THE American Humane education
society is urging upon the various
states of the union the passage Of
such laws as will authorize careful
inspection Of the dead before burial.
Mr.. George T. Angel, the head of the
humane society, is an enthusiastic ad-
vocate of any plan that will result in
such an inspection Of the supposed
dead as will determine beyond all
doubt whether burial ought to take
place or not In his advocacy he is
urged by something more than the
ordinary feelings of an observer.
His own father had been pronounced
dead by a physician, and but for the
fortunate discovery of some sign Of
life would have been buried alive. It
would seem as II every humane in
stinct of a legislator ought to prompt
a hearty cooperation with the Angel
society in its laudable purposes.

Washington, Feb. 28-Mrs. Cleveland

leaked out If Mrs. Cleveland had not
appeared at one Of the meetings wear

Then her signature at the end Of the

M. CAMILLE FLAMMARIoN, poses as
. distinguished savant and an as
tronomer Of high rank. He is now
engaged in an effort to persuade the
public that the earth is rapidly cool
ing off, and that the time is not far
distant when it will be veritable
polar iceberg. In spite of all that
M. Flammarion says it is perfectly
safe for us to go on as we are doing
without making any long prepara-
tions for the advent OF the ice age.
The earth is not cooling off rapidly,
but there is strong temptation to
ask romancing scientists in the ex-
pressive slang of to-day, to "come

sible.

Saginaw, Mich, Feb. 2S.-Charles T.
Beatty, state president Of the American
Protective association, and national
secretary, is in the city completing ar
rangements for a big convention to lie
held March 12, 13 and IA. The prime
object of the convention is for the con-

what is to be known as the Independ-
ent American party.
Mr.. Beatty says: eve feel ourselves
strong enough now to form party.
We number over 100000 men in Michi-
gan and this large membership will be
represented by about 30O delegates.
The question of forming party will
then be discussed and decided upon.
We cannot tell what the platform of
the party will be until 1t Is adopted.
We know we would restrict emigra-
ton, but beyond that the political
complexion of the convention will de-
eide"

The Movement Was Killed by . House
Committee.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2S.-The fees and
salaries bill is killed. The conference
committee appointed to adjust the DIFF
ferences between the two bills re-
garding the measures met this morning
and agreed to disagree.
The conferrees were Senators Tay-
lor and Sterne and Representatives
Ballinger, Cox and Hilton.
In the House to-day the joint resolu-
ton to resubmit the prohibitory amend
ment was killed by the unfavorable re-
port from the committee on temper
ance. The committee counted the sig
natures on the petitions for and against

structing any crossing for more than
ten minutes, except in case of accident,

In the Senate to-day not much was
done except to fight over $4,000 ap-
preparation for a model kitchen for the
department of domestic economy at the
Agricultural college. The matter was
finally referred to a conference COM
mittee.

would surely visit the camp if they
only mentioned the name. Promising
to be discreet, they went down to ex-
anime the pool, and found the whole
place actually trampled down by wild
boars, with few tiger footprints.
Here they rested for the night and
next day proceeded on their journey.
If the footprints around the pool led
them to believe their guides reports
of wild animals they were now per-
fectly convinced. for on either side of
the path they oaw the destruction
worked by wild elephants. A little
further on they came to spot where
the mammoths had rested for the
night. That evening they found that
one OF the carriers who had charge OF
the provisions had taken to his heels.
As they had no cooking utensils they
were compelled to cook their rice in a
tobacco tin, and along with a steak of
civet cat (Meo-pa) managed to make
a dinner.
At this spot the guide informed
them it was impossible to go on unless
they walked along the stream bare
footed. After walking in this manner
for about five hours they came to the
falls. Here they had to climb up
rocks thirty to forty feet high by
means of the roots of trees growing
through the assures, the guide point
ing them out places where gold had
been found. After climbing up higher
they came to the junction Of two
streams, and the guide now told them
that he did not know the road further
up and that he was afraid One OF
the party got dysentery here. and
they then determined to hurry back.
as they had only rice with
them and not even a bamboo to cook
it in. This excursion can only be
done in the months OF January, Feb
ruary and March. 1t would be
good opportunity for a sportsman who
desired to combine business with
pleasure. Ponies and pack animals
could not possibly go; the only way o.
transport would be by carriers. and it
would be very hard to obtain more
than two or three men, as the people
are SO superstitious.

IT is claimed that the gulf stream
has been detected 100 miles out OF its
course, and that this fact is responsi-
BILE for the loss of at least two vessels.
It was Sidney Smith who said that he
had once heard a man speak disre-
spectfully Of the equator. So far,
the gulf stream has escaped criticism,
but in view of the vagaries in which
it is indulging it is likely to be added
to the many other things in the uni

grumbling.

MANY farmers will begin this year
to experiment with other than their
ordinary crops and endeavor to prac-
tice with potatoes, turnips, onions,
carrots, beats, artichokes and the like,
with view to devoting more time
and land to them when they have
learned how, and know the best
methods. The comparatively long
keeping, non-perishable crops will be
field crops presently and each and all
available for all kinds of stock, as
we'll as for man himself.

TEMPERING OF ALUMINIUM.
A Canadian Blacksmith Makes 1t Hard Al
Iron.

Iron.
Quebec, Feb. 2S.-The successful
tempering of aluminium so as to give
1t the consistency of iron is the triumph
Of F. Allard, the Lewis blacksmith,
whose re-discovery of the lost Egyptian
art of hardening copper startled the
mechanical world three or four years
ago. He has made and hardened a
canon, which has just been tested in
the presence of Colonel Spence, the
American consul here, and a number
of others with success. The cannon is
% inches long and in diameter, the
metal of the gun outside the bore being
only a quarter of an inch thick. A
charge consisting of pound Of pow
der was fired out of this without any
appreciable effect upon 1t. A new and
scientific trial of the cannon has been
ordered by the Canadian military au-
thor;ties and the United States consul.
Allard has been asked to manufacture
as soon as possible a canon IL feet
