Theory of liistaiieovx Death.
From (he New York Telegram.
In his iiaper, "Instant Death by Decap
itation an Impossibility, According to Bio
logical Analysis," read at the annual
meeting held in the Waldorf-Astoria, Dr.
J. Mount Bleyer, as the “father of elec
trocution in this country,” used for his
subject the problem of Dr. Canili of Par
is, “Docs the Stroke of the Guillotine
Cause Instant Death?”
“This revelation.'' said Dr. Bleyer, has
caused me to carry out a few exiieriments
from which I formulated a most plausible
theory. In my opinion, from all the facts
gathered, I an*l my assistant. Dr. Henry
F. Waite, concluded that what is to fol
low in this paper will be received as a
most rational explanation to the thinker
why such an instantaneous death is an im
possibility.” Continuing. Dr. BlPyer said
In part: “Dr. Cantil, who evidently must
be a keen observer to have brought to our
notice that absolute death does not follow
guillotining for several hours on account
of the fact that the brain finds nourish
ment for on hour after decapitation. Also,
during this time, the head of the victim
retains the sense of feeling, hearing, smell
until sight. Dr. Canili lays much strews
upon a point in connection with the blood
supply to the brain long after the head
has fallen into the basket. Conscience is
a most complex phenomena, nnd conscious
ness is a broad and sweeping term In ap
plying It in general in this connection af
ter decapitation.
"We cannot investigate the phenomena
of consciousness like we do the phenomena
of light and electricity. The detection of
consciousness for any length of time after
decapitation with its many varying com
plex phases moving onward is hardly pos
sible, so we can only theorize until we find
more positive proof that life is totally ex
tinct after decapitation. Gross physiology
anti psychology alone Is not enough to de
cide for us such on Intricate and delicate
Question, and we must therefore seek aid
among the collateral sciences.
“Is It possible that such a masa of liv
ing matter as the brain dies immediately
after decapitation? Protoplasm is known
to live for son.e time- outside of the body
when severed from its connections upon
which it lives. The blood of the body acts
as food and air supply to protoplasm, and
when this Is cut off does not immediately
kili the brain cell. It has not by any
means been proved by physiology alone
that In this condition the brain is dead to
Impulse.
"No one has proved as yet the, difference
between a dead nnd a living brain ceil.
How is it thus possible for me to know
exactly what a live brain cell looks like
from that In contradistinction to a dead
one? If we could differentiate between
them we could more easily ascertain how
long before the death of these ceils takes
Place. This would then solve the exact
life of a brain cell after corporal death.
I cannot believe that everv brain cell dies
simultaneously. The brain cell Is killed
by -preparing it ready so as to be made
demonstrable to the eye of the microscope.
Why. then, could it not be passible that
the brain cell does also retain its life, as
it is of the same constitution and same
powers as any other cells In the economy.
“Already we know that a muscle cell
responds to all kinds of stimuli by con
tracting, a gland cell by secreting; an
optic nerve can only experience the sensa
tion of light, whether stimulated by light,
worry, electricity or pressure. Irritability
is a fundamental property of living pro
toplasm, but Is manifest itself in specific
actions, according to the specific structure
of the protoplasm under the influence of
the external world.
“Another peculiar phenomenon deserves
epee la I mention, namely, the transmission
or conduction of stimuli. If a small por
tion of the surface of a protoplasmic body
is stimulated the effect produced Is not
limbed to this point, alone, but extends
to far outlying ends. Stimuli, as a whole,
are more Quickly transmitted in animal
than in vegetable bodies, in human nerves.
This accounts for the phenomenon ex
hibited in animal bodies long after death,
that w T hen a stimulus like lectricity is ap
plied to a piece of muscle or nerve a re
action is the immediate result, such as oon
tractlolr or twisted. This alone is another
proof that the cell has an independent life
and does not die when life is pronounced
by the physician or physiologist as being
extinct.
“Asa rule we are not in a position to
determine whether or not a body can be
stimulated, that is to say whether it re
acts Jo changes in its environment, since
most of the effects due to stimulation are
Imperceptible. The stimuli, perhaps, which
will be of most interest are those of gases,
anaesthetics and electricity, as they have
dally applications in surgery and metUsine.
On the other hand, in the physiological
economy the gases of the blood play a
princiiwl role. And In decapitation also
the problem revolves around blood and its
gasses. W c find that all cells absorb gases
and also substances in a fluid or dissolved
stale, and hence diffusible conditions. Fin
ally, many cells car. make use of solid
substances, as blood. Protoplasm finally
absorbs the most various kinds of sub
stances in a gaseous condllon. Without
oxygen life cannot continue. Asa rule,
the lack of oxyg.-n very quickly arrests
the functions of the ceil. But tjre find that
the cell stores up all food and respirable
gases and it therefore is shown that ihe
cell lives for a time upon Its own stores.
The irritability of the nerve cell is more
quickly lowered and finally destroyed than
that of the protoplasm of other cells,”
Dr, Bleyer here cited several examples
to prove that the irritability of animal
and vegetable protoplasm may be tempo
rarily destroyed without permanent harm
Continuing, he said.
"Taking all these scientific truths, which
thus far have Wn put forth and demon
strated to ns by experiment and observa
tion by the learned savants all over the
globe, we can readily conceive not only the
possibility that tilts independent life of the
fcA'’ ll docs not die as quickly as the outward
of our forms show and gra s
■hysiology points out to us. There is no
at present by pur coarse methods
of observation hew much time i requir-
and for death of the cell to become appar
ent in the organ .f the mind, the brain.
"Physiology teaches us that after* the
h. id lx arte red from the trunk and all
the blood suig'ly nnd nerves are discon
nected the direct los -of Wood, which acts
b.v arresting tiie cxeiiangc of gases in
the body and brain, tie., suffices for life
to end for a), practical purposes. But

A ncanine of the Conditions of Mili
tary Service in (lie Different t'onß
* tiles.
The Westminster Gazette publishes from
a correspondent the following summar
i:ed particulars of the conditions of mili
tary service Among European Powers;
In France—ln Fiance every man, un
less physically unfit, Is liable to service,
which begins wiien he is 21 and lasts for
twenty-five years. These twenty-five years
are usual.y spent as follows; Tin years
tel the active army-three In the ranks,
and seven in the reserve; then six years
in the territorial army, and the last nine
in tile res< rve of the territorial army. The
three years in the ranks of the active army
are reduced to two or one in the case
of those recruits who when enlisted draw
the hiffne t numbers, provided that at
fbe Did of the reduced period they are
thoroughly trained. Moreover, in time of
peace, those who are officially certified
as being supporters of families and teach
ers or students at certain educational in
stitutions are granted limited furloughs.
Men in the reserve of the active army
have eight weeks of drill, divided into
periods of four weeks' duration, while the
territorial army is only called out once
for fourteen days. The reserve of the ter
ritorial army, which was formerly exempt
from any annual exorc.se, is now drilled
in guard duty on property of railroad*,
telegraph and telephone lines, and canals.
In Russia—The Russian regulation ex
empt from service the clergy or all Chris
tian denominations and the psalm readers
of the orthodox church while receiving
their theological education; also, the peo
ples of certain Asiatic districts, together
with tiie Mahometans, are allowed to pty
a lax in lieu of mililary service. Only in
very rare cases, where great hardship
would result, is exemption from or post
ponement of active service granted to the
Russian citizen; but the educated classes
may reduce their term of active service
in the ranks by a period varying from
one to four years, according to the ex
tent of their learning, nnd whether they
enlisted voluntarily. The term of ser
vice in Russia is from tlio 21st year to
Hie end of the 43d. Eighteen years nro
passed in the aclivo army—five in the
ranks and thirteen irt the reserve. The
rest of their time is spent in (he imperial
militia. In the Cossack armies the age
whtn liability lo service commences is 18,
end i( lasts twenty years, four only of
which are spent in the active army The
Cossack militia, which is only called out
by Imperial order in the case of an extra
ordinary emergency, consists of all <Yis
sacks capable of serving, without regard
to ago.
In Germany—ln Germany the age for en
listment is 17, while the German's military
lire ends when he Is 46. He spends the
first three years in the Landstrum; then
for seven years he belongs to the standing
army—three in the ranks and four in the
reserve; during the next five years he
Is longs to the first levy of the Landwehr;
while his term with the second levy lasts
until March 31 of that year in which he
readies the age of 31. The rest of his time
lie passes in the I.andstrum aforesaid
Which is only for the defense of the coun
try, and in extraordinary emergencies for
Ihe completion of army or navy. The Er
satz reserve is composed of thos“ who
have not been enrolled in the active army,
either liecuusc the required number has
been made up, or because of slight bodily
infirmity, or on account of domestic re
lations. The term of service is twelve
years, and during that time the men may
be called out three times for a period of
twenty weeks in all. At the end of twelve
years they enter either the second levy
of the Landwehr or the first of the Hand
strum. Criminals are excluded from the
honor of belonging lo the army.
In Austria-Hungary—From 19 to 42 are
the age limits in AustriasHungary. Ten
years are spent in the army—three years
in line and seven in reserve. Under simi
lar conditions to those In Germany, some
men enter the Ersatz reserve without ser
ving in the active army; these also have
len years to serve. They first receive
eight weeks of training, and are after
wards called out every second or third
year. Those who have served their ten
years in the army have two years to put
in with the Landwehr or Ihe Ersatz re
serve. The Eandwehr can only be called
upon whep the country is threatened
With war. It is divided Imo two levies;
the first comprises all those who are lia
ble to service between the ages of 19 and
37. and the second levy those from 3S to
42.
In Ilaly—ln Ilal.v liability for service
commences when a man is 19, and endA
when he has completed his 39th vear.
Recruits are divided by lot into three
classes; those in the first class pass either
four or three years of active service, ac
cording to whether they belong to the cav
alry or to the other arms. During the
next five years they enjoy an "indefinite
army furlough,” at the end of which time
they join the mobile militia for four years
and the territorial militia for seven. The
men who find themselves in the second
class are liable to twelve years' service, of
which not more than eight years are spent
on "indefinite army furlough” and four in
the mobile militia; then until they reach
the age limit of 39 they belong to the ter
ritorial militia. In time of peace those
assigned to the third class are exempt
from service, and are enrolled in the ter
ritorial militia.

Shotting, a Strange Industry.
From Black nnd White.
Mr. Seppings Wright has come across
many curious trades arid peculiar methods
of earning a living in his wanderings
through ail corners of the globe, but the
business of shotting he discovered at
home, for it is daily pursued under the
eyes of thousands of holiday folks and
landsmen generally, who neither know nor
care what the longshoremen are about in
lheir fishing-boats a few miles from land.
But these busy workers are engaged upon
the business of "shotting," and the nature
of that peculiar occupation we will now
describe.
All royal navy men training for the rank
of seaman-gunner have to undertake a
more or less lengthy term of regular prac
tice iu firing, and for these men during
their period of training some two or throe
of the old-pattern gunboats are set aside.
These vessels are connected with every
dockyard and while obsolete for battle
purposes make excellent training ships.
They are, of course, fitted with approved
modern squads of embryo gunners to the
seaward ranges that lie outside the Spit
head forts. The bearings of these prac
tice grounds depend on the particular con
junction of certain objects ashore, and the
targets are generally placed in shoals
where a fair range can be commanded free
of traffic.
After a busy and noisy period go much

solid metal has been blazed away into the
sea, and It Is this metal that the shotters
set forth to recover when the gunboats
have done their task and return to the
dockyard. The ranges and the area in
which the cannon balls most probably lie
submerged are, of course, well known to
the searchers. Armed with experience and
a long ironshod |>ole they sail over the
ranges and probe the shallow bottom care
fully. Familiayity with their task renders
them skilful, and an expert knows in an
Instant when his pole touches the hidden
projectile beneath.
The shell found, a pair of huge tongs is
lowered into the sea, and it is gripped and
carefully lifted aboard. The price of tlv
metal shells is slight, and rarely exceed*
one penny halfpenny a pound, but the,
brass studs on the shot jiossess considera
bly more value, and these nre usually cut
out intact. Both studs and the main iron
fabric of the recovered shells are sold to
the royal navy, and the prices offered ap
pear sufficient to set many men at steady
work on the task of recovering them.
COURAGE OF NEGRO IN AFRICA.
Natives ot the Race Have Proven
Their Valor in Contests.
From the Ijondoti Spectator.
So far as the question of courage is con
cerned, the negro has proved his value in
every quarter of Africa, with the white
man against him. Certain races, like the
Kroo boys of the Liberian coast, appear
to have no stomach for a fight, although
the Krooman Is remarkable for physical
strength. We have never heard of dis
tinguished prowess among any natives of
the Congo region, though the Fans, who
inhabit the'Gaboon and Ogowe district*,
are said to be brave, as indeed their pro
fession of elephant hunting requires.
But, admitting that in some parts of
Africa men can only be made soldiers, as
the Egyptians have been, against the
grain and by the slow growth of confi
dence In the superiority of their officers
and their armament, there is no want ot
material to pick from. The Seedee boys
of the Somali seaboard have a great name
as fighters, and are said to be the only
population which instinctively hits from
the shoulder in the English fashion.a char
acteristic which endears them, we .Relieve,
to the British sailor. (It is notable, by
the way, that a large percentage of pro
fessional pugilists are negroes). Yet we
never heard of Seedee boys enlisted un
der British colors.
The Masai, who live inland, and Mom
basa have proved their courage against
ns as well as to the sorrow of their neigh
bors, and they are essentially a fighting
tribe for whose energies in this direction
some outlet will have to be provided.
When civilization comes into contact with
a race of this kind it must either enlist
or exterminate—as we have done with the
dervishes, many of whom took service in
the Egyptian army after the Atbara. But
South Africa affords the most striking in
stance of a neglected opportunity.
Here, ns our frontier advanced, we came
into contact with two branches of an ex
ceptionally fine race, the Zulus. It is hard
ly necessary to recall how Chaka deliber
ately organized his people for war; he
made mililary service compulsory on all
males and actually forbade marriage
among the young men except with his
permission. The warriors, enrolled in dif
ferent impis, we* kept In military kraals,
which were, in effect, barracks, under a
savage discipline, and cowardice was more
dangerous than valor, for after every cam
paign the troops were assembled at the
Cowards' tree and inquiry .held if any had
been slack In action. Cetewayo revived the
Dragonlc spirit of this discipline, though
he reorganized his army for the use of
firearms.
The resuß was TKnt many fled over the
border to escape the service, and these
men were not infrequently employed
against the Zulus. Serving with white
men as half-drilled troops, they did not
distinguish themselves, and It has been
Inferred that, If Cetewayo's men charged,

This we hold to be a mistake. Experi
ence points to the fact that the African of
a fighting tribe, when entirely free from
European Influence, is brave as a man can
lie; that the African who has fairly set
tled down among Europeans is not Jess
brave, but that the negro when just touch
