Compressed Air as Motive Power.

ways, which have been open since
1879. Two years ago the system was
successfullyappliedo on the tramways
ut Nogent, in the neighborhood of
Paris, and more recently on those of
Bernc and Limoges. Thisyear it Will
be substituted for horse power on the
tramways of Lyons. The inventor
asserts that his system is far more
economical thah horse traction-the
cost of coal per day of IA machine
equal to s or 10 horse power beng
only ls.--much cheaper than elec-

Merit Wins
A Test For Tea.

A Russian analyst gives the fol-
lowing as a test by which tea can
be proved 70 be genuine or not:
Take pinch of tea in glass, pour
upon it little cold water and shake
it up well. Pure tea will only
slightly color the water, while q
strong infusion is quickly got from
the adulterated or painted leaf.
Now boil both sorts separately, and
let them stand till cool, and the
difference between them will be
most marked. The false tea will
become still stronger after long
standing, but will remain transpar-
ent, whereas pure tea will become
muddy or milky. This last ap-
pearance arises from the tannic
acid, which is II natural property in
pure tea, but which in artificial tea
is entirely absent.-Hall's Journal

respect to the duties of the Coroner, is
still under the old English law which d.
rects that body when found be buried
within certain number of feet from the

of person drowned In the river was
found 1t would be inferred by the Coiouer
along the river shore at the high-water

skeletons have heen found ia the county
and also along the river. One vas near

the bodies were buried, washed away the
earth. Tho skeletons were thus exposed
to view. The same law gives Justice ol
the Peace of the county who may be ten
miles distant from the Coroner tho right
to hold an inquest. In lhi' manner bodies
are found, irquests held snd the Coroner
here hears nothing OF them.
No record can In this way be kept. The
entire fees the oo-oner can now obtain
varies from So to 81. When he buries a
body, which Is only done when the sub
ject is not fit for the "p'ckling vai," he

includes the furnishing of box, digging
