A NEW-MADE GRAVE
Puzzles the Officers and Wiseacres-An Old Darkeys Explanation of the Req
 son Ii Was Dug.

At an early hour yesterday morning Chief Mcdonald was notified that an ap- parently newly made grave was discov- cred in the northwestern part of the city, near Cutcliff's store, where the dummy line crosses the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad. The parties stated that the grave had been dug and reflled during the night. and that the matter looked extremely suspicious.
 Chief Mcdonald, accompanied by Off, cer Nix, immediately proceeded to the place and found what appeared to be a newly filled grave, about Az feet long and the regulation width. Chief Nc Donald ordered shovels and spades, and with bated breath the large crowd which had gathered at the scene watched the exhumation of what was thought to be the corpse of some child.
 After a depth of feet the shovelS struck bottom, and found nothing but lot of rocks and some strings, much to the disappointment of the morbid watchers.
 Investigation by the chief of police failed to throw any light on the subject, and the cause of the digging out and fill- ing in of this pit could only be surmised.
 Late in the afternoon an Age-Herald reporter strolled out in the direction of the scene, and, while inquring of an old darkey the exact location, casually asked the old man If he had any idea what the hole was dug for and the rocks placed therein. The old man, who was about 65 years of age, looked slightly askance at the reporter and, after scratching his woody head and apparently debating the matter, finally said:
 Vas, sah,I kin toF you what dat means-yas, sah, I kin!
 On being coaxed and urged the old man said: "We don't in genral like ter talk bout it, but you know, boss, dat de Bible say, 'Grabe whar is dy victry, death whar am dy sting?' Well, you see yistiddy death had it's sting, but don't yer see it can't be said, 'Grabe whar is dy vict'ry,' casen de grabe ain't got no vict'ry, casen dey didn't bury dem two men what dey hung, but took 'em to de funeral shop an I hearn tell dat de doc tors gwine ter cut 'em up; so yer see de debbil's gwine 'roun 1aughin' at de grabe an maxim de grabe mad, an when de grabe gifts mad it gifts ter yawn- in and when it gifts ter yawnin' it got ter be filled, so we jest digs de grabe an puts some stones and things in dar, and when de debbil comes 'roun' and gifts to worrying de grabe it pints out de place whar de hole is dug, an dar shore huff is de grabe."
 Continuing, the old negro said shak- ing his head dolefully: "I tole yer, boss, dey shore ought ter bury dem two men, casen if dey don't an dem rocks is found out somebody is shore got to fill de grabe in dem mems place..

or mineral which exactly answers the re- quircments for a standard of measure or weight that shall be- as nearly as possible unalterable.
 The best substance yet produced for this purpose is an alloy of 90per cent of plat mum, with 10 per cent of iridium. This is called iridio-platinum, and it is the sub stance of which the new metric standards prepared by the international committee of weights and measures arc composed.
 It is hard, it is less affected by heat than any pure metal, it is practically nonoxidiz- able, or not subject to rust and it can be finely engraved In fact, tho lines on the standard meters are hardly visible to the naked eye, yet they are smooth, even, sharp and accurate.
 If our civilization should ever be lost, and relics of it should be discovered in some brighter age in the remote future, there Is nothing which would bear higher testimony to it's character than these stand ard measures Of iridio-platinum, for tho production and preservation of which the science of our day has done it's very best.-- Youths Companion.

Dean stanley.s Bad Handwriting.

Dean Stanley's bad handwriting is matter of common notoriety, and havo often been asked if 1t was true that the printers refused to set it up. The fact is, that when tho "copy'' for the History of tho Jewish Church" was sent in the print CTS reported that they would have to charge a special rate for composition, as no man could set up such manuscript on the ordinary terms. We accordingly had the work copied out by skillful amanuensis before it was set in type as this proved to be the least expensive way of meeting the difficulty.
 Once he wrote to my father letter on an important matter, but there were some passages in it which, in spite of every ef- fort, proved undcciphcrable. My father was consequently compelled to underline these sentences and to return the letter, with 0 request that they might bo rcwrit- ten. In duo course the dean replied, "If you cannot read my writing I am sure I cannot do so, but think I meant to say'' so and so, and tho sentence was rewritten in form scarcely moro legible than be. fore.-John Murray in Good Words.

AceryIeno Will Greatly Improve the Light.
 tug Power of Coal Gas.


 Most persons have at times noticed not offensive but peculiarly pungcnt odo, given of from gas stoves in which from insufficient air supply the combustion is more or less imperfect. This is acetylene, C2H2, a poisonous gas especially fatal to vegetable lifc. It has hitherto been the practice to estimate the higher hydrocar- bons of coal gus in terms of olefiant gas ol .ethylonc, C2H4, but Professor Vivian I.ewes has shown that in the flame they are all resolved into acctylenc, and that, having tho highest possible percentage o1 carbon, it is the most powerful of illumi. nants.
 Till recently its preparation in the pure state has been difficult and costly, but since it has been found that calcio carbide when sleked evolved this gas at the rate oi over five cubic feet per pound, and that by heating together chalk and carbon of any kind in tho electric furnace the carbide is produced at n cast of about $20 per ton, it is proposed to employ acetylene for en riching poor gas either at the works or in the house of the consumer or to burn it in specially constructed lamps. If its poison ous character be understood, its strong, penetrating odor will be sufficient safe guard.
 The cost of acetylene would probably be about $1. 70 per l 1000 cubic feet, but its Il. luminating power is 240 candles, or 1e times greater than the gas usually supplied at present.-London Lancet.
