ONE OF the latest attempts to make n
ship unsuitable has been drought to
public attention by an Englishman
named Mr.. Lamb. He has embodied
what he thinks viii insure the buoyancy
of vessels under all circumstances III n
steel-built launch thirty-seven
feet long, six feet deep, and five feet
eight inches beam. Wan afloat the
launch has a free board Of four feet.
The novelty in the construction of this
craft consists in the introduction of
seven fiat air-tight cylinders of metal ON
each side. The inner ends of these
cylinders are built into and form part of
the framing and ceiling of the vessel,
while the other ends project beyond the
outer skin, and are protected bSaNsort
of casing. When the launch is loaded
this casing has its lower part under
water, ,but it notiintendedto be wholly
submergea 1T cannot be sadithat this
casing will add to the beauty of the
launch, but on the trial trip the speed
was found to he fair and the motion very
steady. Whether the building of air
tight compartments along the sides OF
ships so that they cannot be used for
cargo or tempered With, easily viii
supersede or be found Useful addition
10 the ordinary compartment system is
not vet certain.

given mp Jessie died first, calling for
Carrie to come, aud half an hour later
Carrie died, and the last words she ut
stered were "Wait for me, Jessie, am
coming" This singular coincidence in
two dying children, several blocks away
from each other, is verified by the most
indisputable evidence. Rationnlists ex-
plain that it was mere accidental coin
cidence, but the great bulk of our re-
ligious community think TINT the chill

The New Haven Register evidently
has a grudge against boys of a certain
age. 1t says 1T costs 50, 900 to bring
up boy to the age of fifteen, and we de-
fly any one to pick out fifteen-year-old
boy that's worth it, Fifteen strikes the
age of utter uselessness in q boy.

ONE of the most simple and effective
processes, it would appear, for preserv-
ing the dead, has recently been brought
forward in Germany. BY this method,
it is stated, the dead bodies of human
beings and animals fully retain their
form, color, and hexibility continuously,
and may be dissected. while decay and
offensive smell are completely prevented
the muscular flesh, upon incision, pre-
sentinG the same appearance, as in the
ease of fresh dead body. The liquid
used for this purpose is prepared as fol-
lows: Three quarts boiling water, three
and one-half ounces alum, six drains
common salt, three drains saltpeter, two
ounces potash, and two and one-half
drains arsenic acid the salts are dis
solved in the water, and then there are
added two pints of glyeerine, and one
half pint of wood alcohol. The en-
balming is accomplished by simply sat
urating and impregnating the bodies
with this composition, from one and a
half to FIVE quarts being used for sin
gle body.

Previous to 1924 the Presidential
electors were generally chosen by the
Legislatures of the s several States.
About that time the manner of their
election was for the most part changed
to II direct popular vote, though the
old mode of Legislative election was for
some time retained in Delaware. Louisi-
ana and South Carolina. In the last
mentioned State itprevailed until 1868.
In Maryland the electors we're for a

The statistics of the French railways
for the year 1873 show that 1879, 600, 600
tickets were delivered-11, 900, 900 first
class $1,000, 900 second class 80, 0O0,-
900 third class. Nearly halt the pas
sengers do not pay full fare owing to re-
turn tickets, military tickets, children's
tickets. The average Journey made by
each traveller is 80 kilometers. Out
of 100000 passengers l only is des-
tined to he killed en- route and 20 to be
injured. These figures include those
who are victims of their own careless
pess;.thus, out of 20 passengers killed
in 1878, only 8 were killed by the FAIL
way, ~ by.their own carelessness, and 3
by suicide. In the same Year, 80 en-
ployes were killed and 3,476 injured /;
out of total personnel of 10000 this
proportion is much smaller than the
mortality of men working in factories.
