Tlio story of a wlialo as told by Mate Sclilaikorof tho good ship Am1 rum is as follows: "Tho Amrum loft Progrcso, Mex ico, with a cargo of lioiup, bound for ( this port. For tho first fow days out ; wo had such dolightful woathor that J thoso of tho crow who wero super! stitious declared that something ro! markablo would liap])en hoforo wo i roacliod port. "Tho officors, of course, paid no j attention to thoni until wo ran into , heavy northeast winds and seas that ran mountains high. Then wo be| gan to think that perhaps tlicy woro'j right, and wo felt that tho rcmarkablo thing had happened after 0110 Of | the soamon was washed from the top of tho dockhouso by r. hugo | comber that broke over us and was ; carried tho entire length of tho ship, 210 feet, and 3 inches, without being seriously hurt. "That in itsolf was remarkable, hut it was nothing as compared to an occurrence on Dee.

A Star writer was asking tlio A>liyBioian a great many questions and getting answers to them, while tlio physician wasn't getting a cent of pay for tlio part bo was performing. 1 "By tbo way," inquired Tlio Star man, "do you iliiuk that a somnambulist can soo?" "Do you mean when bo is awako or when bo is somnambulizing, so to speak?" smiled tbo physician. "While bo is somnambulizing, of courso. I'm not talking about blind men." "Well, I won't answer your question directly, but I'll tell you a story which may go as an answer. About ten years ago I bad a roommate, a young fellow who was a student in tbo medical college, and a bright young fellow bo was too. llo was fond of shooting, and to keep up bis . practieo bo bad a fmo nirgun, and bo i converted tbo ball 011 tlio third floor, which wo occupied, into a shooting gnllerj'. I used to tako a hand myself every timo I bad a chance, and -sometimes for an hour at a timo bo wouut oo Hanging nway at tlio target lio hud fixed at the far end of the hall. "Ono morning I en mo in from a patient's ahout iJ o'clock and found 1 tlio whole upper story dark. I lit tho gas in tlio front room, which wo used as a sitting room, and was | about to go out and light tlio gas in tho liall, when tho young fellow 1 camo walking in from our sleeping i room, attired in his nightclothes, . and with Ins eyes wide open. I spoko to hhn, thinking something was tho matter with him, hut ho did not an ; swer, and in a minute I sav? that ho was walkirg in his sleep. "This was not altogether unusual with him, hut I had never caught him in tho act before and concluded I would watoh hint. lio camo diI rectiy across tho room, going around j a oh lir end a table that stood in liis ; path, and opening a drawer whore lie kept tho uirgun ho took it oat, ; and then ho loaded it, get'dug tlio | small builots wo ttscd out < f a box , on tho mantelpiooo. This box lio ! stuck into what would li ivo been hi.5 (oat pocket, if ho had had a coat | on, but as i 10 hadn't tlio box fell to tho floor, which ho took no roto of.

''I! * was wide aw a lee in a 111 invito and began laughing and nshiny mo what liad happened. I told him, and wo at oneo lit the gas in th 1 hall and examined the target. Tho target had been repainted af ter wo had had our last praetico, so that we could scj plainly who ru his bullet had hit, and I assure y< u ho had mado almost a center shot. No v," eonehideu th. physician, "in the lighted room ho missed ail tho furniture in hi i way, and in the thirl: hall ho had hit th ? target. Do you think ho could sec. or couldn't be?" Tlio answer wasn't < uito satisfactory as an answer, but it made a problem to wrestle with, and tho physician kindly can- sited to let i his questioner liyi'.ro it out to suit I mmsoii.? \\ asninpton M:u\ Wliy IIo Ceas* ?!

There is no doubt but.wbat bis work, as far as tbo development of engineering was conoerned, almost retarded the progress, at least for a very short time, but he has opened a field which to future generations may hoof as much, possibly of more, importanco than all the practical applications of olootrioity today. We rofor to tho physiological cifoots of the oloctrio ourronts. Now, as wo approach tho end of anothor century, another experiment on tadpoles lias boon mado, which in our minds' eyemny have tremendous consequenco. Dr. Wallor has observed that tadpoles face the positive pole when an clectrio ourrent is sont through tho trough in wbioh they live. This is cortainly a re. markable fact, and wo hop? sinoerely that this matter may not be taken up as a matter of ridiouloorof play, for thoro may bo hidden in this simple experimental fact a vast deal of knowledge; not that wo want to prophesy, but on tho face of it it does not soem impossible that this simpin fact should bo tho commence- i ment of a knowlcdgo of olootro-pbysiologv, which in 100 years from t now might in perfection he sooond to not to of our descriptive soionces. ?Max Ostorborg i?i Elootrio Power.
