The Assembly has taken one more step to-

passed, yesterday, the bill to amend the Central
Underground law, giving to the company
which works under it tho right to tunnel
Broadway from Bowling Green to Union
square, and thence construct an underground
rilway to One-hundred- red-and-twenty-secOnd
st. But the Senate is reported to favor rival
scheme-the Beach Pneumatic-and so the
deadlock is not yet removed In fact, the
prospect of reaching any practical conclusion of

Catholic Bishops have a good deal of trouble in
regulating funerals At the Cathedral in Rochester
last Sunday, Bishop McQuad informed his people
that hereafter not more than twelve hacks would be
allowed in funeral procession. Those who came
with greater equpago would find the cemetery,
gates locked. Nor would funerals be allowed Oh
Sunday if they could be conveniently arranged for
another day. Priests will not be permitted in funeral
dscourses to indulge in any eulOgy of the deceased
Those who did not like these regulations, the Bishop
aid might have their funerals outside the walls of
the church.

worthy. II on the other hand, AZ Napereau

OF his capacity tor public work. But at all

An Inland Sea That Yields Not Up
itS Dead.
San Francisco Bulletin.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Some twelve or fourteen persons have been
In Lake Tahoe within the past ten |
years; mono Of the bodies have ever been re-
covered. Superstition. ever ready to weave q |
sentiment from natures laws, asserted that !
there was doubtful mystery in the non-rc.
covery OF the drowned that in fact, mon
ster had its abode in this fresh water sea, and
that the bodies all passed into its capaciOus
NAV. The true explanation Of this mystery
never has been given. The non-appearance
Of the bodies is due to three causes The first
is the great purity Of the water and its cOnse-
quent lack Of huoyancy. browning is very
easy in 1t for this reason, though | have not.
ordinary difficulty in sustaining myself The
second and main cause is due TO the great
cOldncss of tic water. Even at this, the
warmest season, the surface of the water is rs
| cold rs the drinker desires it to be, but it is
warm there compared with its temperature at
a depth OF 100 or 200 feet. 1t is as cold there
| as the arctic heat OF an iceberg. When body
sinks in the lake to the depth required it is
frozen stiff The process, OF course, preserves
il, so that the gas which originates from decay
In other water is prevented, and distensiOn
checked. The body is thus kept in a state OF
greater specific gravity than the water In
which it IS suspended, and thereby prevented
from rising to the surface. The third cause
lies IN the great pressure of the pure water on
anything which is sunk to great depth in it
Corks placed on deep sea-nets are pressed
down In week to half their size; and one OF
the oldest residents of the lake expresses tht
belief that, by the time mans body has beer
suspended for week at depth Of about 2O'
feet lit is not likely that 1t ever reaches th'
cavernOus and fathOmless bottom Of the grea
lake, the compression of the water has le
duced its size to that of child's. Doubtles
. the idea of uncoftined suspension in such
i. 'wOrd Of water" is not pleasant one to con
template; but to be pressed into a solid mass
and suspended IN a liquid coffin of ice tenn
perature, is quitSas pleasant as interment an
mOuldering in the ground.
