THE QUICKEST DEATH.
An Electric Current Does the Work in th
 Herest Fraction of Time.

An Electric Current Does the Work in the
 Merest Fraction of Time.
 In order to prove that an electric death must necessarily be instantane- ous, consider two simple facts. The speed of the electric current. approxi- mately, is about one hundred and eighty seven thousand miles per sec ond, or, in other words, start current at any given point, and (under the most favorable circumstances) while the clock ticks, once, the current will have made seven and one-half complete cir cults of earth. Think of that
 On the other hand, it is now gener- ally conceded that sensation, muscular sensation, travels only about two hun dred feet per second.
 Suppose, then, that the death-dealing current were applied at the tips of the fingers; while the muscular sensation responsive to the shock travelled two feet, the electric current would have moved at the rate of nearly two thou sand miles.
 In other words, there would be no re- turn of the muscular sensation, for the death-dealing current would so many hundred times outstrip the swiftness of the muscular sensation that the latter would never be recorded. To die an electric death is to be hurled into eternity even more swiftly than the twinkle of an eye.-Yanlee Blade.

.nArnIAGe ON HIGH-SEAs.

The old Practice of Captains Performing
 the Ceremony Is Illegal.
 ''The silly ninnies who run off to sea in tugboats to be married will some day be brought to grief in way they least expect" was the remark made by a prominent lawyer, who was discuss ing with friend the legality of such marriages. "Under the laws of this state," he said, ''such marriages are not recognized as valid. Unless the parties have a marriage license in due form and the ceremony performed by & regular preacher of the Gospel or by some civil magistrate authorized by the law to solemnize marriages, the contract is no good. The people who live together vessel are simply concubines, and the issues of such alliances are il1egiti- mate. If either of the parties were to marry again in the regular way neither could be convicted of bigamy.
 An old sea captain was asked what he thought about the matter. He re- piled that while it has been a practice from time immemoriai for captains to assume the right to marry couples at sea, he was fully convinced that nc such authority had ever been conferred upon sea captains, still less upon navi- gators of steam tugs and other coast wise sailing craft. The question is be- ing agitated of passing a federal or state law imposing severe penalties upon masters of tugboats, yachts and other vessels attempting to sOlemnize the marriage ceremony three leagues or more from shore.-San Francisco Call.

The Size of the Earth

seems to be very large affair, and men have been found who would be content to own as little as tenth of it. In comparison with some other bodies, however, it is small almost to the point of insignifcance. Five hundred earths like our own placed side by side could be easily encircled by the outermost ring of Saturn; and if by any process we could hollow out the sun, it would require three hundred thousand globes like our own to fill the space thus ere ated. In spite of all this, however, the world is large enough for our purposes, and, for all we know, more comfort able to live upon than any other planet in the universe. - Harper's Young People
