The following problem was discuss
ed in several papers, about thirty-fve
years ago. The Cadets at West
Point and the students Of Harvard
took part in the discussion, and many
newspaper articles were written on
the subject. Some gave one answer,
and some another.
l am not aware that any professor
in any college ever decided the mat
ter.
Here is the problem, with the eX-
ceptiOn, that the places mentioned
are different from those in the origi-
nal.
In the latitude of McMinnville, a
degree Of longitude is about fifty-six
miles in length. This makes the dis
lance around the world, on an east
and west line, in the latitude named,
about 20, 100 statute miles. Now if a
courier were capable of travelling at
the rate of fourteen miles a minute,
he could start from the courthouse
door in McMinnville, and travel
westwardly around the world in
twenty-fOur hours. Suppose said
courier starts from the courthouse
door in McMinnville, on Monday pre-
cisely at twelve o'clock at noon, and
travels due west at the rate of four
teen miles minute. In one hour, he
would be in or near Carson county,
in n. w. Texas. and it would still be
twelve o'clock to him and to the peo-
pie with whom he is talking. In two
hours, he would be in San Bernardo.
no county, California, and it would
still be twelve O'clock, as California
time is two hours slower than ouI

there a ship, the captain would tel

Ninety Three Years Old.

The following account of pleasant
event is clipped from last Fridays
American. Mr.. jeff Baker, who is
well and favorablY known in McMinn>
vile, is one of the grandsOns Of this re.
markable old lady.
Yesterday at her homenear Stewards
Ferry, on Stones River, twelve miles
from the city, was celebrated the ODD
birthday of Mrs. Annie Baker. The
venerable women was born in North
Carolina in 1892, and when 10 years
of age moved with her father into Ten.
nessee. They made the long journey
through the wilds of the country in a
one-horse cart part of the way. When
half way to their destination, the father
sold the cart and with the money
bought another horse, and in this way
came to this county and settled. They
subsequently moved into what is now
Stewart County and lived there until
the child was grown. She married
James Baker and the two moved back
to near Nashville, where she still lives.
Her husband died in 1865 at very
old age. At the reunion yesterday,
the following list of her descendants
was made out: Children II, grand.
children 55, great grandchildren, 139
great-great-grandchildren 16, making a
totalof 217. OF these 81 were present
yesterday. There were including friends
200 persons at the reunion who took
dinner with the nonogenarian and
wished that she might live to see many
happy returns of the 9TH of May. Mrs
Baker is a devoted member of the
Baptist Church and is regular com
municant She is still possessed of mos
remarkable vivacity, sprightliness ant
energy. No longer than three week
ago, she cut and made with her owl
hands calico dress. She very recent

"The world would be Mortified" said
William s.. Mccarthy, an east side I'M
d%ertaker, yesterday, '1f it knew the
number of bodies that are buried before
life is extinct. Once in a while one of
these cases come to light, but no steps
are taken to prevent their recurrence.
Something that happened to me
about twelve years ago has worried me
ever since. l was sent for one day to
take charge Of the body of a man in Di-
vision street. The man was a tailor. and
had fallen over while sitting on his
bench sewing. He was a big, feshy
man, about forty years of age, and
weighed about $50 pounds. The body
was warm and the limbs were limp.
| did not believe the man was dead, and
said so. His friends told me that a
physician had pronounced HIM dead. l
was ordered to put the body on ice at
once, but | delayed this operation on one
pretext or another, for nearly two days.
During this time the body lay on the
bench in the little shop. Finally l could
delay no longer. The limbs were still as
limp as when | first examined the body.
l prepared the body for burial, and the
next day it was buried. | do not believe
that man was dead when the earth was
shoveled in IN his coffin. If the same
thing were to happen again | would let
somebody else do the burying.
"AbOut the same time a young woman
living uptown WAS supposed to have
died very suddenly. A physician was
called in. lie said she was dead. An
old woman who was present thought
otherwise and insisted upon it that she
was in a trance. The body was buried.
A few weeks later the old woman de-
termined to satisfy herself about it, and
bribed the grave diggcrs to disinter tho
coffin. The lid was removed and a hor-
rible sight was seen. The young woman
had come to life and had made a terrible
struggle for liberty. Her hair was torn
out, and her face was frightfully
scratched. She had turned over on her
face.
"a person is generally believed to be
dead if there is no action of the heart or
pulse. But if any person is in a trance
there is no action of the heart or pulse.
A vein should be opened. If blood flows
the person is not dead. This operation
would take about thirty seconds, but it
is not often resorted to. suppose the
person is suffering only from a temporary
suspension of animation. Before he can
recover the use of his faculties an I'M
dertaker comes in, and he is put in an
ice box, where whatever life there may
have been in him is frozen out. The
board OF health should take hold of this
matter and devise some means of ascer-
tanning beyond all doubt that life is ex-
tinct before the body is buried. have
thought of a good many different means.
A receiving vault could be built in every
cemetery where bodies could be placed
until decomposition had begun, when
they could be buried. - NeW York Sun.

The Good Old Cow.

Mr.. Robert Bruce contributes an in
teresting article to the Lice Stock Journal
(Eng.), in which he copies from an
American paper an excellent description
of the farmers COW, viz. "The good
old COW has paid off more mortgages and
paid for more farms than any other
known product. She is the mother of
beef. In the household she catches the
wolf on her horns and losses It far from
the door. She has turned the tide of
IN agricultural prosperity, in many
parts of the country, from a downward
course, in raising grain and cotton to an
upward and prosperous one, in raising
stock, grass and hay. Flowers and grass
spring from beneath her feet on the most
barren soil. The old COW does not stop
TO enthuse over them, but converts them
into good. solid, hard cash. There is
certainly much truth in this description
of the merits and value of the good old
cow.-NeW York Sun.
