its breadth much broken and inter
sperscd with sand banks and mud flats.
On many of these islets may be seen
swarms of aquatic birds, dressed in their
bright eastern pumage, which, at the
''nuggas'. too near approach, break up
their meditativc parliament with a babel
of noise and wings. Crocodles and

been more or less rare, become quito
common. For more than hundred

Ten Million Car Wheels.

"There are more than 10000, 600 iron
car wheels in use on American railroads. ="
said the master mechanic of one of the
trunk lines, "and it requires about 52J
ponds of pig iron to make one wheel.
About 1850, 600 wheels are worn out
every year, and the same number of new
ones must be made to take their places.
The iron men are called upon for only a
small proportion of the 3l2, 800 tons of
material required for these new wheels,
however, for nearly 200, 900 tons are sup
piled by the worn out wheels themselves.
Formerly the life of car wheel was esti-
mated at eight years, but the reduction
of the railroads generally to the standard
gauge, and the Improvements in loading
and unloading facilities, have materially
decreased the length of service that a
wheel may be depended on to perform.
The uniformity in guage keeps cars in
more continuous use, while the decrease
in time of loading and unloading enables
them to be put to more active service
even where they are run only on short To-
cal routes.
These figures do not include the
wheels on palace coaches and the better
class of passenger coaches. The wheels
on that grade of rolling stock are now
made almost exclusively of paper. They
are as serviceable as iron, and combine
lightness with strength, great desidera-
tum where speed and economy in motive
power are now of paramount importance. "

EninmhpI Alive.

The popular horror and fear of being
buried while i'll tran &c state has within
a recent period, says the Chicago Inter-
OceaH, received fresh spur by two we'll
attcstcd instances, in one of which the
awful mistake was made, and in the other
the person seemingly dead recovered at
the moment the lid was about to be
screwed on the coffin in which she lay
dressed for the grave. The latter case oc-
cured in Wisconsin, and its details are
yet fresh in the minds of the newspaper
reading public. The other case, which
was that Of woman in a small Ohio
town. Her body, on the grave being
opened some days after the burial, was
found with the limbs twisted and con-
torted, the hair torn out, and the imprint
of her awful struggles for life left upon
her distorted features. The Imagination
of the most powerful writer could add
little to the horror Of the brief tcle-
graphic account, or make its realization
clearer to the public mind
The phenomena of prolonged suspen-
sion of animation in human beings is
with reference to its cause, puzzle to
pathologists. Medical books abound
with instances of involuntary and volun-
tary suspension of the faculties, in which
state, in many of the cases mentioned,
all SIGNS of life are wanting. The pa
tents body is cold and rigid, the eyes
tilmy. Mention is made of very severe
tests to determine whether The mysterious
vital spark was yet remaining, being
without effect. That many persons have
been buried in this state there is little
doubt. Bruhier, one writer on medicine,
has collected $50 well authenticated cases
Of persons treated as dead who were liv-
ing. OF these tifty-two were buried
alive, four reached the dissccting table
and revived on being placed in their
collins, and scvcnty-two awoke from an
apparent death.
These cheerful figures are met by the
opinion of some of the highest living
authorities that whether a person is
really dead or in state closely rescm-
bling it, may be demonstrated by any
skilled physician. Various methods are
given, the simplest and surest of which
consists in keeping the body until decom-
position appears
IN certain parts of Germany the wide
spread fear of being entombed alive has
caused the establishment of houses pro-
vidcd with means Oldetermining whether
life has flown. The bodyis laid upon a
| bier II cord, connected with an cXquis-
itcly hung bell, is attached to its wrist.
The slightest movement of the arm is
sufficient to set the bell changing, bring
ing the guard TO aid in every way known
to science the struggle back to life
/ The German institution is undoubted-
ly relic of laws enacted by the Romans,
who derived them from the Greeks, and
who carried them among, the Teutons
when they oycrran and conquered tho
country.

Chinneys.

In the year 1900, chimneys were
scarcely known in England One only
was allowed in religious house, one in
Il manor house, and one in the great hall
of castle or lords house; but, in other
houses, the smoke found its way out as
it could. The writer's of the fourteenth
century seem to have considered them as
the newest invention of luxury. In
Henry Wits reign, the university of Ok
ford mad no five allowed; for it is men
toned that, after the students had
supped. having no fire in winter, they
were obliged to take good run for half
an hour to get heat in their feet before
they retired for the night. Holinshed,
in the reign Of Elizabeth, describes the
rudeness of the preceding generation in
the arts of life. There were. " saws he.
every few chimneys; even in the capital
towns, the fire was laid to the wall, and
the smoke issued out at the door,
roof or window. The. houses were
waited and plastered over with clay,
and all the furniture and utensils were
wood" In 1889, tax of two shillings
was laid on chimneys.

The Jersey COW, Princess H., No,
S,0lG, owned by $. NJ. Shoemaker, of
Baltimore, has recently completed the
largest test Of butter Tor the period of
one week that has ever been recorded.
The COW gave birth to calf late in De
cember last, and her milk Immediately
showed signs of superior richness, For
three weeks she produced twenty-siX
pounds OF butter week, the record be-
ing made under the careful supervision
of members of Mr.. Shoemakcr's family.
For the fourth week the services OF j. V.
n. Willis, of Marlboro, n. j., the we'll
known expert, were secured, and the COW
was placed in his charge Her appetite
was stimulated by walking exercise, and
she was MIXED three times day. The
yield of milk was about twenty three
quarts in twenty-four hours, and the total
amount of wcll-worked butter, sailed one
ounce to the pound, which she produced
in the week, was twenty seven pounds
and ten ounces. The facts are certified
TO under oath.

POOR OLD MISSOURI.

Wouldn't the people of the country
at large open their eyes and have their
faith that God reigns strengthened
greatly if old Marmaduke should be
beaten for governor over in Poor Old
Missouri? If the land where the peo-
pie make heroes of mail robbers and
murderers should politically lay out a
Democratic candidate for governor
who promptly announced that he al
ways had been a rebel, was still rebel
and ever expected to be a rebel, the
very colored men of Missouri would
commence to sing "the year of jubilO
has come" And from all we can
gather from the papers and from trav-
cling men it seems that the thing
might happen. If Poor Old Missouri
should go lie publican for couple of
years the state would be sverrun with
emigration and her realty values
would double in five years

A TRIBUTE TO KANSAS.

The Chicago Current in recent editorial
on the crop prospects and productions ofthe
present year, in estimating the relative stand
ing of states, has this to say of ours: "Kan-
sas next year in all probability will take the
place Illinois SO long occupied as the great
est agricultural commonwealth in the union.
Such an acknowledgment is not surprising
TO us, who have heard it reiterated as o
prophecy over and over again, and who have
been seeing year by year the extraordinary
development of our young state, yet such
statements are gratifying as indicating that
the period of prejudice against Kensas be-
cause of the manifold ills that have been
charged to her accounts is becoming entirely
period of the past, because the claims she
has made for supremacy are sustained by the
" facts and figures" The Current goes on
to say: Illinois, however, has not declined
in energy or productiveness." That this il
true, there is no doubt. The secret of the
disturbance ofthe agricultural equilibrium
of which it speaks lies in the fact that Kan
sas has grown-and present prospects are
that it will keep on going in the same re-
markable ratio
