head and killed him. The coroner's jury

The rate of the blood current gener.
ally increases with the activity of the
animal, being most rapid in birds. In
insects, however, it is comparatively
slow, but this is because the air is taken
to the blood-the whole body being
bathed in air, SO that the blood has no
need to hasten to special organ. How
ever, activity nearly doubles the rate of
pulsation in bee. The motion in the
arteries is several times faster than in the
veins, but diminishes as the distance
from the heart increases. In the carotid
of the horse the blood moves twelve and
one-half inches per second; in that of
man sixteen; in the capilaries of man one
to two inches per minute; in those of 4
frog one inch.

ENNIS, Jan. 10. = Especial AT
O'Clock Sunday morning the alarm Of
fire sounded. 1t was discovered that
the dry goods house of A. M. and Dan
Morrison was on fire. The fire was con-
fined to the inside of the building. In
thirty minutes the fire was under com
plete control. The stock Of goods was
complete loss covered by insurance.
The building Is owned by j. O. McKin-
ney, and insured for $l,700. The adj
joining building on the north is occu-
pied by A. NJ. and j. ID. Works, with
dry goods. Their stock was considera-
bly, damaged by water and removal;

some. No insurance. The fire is sup
posed to have been the work of an in

some complaint expressed by few of
the tax payers because of the purchase
Of the fire engine by the city dads. But

wisdom OF the ofitlay, since it has
saved to the business men $4,000 or
