holtz has determined the velocity of ner

and cold-blooded animals. In a fro2. he

louuu tne velocity to be about eighty feet
a second, or less than one-thirteenth of the
velocity of sound in air. If this holds

of a whale, then a creature of this class

conscious of the injury till a second after hours afterward the man revived, but
the wound had been inflicted. But thisnew nothing about what had occurred,
is not the only ingredient in the delay ;save the fact of his looking up at the
that occurs between the impression on the branches. This was his last act of con
nerves and the consciousness of the iui- sciousness, and he passed from the con
pression. There can scarcly be a doubt scious to the unconscious condition with
that to every act of consciousness belongs !out pain. The visible marks of a light

a distant portion of the body, has reach
ed. the brain, a still further time is neces
sary for the brain itself to put its house
in order for its molecules to take up the
positipn necessary to the completion of
consciousness. Helmholtz considers one
tenth of a second necessary for this pur
pose. Thus, in the case of the whale, we '
have one second consumed in the trans-
mission of intelligence through the censor
nerves from the tail to the head; one-j tery went through his body. Here life

mand to the tail to defend itself. Thus
iii i. i
more than two seconds would elapse be
fore an impression made upon its caudal
nerves could be responded to by a whale
eighty feet long.
Now, it is quite conceivable that an in
jury might be inflicted which would ren
der the nerves unGt to be the conductors
of the motion which results iu sensation ;
and if such a thing occurred, no matter
now severe the injury might be, we should
not be conscious of it. Or it may be, that
long before the time required for the brain
itself to complete the arrangement neces
sary for the act of consciousness, its pow
er of arrangement might be wholly sus
pended. In such case alone, though the
injury might be of such a nature as to
cause death, this would occur not only
without pain, but absolutely without feel
ing of any kind. Death, in this case,
would be simply the sudden negation of
life, accomplished without any interven
tion of consciousness. Doubtless, there
are many kinds of death of this character.
The passage of a musket bullet through
the brain is a case iu point; and the placid
aspect of a man thus killed is in perfect
accordance with the conclusion which
might be drawn a priori from the exper
iments of Helmholtz. Cases of insensi
bility, moreover, are not uncommon, which
do not result in death, and after which
the person, affected has beeu able to testi
fy that no pain1 was felt prior to the loss
of consciousness.
The time required for a rifle-bullet to
pass through a man's head may be rough
ly estimated at one-thousandth of a sec
ond. Here, therefore, wc should have no
room for sensation, and death would be
painless. But there arc other actious
which far transcend in rapidity that of the
rifle-bullet. A'flash of lightning cleaves
a cloud, appearing and disappearing iu
less than one-hundred thousauhth of a
second; and the velocity of electricity is
such as would carry it over a distance
equal to that. which separates the earth
and moon in a single second. It is well
known that a luminous impression once
made upon the restina endures for about
one-sixth of a second, and that this is the
reason why we see a ribbon of light when
a glowing coal is caused to pass rapidly
through the air. A body illuminated by
an instantaneous flash continues to be
seen for the sixth of a second after the
flash has become extinct; and if the body
thus illuminated bo in motion, it appears
at rest at the place which it occupied
when the flash fell upon it. The color
top is familiar to most of us. By thi3
instrument a disk with differently colored
sectors is caused to rotate rapidly ; the
colors blend together, and if they are
chosen in the proportions necessary to
form white light, the disk appears white
when the motion is sufficiently rapid.
Such a top, rotating in a dark room, and
illuminated by an electric spark, appears
motionless, each distinct.color being clear
ly seen. Professor Dove has found that
a flash of lightning produces the same
effect. During a thunder storm he put
a color-top in exceedingly rapid motion,
and found that every flash revealed top
as a motionless object, with

tinct. If illuminated solely by a flash o
lightning, the motion of all bodies on the
earth's surface would, as Dove has re
marked, appear suspended. A cannon-
ball, for example, would have its flight
apparently arrested, and seem to hanjr
motionless in space as long as the lumin

Had no memorv of mm. Tim foil
circumstantial case is described by Hem
mer. On the 30th of June, 1788, a soldier
in the neighborhood of Mannheim, being
overtaken by rain, placed himself under a
tree, beneath wliinli n wnmnn lmil
, ! I M IW b U t,M IM II 111 C-
: viousty taken shelter, lie looked upward
! to see whether the branches were thick
enough to afford the required protection,
i and just then was struck by lightning,
and fell senseless to the earth. The wo-
who is verv sensitive to the nlpetrin dis
,
charge, may be here described. Under
ordinary circumstances, the discharge
from a small Leydcn jar is exceedingly
uuplascant to him. Some time ago he
happened to stand in the presence of a
numerous audience, with a battery of fif
teen large Leydeu jurs charged beside
him. Through some awkward nnss nn Iii'q
part, he touched a wire whieli should nnf
be touched, and the discharge nf tbo W.
self in the nresence of his audienne nnd
apparatus, and, by the help of these ex
terual facts, immediately concluded that
he had received the battery discharge.
His intellectual consciousness of his
position was restored with exceeding ra
pidity, but not so his optical conscious
ness. To prevent the audience from be
ing alarmed, he observed that it had often
been his desire to receive accidentally
a shock and that his wish had at length
been fulfilled. But while making this re
mark, the appearance which his body pre
sented to him was that of a number of
sepasate pieces. The arms, for example,
were detached from the trunk, and seem
ed suspended in the air. In fact, memo-
ry, ana tne power o reasoning, appeared
to be complete long before the optic nerve
was restored to healthy action. But what
wc wish chiefly to dwell upon here is the
, ,i . ,
absolute painlessness of the shock ; and
there cannot be a doubt that in the case
of a person struck dead by lightning, the
passage from life to death occurs without
consciousness being in the least
degree
implicated, it is an abrupt stoppag
sensation, unaccompanied by a paug.

foreman told him that they were goino- to
dc boiled down to make ketchup. At
that time (Dr. Parker continues thnr
defp.nd.mr, nntamrl :
entered tne premises. whns
attention he called to the putrid state of
the livers, and asked him if his name
was Hope. He replied that it was, and
produced a printed bill, of which tho
following is a copy : Hope & Co's Lei
cestershire Ketchup; warranted pure,
agreeably to act of Parliament 23 and 24
Vict. c. 84, entitled an act for prevent
ing the adulteration of food or drink "
The magistrate asked if the livers were
fit for human food or human consump
tion. Dr. Parker replied in the negative;
they had all a dark appearance, showing
decay and putrecence, and gave off such
a stench that his hands stank for hour
afterwards."
Mr. nope appears to have obeved the-
summons willingly enough, conscious,,
probablythat there vas no law sufficient
to hold him amenable, and so it resulted,,
for the sapient magistrate save his decis!
1 ion in the following terms : "In looking
at the act of Parliament he found some
difficulty in the way of conviction, and
thought the act did not apply to a mere
preparation, but simply to food to be di
rectly consumed, nc should like to have
the opinion of the Court of Queen's
Bench on the subject, as he considered it
rather important. He thought the liquor
from putrid liver a very poisonous ingre
dient, but still he doubted whether theact
of Parliament met the present informa
tion. The defendant must be discharg
ed.
And so Mr. nope went back to the fac
tory to work up his putrid livers into
" pure' Leicestershire sauce," to be eaten'
at the tables of the aristocracy ot Eng
land, and greedily bought up by epicures
in all quarters of the world, for Messrs.
! Hope & Co. supply the trade from Lon
don to Australia.
There' is a moral to be drawn from this
affair. Properly speaking, there is more
than one. Tho first
i v ....j. mil uubuiuiii nun-
gest itself to your readers, and that is ttf
1 avoid purchasing Hope & Co 's "Pure
! Leicestershire Sauce," whenever it may
be remembered to them bv their trW
men. 'ibc other is of a far different and
wider character.
We have heard a good deal of lato
about the "municipal law" of England.
Now, if this muuicipal law be so feeble in
its operation that Messrs. Hope & Co,
may freely sell "pure Leicestershire
sauce" manufactured from putrid nig3' liv-
ersi lfc stands to reason that wc ouirht not
; to expect it to be more effective wYicn pi-
i raticai vessels are built and lifted oat m
Jimglisu ports for the purpose of preying
upou tne peaceable commerce of a nation
with which England professes
to be in
friendship. If British law cann
ot protect
British subjects against the dissemination
of poisonous ketchup, how can it be ex
pected to prevent red-handed piracy on
the part of its own naval reverse ? You
Americans have been altogether wrong in
fancying that the British Government
singled you out as the objects of its re
sentment. Stubborn facts prove that you
are treated no worse than they treat thier
own people, and you certainly ought not
to expect to be treated batter. While
England destroys your commerce by a
system of protective piracy, she at tho
same time poisous her owu peopleby
ketchup made of putrid pigs' livers.
A bill has passed both Houses of tho
Legislature, and will probably be signed
by tho Governor, equalizing bounties.
It provides that all veteran volunteers
who have not received any local bounty,
nor" given their credit to localities out
side the Siato, shall bo paid SSOO by such
city, county, ward or borough as received
credit for their rc-cnlistmcut. Sohool
Directors or other propor officers aro
required to levy taxes for the payment of
these bounties. If tho veteran has since
died his legal representatives aro entitled
to collect tho money
