Show loath by fall time beeu eullected by Prof. Helm, of Berlin, who finds that the feelings are by no means such as the witnesses of the accidents imagine. The victooi retains his knowledge of what is noing on, suffers no pain or paralyxng iterror. but has his mental faculties aroused to marvellous activity In a few brief moments hia past life passes before him. The thoughts, the purposes, the deeds, of years long forgotten for-gotten , many of them are compressed into the seconds of his rush through the air to the earth. Then a gentle ringing fills his ears. He hears his body strike, bat does not feel It, nd the rapid visions ef the seemingly long time of his fall fade away into unconsciousness The testimony of all, even of ttose who have retained consciousness, is that no pain is felt. In a fall In the Alps, at the end of which he was still perfectly conscious, Mr, Whymper bounded from rock to rock with ubsoluce'y no pain; and those who have had limbs broken by falls, or on the battle field, have been unable to tell the limbs affected until after trying to use them. AGR1CULTU AL EXHIBIT. ( Prof Sanborn Will Collect Utah's Products for tha Worlds Fair To the eiiizons of Utah: By request of the Utah World's Fair commission I shall collect the agricultural agricul-tural exhibit for this territory. The interest of no state or territory will be so well served by a good exhibit as that of Utah, and every sitizen should feel a personal interest in making the exhibit of Utah's resources and industries indus-tries complete. I solicit the advice and assistance of any citizen who can aid in securing rare specimens, or in securing material mater-ial along the following lines that we wish represented in the division of agriculture. agri-culture. This department will collect and represent the agricultural fertilizers, such as gypsum, nitrate of soda, or any other material suitable for plant food, together with river waters and analyses of the same. It will exhibit its irrigation system by photographs, drawing's and otherwise, other-wise, including dams, reservoirs, canal scenes and irrigation scenes. It will collect the typical soils of the territory and show them in a eolnmn as they stand in the soil. It will collect the farm machinery, models of farm machinery, and early appliances of either the farm or the household that have been invented or made in the territory. I particularly desire that the early farm appliances and models of new inventions may be gathered. A largo painting showing the unique vlilago farm system of Utah with surrounding sur-rounding couuty, will be exhibited together to-gether with views of some of the farm homes and farm .methods of Utah, by means of paintlngs.or drawing.or photographs. photo-graphs.

All classes of crops with their products, pro-ducts, will be shown, and in the flora of the territory will be included the wools and a collection of our most distinctive flowering plants. It is desired that the farmers having specially fine samples of any economic plant growing in Utah will notify me of the same, and, on request, re-quest, forward the samples. Our principle prin-ciple root crops will be enclosed in jars for preservation. A case of our rare birds, and probably a few of our four-footed wild beasts may be shown, such as the Rocky Mountain sheep and Rocky Mountain goat, perhaps per-haps a Buffalo. I would be pleased to secure a Rocky Mountain sheep and Rocky Mountalu goat, as they belong to classes of domesticated animals.
