took the necessary observations, and his notes are recorded below. There may be summarized as follows:-Herr Maclay was in normal health, and had fasted eighteen bears before commending the experiment. He had never smoked tobacco. Twenty-seven pipes, equivalent to 107 grains of the opium, used by the Chinese, were smoked in two and three quarter hours, at tolerably regalar intervals. The third removed the feeling of hunger cansed by his long fast, and his pulse rose from 72 to 80. The fourth and fifth oaused slight heaviness and desire "for sleep, but there was no hesitation in giving correct answers, though he could not gaide himself about the room. After the seventh pips the pulus fell to 70, The twelfth pipe was followed by singing in the ears, and after the thirteenth he laughed heartily, though without any cause that he can remember. Questions asked af this time were answered only after a pause, and not always correctly. He bad for some time ceased to be conscious of his actions. After the twenty-fifth pipe questions asked in a loud tone were not answered. After the last pipe had been smoked he remarked, "I do not hear well." Forty minutes later there was a slight return of consciousness, and he said, "I am quite bewildered. May I amoke some more Is the man with the pipe gone aiready?". Fifteen minutes later (4.45 P.M.) he was able to go home, and

During the next day he felt as if he had bees in great hollow in his head, as well as a slight headache. The organs of locomotion were first affected, next came sight and hearing, but Herr Maclay is very positive that there were no dreams, hallucinations, or visions

We see, therefore, that with every day that passes masonry becomes more and more popular with educated natives of all the various sects; and Mr Gibbs showed a right appreciation of the value of this new reforming agency when he became the enthusiastic leader of the English masons of Bombay. To his long experience in managing masonic lodges he is no doubt indebted for that plenanat facility of speech and for much of that urbanity of manner, for which he is distinguished.
