Paris is the head center Of the skel-
eton trade. The mode Of preparation
is very delicate operation. Tho
scalpel is first called into requisition
to remove the muscular tissues. Its
work being done, the bones are boiled,
being carefully watched meanwhile
that they may not be overdone. Aft
er this cannibalistic procedure they
are bleached in the sun. Even the
spots Of grease are sure to appear
when they are exposed TO heat The
French treat these with ether and
benzine, securing thereby a dazzling
whiteness, which is a distinguishing
mark Of their skeletons. They are
warranted neverto turn yellow and
to stand thetest Of any climate. New

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing Of small pistol sets
free about 800 foot pounds of energy,
while a watch consumes about one
one-ffty.four.millionth Of o horse
power, the energy Of the bullet being
sufficient to keep the time for two
years. An Edison telephone trans
mitter requires about one one-thou-
sandth Of the energy in a watch. It
would therefore be worked for 1000
years on the energy exerted in the
pistol. A lightning flash Of 3,500,00O
volts and 1000 amperes, lasting one
one hundred d-and twenty-one thou
sandth Of a second, would run 1850

Tho Tenement Districts Compared with
Those of Other Cltios.
A recent census report shows that
thereare 81 900 houses in New York,
occupied by a number Of families so
great as to imply that there are
nearly four families @.s2) for every
house in the metropolis. When it is
recalled that there are thousands Of
beautiful homes in New York occu-
pied each by one family only, that
miles of avenues and streets are
lined with houses each individually
owned and occupied by one family
group, it will BIO realized to what ex-
tent in other parts Of the city crowd.
ing occurs, when to accommodate an
average of nearly four families to
each house the remaining houses
only are available.
Comparing the condition of New
York with Philadelphia the difference
| ismost marked. In Philadelphia the
average number of families to each
house is one family and one-tenth,
as against three families and over
three-quarters in New York for each
house, In New York the average
for each house is 10 people, while in
Philadelphia the average is not s
people per house. The death rate
tells the rest. In New York it is 2S
in every 1000, in Philadelphia 90 per
1000. While New York has 10 peo-
Pile to each house, London has only
II, with a death rate 3 per cent lower
than New York.
The extent of the crowding in New
York is made painfully apparent by
the statement of the national census,
which shows that out Of u popula-
ton of 100000 no less number
than 1900 600 live in apartments,
flats and tenements. Still further is
this confirmed by the sanitary cen
sus made by the police in which it
was found that there were herded in
what the board of health designates
as the tenement district" no less
than ZIG, 900 families. This number,
exceeding quarter of a million fam
lilies, averaging five persons to each,
is so great us to excite surprise that
such a condition can exist in the
chief city of the new world, where
conditions of civilization, as illus
trated by the character and number
Of homes, ought to have their most
perfect exemplification, But the

1t was one of the late Senator
Kenna's ambitions to photograph a
deer on the run. Finally he hadsome
boys to 90 into the bushes to start up
the deer, and he had his hand on the
bulb which governed the camera,
ready to press it when the animal
should appear. AS he heard it crash
ing through the brush, however, he
dropped the bulb and picked up his
gun. AS the deer sprang forth he
killed it, Chicago Herald.

Diamonds and pearls and gold.

Had not Midas touch at need,
He against d sylvan reed
Set his lips, and breathed song;
Bid bright Flora, as she comes,
Snatch spray Of orange blooms
Fora maiden's hair
Let the hours their aprons fiji
With mignonette and daffodil
And all that's fair
For her bosom fetch the rose

Could by any happening be
Ornaments to such as she.
They'll but show, when she is dressed,
She Is fairer than the fairest.

A WINNING CANDIDATE.

There Is the best of reason for be-
lieving that Mr.. Henry e. Tiepke will
receive the Republican nomination for
mayor Of Pawtucket at the convention
to be held this evening. Last evening a
caucus of delegates was held at which
an informal ballot was taken which was
practically unanimous in Mr.. Tiepke's
favor.
That he will make strong candidate
cannot be doubted. He Is young, Wig
orous. full Of enthusiasm and has the
gift of inspiring others with much OF his
own spirit. AS an organizer he has rem
dered the party in Pawtucket
and throughout the state SER
vices that cannot be valued
too highly. While he is the represen-
tative Of the young and progressive
element Of the party he is by no means
without experience in municipal affairs.
In both bran shes Of the city government
he displayed signal ability and capaci-
ty for the successful conduct Of public
business that, won for him the respect
aud confidence Of all fair-miuded.
citizens.
He is candidate upon whom every
member of the party can unite and we
have no doubt he will also receive the
support of that independent element of
the Democracy which is opposed to
machine rule and bossism. In his
hands the interests of the city and the
citizens will be safe. Moreover, he can
be depended upon to give Pawtucket a
vigorous, progressive. and at the same
time economical administration. His
nomination is an augury of success for
the Republican party.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

OF all the sad railway catastrophies of
the year yesterdays was the most horri-
flying. Nearly thirty persons were
killed outright or burned to death before
the eyes of the crowd that made unavail-
ing efforts to save them. This time the
tragedy was not due to a misplaced
switch. broken rail, thick fog or any
of the hundred and one causes which
are brought forward in excuse for the
sacrifice of life but TO the criminal dis
regard aud disobedience of orders BY
Conductor Scott and Engineer Woolley
of the Raymond aud Whiicomb special.
At Battle Creek they received orders
to run out to Nichols and to wait there
for the west-bound Pacific express to
pass before going on to the main single
track. Their orders were explicit
aud definite on this point yet with a
perversiiy that is inconceivable under
the circumstances the train passed over
the double track section to the single
track, where it was crashed into By the
ill-faied west-bound express.
The conductor has fed but the engi-
neer is under arrest, and naturally
enough seeks 10 shift the responsibility
for the collision from his own to the
shoulders of the fugitive. His story is
that the conductor gave him copy OF
the order and at the same time urged
him to pull out as the Pacific express
they were ordered to wait for had
passed. This he did and a few minutes
later came tina. fearful crash with its
attendant scenes Of agony and death.
But is Engineer Woolley's excuse a
valid one? BY no means. The chief
purpose of duplicating orders from the
train dispatcher and the furnishing
of copy to engineer and conductor is
to guard against mistake or mis-
Interpretation by either. Under the
irrevocable rule Of railway companies it
is the duty Of the engineer to obey the
order Of the train dispatcher even when
1t conflicts with the order OF the con-
ductor.
Even had the conductor given the
order Woolley claims he did, the engin-
eer should have declined to 60 beyond
the point at which he was directed to
await the passing Of the Pacific ex-
press. His failure to do this makes him
mainly responsible for the catastrophe,
and in the interests OF humanity
both he and the conductor who
shares the culpability with him
should be promptly punished. They
have caused sacrifice of human life,
compared with which the work of the
outlawed train wrecker sinks into insig-
nificance, and Justice demands that
they pay the penalty for their murder
Gus misdoing.
