persons OF different ages, ranging from
four to seventy SIX years, some being those

the shade OF color presented, some being of
a very rich tint, others very pale. The
richest color was in the blood of a girl
twenty-siy years of age, a graduate of Vas
sar college, who had the highest anthropo-
metic measurement for respiratory capaci-
ty in a elias, Of about 800 girls. Her health
was excellent, and she consumed rather
more flesh food than is usual.

The coal waste commission appointed
to consider the question of coal waste in
Pennsylvania, consisting of Messrs. J.
A. Price, Eckley B. Coke and p. w.
Sheafer, has issued circular letter ask
ing for suggestions and information as
to the best means of diminishing waste
in the mining Of coal in the future as
well as of utilizing the mountains of
culm now existing in the anthracite dis
trict. The commission consists Of three
If the best informed and most practical
coal operators in the state. 1t might be
supposed that these men could furnish
Information On the subject instead of
asking for it, and so they probably can
and will at the right time.
They are well enough informed, how
ever, to realize that in multitude of
counselors there is wisdom, and their
appeal to those who as well as them
selves have been making a study of this
subject is fully justified. The anthracite
coal field is now well defined, and it is
scarcely probable that any considerable
new deposits of this valuable and neces-
sary fuel will be discovered in the United
States. Under the present wasteful sys-
tenn of mining by which scarcely more
than one-third of the coal is utilized for
actual use this supply will be exhausted
at furthest in a couple of centuries. 1t
is quite time therefore that some better
system should be employed if possible

Artificial Teeth Going UP.


what is all this hubbub about the
great advance in the price of artificial
teeth?' inquired reporter of an Auburn
dentist. well, sir, the fact is the
manufacturers are advancing the price
ON their goous very fast" SIS the adj
vance in your judgment legitimate or is
it speculative?" 80 far it is entirely
legitimate. l have been in this office
thirteen years, and during that time
nothing has occurred to change the
price of teeth per cent, but during the
last few months the price of platinum
has advanced very rapidly, and as there
is no other known metal of which the
pins can be made that hold the teeth to
the plate it can readily be seen the
manufacturers are obliged to advance
their prices.
"At present it is difficult to see just
where this state of things will lead us.
All our platinum is at present mined in
Russia and the production is growing
less every day while the demand for it
is rapidly increasing, and that too in
many new Industries which have not
heretofore used it. l see nothing ahead
but the continued advance in artificial
teeth for a long time to come. At least
this is the advice we are receiving from
the wholesale houses every little while. ="

The caseas6 the man Borras, the vic
tim of wrongful conviction for murder,
was brought before the chamber M.
Thevenet, who was minister of justice
at the time of the trial, defended his ac-
ton in the matter. He expressed him
self awkwardly when he said that no
other criminal but Borras could be
found Nobody was wrong. The fault,
if there was any, lay in the code of Grim
inal investigation. M. Thevenet also
said that Borras being only pardoned
could not demand new trial, and that
in law the heirs of the murdered man
Pradis had right to bring the action
in which they have just engaged against
poor Borras for 1000 damages. NJ
Fallieres, without actually blaming the
judges, declared Borras quite innocent,
and promised to do what he could in the
matter.-Paris Cor London News.

The champion Rattlesnake story.

Last week a negro killed a monster
rattlesnake six miles this side of Clover
Valley, on the Union Pacific extension
from Milford. The only weapon which
the darky had was in the form of earth
clods, but he succeeded in crushing out
the life of the RATHER, and upon examin-
alton found the snake to measure ten
feet in length, with ninety-six rattles
and button on the lateral extremity.
This wonld give an almost phenomenal
age to the snake, making it about 100
years old. The skin and rattles have
been taken north to Salt Lake, whence
they will be shipped to the east.-Beaver

The birch is capable of supporting a
much greater degree Of cold than any
other tree. In the Old World its north
ern limit is II dogs. upon the west
and 63 dogs. upon the east coast; in
America its northern limit is GA degs
upon the west and So dogs. upon the
east. In Germany the highest elevation
at which it is found is $500 feet above
the level of the sea; in Sweden at 5000
feet and in Lapland at 1922 feet. 1t is
worthy Of remark that this tree decreases
in size not only as it advances toward
the north, but also as it proceeds south
ward beyond the limits of its native re-
gion. 1t attains its highest perfection
and greateat height in Germany and
southern Sweden The birch is not par
ticular in its choice of soil or situation,
and viii grow almost equally well in
sandy, rocky, dry or damp soil.

is thing that is not lost sight of to any
extent either in savings or other banks.

the claims made for it, Often it is left

in 1869 for his then infant son by a
father, and now at his majority the son
brought his book for settlement, and has
principal and accumulated interest COM
pounded for twenty-one years at his own
personal command, and yet the bank Of
fcers had not seen the hook since it was
first given out, although they knew that
the father was dead, and that the son
was living and growing up an estimable
young man worthy Of his parentage.
Had the son died his heirs would have
claimed the deposit and interest by legal
right as theirs. ALBANY Argus.

An Aged Scientist.

Sir George Airy, the oldest of the En-
glishmen of science, has just entered
upon his ninetieth year. Sixty-fve years
ago he was elected to the Lucasian pro-
fessorship at the University of Cam
bridge, having been senior wrangler two
years before. The remuneration was
nil, or consisted merely of house, and
this circumstance gave the late Mr.. Tod
hunter an opportunity for his mot,

habitation and name" Since that time
Airy has been for forty-five years astron-
omer royal (he resigned in 1881, and has

Freezing out the Bacillus.

What may be termed "heroic" treatment
is being administered to the Grand Duke
George, second son Of the Russian czar
lie suffers from pulmonary disease and is
at present residing ut Abbas-Turnan in the
Caucasus. a letter from that place saws
that the walls in his apartments are bare
and unpapered, the furniture is of plain
wood or cane, without upholstering or
stuff covering of any kind, and his bed con
s:sts only of the thinnest of mattresses.
Throughout last winter only very mod
crate fire was kept up, while the windows
OF the grand dukes rooms have been con
tinuously open. His attendants suffered
dreadfully from the cold, but his medi-
cal advisers hold that this low temper a.
ture is very beneficial to their imperial
patient, as it tends to destroy the bacillus
and prevent the formation of tubercle.
They maintain that the progress of the
disease has been arrested, and express
hopes that, if the treatment which they
prescribe is persevered with, the grand
duke will in two years time have COM
pletely recovered.

the corner of Court and Schermerhorn
streets became engaged in wrangle
with a small boy who tried to get three
apples for five cents. A policeman off
duty stepped up to the stand, saying,
What is the matter, italy," The boy
fled while the Italian was explaining the
cause Of the difficulty. The policeman
helped himself to two juicy pears from
lot labelled five cents each, and
munched one Of them, putting the other
in his pocket. He sagely told the Italian
to be careful in his dealings with boys,
and it was question whether the fruit
vender was as angry at the decamping
boy as at the policeman whose coat tail
was weighed down by the pear he had
deposited Internationally Eagle.

where nnthlng Is Unfashlonable.

1t is no longer fashionable to battle in
the surf at Newport, Nine. Haut Ton
discovered that it was possible to meet
her neighbor's maid in the water, and
then, too, she came in contact with the
summer tourists, whom she regards as
very undesirable to know, so she con-
cluded That surf bathing must no longer
be recognized in "our set" The people
in bathing are usually those who DO not
care for the opinion Of the fashionable
world or those from the hotels. Hotel
life is not interesting Unlike some of
the other summer places, life does not
center in the great caravansaries; and so
unless one has an extensive acquaint-
ance among the Newport people it is ex-
tremely stupid to be at a hotel. Ladies'
