Spontaneous Human Combustion.
Dickens has been much criticised
for his apparent acceptance of the
fact of spontaneous human combus-
ton. Be this as it may, the late Sir
William Gull, one of the most re-
nowned of British physicians and
surgeons, testified to b remarkable
case before the committee OF the
House OF Lords on intemperance dur
ing the summer of 1886. He said:
"a large. man, who was suffering
from difficult breathing, died nj
Guys Hospital. At the post-mortem
on the following day the body was
found to be greatly distended with
what proved to be alcoholic gases.
When punctures were made into the
skin and lighted match applied, the
gas which escaped burned with q
blueish flame, carburetted hydrogen.
We had as many as score of these
little flames burning at one time"

THE VALUE OF INVENTION.
Progress Of the Human Race Since the
Introduction of Machinery.

Progress Of the Human Race Since tho
Introduction of Machinery.
Journal Of Finance.l
One of the astonishing facts to be dis
covered in the field of industry is the
marvellous power of machinery operated by
the hand of man. In the cotton trade in
1850 the average product of every employe
was something less than 500, while 30
years later he was able to produce value
of 81 200 In the WOODEN factory the change
was much the same, the hand of each
worker being able as long ago as 1850 to
make over 81, 200 of product and in 1880
about 81, 300, the proportion of material
consumed by improved machinery being
about the same.
How much the world is indebted to in
yention cannot be stated in tangible
form, but with the strength of man
remaining the same and the skill of the
crasent artisan, though showing some ad-
SSssiiirocs, sill n5t distancing that of the
ancient Egyptian, the vast increase in hu-
man resources is due mainly to the in1u-
ence OF invention in discovering ways in
which machines can do the work of men.
tion in skill OF labor but that of Invention,
and in America we are far in advance of any
other nation in this respect. A man who so
years ago could turn out value equal to a
scant wage, now at fairly good wages is able
to bring into being four or five or six times
the value.

house where 1 stayed in England over Sun
day, when was driven to one church in
the morning, to another for afternoon serv-
ice, and yet third, in the evening, for
evening service.
Not content with this, our host brought
home with him to the house the clergyman
who had conducted the evening service.
and toward 10 o'clock our hostess, who had
been unable to accompany us to church that
evening, requested the parson, as partic
ular favor, to read or recite to US, for her
especial benefit and edifcation, the sermon
which he had preached a couple of hours
previously. This proved the straw that
"broke the camels baek"-I being the
camel-and I need scarcely add that never
stayed at that house again. For consid-
cred that this manner OF bombarding ones
guests with four sermons on one day, and
family prayers added in, is not altogether
good form. And yet 1 claim to be re-
ligious man. GOOD FORM.
