Our Navy Abroad.

A. B. de Guerville, honorary com
missioner for the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, whose recent article in this
paper descriptive of an interview with
Ii Hung Chang, the Vlceroy of China,
has attracted wide attention, gives US in
a personal note a statement Of the sorry
figure which the old wooden vessels OF
the United States cut 10 foreign waters
and the contempt which is felt in China
and elsewhere for our naval proves
Mr.. de Guerville writes;
"The Chinese do not think much OF

gun having been added to their now
worthless armament The Chinese,
who have now magnificent modern

could easily enough destroy our navy.

Tests for Death.

In an article IN the June Lancet Dr.
Edwin Howard describes the tests for
death employed in the case of an aged
woman supposed to have died from
bronchitis. They were in results as
follows
First-1eart sounds and motion
entirely absent together with all pulse
movement
Second $500 Respiratory sounds and
movements absent
Third-Temperature Of the body
taken from the mouth the same as that
of the surrounding air in the room, 62
degrees Fahrenheit
Fourth-A bright needle plunged
into the body Of the biceps muscle
(Cloquets needle test aud left there
shows, on Withdrawal, no sign of oXida-
ton.
Fifth-Intermittent shocks OF elec.
tricity at different tensions passed into
various muscles and groups of muscles
gave no indication whatever of irrita.
biity
Sixth-The fillet test applied to the
veins of the arm Richardson's test
causes no filling of the veins on thu
distal side of the hllet
Seventh--The opening of a vein t,
ascertain whether the blood has undei
gone coagulation shows that the bloc
was still fluid.
Eighth-The simultaneous injection
of ammonia Monte Verde's test
causes the dirty brown stain indlcativ
of dissolution.
Ninth-On making careful move
mentS of the joints Of the eXtremetie
of the lower Jaw and of the occipitC
frontslis, rigor morris is found in Sc,
eral parts.
Thus of these nine tests, eight dis
tinctly declared that death was absc
lutte, the exception, the huidity OF tn
blood, being a phenomenon quite con
patible with blood preternaturally flu
and at a low temperature, even thong
death had occurred.
Tenth-There now remained tn
diaphanous test, which we carried OF
by the aid Of powerful reflector lam
yielding an excellent and penetratin
light. To our surprise, the scarlet lin
of light between the fingers was as dis
tinct as it was in our own hands sub
jected to to same experiment. Tn
mass of evidence was of course dis
tinctly to the effect that death wa
complete; but to make assurance

THE COLONIAL RECORDs.

The Act of the legislature for the
publication of the Colonial Records
provided for their publication down
to the year 1881. The act though
wisely conceived came too late for
the preservation of much valuable
material which has now been hope
lessly lost. Still much remains,
which though widely scattered, by
the intelligent cooperation OF our
people may be gathered together
The late Col. W. L. Saunders pro-
cured in London the material
which had been preserved in the
Colonial Office there, and adding
what was to be had from other
sources brought the work down to
1776. His illness and lamented
death put an end to his labors at
that point just as he was entering
fully upon the most interesting pc,
riod OF our Revolutionary history.
The Governor and trustees of the
Public Library have secured the
services of Judge Clark of our Su-
preme Court to collect the material
and continue the publication of our
Records down to 1871 as prescribed
in the act of the legislature. Like
Colonel Saunders, Judge Clark rem
ders these services to the State
without any compensation of any
kind except the sense of discharg-
ing patriotic duty to his native

The Baltimore Sun says that in
the past year $6O,OOO,OOO of coin
notes have been issued in the pur-
chase CT silver, and during the
same time $45.OOO.OOO in gold has
been drawn from the Treasury by
presenting these certificates and
demanding payment. But how
much gold has been drawn from the
Treasury by presenting gold certifi-
Gates and legal tenders ? The Sun
fails to state that. And as the gold
was withdrawn for export chiefly, it
would have been obtained by the
use of either gold certificates or
legal tenders, had there been no
coin notes. These coin notes are
not destroyed by their REDEEM ption,
but go at once back into the chan
nels of trade, like the greenbacks
would do; but unlike the gold GER
tiicates which on redemption are
retired.
And it is misleading to couple the
$45,OOO,O0O of gold withdrawn on
coin notes with the $6O,OOO,OOO OF
them issued this year; for there are
outstanding much larger amount
OF these notes than $6O,OOO,O0O-

These sample boards represented 16

brought to red heat, then a white heat
