THE HOLY COAT EXAMINED
AN EXPERT PASSES ON ITS
ANTIQUITY.
Catholics Deem 1t Certain That
SThe Coat Was One Worn By The
saviour, Hut other Authorities
Differ From That Conclusion.

BERLIN. Aug. 25.-A textile manutac-
turer, who examined the garment known
as the holy coat now onexhibition before
thousands of persons in The cathredal at
Treves, says that when the wrappers
were removed the vesture was found to
be in such tattered condition that it
could not be placed on exhibition
Bishop korum then consulted some e1-
perts and finally the coat was given to
an experienced nun who gummed the
fragments Of the garment together, az
the material was too much worn to
to stand the strain of needle and thread
The holy coat is now partially over
laid with layers of materials with which
it has been wrapped and these wrappers
having become decayed cannot be sepa-
ratrd from the original coat. DR.. Book
of Aix-a-Chapelle, declares that he has
examined the reverse side of the holy
coat and found it was mounted on bysus
silk which was used in the first century,
which was never manufactured after the
sixth century and which was always eY-
trenely costly.
Catholic authorities consider this to be
proof that the holy coat is a genuine gar
ment worn by the Saviour.
The London Standard, in an article
published on July "a, says that the com
mttee of Orthodox experts, which re-
Gently made private examination otthc
garment, vouched tor its genuineness,
though it is rather moullier and more
mildcw wed than when last permitted to
see the light of day" The article adds:
That is to say, they vouch that the
coat is the same one which was exhibited
in 1874, the seals still being intact. We
need hardly observe that it is impossible
for them, or for anybody else, to produce
o scintlla Of proof that it is the seamless
coat for which the Roman soldiers cast
lots on Calvary nearly nineteen centuries
ago. Roman Catholic tradition affirms
that the coat possesses a miraculous
power, enabling it to defy the ravages of
time"

HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

on every prescription. We
do not take goods that the
people know the price and

not a Dissenting Voice.

From the Norfolk Virginiau.
Not solitary paper in the state, so far
as we have been able to examine, has
dissented from the verdict in the Baker
Gilmer case. The universal sentiment is
that the hanging of Or. Baker will be a
salutary example and warning to those
base wretrhes who sometimes use a noble
profession to shield the indulgence o
their lust. There are but few such mei
as Baker in the medical profession.

Great I.Oss to Farmers by the

LONDON, Aug 25-Heavy rains have
prevailed for some time past and in

lands are inundated with standing crops
on them, which have been washed away,
causing great loss to farmers. Quite a
number of cattle kept on pastures ad-
joining rivers were caught in the flood
and carried off and drowned.

Crack,d-Up Cuba is Cracking.

A recent scientific article says:
1.-The startling discovery has been
made that Cuba is cracking, not SIM
ply cracking. but bursting wide open.
Numerous tissues in the earth have
suddenly appeared in many widely
situated localities. but particularly
near Mantanzaz. One of these enor-
nous cracks is nearly eleven English
miles in length, and has actually
broken n mountain chain assunder,
leaving "a wide gap, which, but for the
fact that the fssure seems without
bottom. would make splendid road
way, making the rich plantations in
the valley beyond at least fifty miles
nearer La:hios, the nearest port, which
is now reached by rounding the spur
OF the mountain. Some OF the cracks
and openings within sight OF this place
(Matanzas) are 600 to 1000 feet long.
"a to 80 feet wide and Of unknown
depth. These disturbances may be.
and no doubt are, a continuation OF
those felt not long ago along the south
coast of the island, but the people are
not disposed to view it in that light,
regarding all such manifestations with
IL superstitious awe. many OF them &C
tually believing that some impending
calamity is about to overwhelm the
country. Scientists explain it by say
ing that the earth's crust thicken'
from the sea inwards. and that, there
fore. the inland pressure is towards
the nearest coast line; the crust there
and in the ocean beyond. being thin
ner, is most sensitive to central dis
turbances."

\ recent mlcroscopIcal study by
Herr Schultz has revealed two kinds
OF glands-mucus and poison-in the
skin of toads and salamanders, The
mucus glands are numerous over the
whole body; but the poison glands are
on the back and limbs, in groups about
the ears, and, in the saumander, at
the angle of the jaw. The mucus
glands are spherical, and appear clear
and CLASSY: while the poison glands
are oval, much larger and have a
dark granular look. The mucus ha;
no special smell, nor bitter or acid
tastes. On stimulating the poison
glands electrically, the corrosive liquic
is spurted out by the salamander in {
fine jet often foot long, but from the
toad it eXudes less promptly, and spar
