to Peek rain,
le it poeeible':for a man to be able'
to walk, talk, and use hie :nusetes,
to. be in Lull possession of all bis
mental powers, and yet be unable to
feel pain?
That is what a laborer named
Oeeld Burns declared was his cage
after an accident, on a certain rail-
way in the Old Country, and he sued
the company for £2,0.90 for the loss -
of bis sense of feeling. To prove his
statement, he placed upon tbe back
of alis hand Blighted matoh and stood.
immovable until the splinter of resin-
ous wood burnt itself out, • He was
awarded „a sum of £1,400 as cope.
pen settee.
As may easily be imagined, nothing
is more difficult for a jury than to
render an equitable decision in cases
'of this , description. Most doctors,
however, admit that it is possible for
a human beingto lose permanently
the 'power of sensation; and the ease
of the American mechanic Denim'.
who, after .a severe illness,t lost all
sense of pain, Is quoted as evidence.
On one occasion, having had a finger
badly crushed,. Donkey calmly ampue,
tated it with a razor.
At the •came time, there are cer-
tain criminals who, by various tricks,
render themselves temporarily insena-
ible to pain, and so succeed in swin-
dlfng insurance or other corporations.
out of substantial sums, Some years
ago a man was 'convicted in Lnndon:'
for a fraud of this kind.
He sued a tramway company :or
£800, alleging that a fall in dismount-
ing had deprived him of sensation.
He permitted pins to be run deep in-
to his legs without flinching.. But it
was eventually proved that he had
previously soaked his limbs in ice-
cold water, and so produced an arti-
ficial numbness.
The most curious case of loss of
sensation was the subject of a suit
brought about a year ago in the Unit-
ed States court at Brooklyn. A lab-
orer, named Joseph eLipsitz, sped the
New York; New Haven, and Hartford
Railway Company, claiming that, as
the result of an accident on, the line,
he had injured his spine and lost all
power' of sensation. He asked for
£4,000 damages.
Lipsitz ; declared himself willing
to stand any ordeal which might
prove that he was not shamming.
The court was cleared, the man was
stripped, and a white-hot cautery,
such as is used in surgery, was ap-
plied to his bare flesh. He stood im-
movable, smiling..
Again and again the glowing point
'was pressed ; against his flesh. The
spectators held their breath, and star-
ed, fascinated. Yet the man remain-
ed the least, concerned off any -in
court.
At last even the opposing counsel
were convinced, and Lipsitz won his
case.

Stra-ge Howlers Found In Pictures
In Royal Academy.
ere are no doubt mistakes and
anachronisms to be sound in the pic-
tures at present hanging in the Royal
Academy.
But the days of real anachronism
belong to a past age, when artists of
been living with, their son Ed.,,' moved Florence and Venice painted the sta-
into town last week and are occupy- ble of Bethlehem like a palace, the
peasant virgin like a queen, and the
Apostles and martyrs like grand
dukes.
In a picture representing the death
of "the lying prophet," the dead man
wears coat and trousers. In Poussin's
great picture "The Deluge" there are
quite a number of private boats cruis-
ing about, whilst the same. artist's
"Saint Jerome" shows the saint look-
ing with much interest at an eight-
day clock, although, sucha timepiece
was •notinvented until hundreds of
years later.
Albert borer, in his picture en-
titled "TheBirth of the Virgin," re-
produces a tent bedstead, a commo-
dious cooking -range, and an array of
china candlesticks surmounted by
modern candles; whilst another
transgressor, in a picture entitled
'"The Expulsion , from Paradise,"
makes a flight of hewn and polished
stone teps leading, out of the Gar-
den of Eden.

A Spanish .artist represents Abra-

tural knife. In a picture of St. An-

supposed to have preached to the
fishes of the sea, the artist has put
among his scaly congregation quite
a number of boiled lobsters.
Cain . anything surpass this? The
parable of the mote and the beam is
the subject of the picture. Evidently
the artist confounded "mote" with
"moat," for he has represented a
perfect cascade of water pouring from
one of the man's eyes, whilst from
the other a huge •log of wood pro-
trudes.
Another picture of about the same
period represents a handsome pairof

Oddities of the Halibut.
Very few of those who purchase
and enjoy halibut have ever seen a
halibut head. In company with floun-
ders and soles, the head is unsym
metrically formed. One eye is appar-
ently in' the centre of the forehead
and the other on the side, quite close
to the central eye. One side is dark
greyand the other side cream in
color. The upper side, whether right
or left, is colored, while the, eyeless
side is white, or very nearly so. It
is well known that in the very young
flounder the body rests upright in the
water. After a little while they turn
to one side, and the lower eye be-
gins its reigratidn to the other side.
In• the tropical species the movement
of the eye is easily followed, as they
reach a larger size than do meet
flounders before the change taken

What other places think of iti
Orillia "The very novelty of it
made people Iisten."
Midland "The debate is. truly
splendid. Any visit of a similar nat-
ure would be assured of a packed aud-
itorium.
Belleville -"The whole debate is ad-
mirable in conception and it was ex-
ceedingly well renderedI do not
think I ever listened to more instruc-
tive and impressive temperance les-
son.,'
Midland -"It was certainly unique,.
interesting and educative. .The facts
and arguments presented dealt with
the very identical points that are up-
permost in the public mind jut now."
Oshawa .."It gets across to the pub-
lic in an interesting and gripping way"
Teterboro -"As a happy combina-
tion of entertainment and instruction,
logic and humour, fascinating interest
and striking conclusions, it excels an -
thing yet presented along the lineof
education in.the interests of the pro-
hibition movement."
Barrie --"It was a huge success in
that it was an unique presentation of
the whole prohibition question. Grip -
pod and held the rapt attention of the
big audience (completely filling the
Opera House) from 'the first move
ment to the last by close argument,
fact and wholesome fun."
