The Tower Of Silence.


The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves to defile any of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession (white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier to the Tower of Silence. At the
entrance they look their last on the dead,
and the corpse bearers-a caste of such
carry it within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after,
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not to
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there Is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums of
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is q series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.
Of superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to the
efficacy of dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and to
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom
airy to lead a dog into the chamber of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the tower.-Nine-
teenth Century.

Eccentricities In Palaces.


The King of SIAM who, according to
late reports, has had palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and SO live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has INDUCED in eccentricities of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber Of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Gar Paul, ancestor Of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full
uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia.
One of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall in cascade over the gateway, and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed be-
side his dinner table life size figure of
tiger devouring an English officer, the
roar Of the beast and the shrieks of the
victim being initiated by hidden machin-
ery.-Harper's Young People.

THE DEATH OF TIE EARTH.
It Will Be Occasioned by the Gradual Ell
tinctiOn of the SIM.

It Will Be Occasioned by the Gradual Ex-
tinction of the Sun.
M. Camille Flalnmarion says that in
all probability, Notwithstanding all the
circumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die, not of an accident, but OF
a natural death. hat death will be the
consequence Of t. extinction of the sun,
in 10000, 600 years or more-perhaps &c.
600 ,O00-since its condensation in rela-
lively moderate rate will give it on one
hand 100000 years of existence, while,
on the other hand, the inevitable fall of
the meteors into the sun may double this
number.
Even if you suppose the duration of
the sun to be prolonged to 100000, 900
years, it is still incontestable that the
radiation from the sun cools it, and that
the temperature of all the bodies tends to
any equilibrium. Then the earth and
all the other planets of our system will
cease to be the abode of life. They will
be erased from the great book and will
revolve, .black K. cemeteries, around an ex-
tinguished sun.
Will these planets continue to exist
even then? Yes, probably in the case of
Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn? No, be-
yond doubt, for the small bodies such
as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and
the moon. Already the moon appears
to have preceded us toward the final des-
ert. Mars is much farther advanced
than the earth to the same destiny. We
nus, younger than us, will doubtless
survive us. These little worlds lose their
elements Of vitality much faster than
the sun loses it's heat.
From century to century, from year
to year. from day to day, from hour to
hour. the surface of the earth is trans
formed. On the one hand the CONT
nents are crumbling away and becoming
covered by the sea, which insensibly and
by slow degrees tends to invade and sub
merge the entire globe. On the other
hand, the amount of water on the globe
is diminishing. A careful and reason
able calculation shows that by the &C.
ton of erasure alone all tho land on our
planet will be covered by water in 10,-
DOC, 900 years.

Two In Jail and Three Others on the

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IA special to the
Associated Press from Little Rock, Ark.
says: Dispatches from Batesville to The
Democrat says that five of the Oliphant
robbers in all have been captured. Two
are in Jail at Batesville and three are be-
ing carried overland to Newport. A con-
siderable part Of the plumber was recov-

overland were captured in White river
bottoms after the exchange of several
shots, which wounded one of the robbers.
No names are given Of those cap
tured' The two men in Jail at Bates
vile give their names as Lemon and
Arnett. They are sullen and refuse to
talk. They have every appearance of
desperate men.

Will Not Saw a Word.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. "A special from
Batesville. Ark, says: The two robbers
in jail here refuse absolutely to talk.
Officers, Railway men and jailors have
all failed to secure from the prisoners a
single word regarding themselves or
their accomplices To all questions they
reply: ''You may break our necks, but
you can't get a giveway from u.s." A
report that three more Of them had been
captured grew out of the fact that the
fleeing robbers were so hotly pursued
they dropped their hats and coats to
tighten themselves.

INST SETTLERS.
Decision In a Land Grant Case In
Favor of the Omaha
Road
BY Which Settlers on $4,000 Acres
In Northern Wisconsin Are
g.. Ousted. -.ss-~.-E
1t Is Reversal of the Decision of
Local Officials Made Last
Spring.

ASHLAND, Wis, Nov. 7.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has made another decision,
the full text of which has just been re-
ceived at the United States land office,
by which the Omaha road secures I'M
disputed possession Of IS 900 acres of
land. The case is entitled Omitted
States ex Rel. w. Houlton vs.. Chicago
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
Railroad" The commission is over
ruled and quietus is put upon the ef-
forts Of Houlton and the settlers who
were after the land. In 1856 a land
grant was made to Wisconsin and an
other in 1860. which was conferred upon
the La Crosse and Milwaukee road and
is now occupied by the Omaha road
which has been running for many years.
In 1890 Houlton filed a declaratory state
ment for portion of the lands. Four for
mer decisions have been made by which
2OO,OOC acres remained unappropriated
and was opened to homestead entry. In
1887 Secretary Lamar was directed to
Make Final Adjustment,
which was begun by him and completed
by Secretary Noble Dec 10, 1890. "The
road was debarred from reopening and
from making claims for more lands"
says Secretary Smith, ''then why should
not the government be prevented from
reopening?' Houlton claims the lands,
Which have been claimed by the railroad
company for 30 years. It mi ght we'll be
said by the defendant: THE United
States; after years of considera-
ton, made an adjustment which
they declared to be final and which the
company was willing to abide by. The
action is now repudiated and declared
not to be final. We, the company, have
right to final accounting and adjust
ment.. If the officers of the government
are unable to make an adjustment the
court should make final adjustment"
The commissioners decision of last April
is therefore overruled and the Omaha is
given undisputed possession.

Triple Pillar Saw Frame.

Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is a triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
space not much wider than an ordina-
ry vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much as
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that is farthest from
the crank shaft. There is bell crank
and fywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration. New York Sun.

In consequence Of certain disorders that

The inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and 60 Of them, ;.ll
