 The part oi Evergreen cemetery where in are buried the Chinese dead looked all day the other day like a Chinese fair. Be lore each little earthen pile was group Of devoted Chinamen. wi.h lighted tapers and joss sticks and hugo pile of roasted pigs, chickens and other del,cacies, tO de- light the spirits of departed ones. Along side of the sacrincial offerings were the various Ii yures made out of fire cracker and other cOlored paper. some in the shape or men and women. b'aSts, birds, and dragons. while others initiated the various currencies of the world. They were mostly stamped on the paper. in- stead of made into the lifesiZs figures as is the custom in China.
 The ceremonies of sending servants and provisions to the dead were conducted in solemn silence. Hardly a word was ut tered by the devOtees except an occas- ional whisper to the attendants when any thing was required After all the daint- les had teen formally offered 10 the dead match was applied to tine pie of paper servants, prayers, and money. and just before the blaze died Out an urn of rice wine was poured upon it. This was a parting drink 10 the spirit who carriel away the presents.
 The ceremonies over, the roasted pigs and chickens were carrie basS into the various carriages and cartel hick to Mott street and laundries throughout the ci;y. In China the period for sending offering, 10 the dead lasts ten days. but nere i; Is oriefcr. In Mott street the other day lt was general holiday with the Ch:nanlen. New York Sun.

New U,c for In.tantaneou. Phoiography.

New Use for Instantaneous Photography.
 An absolute dead heat is an impOssi- bility," says a turf writer, and he isn't far from wrong. For two or more horses to make a dead heat means that their noses must strike an imaginary line pre- cisely at the same instant That judges are frequently compelled to call close finishes dead heats. is due to the fact that the human eye can not with absolute certainty always catch the exact relative positions of two or more horses whizzing by, just at the proper instant. It is s habit to write he won by a nose but when only nose measures the distance, the eye can not.
 Various devices have been suggested and tried to positively distinguish the winner in a close finish, but none have been completely successful
