hind clear indications that there is no
appreciation whatever of the great
overshadowing change that is upou it,
even though the mind remains clear
and active to the last.
A mother hearing me whisper at her
beside: "She is dying" opened her
eyes and replied: "I'n be better in a
minute" though when the minute had
elapsed she had given her last sigh
her last heart-throb A little girl
clinging to her fathers hand one sunny
morning said: Papa, light the lamp;
it is getting SO dark" and Immediately
expired. A young man asked: why
do you all cry? 1 shall get well soon, :"
and fell back on his pillow, dead.
These expressions show clearly that
the putting on of Immortality was un-
accompanied by sensations indicative
of the change.
In a great majority of cases death is
preceded 10y period of unconscious
ness, more or less profound and of
greater or less duration. In this state
the vital spark goes out painlessly and
without any evidence of the mind be-
ing illumined for a single instant by
returning consciousness. Deathbeds
are rarely painful.

AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.

some of the Objections to Living in North
ern Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
3orneo is the queerest and most I'M
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the st. Louis Globe
Democrat 1t is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north of it, great
shoals of sand existing few miles out
which extend along its entire northern
length. These shoals are covered by
depth of water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands of
all visible life. When such storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often it gathers up sand,
great masses of it, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that. Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo. In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply heavy
population for weeks. But such luck
is no PREPARATION for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives.

DANDIES IN THE ARMY.
German Soldiers Who Bedeck Themselve
with Finery.


with Finery.
Referring to the recent order of the
German emperor with regard to the
dandyfed irregularities which had be-
come common in the German army,
says the London Globe, correspon-
dent at Berlin calls our attention to
the fact that the kaiser himself is not
altogether free from affectation of this
kind, inasmuch as he himself sets the
fashion of bangle" wearing In most
of the many portraits of the kaiser the
bangle is brought into special promi-
nence by the position of the arm. But
though addicted to the bangle, he new
er condescended to the earring, which
formerly was very commonly worn
among his officers.
In the time of Frederick William IL,
when the German army was resting on
the laurels of the great Frederick, dan
dies fourished in great numbers among
the officers, in spite of severe official
condemnations of foppery. The mon
stroslties and extravagances differed
but slightly from those of to-day
sharp-pointed toes, ridiculously high
collars and short overcoats without
seams. Latter-day exquisites have also
adopted the plan of crowding on the
finger as many rings as possible-he
who can carry the largest number on
the ring fingers and at the same time
bend his finger being considered to
have the bluest blood.

DEATH is RARELY PAINFUL.

But Sensations of Approaching Dissolu-
ton Are Little Known to Physicians.
Descriptions of the sensations of
those who thought they were about to
die, but who passed into more or less
profound state of Inconsistencies and
afterward recovered, though intense
and realistic, cannot be accepted as
authentic portrayals of the sensations
of the dying, since these persons did
not die, says medical writer in Kate
Fields Washington. The temporary
suspension of all the physical signs of
life, as in trance or lethargy, may SO
exactly simulate death that all may
agree that the person is dead, while
yet that indefnable something which
holds the soul to the body remains and
is capable of reinstating the common
phenomena of life. We have no reason
to assume that the sensations expe-
r1enced in passing into this state of
Inconsistencies resemble the sensa-
lions of those who have actually felt
the earthly house of this tabernacle
dissolved. Unconsciousness is not
death. i only effectively resembles
it. Physicians at the bedside of the
dying, while holding the Pickering,
weakening pulse beneath the finger,
eagerly watch for some word or sign
expressive of the sensations of ap-
preaching dissolution. Nothing, how
ever, of value ever comes to US. In
deed many life goes out leaving be-

ARCTIC INSECTS.
Immense Quantities of Larvae Brought
Down by Glaciers.

Down Dy GLACIERS.
1t is matter of surprise to all who,
for the first time, have any experiences
in high northern ATTITUDES, to note
the great abundance of insect life in
Alaska. The writer Of this paragraph,
says Meehan's Monthly, was especially
interested in noting the large amount
of larvae and other low conditions of
animal life which was carried down
from the melting glaciers into the
rivers and streams which flowed from
them. 1t is to this that we have to
attribute the great abundance of high
er forms of animal life which prevail.
Fish especially are in such quantities
near the coast, attracted by this
abundance, that it seems like repeat
ing the tales of Baron Munchausen to
the listener. The young son of the
writer, who was with him in this ex-
petition, was, with couple of Indians
in boat, able to drive salmon into
narrow creeks in such abundance that
the boat would be driven against the
fish in their endeavors to escape. They
could have been dragged up in shoals
by any strong and ordinary net. In
the earlier history of Colorado very
much stress was laid on the fact that
Fremont saw bee on one of the high
elevations while crossing the Rocky
mountains. Lieut.. Peary in his recent
expedition to North Greenland found
humble bee on the north coast of
Greenland-the highest point of land
yet reached by human being SO far
as known. This explorer states that
not only bees, but other insects abound
as soon as the spring fairly opens.
Flowers OF many kinds are particular
ly beautiful and abundant, affording a
good chance for honey and pollen-col-
Letting insects to lay up rich stores in

Weight of Stationary Engines.

Ordinary stationary engines weigh
with their boilers, from 500 to 1,6O(
pounds per indicated horse power
modern locomotives, 140 pounds; ma
rine engines on merchant steamers
480 pounds; engines in the British
navy, 800 pounds; light launch engines
like those of Herreshoff, for example
only so pounds. For aeronautical pur
poses an engine is said to have beer
built which, while developing / horse
power, weighed only 10 pounds. These
weights, while including the boiler, dc
not include water and fuel. These
supplies may be estimated at % pounds
of water and 4pounds of coal per horse
power per hour.

A BOYS PLUCK.
Nine-Year-Old David Captures Thirty
Two Pound Carp.

Nine-Year-Old David Captures Thirty
Two Pound Carp.
An exciting combat between a nine
year-old boy and thirty-two-pound
German carp took place on James
Moore's farm, near Bristol, says the
Philadelphia Record. The Neshaminy
creek in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep. The
other day David Cherry, the young son
of John Cherry, of this place, and two
mall companions went fishing up the
creek. In one of the open bitches on
the Moore farm the lads espied three
huge carp Hopping about, the water
being too shallow for them to swim
without greatly disturbing the sur
face. David, pluckier than his play
mates, jumped into the ditch and
seized the largest of the monster fish.
The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had
the advantage, being in it's native ele-
ment. Young Cherry had tight hold
of it, but the carp plunged through
the water and mud, dragging the lad
behind. The boys on shore thought
their companion would surely be
drowned, for often his whole body was
under water. At last the fish grew SC
weary in his mighty efforts to escape
his captor that he could be thrown out
upon the bank. Then all three boys
jumped upon the carp and held him to
the ground until he had gasped out his
lite. They Iugged their trophy home
and put it on the scales. The fish
weighed thirty-two pounds.

A CASTLE In THE AIR.
Novelty Of Great Size for the Ant
werp Exposition.
Six Gigantic Balloons VIII Sustain an
Aggregate Weight of Sixty Tons
A Restaurant in the
ClOuds.

1t is difficult to conjecture what the
international expositions of the TWEEN
tieth century will offer to the world as
their cardinal attractions. If inven-
tions and schemes multiply at the pres
ent rate the future generations will
cape at surprises that will exceed the
widest imaginations of Baron Mum
chausen, Don Quixote or CULVER.
Paris was initiative with her architec-
tural marvel, the Eiffel tower. Chicago
followed suit with the colossal Ferris
wheel, and now comes Antwerp to the
front with an aluminium air-castle
project, which has ripened in the brain
of the Belgian engineer Tobyanski.
What next? Visitors to the Antwerp
exposition will ascend by elevator to
cafe swinging in mid-air, 1000 feet
above terra frma. Whether the res
taurant proper will be financial sue
cess or not remains to be seen. Not
everybody may feel digestively at ease
in this high swinging construction.
Dining-room chairs are conspicuously
vacant on ocean steamers during the
nrSG TWO Gays OF voyage. Wnen,
however, the ascent will prove com
paratively safe, thousands will patron
ize the novelty and will help to enrich
the Air Castle company.
The foundationless edifce will &C.
tually be built in the shape of a
schloss, 2Ox1OO feet, and what makes
the scheme most possible is the dis
covered usefulness of aluminium.
Large bamboo sticks in conjunction
with this new metal will constitute
the principal building material.
Mannesman steel tubes and other light
material will also be introduced. Steel
netting, lined with China silk, will
cover the whole, which will permit
the mind to pass through and lessen

EDISON'S FATHER.
Although Ninety Years of Age. He Is Still
as Spry as Cat.

Although Ninety Years OF Age, He Is SILL
as Spry as Cat,
Several days ago man of patriarchal
appearance walked into the laboratory
of Thomas A. Edison in Orange, N. Y.
Contrary to general custom, he was at
once ushered into the great inventors
presence. There was a glad cry of
surprise on the part of the latter, ex
periments were forgotten for the mo-
ment and the two men wrung each
others hands warmly.
The old gentleman was the father of
the wizard of electricity, and beyond
that a remarkable man in his way. He
had come from Port Huron, Mich.
where he lives, to see his son on a
purely business matter, and returned
to his home in few days.
His name is Samuel Edison, and he
was born in Nova Scotia, August Z,
1908, so that he is now in his ninety
first year. His father was one hundred
and three years of age when he died,
and the old gentleman says it is his
intention to break the record. He

lete and runner. When he was sixty
years old he outjumped every man in
the Twenty-second Michigan regi-
ment. For two years past he has car
ried cane, but he gets angry if any
body tries to help him in any way and
he will not have it that he is old at all.

of his father the other day, che want
ed to pay me visit to Menlo park
and by mistake got on train that did
not stop there. Just as he got to the
station and found the train was going
through he grabbed his gripsack and
jumped. He was pretty badly used up
when he came up to the laboratory.
His clothes were torn and his face
scratched. He was more crestfallen
than hurt, believe, and said to me:
''I tell you, Tom, wouldn't do it
again for ten dollars
"He limped around for several days,
and then l found out what led him to
make the jump. When l was news
boy in Michigan always used to jump
from the trains, as the depot was
about a mile from where my route
commenced. l always had several
loads of sand dumped at the place and
jumped off into that. I did this regu-
larly and got so expert at it that I
could jump from trains going forty
miles an hour. The old gentleman re-
membered it and thought he was able
to do the same. He afterward admit

that he twas eloquent in four Ian
guages." He has recently emerged

the otherwise heavy stored pressure
on solid roof.
After admitting $50 visitors to the
castle it will not weigh much more
than sixty tons. Notwithstanding
this fact, it is a stupendous weight to
lift and keep suspended in the air. A
giant composite balloon consisting of
six parts, each one of which is an in
dependent balloon, will perform this
task
How to keep this prodigious gas-flled
mass from undertaking an indefinite
tour of aeronautic explorations on it's
own account is question that is
solved by sixteen stout steel cables,
which are securely fastened on the ex-
position grounds. In a similar manner
the castle itself is to be secured by
strong cables and ropes, and it might
be supposed that this would be suffi-
Gent to keep it perfectly rigid. The
high altitude and the fexibility of the
steel cables, however, will invite a
perceptible swaying motion in the
least stormy weather. Two of the bal
looms may happen to get out of repair
at one time without seriously interior
ing with the aerial diversions, since it
only takes four of them to support the
cafe when fully equipped and filed
with people. A gasmaking apparatus
on the grounds will initiate the large
silk balls, which will hold on an aver
age 1880 cubic meters of gas each.
The fine bird's-eye view which will
thus be afforded over the exposition
and over the most picturesque scenery
of Belgium will make the castle a
mecca for artists. 1t will also contain
observatories for astronomical investi-
cations and optical telegraphy. AS it
is to revel at night in a maze of cleo
trio lights of endless colors, it will pre-
sent magic and most fantastic spec
tacle to the crowds below.
