00O, as Chinese history runs into such
cons that a variation of 5000 years Is
but trifiing discrepancy. One Of the
big officials expired in fit just after
having ordered the slaughter Of 33, 600
rebel prisoners, and his dying groans
were accompanied by the squeaking Of
some things they call musical instru-

Still it was interesting, as showing
what human nature can run down to.

Inkeresting Bsne Grafting Operatioa Hor-
formed In Philsdelphis.
An extraordinary bone grating opera
tion was performed at the Hahnemann
hospital, Philadelphia, recently. Surgeons
substituted portion OF a sleeps leg for .
decayed bone in the leg Of Boyd Folwell,
15 years old. Physicians say that their
patient Is doing we'll.
The boy was placed under ether, and
the deoayed part of the bone Of the right
leg for seven inches above the ankle Joint
WAS cut away. The sheep in the mean
time had been chloroformed, and the sur
geons cut away portion of It's fore leg to
the exact measurement Of the part requir-
ed for the boys ankle. The moment the
live bone was taken from the sheep IL was
fitted In the gap, and the joints connect
ing IL with the boys bone were covered
with periosteum from the sleeps bone In
order to afford proper nourishment.
The operation was carried Onunder strict
antiseptic treatment, and as soon as the
sheep had served its purpose Its throat was
cut. Only few such operations have been
successfully carried out. The earlier meth
cd Of employing pulverizcd animal bone,
decalcified, was sImost always nnsuccess-
full. II the result OF the operation comes
up to the expectation of tho surgeons, Fol

"A WALKING TIMEPIECB.


"A Man Who Can Tell the Time without
the Aid Of . Watch.
Andrew Henderson, a we'll known resi-
dent of GAINESVILLE, O., 60 years old, enjoys
the unique and interesting distinction Of
being awalking timepieoe.
He ,oan, whenever and wherever ap-
preached, tell without moments hesita-
ton the time of day, and his answer will
not vary from the exact time, Of day five
minutes. This remarkable gift has at
tracted attention all over the. country, but
the gift remains inexplicable and is simply
q mental phenomenon. That 1t Is simply
gift and does not arise from calculations
of a highly cultivated mind rs evidenced
by the fact that Henderson was born and
reared on a kentucky plantation and has
not received even the semblanee of an edu-
cation.
The fact that he first possessed this pc
culiar talent became known to Henderson
when he was 81 years old and in a man
ner wholly accidental. When walking
along the highway and desiring to know
the time of day, the exact time would
come to him, and by carrying watch and
making thorough test he discovered that
he could dispense with timepiece, as the
exact time would flash through his mind
like an electric spark when he desired it.
He never utilized the peculiar gift In q
manner to render 1t remunerative, and un-
til recently was janitor and watchman in
a dry goods store. When accosted by some
inquisitive individual, anxious to test the
ability of the colored man to give the time
OF day, Henderson will put his hand to
his ear and at once give an answer that
will not vary from that indicated by q well
regulated Amepieoe. Enquir-

BUSINESS IMPROVING

The official sheets show that in the last
week, ending Dec. Z. there were received
and forwarded at Indianapolis 1859 loaded
cars. an increase OF Los loaded cars, as
compared with the week ending Nov. %.
and, were cars more plenty, more favor

winter month the movement is highly salts

not heavy as in November, less grain
going forward and but little cotton. but
the shipments OF export freights. in the

any time the present year, and the ship
ments OF live stock and dressed meats were
never before so heavy. The light moves
rnent OF grain is accounted for BY farmers
h0lding back their grain for better prices
1t is very seldom that the volume Of
freights moving east and west is so evenly
divided. The Panhandle. for instance, last
week brought in $40 and forwarded east
97l loaded ears The east-bound movement
however, is made up OF a higher class or
freights than is the west-bound, so large a
per cent. being made up OF iron structural
work, railway supplies, anthracite coal and
coke, the Panhandle bringing In forty TO
fifty a day OF coal and coke; and over
the other lines there is considerable tom
mage coming west, largely lot points west
OF Indianapolis. Both east and west-bound
through business is above the December
average. taken as a whole. With north
and-south lines through business is light,
but all doing good local business,
and, in fact, with east-and-west lines local
business Is considerably in excess Of the
corresponding period last year. Shipments
OF holiday goods locally are now quite an
item. More coal mined in Indiana, Ohio
and Illinois is being handled than in any
fall of the last five years. Many of the local
manufacturers are now using coal. The
movement OF live stock is the heaviest i'm
the history OF Indianapolis lines. This re-
mark applies TO both local and through
business. and ii is admitted on all sides
that not in many years have tariff rates
been so strictly adhered to. Below is given
the car movement for the week ending
Dec. Z, and for the corresponding weeks OF
1904 and 1902.

was not less than A.20s.553 During the
same year there were eight lives lost
through fires in Paris, against about twenty
in New York. This figure is not given def
nitely, because 1t is not included In the
statistics OF the New York fire department
for 1894. The tenement house committees
report shows that fifteen were killed and
seventy-two injured in tenement houses
alone in the year ending June 30, 1894. and
during the eight months of the committees
existence Qrom May to December, inclu-
sive) sixteen were killed in tenemen. houses
The total cost of the Partisan fire brigade
for 1894 was S52i.129 francs, 2,60S6io), while
New Horks department cost the city the
tremendous sum of s2.26 1920, and it is
probably true that there has been less ex-
travagance i'm the fire department of New
York than there has been in most Of the
city enterprises. The cost of the depart
ment is great because the city needs an or
ganization fitted to battle with an extraor-
binary condition.
The difference I'm the manner of construc-
ton of buildings in Paris and in New
York Is responsible for the difference in
the two cities losses by fire and i'm the
cost of their fire departments. In Paris,
while the buildings are not "freproof' I'm
the American acceptation of the term, they
are of such solid and substantial construc-
ton that they are slow TO catch fire and

every American city-is built SO himsily that
fires start easily, and f1nd infammable mat
ter so ready 10 feed upon that they spread
with rapidity that is sometimes almost In
conceivable.
Careful investigation by the tenement
house committee showed that at present
the cost of constructing a fire-proof build
ing is only about 10 per cent. greater than
the cost of building a structure of the old
infammable style, and that the added solid
ity of the better form of construction so
decreases the cost OF repairs and future
maintenance that this difference is still
further lessened.
Jf New York were 80 built that she lost as
little by fire in the course of each year as
does Paris, and paid as little for protection

would suggest snch an operation would not
unwisely be called mad. but il is not use

himself survived as a prisoner, and the fol-

In April he landed at Morlaix, and, pro-

ter asking for an opportunity to plead his
cause before the Emperor. What the reply
was Is not known, but on the 22l he was
found dead in his room, stabbed in several
places, the knife embedded in the last
wound: The reproaches Napoleon had
heaped upon him must have been in the
main undeserve1. for he was never de-
graded. but they broke his spirit, and he
doubtless committed suicide.
IL was long believed that he had been
captain of the Btfcentaure. lest he should
make disclosures disgraceful to the fleet and

manded the English ship in which Georges
Cadoudal the Chouan and other Bourbon
conspirators had landed at Bivlle, had been
taken prisoner. In October, 1896 he, like
Pichegru. was found dead In his cell. The
circumstances were equally theatrical and
damning- He was lying with his throat cut,
and near at hand was a razor and a COPY
OF the Moniteur containing the news OF
Tim. The Parisians murmured under their
breath that this Bonaparte indeed I'M

hands. Later, however. the most convincing
testimony proved Magendie's innocence, and
there is little evidence that Fouche or any
OF his-agents were concerned in the deaths
