AN ISLAND PARADISE.

An Unknown Coral Aton in the Pacific
Which is Inhabited by Hostile Races.
The Asiatic Quarterly Review.l
The Island Of Hogolen. in the Polynesia
is an immense coral atoll, 130 miles in cir
cumference. having four entrance passages.
On the reef and within it are 20 islands,
four of which, near the middle, are high
basaltic masses about 30 miles each in cir
cumference, magnifcently fertile, yielding
spontaneously many valuable products, sit
uated in the midst of a rock-bound lake 80
miles long by half that width. This un-
known ocean paradise has been for ages an
arena of combat between two hostile races,
one copper-colored. inhabitIng the two west
ern of the great interior isles, the other upon
the two eastern, darker people with long,
straight hair. The two tribes are supposed
to number over 90 900.

WHAT IS SLEEPl
The Theory, the Fact and the Uses of This
Sancho-Panza-Pleasing Invention.

The Theory, the Fact and the Uses of This
Sancho-Panza-Pleasing Invention.
What sleep is no one knows. The pre-
vailing theory as to its nature, according to
Youths Companion, is that of the physi-
ologist, Preyer, who holds that refuse matter
accumulates in the nervous centers in such
quantities as to bring about i8sensibility,
which continues until the brain HAS been re-
lieved of the waste matter by its absorption
into the circulation.
Whatever feats OF endurance men may
accomplish, they cannot live long without
sleeping. Under every condition of bodily
and mental suffering, men sleep. Those
condemned to die, although they fear their
fate, generally sleep the night before execu-
tion. Soldiers have been known to sleep
when on long and wearisome march while
walking in the ranks, or lying on bed of
stones, or in the mud and water.
The question is often asked, "How long
can a man live without sleep?" The victim
of the Chinese "waking torture seldom
survives more than ten days. Those con-
demned to die by the waking torture are
given all they wish to eat and drink, but
sleep is denied them.
Whenever the poor victim closes his eyes
he is jabbed with spears and sharp sticks
until he is awake. There is no torture more
horrible,

BEAUTY AND ITS PHOTO.

The Shortcomings of the Photographic Art
in Revealing the Beauties of Faces.
Sir Thomas Browne says, IN Nature hath
made one world and art another" dictum
which many admirers of the female face are
quite ready to indorse. The reluctance of
some young ladies to be ''taken" on the SUM-
plate is thus accounted for, according to
Youths Companion.
In regard to beauty, photograph tells
nothing beyond form or face. An Ameri-
can physician, explaining his wife's anti
pathy to the camera, said:
"Her features are not regular, and she
takes horr1d picture. Her beauty rests
in her deep liquid eyes, coral lips, rich au-
burn hair and lovely complexion, qualities
which a camera cannot reflect. On the other
hand, lady dull of eye and faded of hair
may make a capital photograph, if she has a
straight nose and a tolerable good outline of
features, without the least expression"

convulsions commenced half minute later,
but they were not at all violent. more re-
sembling heavy breathing, with slight
twitching Of the hands and legs. At 8:3OH
the convulsions had ceased, and at 8:35 DR..
Chamberlain, who stood with his hand on
the body, declared that life was extinct.
DIED FROM sTRANGULArIoN.
Numerous dark blue spots appeared all
over his face. The red of his eye balls was
quite apparent. The post mortem examina-
ton was under the direction of Coroner Nc
Lay, conducted by Drs. Odlum and
Mearnes. The verdict was to the effect that
no dislocation of the neck had taken place;
the windpipe was crushed in. Death was,
therefore, caused by strangulation.
1t is now definitely stated that Birchall
went to the scoffold without confession.
The last words that Birchall uttered were
addressed to the hangman. Just as he was
putting the cap over the condemned man. S
head Birchall said:
"Have you any objections to shaking
hands with me?"
The hangman replied, Certainly not, 1"
and then they shook hands.
Mrs. Birchall has been under the influence
OF opiates since her return this morning
from her interview with her husband. She
awoke about $50 and the facts of the execu-
tion were told to her. She bore up much
better than was expected under the circum-
stances.
BIRCHALL'S CRIME.
The crime for which Birchall paid the
death penalty was the murder of T. q. Ben
well, February II last, in swamp in Ok
ford, Canada. The details are still too fresh
in the public mind to bear repetition. Cir
cumstances pointed to Birchal1 as the n,ur-
derer, although he protested his innocence
he was tried, convicted, and on September
29 sentenced to death.
THE STREETS THRoNGED.
The Jail surgeon said, in speaking OF the
execution, 'There is a partial rupture of the
posterior Hgament of the neck, but not sufi-
cient to cause DEATH" The doctors agree,
however, that there was no sensibility of
pain after the jerk into the air.
Birchall had long talk with DR.. Rice
about the execution, and spoke freely, ex-
pressing the hope that the Sob" would be
well done.
The principal streets were thronged with
people from the surrounding towns and
country, all discussing the last scene in the
Benwell-Birchall tragedy. The people of
Woodstock, with few exceptions, believe
that Birchall deserved his fate.
It is impossible to learn anything definite
as to when Mrs. Birchall will leave for En-
gland, but it is reported that she will re-
main in Woodstock for some little time.

Mercy Hospital, which was refused an
appropriation by Governor Beaver, will ap-

directors, said Thursday that the amount
had not yet been fixed. The officers of the
Mercy Hospital are: President Andrew
Carnegie; Vice President, Albert J. Barr;
Secretary, A. T. Heating; Treasurer, John
D. Scully.
The management of the Children's Hos
pital will probably also apply for State aid
this year; what amount has not yet been
definitely stated. The Children's Hospital
is new institution in Pittsburg: and is

Then it only got SIG, 900. The increased de-
mands are based on an increased population
of the institution, and on the large capac-
lty of the institution after next April,
when the hospital management will

poses. The worthy character of this insti-
tuition is well known, and its field of use

TIE WESTERN PENITENTIARY.
The Inspectors Expect the Legislature t
Give Them SI51,OOO.

tive Iheln SlDl,OOOs
The Board of Inspectors of the Western
Penitentiary will apply to the Legislature
this year for S15l 900, which will cover two
years. This embraces S25, 900 for the COM
pletion Of the south wing of the main prison
building, $4,000 for salaries, $1,000 for
books and stationary
One extensive improvement included in
the above appropriation is $4,000 for a
female cell house. 1t will fill u want of the
present institution. The inspectors also
want $1,000 for building a storage house for
the commissary department This will
place the supplies of the prison entirely
under the control of one person. Now the
system is different.
It is also proposed to build chapel with
seating capacity for 1.06O prisoners. This
will cost $4,000. AT present worship is
held in an old shop. The chapel will be
erected between the hospital and the re-
formatory building.
The State Board of Charities, in its late
report said of the Western Pennsylvania
Penitentiary:
The work on the new wing is rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and when done Will en-
able the warden TO adopt several desirable I'M
proNemenIS IN management. Warden Wright
has well won acknowledgment as being among
the very nrst penOlogists either in America or
elsewhere, and visit to the penitentiary will
be instructive and pleasant to all who may be
privileged to make it.
The following gentlemen compose the
Board OF Inspectors OF the prison: George
A. Kelly, James McCutcheon, James r.

QUARRYING IN WINTER.
How Vermont Marble Ouarries Are Operatsd
in the Winter.

How Vermont Marble 0uarries Are Operatsd
in the Winter.
Harper's Weekly.1
The Vermont marble quarries are worked
in winter, although perhaps with less result
than in the summer. One would suppose
that when the excavations are carried far
down below the surface there would be no
frost encountered; but, notwithstanding the
walls of these quarries are draped with
colossal icicles or frozen cataracts, which
impart an extraordinary effect to the cavern
Gus gloom.
1t is not so pleasant for the workmen, who
have to climb the slippery ladders, and are
not keenly interested In picturesque effects.
What is curious is that the marble itself at
those depths becomes frozen, and needs to be
thawed before it can be taken out, other
wise it has the brittleness of glass. This is
done by carrying pipes down, and drench-
ing all the channels cut by the machine
with steam until the frost is driven out.

THE REToRT COURTEOUS.

An italian Dignitary With Polite Decision
Gets the Better of Count Bismarck.
A good illustration of the "retort courte-

Bismarck, the rough and rude son of Prince
Bismarck, on the occasion of the German
Emperor's visit to Rome. At the railway
station Count Herbert pushed rudely against
an Italian dignitary, who was watching the
proceedings. The dignitary, greatly in
oensed, demonstrated iorcibly against such
unceremonious treatment, whereupon Count
Herbert turned round haughtily and said:

the italian, bowing politely, "as an excuse is
insufficient, but as an explanation it is

SAVING MARBLE.
A Brief Description of How This is Accom-
plished-Methods Now Used.

A Brief Description of How This is Accom-
plished-Methods Now Used.
The saw used to cut the marble is merely
fiat iron blade placed on its edge, and held
by sort of vice formed of wedges at each
end, attached to a movable frame oscillating
back and forth necessarily, night and day,
at the bidding of the tireless steam engine.
Several of these saws fixed in one frame
form gang; gang of Is to 20 saws cuts a
block into slabs, according to the size of the
block or the thickness of the slabs. The
the requisite friction for triturating the mar
BILE is obtained by keeping the top of the
marble block drenched with sand and water.
Formerly men were obliged to stand by each
gang OF saws, and pour on the sand and
water with spades. But in recent years a
contriyance, operated by steam, has been in
vented by which the sand is supplied by
feeders from above.

tied lately. The State appropriation asked
for does not include maintenance of inmates
as that is charged up to the counties
interested.
The appropriation now asked for is in ex-
cess of that awarded the school two years
ago, for the reason that now there are about
100 more inmates than there were then. In
the school now are 515 boys and girls. and
the capacity of the building is really only
800. Within the last year an assembly room
for the girls has been erected over the brush
factory, and hospital department is now
being built.

CRUELTY TO THE BICYCLE.

Experience in New England.
Boston Traveller
An enthusiastic wheelman relates that
during trip through New Hampshire and
Maine last year crowds would gather in
many villages to watch him go past. The
wheelman was man of considerable weight
and the natives were thoroughly astenished
to see a wiry, 60-pound wheel gracefully
ridden by man three times its weight.

that the crowning point was reached, when

THE COMPANY HUSTLING.

communication From an Official of the
Monongahela Water Company-Im.
provements Now Being Made-some
Figures to Prove the Water is Pure.
The following communication was left al
The DISPATCH Office by an official of the
Monongahela Water Company, and is inter.
esting as showing what the company is
doing:
"A sort of resurrection seems to be in
progress in the water supply on the South
side. The Monongahela Water Company
have been working with their coats off and
sleeves rolled up for long time. They are
also getting all their friends to help them.
rms week, their purchasing agent, Mr..
Prenter, awarded contract to the Oliver
Iron and Steel Company for large iron
building to be placed over their new boiler
house. On Thursday they raised steam for
the first time in their new boilers. Best,
Force & Co. are getting out an entirely new
steam line to run their pumps. Atwood &
McCaffrey erected the 16-inch natural gas
main in front of their boilers. The supply
OF gas has been quite short of late. and coal
has to be used to supplement the gas.
u. A. Mccormick, of this city, is under
contract to deliver the 10000, 000-gallon
Worthington pumping engine by January
l. This new pump will give them pump
ing capacity of over &c, 900, 900 gallons in "a
hours. 1t seems to be the intention of the
water company to drown out the people Of
the Southside.
The deaths in the entire city during month
of October were: East En6.s7ss; Old City,
II: Southside, 66.
Contagious diseases reported to Board ot
Health officer for week ending November z
East End, typhoid fever, IL; diphtheria, 5;
Old City, typhoid fever, 4; scarlet fever, 1;
diphtheria, IL; Southside, typhoid fever, 10;
scarlet fever, 8; diphtheria, g.
From this it would appear that the South
side is the healthiest district in the entire
city. The population Of the East End is
while the death rate is $50 per cent greater.
Does this speak badly for the health condi-
tions of the latter district?
Mr.. Premier, painstaking official Of
the Monongahela Water Company, thinks
not TO the word and to the testimony
gentlemen. The official record of the
Board of Health is more reliable as a basis
for a solid argument in regard to compare
tive conditions of the city's health than
private opinions of local physicians.
"From the official record of the Health
Officer it can be shown that the Southside is
always the healthiest district in the city.
What can be the reason? 1t is not found in
the good quality of the water used here,
which every chemist who has analyzed it Of
late has pronounced to be of excellent
quality?'
'If Southside physicians attribute any
typhoid fever or other sickness that may be
over here, to what do they attribute tine
greater number of deaths and sickness to be
found elsewhere in the city? To the worse
quality of water used in the East End and
Old City. no doubt. This seems to be the
logic of the question at all events.

HIS HONOR WANTS TO KNOW WHY

Police Magistrates Allow Some Prisoners to
Escape Without Punishment.
Mayor Gourley has written communica-
tion to the Police Magistrates instructing
them to enter on their dockets in pen and
ink all the evidence adduced against pris-
oners. They are also requested to make a
weekly report to His Honor, containing a
complete statement of the reasons leading
to the discharge of prisoners.
The Mayor says he has received COM
plants that the Police Magistrates have
shown partiality in the administration of
their duty, and while he does not believe it,
nevertheless he desires that record be kept
of all evidence taken at police court hear
ings, especially in the cases of discharged
prisoners.
