WHO DIED FIRST?

A Question of Importance to the Heirs of
Two Victims of Battle Creeks Disaster.
Among the persons killed in the fright
full disaster at Battle Creek, Mich, a
few weeks ago were Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
E. SAKE. So far as the evidence showed
both died instantly and simultaneously.
Nevertheless the question as to whether
the man or the woman died first is one of
considerable Importance to the heirs of
both. and an inquiry is already afoot to
discover if possible whether there was
any calculable difference of time be-
tween their deaths.
If it could be demonstrated, for in
stance, that the man was the first to die,
his property would pass TO the heirs Of
his wife, whereas if it were shown on
the other hand that the wife died first
her estate would fall to the heirs Of her
husband. Considerable property is in
volved in this question, and the case is
one of peculiar interest.
In cases involving somewhat the same
question Of fact the law has held that the
woman, being supposedly the weaker
person, would naturally be the first to
expire. In the present instance, how
ever, where the death of the persons ap-
peared to have been simultaneous, the
courts, if it Is brought before them, will
encounter problem Of a peculiarly vex-
atious character.-NewY York Herald.

The OYSTERS ENEMY.
fhe Borer Pest Has Played Havoc witt
the Bivalyes This Season.

fhe Borer Fest Has Played Havoc With
the Bivalyes This Season.
The ''bOrer," pest about the size of
small strawberry. is working great havoc
among the oyster beds in Delaware bay
and tributary streams. Captain Moses
Veale of the oyster schooner White Lily
says that the destructive powers Of the
borer have been known to oystermen
only few years. He had followed oys-
ter digging nearly 50 years, and the first
borer he saw was about 10 years ago, but
their ravages in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticed until last year.
Captain Veale said that last year the
number of dead oysters with holes made
by borers in the shell became so great
that oystermen were alarmed. This
year the work of the borers has become
O grave matter, and if it continues many
bays will become depopulat a of oysters.
From one bed we dredged on this trip we
got 200 baskets OF oysters, but out Of
these only 200 were good, the dead oys-
tiers having been killed by borers. a
peculiar thing about the ravages of the
borers is their apparent selection of the
best oyster beds. We have found this
to be true several times this season. We
have found a bed of small oysters almost
entirely free from borers. This bed will
be separated from another bed of larger
oysters by 200 feet, but this latter will
be so badly affected by the creatures that
it will hardly pay to work it.
From what can learn fro m oyster
men the destruction wrought by borers
is more severe in Delaware bay than in
other places.
The work of the borer this year
makes a double misfortune, for the oys-
ter beds were badly damaged by the big
storm in August and September. Very
few people who are not in the oyster
dredging business know anything of the
methods of the bOrer. When first took
notice of its work, | secured several oys-
tiers just after the borer had fastened it
self to the shell. When the. borer fas-
tens itself, it holds on like leech, and it
is with difficulty that it can be removed
with the fingers.
Sometimes the borer fastens itself to
the oyster shell near the edge, and then
the oyster is not killed. When the hole
of the borer is made near the center Of
the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vital
parts and dies in three or four days after
the hole is first made"
Some Of the bed owners near Maurice
river have lost large sums of money this
year on account OF the borer. Thomas
Munsey, who has number of large beds,
it is said, will lose $4,000. Several other
men have lost nearly as much through
this unlocked for calamity, and num-
Der of men have lost in the neighborhood
of $4,000 or $4,000. All oystermen say
there can be no way of taking away the
borer without daCtrovi,no ~ tl- ----A - I-a-

Europe's Naval Scare.

The naval scare-naval panic it is now
called-does not abate in England. The
Times and other Tory newspapers thun-
der daily their warnings that the British
supremacy of the seas is in imminent
danger. 1t is rather popular cry, and
the Liberal party is offsetting it by equal
ly vehement declarations that the navy
shall be maintained on basis distinctly
superior TO the combined fleets of Russia
and France There is little doubt that
the government will provide for a big
laval expenditure In che next budget,
including the provision for several most
powerful new vessels. The budget, by
the way, will call for sharp increase in
taxation, which Is another reason for a
tempting appeal to the country before
the burden is felt.--New York Suns

Forums Reduction of Price

The Forum, which its readers regard
as the foremost of our periodicals, reduces
its price, beginning with the December
number, firm So to $2 a year, from SOC.
to 25c. a copy. This is the most note
worthy reduction in periodical literature
that has taken place-perhaps that can
take place. Magazines of fiction and
adventure, the illustrated mOnthlies
were within everybOdy's reach even
before the recent reduction in the price OF
some of them. But Nd periodical of the
class of The Forum has ever been sold
for 25c. 1t becomes the cheapest by hall
of all great reviews in the world, and il
remains the largest of all our periodicals
of it's kind, and it's character is in no way
changed.
