Human Bodies Catching Fire.

The theory of spontaneous combustion
of the human body in former times was
held by almost every expert. French
scientists in particular supported it, and
several of them published pamphlets in
which numerous cases of alleged spon.
taneous combustion of the human BODY
were described at length, but there are
three very significant points to be noticed
in connection with such reports. One
is the invariable admission that there
was light or fire in the room where the
catastrophe occurred; another, that the
alleged instances Away happened in
families composed of ignorant persons;
and another, that in no case was there
any actual witness of the occurrence.
Something like seventy five per cent.
of the human body consists of water;
this fact in itself is sufficient to discredit
any of the alleged instances of spontane-
GUS combustion. 1t IS just conceivable
that persons who drink an enormous
amount of spirituous liquors may become
so saturated, as it were, with this in
iammable material that their bodies
burn much more easily than would those
of people who do not overindulge in
this way; but it is perfectly certain that
the fire would have to be applied from
without, for no such thing as spontauc

WHITE DARK WAYS.

B. M. Thomas, the revenue collec-
tor, said yesterday that there are a
number of impostors going through
Chinatown representing themselves
to be customs officials. They dis
play badges and make the owners of
the stores open their goods for ex-
animation. After the men have re-
tired the owners generally find that
some of their goods are missing
Quin Lee, merchant at 746
Washington street, reported to Mr..
Thomas yesterday that four men had
entered his store on the day prece-
ding and compelled him to display
all of the unopened cases in his
store. They exhibited badges and
said they were United States officers.
After they had completed their ex-
animation and left the store, Lee
noticed that considerable of his fancy
bric-a- brac was missing from the
cases. He had heard of other Chi
nese merchants being treated in the
same manner and consequently laid
the matter before Thomas.
Lee was told that there were no
officials doing such work in China
town. The police have been notified
and have been given description of
the men by the Chinese. Some time
ago the same scheme was successfully
worked in Chinatown until they
learned that the police were looking
for them. $. F. Chronicle.

The tuman line steamship City of
New York is beginning to fu Gil the
early expectations of her owners.
She proved herself yesterday emf
nently qualified to bear aloft the stars
and stripes 10y making Il splendid run
to Queenstown. The time was days
20 minutes, which has been frequently
beaten, hut her average hourly speed
was 20.06 knots, which Is uneXcelled
in eastward voyages, and is knot
better than the best speed developed
by the City of Paris on her fastest
voyage { > days 10 hours and 8 min.
utes) to this port in August 1889.
The City of New York covered
1896 knots in daily runs from noon
to noon, a period of n little more
than % hnurs-of 45S, 467, 40,
472, 473, 475 and 81 knots.
The eastward record, days 81
hours and 3 minutes, was made by
the White Star steamship Teutonc
last fall over course of 2790 miles.
Maintaining her fine average of 20. 06
knots an hour, the City of New York
could cover that eastward course in 5
days and about 10 hours.
For nearly year after she made
her maiden voyage steamship men
unfamiliar with the City of New York
regarded her as rather a failure. Her
original commander, Captain Wat
kins, who is now on the City of Paris,
always has declared that eventually
she would do quite as well as the City
of Paris.--N. Y. Sun, May 20.

TREASON AND THE ADVERTISER.

The Advertiser has what it is to be
hoped are its last words on the trea-
son prosecutions. Its hoped to be
final utterances are of the same cast
as its earlier ones. From the first
the Advertisers comments on the
prosecutions have been of the most
despicable character. 1t seemed to
madden the Advertiser to find that
the Government and the Marshal
had, 10y taking effective measures for
nipping an insurrection in the bud,
proved itself maligner and falsitier.
The Advertiser also showed a strong
desire to have the mistake of 1889
repeated. Its closing expressions of
sympathy with filibusterers either
sustain this view of its course, or
else prove that it gauges current
events and appraises notorious facts
with the sagacity of fool. For in
stance, it says the examination
proved thst the conspiracy was in q
vague, obscure and elementary stage
that the members of the League were
divided among themselves, full of
mutual distrust, uncertain in their
aims, without plans and without arms
and ammunition to carry out any
plans which they might have had"
The evidence did not show these
things any more or any less than the
evidence in the treason of 1889 trials
did in respect to that movement
which eliminated in bloody and
destructive insurrection. On the
contrary, the evidence proved more
elaborate and better planned scheme,
not only for capturing the govern
ment but for covering every section
of the town with reign of terror.
Moreover, the cautious development
of the prosecution showed that much
more was known than vas presented
at the preliminary eXahlination. The
evident cagerness of the prisoners
who testified in their own behalf to
gain sympathy for themselves by in
eliminating others, and to put a
bland face on the most sinister facts
established against them, further
attested the fact of desperate and
dangerous plot. Why did V. V. Ash
ford, member of the Hawaiian bar,
submit to exile like malefactor if
he was not aware of deeper and
deadlier treason than appeared in the
strongest evidence presented? Why
should he have fitted in stealth from
one port to another and, according
to authority furnished by the Adver-
tiser itself, get on board foreign
vessel in disguise, if he was not in
terror that the divulgence of the full
facts would bring down on him the
summary vengeance of the commun-
ity? Why did his brother, a mem
Der of the Legislature, and his coun-
sel-accordiIg to the statement of
Hon. G. w. Ashford in the Legisla-
ture-- negotiate with the authorities
for his ignoble expulsion from the
country, if the whole prosecution
was the ridiculous fiasco represented
by the Advertiser?
