Judge Niblack was a native of Indiana
and one of its most prominent sons. He
held many Offices OF trust with rare credit
to himself and his constituents. The de-
ceased was recognized throughout his
career as a man OF sterling honesty and
moral worth and was distinguished for his
devotion to principle. He was the per-
sonal friend of the late Vice-President
Hendricks. In politics he was q democrat
in the partisan sense of the term, but was
distinguished on the bench for absolute
fairness and perfect freedom from polit-
ical bias.

The death of Judge Niblack removes
one more OF the Indiana politicians and
gentlemen of the old school. He was as
near like Thomas A. Hendricks perhaps
as one man could be like another who
was not a relative. A native born
Hoosier, he reflected honor upon the
state in a public career of half a century.
Judge Niblack was consistent democrat,
but he was a great deal more; he was a
manly man, in all the relations Of life.

whose death occurred at his Indianapolis
home yesterday afternoon. He was the
lifelong friend of the late Vice-President
Hendricks and had been distinguished in
Indiana politics since 1886. when he WIS
sent to congress from the Nincennes dis

more sacrificing in their friendships.
Judge Niblsck was regarded as one of the

was a man of high ability and one whose

The Ideal Sick Room.

Doctor B. W. Richardson says, that
the first words of most physicians
when they enter sick rooms in private
houses should be Goethe's dying TX
clamation: "More light more light"
It certainly is true, that generally be-
fore the doctor car get a good look at
the patient he has to ask that the cur
tain be raised, in order that the rays
of a much greater healer than the
ablest physician may ever hope to be

are SO affected that they cannot bear
the light, a little ingenuity will suffice
to screen them, and at the same time
allow the cheerful light to enter. A
dark sick room must be an uncheerful
one. and now that it is known that
light is one of the most impotent mi

If they were quite sure the patient were

rooms, for light not only Stays bacteria,

'sthe darkened roollt" that is such an
ordinary accompaniment Of illness that
it may be said to be firmly built into
English literature, we must go back
hundreds OF years, when q patient who
was sick, say on a "four-poster" bed
stead, was tightly inclosed with red
curtains-that color, through some un-
accountable superstition, being thought
to have an occult potency over disease.

The Weight of Compact Bodies.

The load which is produced by a
dense crowd Of persons is generally
taken at eighty to 100 pounds Der
sauare foot and is considered to be the
oreatest uniformly distributed load for
which q floor need be proportioned.
THAT this value may be largely ex-
ceeded in an actual crowd was pointed
out by Professor w. G. Kernot. of
Melbourne University, Australia, in a
recent paper before the Victorian In
etitnte of Engineers, copied into En-
ioineer News. In an actual trial, a class
81 students averaging 1885 pounds
each in weight were crowdedin a lobby
sloontaining 1928 square feet, making
,an average floor load of 1874. z pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man, which would have
brought up the loading to 1881
pounds per square foot. Professor
tKernot also quoted &rom stoney, who
placed ffty-eight laborers, averaging
i45 pounds eachin weight1in an empty
ship deck-house measuring ifty-seven
SQUARE feet floor IRE This was a load
oil 147.4 pounds per square foot. In
another test, with seventy-three labor
ers crowded into a hut nine feet by
eight feet eight inches, Stoney pro-
dnced a load of 142 pounds per SQUARE
foot and estimated that two or three
more men eouldhave been squeezed in,
II appears from these experiments that
While the figures ordinarily assumed of
eighty to 100 pounds are sufficiently
correct for spaces on which there is no
PAUSE to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say 140 to $50
pounds per square foot, should be used

Deer and Iron Horse Racing.

Passengers on the up train over the
Bangor and Piscataquis division of the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad wit
messed an exciting race between a deer
and the train the other morning.
When just beyond Shirley and on the
level, where the train was making full
ly thirty miles an hour, a big deer
came in sight in a wood road just be-
hind the hindefmost car. It was a
buck, with lofty head and trim limbs.
He came along at a rapid gait, over,
took the train and for a mile and a
half kept even pace with the engine,
sometimes coming within forty rods Of
the cars. Finally the train crossed the
wood road, which had run parallel to
the track, and the buck made a break
for the deep snow and went out of
sight behind some bushes. It is be.
lieved that dogs were chasing the deer,
10 that he did not dare to turn back,
and 80 followed the train to escape his
pursuers. Bangor (Me.) News.
