Numerous parties were about the ceme-

case a man who was looking for three
relatives had box after box opened, aud

work can be done about the place be-

star can be seen, and artificial lights
seem to give but faint illumination.
The sun does not cast a shadow during
the day, but looks like large purple
disk in the heavens.
