COMPRESSED HUMANITY.
Running a Man Through a Hy-
draulic Press.

Material-a dead body. Process
compression. Besult-a paper weight.
This is the programme mapped out by
an inventive genius in Pittsburg. He is
a doctor by trade and therefore can
speak with authority of the destiny of
his patients. His name is Cooper.
If his idea goes" he will
make barrel out of it. His apparatus
is combination of steel presses and
hot rollers-a sort of rolling-mill on a
small scale There is little sentiment
tality about the operation, but it Is eff
fectual. A human body is put in at one
end and taken out at the
other in the shape of paper
weight In other words, the
enormous pressure excludes all mois-
ture from the body and congresses it to
fraction of its original bulk. The body
of a fuil-grOwn man can thus be re-
duced to cube of one foot as hard and
imperishable as marble. DR.. Cooper
asks nobody to take his word for all this.
man who owned a hen which laid
two eggs day. ''If you don't believe
it, said he, "there's the hen" When
DR.. Cooper runs across skeptic he
takes him by the arm, leads him into
his study, and beamingly points on his
center table to what appears to be a
cross fashioned of the pureSt marble.
There" he eXclaimS, ''is the re-
mains of a child converted by my pro-
cess into handsome and valuable orna-
ment. Taste it-you will find that it is
tasteless. Smell of it-you see it is
odorless. Try it with knife-it is hard
as marble. And, what's more, | can
turn out just as neat job every time"
Chicago people who ought to have in
telligent ideas on the subject are
The reported first asked the doctors
about it. One said fatty that it couldn't
be done that compress the human
body as much as you pleased it
would still be animal matter and there
fore perishable, and a second pro-
nounced it a hoax. A third did not
doubt the possibility of the reduction
of bulk by pressure, but insisted that a
chemical change would he necessary be-
fore anything like the result claimed
could be. obtained.
The chemists were divided in opinion.
Nothing" said one, sis impossible

draulie compression. / saw brief dis

L saw at once that the idea was

moisture can be eliminated from the
residuum and the particles so closely
cementcd as to be air and moisture
proof and therefore practically indie
structible. No chemical change is nee

Other chemists made light of it
and pronounced it nonsense of the
rankeSt kind.

and easy and simple besides. There is
a great deal of solid matter in the
human body. Take the blood, for in
stance: In body weighing $50 pounds
one-thirteenth of the weight is blood
and 20 per cent of the blood is solid mat
ter; this gives you 21s pounds to start
with. The muscles weigh n pounds
and quite proportion is solid matter.
The skeleton weighs q pounds and 8
ounces, and here the proportion of
solid matter is large. Compression
will reduce everything to solid matter,
which would be indestructible with
out the. necessity of any chemical
change. In embalming the principal
thing we have to contend with is the
liquids of the body. Exclude these
thoroughly and the remainder will last
indefinitely, just as a mummy does. l
don't know how much the res
iduum would resemble marble, but by
the Introduction of coloring matter any
desired effect could be produced just as
easily as any shape. Cheaper than
cremation? l should hope so. 1t takes
three hours to cremate body; they use
81 worth of gas, and charge $50. If we
put 81 into casket and charged $50
people would say we were robbers"

said that he had hoped party discussion
would be kept above personalities, but
that if the Republican managers insisted
upon campaign of personalities they
might understand now that it would net
all be upon one side, under no circum-
stances would he consent, however,
that the wife of his opponent be assaulted
by ridicule and cheap cartoons. He
would refuse to follow the example of
that gallant and gentlemanly institu-
ton, the Republican press. Judge
Van Buskirk made an able and
convincing address, asking the crowd
among other things if they desired to
continue furnishing the money which
Eastern capitalists sent back to Dakota
to be loaned at 3 per cent per month.
The meeting was pronounced success,
and with it Mr.. Harden opens an ag-
gressive campaign to be arried on

AN ACT OF sTATEsM ANsHIP.
EXPORTS MUST CEASE.
One of the Greatest Privileges
Enjoyed by Canada to be Cut


One of the Greatest Privileges
Enjoyed by Canada to be Cut
Off.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 25.-It is
understood tonight that a very i'm
portant discovery has been made by
which one of the greatest privileges en-
jOyed by Canada will immediately
cease. by order of the secretary of the
treasury, and that is the right of Can
ada to ship her product in bond through
the territory of the United States for
export from ports Of the United States.
1t was supposed that article % of the
treaty of Washington was in harmony
with laws which were then Oh our stat
ute book, and that they were still in
force. Investigation shows that this is
not true. The privilege was given
Canada first by article % of the treaty to
send her products to our ports for export.
That privilege never before existed until
Congress enacted in March, 1873, that
the right should be given as long as the
fishery articles of the treaty remained
In force. They have ceased, and so the
privilege given by that law has also
ceased. But the right to use our norris
to receive foreign goods for shipment
to Canada has not been annuiled, That
privilege must therefore continue until
congress gives the president authority
to suspend the privileges given. The
other provision, however, to ship
products of the dominion to our ports
for expectation, is dead letter, and the
right to make such shipments must
stop, not by any action of congress or
the executive, but because the treaty
and the law stop all further right to do
so. The statistics show that of the s270,-
100000 worth of goods sent both ways
during the past six years. at least slO0.-
100000 was Canadian products exported
via ports of the United States.

CREATE CONSERVATION.
The New Transeontinental Tariffs
Scare Chicago Shippers and
Railroad Officials,

SdlirOau OHICIalS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Tha new trans
continental tariffs, which are to go into
effect Sept 1, were received in Chicago
yesterday, and created CONSERVATION
among both shippers and railroad Off
elalS. 1t had been expected that rates
would be based to certain extent on
the distance between points. This was
the doctrine laid down in the famous
"Denver CASE in which the interstate
commerce commission gave the roads
until Sept. to revise their tariffs and
bring rates into conformity with the
long and short haul clause of
the interstate commerce law. The
tariffs which have been issued.
however, show that everything shipped
from New York takes commodity
rates, while from Chicago the regular
class rates are applied. For instance,
the rate on hardware from New York to
San Francisco is S1.S0, while from Chi
cago the rate to San Francisco is $40.
Moreover, the hardware rate from New
York to Chicago is 60 cents, and by
Shipping his goods to New York and
thence to San Francisco the Chicago
| hardware merchant can save clear 81
per 100. The same is also true of cotton
piece goods. The rate from Chicago to
San Francisco is $500 against S1.S0 from
New York, and by sending his goods to
New York and rebilling at that point a
round SLIGO per 100 can be saved. There
are other fragrant inconsistencies, and
unless the tariffs are modified so as to
give Chicago shippers rates as favorable
at least as those enjoyed by New York,
the Chicago freight bureau, backed by
the Chicago roads, will probably file a

Wreck on a Trip From Cleve-

Detroit Free Press.
There might have been fifty of rs in the
waiting room at the Erie Railway depot
at Buffalo when young man, dressed
as sailor and having a serious cast
of countenanee, entered and began to
solicit aims on the strength of having
been wrecked and losing his all. In
deed, he came near losing his life, being
the sole survivor of a crew of eight men.
with bOuntiful hand, but before
Clipped l felt it my duty to inquire:
What wreck was thiS?"
Schooner Blazing Star, SIR" he re-
piled.
''That's just like some folks" eX-
claimed a very pompous little man with
very high collar on. ''They can't part
with nickel without wanting to know
all about it,"
''When did the wreck occur?" asked
of the sailor.
Ten days ago."
sit makes heap of difference whether
it occurred ten or eleven or nine days
ago.' sneered pomposity, as he walked
around.
''On what lake?" I continued.
''Lake-Lake Erie, sir.''
''Don'tYo you want to know the exact
spot to foot?' Sneered pomposity,
raising his voice so as to get crowd
around.
where was your schooner bound?"
From-from Cleveland toto Pitts
burg" answered the sailor, as he shifted
about.
''Are you sure?''
"Of course | am"
Hear him!" shouted pomposity. SIN
order to save quarter he wants to make
out that the poor man is Harp
The sailor slid out without waiting for
any more contributions, and asked
pomposity to step aside with me.
"Why, of course" he replied; Though
a man who won't chip in to charity is
always an object of suspicion"
"Where did he say the schooner was
bound for?' | queried as we walked
away.
''From Cleveland to Pittsburg, ST."
s'Are you sure of it?"
''Of course | am"
"WeH, tell me how much dry land
she would have to sail over" l
He stopped dead still, opened his
mouth, rolled his eyes and removed his
hat. The case slowly dawned upon him.
and as he grasped the facts he seemed
| to wilt away like a cabbage leaf. When
he could wilt no further he pleadingly
said: :
