TOPSY TURVYDOM. INSTANCES OF STRANGE CON
TRASTS IN JAPAN.
Here are a few of the strange inver sions of the usual, and of Western ideas and customs in Japan. Upon entering
house a Japanese gentleman does not take off his hat; he takes off his shoes. A student does not commence to read a book at the beginning (as wo have it), but at the end. And instead of the lines crossing the page they run up and down it. He reads also from the right to left pago, and not the reverse way, as we do. The footnotes are placed at the top; and the greater margin is also there. Ancient Japanese' clocks have station. ary hands The faces revolve backwards, with the hours marked 7, 6, 5, 4, etc.. reckoning onward from noon.

HEART BEATS AFTER DEATH
MEDICAL WITNESS PUZZLED.
An inquest was held at Acton on June 50th on Loo Major, atman in the em of Albert terrape, Stonebridge Park, a ploy of the Paddington Borough Council
The widow stated that had served in the Far East for about five years dur ing the war, but had never complained of malaria or sunstroke or of his health having beer affected. About Whitsuntide he became very drowsy, with severe pains in the head, but he continued to work until a fortnight before when he suddenly became worse, and he was ordered into the Park Royal Hospital on June 14th:
Dr. Turner, medical superintendent, said the man wae admitted suffering from drowsiness, stiffness of the muscles of the neck, and headache. As it was advisable to test his spinal fluid ether and chloro- form were administered at 11.20 on June The operation, a simple one for
16th the purpose of diagnosis, took only half a minute, but the man ceased to breathe, although his heart continued to beat well Artificial respiration-was continued up to 7.33. p.m., when the heart-beating crased.
Witness agreed with the coroner that it was most extraordinary case, and mentioned that he took a tracing of the heart at 5.30. The post-mortem examina tion had revealed a tumour about the size of a partridge egg on the right side of the brain, and that was undoubtedly the cause death. The tumour was being examined, and they were awaiting results. The tumour, however,
had connection with the continuance of the heart beating, which witness could

Do
explain. It was not unusual for respira tion to cease temporarily and the man to go on living, but it was most extra- ordinary for the heart to go on beating for such length of time after respira tion had ceased.
The coroner entered a verdict of death from actural causes, and found that the anesthetic, which had been properly ap plied, had nothing to do with the cause that the heart had continued of death; to beat in this extraordinary way was due to something not accounted for.
