THERE have been several cases of
death from the explosion of dynamite in
which the deceased has been so CON-
mInuted and diffused that no remains
could be found for the coroner to sit
upon. Scientifically speaking, such de-
naturalization of the human body is,
perhaps. unthinkable, but in the last
case mentioned the coroner ana several
others are said to have searched The
vicinity OF the accident closely without
finding particle of human flesh. This
sort of thing seems to reinforce Mr.. Jen.

Messrs. Lord & Thomas, of Chicago,
the we'll known and popular Advertising
Agents, are about to move into new
quarters, which are so spacious, SO ele-
CANT, and so original and novel in their
appointments. that they deserve more
than q passing notice. The build
ing, Nos. 40. AZ and 40 Randolph
ST.. between State and Wabash Aye, Is
at once the most striking in appear
ence and the most elegant in Chicago;
built OF sandstone, ii is 20 by lat feet,
practically fire proof, aud lighted on
four sides. Three large elevators and
three spacious stairwsys. give abunant
facilities for passover and freight. This
firm will occupy the entire third
floor, giving them a superficial
area Of nearly 12,OcO square feet. This
beautifully lighted room is unbroken by
partitions, save a private office in one
corner, thus bringing the entire working
force OF about sixty clerks into one spa
cious room, certainly the largest Office
of any advertising agency in the country,
if not the largest business office of
any kind on the continent.
While the entire appointments are ele.
CANT. the fling department is arranged
on an entirely new principle, which
amounts to an important invention.
Heretofore advertising agents have filed
their newspapers in wooden pigeon
holes, which not only excluded the light,
but caught and retained the dust, and
thus proved nuisance. The new filing
department OF Messrs. Lord q Thomas
is made entirely of wire work; a
separate compartment is made for each
newspaper. magazine and periodical in
the United States and Canada, about A.
600 in all. The various sections are sus-
pended from the ceiling, and hang clear
OF the floor, leaving a space under each
one so that the entire floor can be swept.
Our friends who wish to see a copy of
The NEWS when in Chicago, can al
ways find it on file at the agency of
Messrs. Lord s. Thomas.
