DEAD AND BURIED.
But Resurrected, Dissected and
Set Up in a Doctors
Office.

A few. years ago beautiful
young lady named Eads, residing
between Winslow and Augusta, in
Pike county, Indiana, died very
suddenly of heart disease, and was
buried in the graveyard near Wins
lows. A few days ago the family OF
the yonng lady received an anony-
nous letter, postDlarked at Pike
vile. Pike county, and were hor-
rified by the statement it contained,
that the body of Miss Eads had
been resurrected by Drs. Joseph and
Thomas Aust, of Winslow, and two
others, whose names were given, the
jewelry that had been buried with
the body thrown into Patoka river,
the grave clothes. burned, and the
body dissected in a barn near
Winslow; that the bones, set up in
skeleton form, were at the time OF
the writing standing in the office OF
DIR. Thomas Aust, in Winslow. I he
relatives of the dead girl lost no
time in investigating the charges
contained in TIE letter, and going
to the cemetery, opened the grave
in which their loved one had been
buried. They fonnd in it only the
coffin and the pillow on which the
dead girls head had rested. They
hastened to Winslow, and took the
skeleton from the Office of DR..
Thomas Aust, where they had often
seen it without once suspecting it
was that of their lost one. Their
agony may be imagined, but cannot
be described, and nothing that has
occurred in this county for many
years has caused so much and in
tense excitement. The investiga
tion will be pushed. and, if the 9th
er parties implicated with the Austs
in the robbery are found guilty it
will go hard with them. The Austs
were bad men. DR.. Joseph Aust
is dead. DR.. Thomas Aust is a
refugee from justice for the cold
blooded murder of his brother in
law, James Humphrey, only a short
time ago.

An Indiana Editor Murdered.

An associated press dispatch
from Denver announces the cruel
murder of A. NJ. Conklin, editor of
the Socarro, New Mexico, Sun, on
Friday night, while en- route home
from a Christmas festival. Moth
ing further is known, save that he
prevented a disturbance at the tes-
tival, which several Mexicans at
tempted to originate. After the
exercises closed he and his wife
started for home, when three
greasers stopped them; two held
him up while the third shot three
balls into bis body, killing him in
stantly. The sssassins fed to a
town near by, where 1000 of their
countrymen are guarding them.
The Americans in Socarro are said
to be organizing for the capture OF
the scoundrels, and propose to
have them at whatever risk.
Conklln formerly published pa
per at Noblesville, and then held a
position on the Sentinel here.
The interim he spent in Florida,
writing letters to Forest and Stream.
He left Indianapolis about eigh-
teen months ago, and located al
Albuquerque, New Mexico, after
ward removing to Socarro. loo
miles from Santa Fe, where he met
his death. He established papers
at both points.

An Eccentric NObleman.

London Telegraph: One of the
wealthiest and most eccentric no.
blemen in Europe, Prince Sulkow.
ski, Duke of Bielitz, arrived at Co.
penhsgen q few days ago, on his
way to Norway, where he proposes
to spend the winter in bear hunting.
He was accompanied by q numerous
suite, consisting Of highly salaried
lady companion, in maitre de chap.
ellie, reader, q secretary, body
surgeon, valet de chambre, two
running footmen, an enormous
mastiff, huge ourapg-outang, two
voluble parrots, and several cage
fuls of singing birds. One favorite
member of his household, Bengal
tiger, he has been compelled to
leave behind him at Hamburg, as
the steamboat authorities respect
fully but positively declined to con-
vey that princely retainer across
the seas. Prince SulkoWski's per-
sonal habits, as described in letter
from Copenhagen. are somewhat
out of the common. He rises at l
2 M, breakfasts an hour later, and
listens to musical selections per-
formed by the members OF his
household until Z. From to he
takes g nap, which is followed by
more chamber music until l O'Clock
a. m, his regular dinner hour. Hav-
ing dined sumpiuously he sallies
ont On foot acpOm naniad nv his sac
retary, and walks about the town
until 5, when be returns to his no
tel and goes TO bed.

ZerO-What Is 1t?

Zero" on the common thermom-
eter, like the fanciful names of the
consultations, is curious instance
of the way wise mems errors are
made immortal by becoming popu
lar. 1t may be worth while to say
that the word itself (zero) comes to
US through the Spanish from the
Arabic, and means emp y, hence,
nothing. In expressions like "Rine
ty degrees Fahr.," the abbreviatioB
.'Fahr.,'' stands for Fahrenheit, a
Prussian merchant of Dantzic, on
the Baltic sea. His full name was
Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit.
From a boy he was close OBJ
server of nature, and when only
nineteen years old, in the remarka
bly, cold winter of 17O9, he expert
mented by putting snow and salt
together, and noticed that it pro-
duced degree Uf cold equal to the
coolest day of the year. AID that
day was the coldest the Oldest in
habitant could remember. Gabriel
was the more struck with the coin
cidence of his little scientific discov-
cry, and hastily concluded that he
had found the lowest degree of tenn
perature in the world, either natu
raj or artificial. He called the de-
grees zero and con structed a ther-
mometer, or rude weather glass,
with a scale graduating up from
zero to boiling point, which he
numbered 2I2, and the freezing
poin5 thirty as he
thought, mercury contracted the
thirty second OF it's volume on be
ing cooled down from the tempera-
ture of frezing water to zero; and
expanded 1S0th on being heated
from the freezing to the boiling
point.
Time showed that this arrange
ment, instead of being truly scien
tific, was as arbitrary as the diVis-
ION of the Bible into verses and
chapters, and that these two points
no more represented the real ex-
tremes of temperature than ''from
Dan to Beersheba" expressed the
exact extremes OF Palestine.
But Fahrenheit's thermometer
had been widely adopted with its
inconvenient scale, and none thought
of any better until his maine became
an authority, for Fahren heit finally
abandoned trade and gave himself
up to science.
The three countries which use
Fahrenheit are England, Holland,
and America. Russia and Germany
use Raumer's thermometer, in which
the boiling point is counted eighty
degrees above the freezing point.
France uses the centigrade ther-
mometer, so-called because it marks
the boiling point 100 degrees from
freezing point. Or many accounts
the centigrade system is the best,
and the triumph of convenience will
be attained when zero is made the
freezing point, and when the boiling
point is put 100 or 1000 degrees
from it, and all the subdivisions are
fixed decimally.
II Fahrenheit had done this at
6rst, or even if he had made this
one Of his many Improvement af-
ter the public had adopted bis error,
the luck of opportunity, which was
really his, would have secured to
mis- invention the patronage OF the
world.

of the hoofs almost touched hls
ears.
The mule proceeded as if he de-
sired to hurry through.
1 had no idea how many bees q
hive would hold until saw that
beehive emptied on that mule.
They covered him so completely
that could not see any of him but
the glare of his eyes. 1 could see,
from the expression of his eyes,
that he didn't like the way things
were going.
The mule still went on in an alb
sorbed kind of way.
Not only was every bee of the dis
turbed hive on duty, but / think the
Dews had been conveyed to neigh
boring hives that war had been de-
clared. / could see bees fitting to
and fro. The mule was covered so
deep with bees that he looked like
an exaggerated mule. The hum Of
the bees, and their moving on each
other, combined into a seething
hiss.
A sweet calm and gentle peace
falness pervaded me.
When he had kicked for an hour,
he began to fall short of the tops of
the pepper trees. He was settling
down closer to the earth. Numbers
were telling on him. He looked
distressed. He had always been
used to kicking against something,
but found now that he was striking
the air. 1t was very exhausting.
He finally got so he did not rise
clear of the ground, but continued
to kick with both fore feet for half
an hour, next with first one foot
and then the other for another half
an hour, then with his right foot
only every few minutes, the inter
walls growing longer and longer, un
til he finally was still. His head
dropped, his lip hung lower and
lower. The bees stung on. He
looked as If he thought that mean,
sneaking advantage had been taken
of him.

next morning / returned. The sun
came slowly up from behind the
eastern hills. The foliage Of the pep
per trees trembled with his morn
ing caress. His golden kiss fell
upon the opening roses. A bee
could be seen flying hither, another
thither. A mule lay near the scene
of yesterdays struggle. Peace had
come TO him. He was dead.

The scheme Of boring a tunnel
from England to France, q. distance
of thirty-one miles, twenty-five of
which will be under the straits of
Dover, is proceeding 80 far as shaft
sinking goes. These will go 450
feet below high-water mark and
will drain the tunnel. There will
be an upgrade to the center, and the
center will be 200 feet below the
seabed. Should the whole passage
be through chalk, the work will be
easy and the cost not over f4,00O,-
900; bat the estimate to cover all
chances, is GS.OOO,OOO. The capi-
tai is not yet raised. Should the
work be q success, the returns will
be very profitable, as the amount Of
transit is very great. The work is
expected to be completed in four
years.
