SOPORIFIC SERMONS.
Scientific Explanation of a Failing of
Church -Going Humanity.
The well-known explanation that the
stuffiness of the atmosphere in a church
is the cause of sleepiness in members of
the congregation es, according to the
Revue Sclentifique (Paris) "insufficient."
If this ]hypothesis were tenable, argues
our authority, it is manifest that the
oougregatton, or those members of it
who react readily to a soporific agent,
would go to' sleep before the sermon llta
ingNow, it ie notorious that the sleep-
la done during the sermon. The true
eltplanation is that the auditor uncon-
soigwty hypnotizes himself or herself by
ooaoentrating the gaeo fora long period
on a single object, whether the counten-
ance of the preacher or the pulpit, or
what .not. The mare desperate the effort
to heed the sermon the enter this effect
of self-hypnotization, 'those who sleep
during the sermon are, consequently, the
very members of a congregation who are
entitled to the highest praise for their
conscientious effort to follow the words
of the preeeher,--Current Literature for

To obviate the enormous amount of
time lost in the Ceylon pearl fisheries in
opening oysters which are found to bo
without pearls a h'reeeh professor of the
University of Lyons some time ago hit
upon the idea of using tho X-rays to as-
certain what was the nature of the con-
tents of the precious molluscs, in order
that only the most valuable ones would
treed to be opened. The idea was found
to be impracticable on account of the
time it took, but now au American has
constructed an X-ray apparatus, provid-
ed with a 1101101' arrangement, which

In Deutsche Rundechnu it is stated
that Hongkong is an ideal colony. Mir

and German colonization is going on

the port, of some four and a quarter
million too burden. This does not in -
elude the huge number of Chinese boats
and junks, Tato total yearly trade in
this free port is reckoned at a thousand
million narks, and the total exports aro
not equaled by any seaport in the world.
The Britieh lead there in trade, fol-
lowed by the Chinese; then come the
Germane, the Japanese, the french, the
American:, the Norwegians, the Austri-
ans, the Danes, the Ilolgiano, the
Swedes, and last of all, the Portuguese,
It is interestieg to note that the (hutch

To Put a Faucet in a Barrel.
It is no easy took to place a barrel
in position after the faucet ham been in-
serted. The following simple expedient
will make it easier: First, stand the
barrel on end. Bore the hole for the
faucet in the usual way and then plug
it with a cork. Shave the cork off close
to the barrel. Having placed the barrel
in position, put the end of the faucet
squarely and firmly oil the cork, Delve
it into tine barrel, forcing the cork

makes it tight.

VEGETARIANISM.
German Professor Considers It is Not
Suitable for Europoane.
An absolute ,vegotarian diet isnot
stilted to the needs and interests of ling
111 u. races, This 19 the conclusion of a
Apttzseh, of Berlin. He says, in purl:
'Phe vegetarian diet is not suited to Eu-
ropean organs; but, relieved by the addi-
tionof milk,grain, butter, cheese, eggs,
s
,
ete.tt offers many idvantores. It
alka-
lizes the blood, it regulates tho circula-
tion and preserves the elasticity 'of the
arteries.
"It makes ono less liable to danger
from maladies of the skin and of the
joints and to oougestion of the internal
organs. It tends to loss agitation and ag-
gressiveness, As a system of nourish-
ment it ie rational enough. Should the
wish be for a [Hilder race 710 diet would
be superior. Yet an absolute vegetarian
diet is impossible for the white races,
because. the digestive tract of Europeans
(and Amorieens) has long since been
