The Duty Of Physicians.

The horror with which the dissec-
ton of human bodies by medical stu
dents was almost universally regard
ed a generation or more ago, is grad
ualy disappearing. Intelligent pub
lie sentiment now recognizes the ne
cessity of knowledge in the physic an
which he can gain in no other way,
and in Wisconsin and many other
States, there are statutes providing
means by which bodies for dissection
can be lawfully obtained.
If there ever was any eXcuse for
the crime of body-Snatching, there is
certainly none now: and it would
seem to be in the interest of the
medical profession as we'll as in the
interest of the public for Scrupu!ous
care to lie taken TO prevent laWieSS
outrage upon the feelings of people
who are bowel beneath the saddesS
Of earthly griefs-thc loss by death OF
a dear relative OR friend. No physi-
clan with exalted pride in his profess
sion will wfllfullY lie a party to what
If generally known would tend TO
create in the community a belief that
members of that profession are de-
void of human feeling and ready to
ruthlessly trample upon the tender
sentiment of people in deep affection.
The law providing bodies for dis
section in this State would seem to
be clear and ample. If not, it can he
amended. But every physician with
a fine sense of civic duty and pro-
fessional honor must stoutly stand
for quick compliance with the pro-
visions of the law, and must lie above

To Prevent Burying Alive.

The present talk about the danger
of persons being buried alive has led
a genius of st. Joseph, Mo-, to invent
and patent what he calls a ''grave
alarm" In the coffin is placed q small
electric battery, to which is attached
an alarm, something like the contriv-
ance that is placed in clocks. The
alarm is fastened to the lid of the
coffin. A strap is attached to it and
to the hand of the corpse, so that the
slightest movement will set the alarm
in motion. A wire attached to the
alarm runs up through the grave, up
a pole and to the house of the sexton,
where q battery and bell are attached.
A slight movement in the coffin will
start the alarm and ring the bell in the
sections house, and if a person has
been buried alive the alarm in the
sections house notifies him of the fact
at once. The inventor of the grave
alarm" has also provided an iron pipe
to be used on the graves where the at.
tachment is to be set. The pipe will
furnish enough fresh air to sustain
life, and can be taken up when the
friends of the deceased have becoms
fully satisfied that death has really
taken place. The device has been
adopted for use in the Iowa cemetery,
but so far it has not been put into
operation by any of the eorpses, -
picayune.

Biggest Railroad Station in England.

The enlargement OF Liverpool street
station, London, is proceeding apace,
and when the alterations are quite
completed the station will be the lar
gest in the country-almost the largest
in the word. The station will have
eighteen platforms and twenty lines.
At the narrowest part of the approach
there will be six lines, and with the
new signal arrangements and short
blocks it will be possible to u trains
in or out every two minutes. At pres
ent between 700 and 800 trains are run
in and out daily, but the enlargement
will enable the company to u in and
out 1000 trains q day. All the IRON
work is English. In the roof the glass
is secured by copper, and there is moi
a bit of putty in the whole. Handsome
open arches form a support for the
new roof at the point where it joins
the old building. A feature is the new
parcels office, 1873 feet long by sixty
feet wide, with the roadways, in and
out, each thirty feet wide. Also, a
feature will be the enormous addition
to the circulating space; that is tho
area between the entrance halls and
booking offices and the platform.
Space will be gained in I way by
placing all the lavatories underground.
The station is to be lighted through
out with the electric light. West

tdAS Dublltsb AAbu5Ea,
From all outward appearances the
most important mcn-in thei3 own
estlmation-in the large wholesale
dry-goods establishments of the city
are the..doorkeepers. In this respect
they occupy positions analogous to
their prototypes, the tOor-walkers Of
the retail establishments, says the
New York Herald.
No doubt the positions have their
responsibilities, and what positions
have not in a large business housc,

boy and porter to the head OF the
establishment. Responsibility, there.
lore. is not monopolized by the door
tenders and affords no reason for the
fiue assumption Of superiority which
the actions OF the men imply.
The duty Of the GOorkeepers is
primarily to take the time OF the
sa'esmen and clerks OIL entering aud
leaving the stores, shaking hands
with haYseed customers and bawiing
out the names OF the statesmen they
desire to see in stentoriau tones, In
addition to these they are expected
TO exclude peddlers and heggars and
to see that no one removes small par
GELS of merchandise unless they bear
the proper 'out check Of some u
in authority.
Elt is in the manner In which these
simple duties are performed whiah
make many Of the dOorkcepers ride

were they not so suprcmely absurd.
In a voice, the volume Of which
might do credit to the late Count
Johannes in passion, and with a look
supposed to strike terror to a guilty
soul, one of them stationed in a
Broadway jobbing house oyerawes
little messenger boys and creates in
the minds of some Of the firms
humber customers an impression
that he is a powerful factor in the
finn.
This latter quite possibly is what
the man desires to do, for as a sup
posed power these simpletons seek 10
propitiate Cerberus. They drop al
occasional cigar into his hand and
some time during the winter prob
ably send him a turkey or a hig
pumpkin. With the proprietor OF
the peanut-stand on the corner and

privileged to ply their trade in con
sideration of keeping the sidewalk
clean, he exercises a mild system OF

The vender in return for his Ia
yored glances, supplies him with pea
nuts and apples; the b%cotblack shines
his shoes for nothing. No newSpa-
per boy is permitted to enter the

! sition of doorkeeper in a wholesale

of course, accept these petty fayors
or exert these petty tyrannies, but

Commenting on the difference be-
tween the mo ST plasticty Of snow in
these ATTITUDES and its dry adhesive
ness under the low temperature Of
an arctic winter, Lieutenant SChwatka
says:
The cutting Of a thin portion from
the side Of an arct c now block, in-
stead of giving a sheet of plastic
snow from a snowfall, produces a
shower Of fine powder, exactly the
same as from a large lump Of loaf
sugar. In short, the arctic building
snow block stands in about the same
relation TO those we would make
here, as the brick just from the mould,
end beiour it is dried, bears to the
same object when burnt in the k In
and ready for use. The arctic snow
blocks ring like a w%ell-burnt brick;
and this is especially noticeable dur
ing intensly cold weather, when l
have heard a snow clock, as + was
struck with a knife, give forth a clear,
metallic, musical sound, MT uni ke

of Suspended steel with the hand, ur

it must not be inferred that tbs dry,
compact snow has any Of the clarac-
teristics of the ice above it. Dit is not
only much lighter than ice, but l be-
lieye, lighter than the plaSt snow
we have, certainly not so dense as
