the human family inhabiting the earth has
been estimated at !, OOO, 100000; the annu.
al loss by death is 100000. Now, the
weight Of the animal matter OF this i'm
mense body cast into the grave Is no less
than 8S4, 900 tons, and its decomposition
produces 5000, 900, 100000 cubic feet OF
matter. The vegetable productions Of the
earth clear away from the earth the gases
thus generated and decomposed and as.
simulate them for their own increase. This
circle OF changes has been going on ever
since man became an occupier OF the earth.
He feeds on the lower animals and on the
seeds Of plants which in due time become
a part OF himself. The lower animals feed
upon the herbs and grasses, which, intheir
turn, become the animal; then, by its
death, again pass into the atmosphere and
are ready once more TO be assimilated by
plants, the earth or bone substance alone
where 1t is deposited, and not
even there unless prosecuted as q common
swindler.

"a, , non break His Neck and Live.
Buffalo Commercial
Can man break his neck and liveT
This question admits Of an affirmative an
swer; for cases are on record in which the
neck was very badly dislocated, If not bro
ken, and the victim lived. There is in this
city an eminent physician who once had a
narrow escape from death in an accident OF
this nature, but he lives to tell how he
broke his neck. Western men can do al
most anything, and We are not surprised
to hear that one Of them recently gave his
neck a twist that might have killed an OK,
but the neck.twister lives TO tell the tale.
He is an Omaha mail carrier, and was re-
Gently thrown from carriage with great
force and struck theground head foremost.
A careful examination OF his neck, which
was swollen and very painful, led to the
conclusion that painful dislocation oil the
first two bones OF the neck, the atlas and
axis. had taken place. The neck was great
ly twisted and very painful, and partial
paralysis OF the nerves which affect respir'
alton was also found to exist. Fearing to
attempt any reduction Of the dislocation,
which is always a very dangerous, and Of
ten a fatal operation, the doctor left him
for the night, determined the next day to
hold consultation and put the man under
chloroiorm while the operation was per-
formed. The next morning when he ar,
rived he found that the neck had slipped
back into It's socket during the mans turn
ing on his pillow. Such, at least is the
story as told in the Omaha papers.

Springfield Republican.
Now that the shock OF novelty has worn
away from the idea OF cremation, the pop.
ular prejudice against 1t has also, we
fancy, considerably weakened. At any
rate, the smoke ascends from the LeMoyne
furnace at Washington, Pa, with increas-
ing frequency, and the process Of reduc-
ing human body to ashes, which short
wear or two since was an event to be
fchroniCled by descriptive columns in the
newspapers, is now given but the passing
attention OF a four.line item. For the
benefit OF people who cherish a repug.
nance to the conventional burial, and who
may contemplate cremation as the more
desirable alternative, We present some in.
formation as TO the terms upon which it
can be obtained, derived from a private
letter in answer to one Of inquiry to a
trustee OF the LeMoyne furnace. The ere.
matory is open TO the use OF everybody on
the following conditions: The certificate
OF respectable physician that the death
was from natural causes, that the disease
was not OF o contagious nature, that the
body has not been kept or buried, and,
finally, that the dead person was Of good
repute.
The charges at the furnace are s45,
which includes cremation, hearse and car.
rage from depot and box for remains.
It requires "a houS to heat the furnace,
and the trustees consider II desirable to
have 80 hours advance notice. The re-
duction OF the body to ashes takes about
two hours, but the furnace cannot be
opened till 20 to 80 hours thereafter. The
ashes generally weigh from Eve TO seven
pounds and can be placed In small tin
box holding half q gallon or SO. Mr.. Julius
IeMoyne, son OF the doctor and one Of
the trustees, may be addressed by any one
desiring the use Of the crematory. Gre
nation, 1t will thus be seen, is Of easy at
tainment, and the expense, when every
thing Is considered, less than that OF an
ordinary funeral. Doubtless as the years
70 on this wholesome disposition OF dead
human flesh will more and more commend
itself to sensible people; and we recon-
mend 1t as even better method OF PRO.

the Texas Pacific at their bay prob.
ably in three and, at the most. In
i've years. That was exactly eight
years ago; and, In the meantime,
about five miles Of railway have
been graded from San Diego east

mates are past finding out, and our
faith In their professions received q
sh ock at that time from which we
have not since recovered. 1t would

The Southern Pacific Railway is

ment. Somewhat over two years
ago Gov. Leland Stanford, In q
speech which was much comment
ed on at the time, said that bis
company proposed to extend the
Pacific to Guaymas as
vel, as from Yuma eastward. By
the time the railway company gets
through with its programme, it
will have on Its hands the most
colossal scheme Of transportation
improvements ever conceived and
executed by private individuals.
Or course, when Gov. Stanford
spoke Of Guaymas hs meant the
meant the City OF Mexico, fol
there would be no appreciable OBJ.

Importance, from every point ol
view, has been ridiculously exag.
gsrated. Such q long detour has
to be made up the Gulf of Califor.

ocean that commerce would not be
very likely to seek that sleepy old
'doble town. 1t may be that, be.

Del Vale and Heathman from this
county matter Of great import
anee. The Republicans start In
the fight for the successor to Booth
with all advantage In the hold over
Senators. 1t thus especially be-
hooves every Democrat throughout
the length and breadth Of Califor-
MIA to strain every nerve to send
enough Democrats to both houses
of the Legislature this year to as.
sure success to the Democratic cau-
Gus candidate for United States
Senator. While that event is not
likely to occur, it would be a very
unpleasant thing to have President
Hancock hampered in his policy
and appointments ny even one Re-
publican majority in the United
States Senate.
