The Dead sea.

The Union Leader pointed out marked dis.
crepancy between the statements recently
made by two eminent lecturers in Wilkes
Barre in regard to the waters of the Dead
Sea. On the one hand Colonel Sanford, in
his lecture there last December, stated from
his own experience that the assertion that
a man could not sink in these waters was
all nonsense, while on the other, Dr. Ec-
cleston averred that no one could sink deep
er than the chest. Both of these gentlemen
have lectured here,
An examination of data shows that neith-
er were quite correct, though of the two
DIR, Eccleston was nearer the truth. The
specific gravity of sea water is about 1,03,
The specific gravity of the human body, in
natural condition, is slightly less than
that of sea water, and therefore would nm
der ordinary circumstances, float in the
ocean, Now the specific gravity of the
waters OF the Dead Sea is about l.240, OF
u tritle more than two-tenths heavier thar
ordinary sea water, 1t follows, therefore
that only eight-tenths of the human body
would be submerged in the Dead Sea, anC

Tobacco Rebate Labels.

The labels furnished by the Internal Rev
enue Department to persons intending to
claim rebate on tobacco or cigars are about
2x3 inches, printed in red ink on white
paper. Blank spaces are left in which the
name of the claimant, his location, the
number of his collection district, and the
state can be written or printed.
To be entitled to claim rebate dealer
must have the equivalent of the tax on 1875
pounds of tobacco, or 3, 400 cigars. If, how
ever, he has both cigars and tobacco pack
ages, he will be entitled to the rebate if the
tax paid on both together equals the above,
Every box of cigars, and every box, pail
or bag of tobacco requires to have IA separ-

at or before the time of inventory. After
Inventory it will be too late. Supposing a
dealer to have 100 pounds of tobacco in two
and four ounce bags and 500 cigars in boxes
of so each, he will have altogether over 60C
packages to label.

get a farthing discount. But it was at
least faint consolation to think that
he would recover something out of She
fire. The bracelet would fetch good
round sum, even at second hand, and
that reflection buoyed Kim up little,
so long as he was permitted TO indulge
in it. But alas even this small solace
was denied him, for in acknowledging

she had made him the widow wrote as
follows:
