ROANOKE'S CONDITION.

Mayor Trout Says That the Sanitary Con
dition Has Been Improved
Mayor Trout was interviewed yester-
day by TIMKs reporter in regard to the
sanitary condition of the city.

sicain he told mo we had the healthiesr
city in the State.
while the sanitary condition Of the
city is much improved there are many
things yet to be done to place the city
in the condition it ought to be. The
greatest trouble found is the stagnant
pools of water in certain portions OF the
city, which, owing to their location,
cannot we'll be drained. Another
trouble Is for the want of sewerage on
certain streets; people are compelled
to use closets in their back yards, which
can only be remedied by more effec-
tual system of sewerage.
II am doing everything in my power
to improve the condition of the sanitary
arrangements, which, think, in short
While will be as good as any city in the

saw it. That poor clerk pulled down

The clerk fumbled in his pocket a mo-
Inent, produced a quarter, put it on the
cloth and cut out exactly the size of the
quarter, and before the astonished WON
an could say word he put her quarter
with the piece of cloth and sent it to the

Suicides in European Armies.

The Austrian army takes the lead In
the matter Of suicides. From 1875 to
1887 yearly average of 1879 suicides is
recorded for every 100000 effective
troops In 1889 the number was $40.
Death by suicide represents a fifth part
OF the whole mortality of the Austrian
army. No disease is more deadly. Tho
Germans report about half the number;
the Italian army about one-third; the
French army about one-fourth; the Eng
llsh army in tho home service about one
sixth; the rate in the Russian army is
nearly the same, while i'll the Spanish
army it is least Of all.
There are some curious facts about
these suicides. In the European armies.
especially in Austria, it is the young SOL
diers who kill themselves during the
first month of their service. Suicides
arc tho most frequent among the cavalry
and infantry, and in the latter among
the soldiers who are accused and await
ing trial
The most frequent method Is shooting.

quent methods. The infantry use fire
arms and usually aim at their heads,
Tho mounted soldiers hang themselves
by their horse brides. The Algerian
sohiers almost always shoot themselves
through the body, perhaps because the
Arabs think it Is infamous to mutilate
the head. In Austria third of tho sui
cides are attributed to distaste for
military duty; in France, love trouble
ID frequent cause; the fear Of punish
ment is everywhere great incentive.
The maximum Of suicides Is reached in
the hottest weather, and the minimum
is reached in tho coolest weather.-Boe-

Astronomy OF tho Ancient Ervut.ons


We find in the table at the Ramesseum
distinct references TO the bull, the lion
and the scorpion, and it is also clearly
indicated that ut that time the star
Sirius rose heliacally at the beginning
Of the rise of the Nile.
The word heliacally requires a little
explanation. The ancients. who had no
telescopes and had to use their horizon
as the only scientific instrument which
they possessed were very careful in deter
mining the various conditions in which
star could rise. For instance, if star
were rising at the same time as the sun
was rising, it was said to rise cosmically,
but unless certain very obvious precau-
tions were taken tho rising star would
not be seen in consequence of the pres
ence of daylight. 1t is quite clear that
If we observe star rising in the dawn
it will get more and more difficult to
observe the nearer the time of sunrise Is
approached.
Therefore. what the ancients did was
to determine time before sunrise in the
early dawn at which the star could be
very obviously and clearly seen to rise.
The term "heliacal rising" was coined to
represent star rising visibly in the
dawn, therefore. before the sun. Gen
orally throughout Egypt the sun was
supposed to be something like ten de-
grees below the horizon when star was
stated to rise Observation-Disclosures
