain, while
the mind is olear and during iuoreased
mental activity he takes eight without the

" The relatieee and friends of persons
having suffered eudden death of ten lament
their fate for a special reason that has no
existence in fast. They dream of horrible
tenures to which the departed, in theiropiobsn,
opinion, have been subjected. Others got
ever the shock by saying to themselves,
' Thank the Lord, it was all over in a
jiffy.' In reality, there was nothing to
overcome. The death agony—if, indeed,
we can speak of such under the oircurn-
stanees—did not last a minute, neither
was it of a second's duration. If it had
been, its photographic counterpart would
appear on the victim's face but if you

many cases, resigned to their fate.
.1 have viewed the bodies of the brothers
Wettatein, who recently died by falling off
the Jungfrau. The fame of both these
young men bore the ',tamp of serene happi-
ness. 1 -am quite sure that, as they were
rolling to their graves, they experienced
the same lofty feelings that 1 and others
underwent while standing at the threshold
of eternity. Their happy and composed
features indicate that at the time of death
they were above physical pains, that they
had made their peace wits God and the
world ;s conciliatory feeling dominated
their minds ; they were rushing down into
a blue, rosy, magnificent heaven, so soft,
so blisaful—and then suddenly all was
still.
"In case of accident followed by sudden
death the state of unoonsciousness is not
preceded by 1107 pain, and while the body
is approaching this condition a seooud 15
equal to a thousand years in duration to
the mind of the stricken person. When

with infinite suddenness. Death, following
iu the wake of uutionseionsneas, works no
change physically or mentally perceptible
by its victim ; the state of ,quietude, of
painless expatiation, remains unshak-
en.
"No, there is not even that feeling -of
paralyzing terror in inning sudden death,
or what appears like sudden death,
which overcomes one in the event of lesser
danger. Neither myself nor the half hun-
dred rescued vietime et Alps climbing
whom I have interviewed on the question

myself and my colleagues in danger--
oorreeponded in all respects, we were
serene ; our mode of thinking was uncom-
monly rapid, but at tho same time full of
deif-possefteion.
Dr. Beim gives the following description
of his journey down a mountain side,
which, as he fully expected, would end in
certain detain..
"1 was coining with two friends from
the summit of the Santis in 80. Gallen,
when, at the height of 5,400 feet, we found
ourselves appoint° a snow field lying be.

tion. After that my thoughts turned upon
the consequences which my death would
have for my family; I must try to save
myself for the sake of my wife and children',

are probably lamed by terror, and I must
double their energies by oiling for help, if
I can. A good way to spur them,I thought,
would be to cry out, am all safe, but
must have a drink at once.' Then I man-
aged to be present when the news of my
death reached home. I heard my wife aud
children cry and lament,and I tried to eon.
dole with them. I even tracked jokes in
this endeavor. Again I saw with my mind's
eye the confusion that Would reign in the
university on account of my failure to begin
lecturing, That brought back to me all
my struggles, in early training, my trials,
and small triumphs. My life from child-
hood to manhood glided past my mental
observation like a living picture, vivid, im-
pressive, joyful, and sorrowful, as it' had
been.

in quick succession, each figure being die-

at my present state and condition I saw a
magnificent blue heaven opening to receive
me. All was serene happiness, while rosy

the above desoribed sensation of going to
heaven is not a very strong argument for
the teachings of the Chrietian religion. The
mind of man becomes clear and pure on the
threshold of eternity ; it becomes the most
wonderful machinery for thought and ob.

aside ?

not an exceptional one. Reconsider the
following facts : I, like the others, had
about made up my mind that I was to die,
which means that I was to enter upon a
new lease of spiritual life in eternity. The
rapidity of perception peculiar to a person
in that state then placed me into my new
sphere, even before I was ripe for it, which

But if there be nothing, beyond this life

phenomena ? Why not a blank instead of
a paradise? When conecioueness left me

mind's eyes were filled with heavenly
visions to the last. Who will explain it
