shown on the trial that Benz had pawned

mr.. Boyle visited Burmah the
Malay native states, 1Sum6tfa,
Siam, Borneo, Java, Australia
New Zealand, Samoa, the Sand
wich Islands and America. OF
all the facts noted by him as a
sanitarian the most remarkable
are those relating to leprosy, a
disease which he believes to be
spreading to an alarming extent
all over the world.
He was particularly struck
by the gigantic proportions the
evil has assumed in Burmah. The
steps of the great Shwedagon pa
CODA at Ragoon, the Mecca of the
Indo-C Chinese Buddhists, he found
to be closely lined from top to
bottom with lepers, suffering from
that loathsome disease in its worst
forms and most advanced stages"
A number of the victims examined
by Mr.. Boyle presented a most
sickening spectacle" Yet no pro-
vision worthy Of the name appears
to be made for the maintenance
or treatment of those poor lepers,
who are thus compelled to resort
to begging to keep themselves in
existence.
At Mandalay Mr.. Boyle came
in contact with horrors of a SINH
lar nature. During times of high
festival the entrances to the Arak-
an pagoda in that city are crowded
by hundreds of lepers, so that the
visitor has to pick his way care
fully among them. In the Sand
wich Islands also Mr.. Boyle was
strongly impressed by the terrible
effects of the curse of leprosy,
which, he says, has nearly deci-
mated the native population.
He has a curious theory to the
effect that the propagation of lep-
rosy has been to a large extent
connected with cannibalism, the
disease "being spread wholesale
through the eating of infected
bodies" He has frequently seen
in New Caledonia and the South
Sea Islands human bodies hang
ing up in the native huts, intended
for future repasts, though then in
an advanced stage of decomposi-
ton and exhaling q sickening
odor."

BE you one Of them fellars Of
the AcademyY'
The question was asked yester-
day Of Prof Biteatem, as he was
about 10 pass into the building of
the Academy Of sciences.
The questioner was a very small
man, with a solemn visage, as sol
emn as that of the King Of Eng
land who never smiled.
II am not a fellsr," said the
professor, in a digniied tone, "but
I am a Fellow of the Royal Acad-
emyofLondon, at present affiliated
with the Academy of Sciences"
Excuse me-" said the little
man, eff l mispronounced the
title, but hat don't make no differ
ence, I've como to ask your advice
about an important matter"
"Ah," CIRCULATED Professor Bit
eaten, "just step inside and we'll
talk the matter over"
He led the little man TO a con-
v%enient corner, where they were
out of sight aud hearing, and
there the little man made his rev.
citation.
81 am-well no, I'm not a miner,
but I'm what you call a prospect
or" He hesitated for a moment,
and then added, professor, ] want
to ask you do they ever find gold
in coal ?"
"No, sir" promptly answered
the professor; "such a question is
absurd. Gold, sir, is never found
in coal. In the native state is is
crystallized, the primary form
being the cube or in plates, rami-
6cations or nodules, commonly
known as nuggets. It's most always
alleged with silver, and sometimes
with tellurium, lead, bismuth, and
sometimes it occurs in small guam
titles in metallic sulphides, such as
galena, iron and copper pyrites,
but in coal, never"
"And so its never found in COAL"
unused the little man; chats what
1 thought some of you fellars-
excuse me, 1 mean fellows-would
tell me, and that's why / came up
here to convince you of your mis-
take, and to let you know that you
don't know it all"
The professor glared at the little
man, but before he could say q
word at this attack on his scientific
knowledge, the little man added
"Iv'e just come up here to tell you
that while 1 vas prospecting this
morning I ran across a solid bank
of coal, and right between two
Jumps 1 found a $40 gold piece
With that he turned away in the
direction of the street door, NUT
tering: "and them fellars say yor
can't find gold in coal. I thought
I'd teach 'em something now."
Professor Biteatem said not {
word, but went to his study t
ponder over the ~wickedness of
man who would play a joke on
scientific man.

OBITUARY..
Moses Gould.

Mr.. Moses Gould, the well-known real
estate dealer, died suddenly at the resi-
dence of his son at No. 81 Federal
street, yesterday morning. Mr.. Gould
had been out to walk but returned to the
| house and asked for some medicine, say
ing he did not feel well. He reelined on
the sofa and passed away from an attack
of heart disease.
Moses Gould was born in this city o.
tober 2e 1915, and was therefore in his
18th year. He was apprenticed to Mr..
S. II. Colesworthy when lad to learn
the bookbinder's trade and served his
apprenticeship. He then remained a
year with Mr., Colesworthy, after which
he went into partnership with his BROTH
er-in-law Mr.. Woodman, in the brass
foundry and stove business on Exchange
street. He remained in this business a
number of years, but his health failed
him. He always claimed the atmos-
phere of the brass foundry undermined
his health. He then engaged in the real
estate business, but for the past 20 years
his health has seriously interfered with
active business.
Mr.. Gould was thoroughly impressed
with the idea of the growth and prosper
ity of Portland. He was a devoted fol-
lower of the late John A. Poor, and
when Mr.. Poor advocated the Portland
& Rutland Railroad as opposed to the
Portland & Ogdensburg scheme Mr..
Gould heartily supported him and was
made member of the Rutland directo-
ry. But the Rutland scheme fell through
while the Ogdensburg road was con-
structed.
Mr.. Gould made large investments in
real estate in the eastern part OF the
city expecting in the end to realize a
large fortune from them, but failed to
see his hopes materialize.
He leaves widow and family, one of
the sons with whom Mr.. Gould resided,
being connected with the Portland Com
pany.
Mr.. Gould was a member of the Aged
Brotherhood, also of the Mechanics AS
ISOLATION, (which he joined March 10,
1s41, and of Maine Lodge of Odd Eel
lows, with which he united November
6, 1S43, OF 30 years ago.

Quite a party from this town passed
Monday at Princes Point, the favorite
summer home of so many of Yarmouth S
citizens. No wonder that it is fast
becoming so popular, for this charming
spot has but to be seen to be at once
appreciated. A delightful sense of rest
and quiet pervades the whole place, and
vet it is very convenient to feel that
the dainty little steamer Madeline, that
almost hourly touches at the wharf
which has recently been built, forms an
immediate connection, and one that
can also be depended upon, with the
outside world. Among the cottagers are
Capt. Giles Loring and wife, who have
opened their cottage for the benefit of
the visitors to the Point. Mrs. Loring
furnishes meals at all hours of the day
at reasonable rates, can accommodate
with regular board if desired and keeps
constantly on hand ice cream, connfec-
tionery and many of the little items in
dispensible to ones comfort and con-
yenience when camping out, Certainly
one has to. visit this beautiful spot but
once to have strong desire for a repeti-
tion of the same.
