TURNED TO STONE
workmen in q Cemetery Exhume
a Fortified Body.
The Medical Profession Of Philadelphia
Greatly Interested in the Case
Both Body and Coffin Very
Well Preserved.

A petrifed body, which is said to be
the first specimen ever found in that
section Of the country, was eXhumed
recently by workmen engaged in re-
moving the bodies from the old Mach
belah cemetery, at Tenth and Washing
ton avenues, Philadelphia. The body,
which is that of a man, is in perfect
state OF preservation. The medical
profession of the city is already great
" interested in the discovery, and SUI
perintendent Franklin, of the cemetery,
is overrun with applications to view it.
The body was discovered by a gang
of men working in the southeast Sec
ton of the cemetery, and its associa-
lions are such As to warrant excite
ment in the scientific world. Although
four bodies were taken from the same
grave, two were totally decayed, the
third was partially preserved, while
She fourth was in state OF perfect
preservation.
The booy was fncased in an old-fash-
sonsd walnut coffin, which was also
well preserved When the lid was re-
moved the workmen were surprised TO
find the occupant fully preserved and
having the appearance of a person but
recently inferred.
Its petIi6ed body" said one of the
wprkmen. superintendent Franklin
was notified and ordered the body
placed in the vault
The body seemed to be that of man
about forty or forty-five years old. APP
paTently he was a Frenchman, and as
near as could be Appropriated he had
been in the grave about fifty years.
There were no visible signs of decompo-
sition, the body appearing to be pre-
served in every part. One of the work
men, in the presence Of several specta-
tors, knocked ON the dead mans breast
and there was given out sound such
as is produced by blow on a piece OF
stone.
The body was enveloped in a white
merino shroud, while the hands were
encased in white cotton gloves. Aside
from the dirt spots caused by the earth
falling ON it when the coffin was opened,

BRICK DUST MORTAR.

Hydraulic Cement.

Said to BE an Excellent Substitute fol-
Hydraulic Cement.
The use of brick dust mortar as a
substitute for hydraulic cement, where
the latter cannot be obtained, is now
recommended, the Southern Architect
says, on the best engineering author
ity, experiments made with mixtures
OF brick dust and quicklime showing
that blocks of ene-half inch in thick
ness after immersion in water for four
months, bore without crushing, crum-
bling, or splitting, a pressure of f,5G0
pounds per square inch. 1t is consid-
cred, too. that the addition of even as
small q proportion as one-tenth as
much brick dust as sand to ordinary
inortars is preventive of the disintsgra-
ton so often chara cterizing .nortars
used in the masonry OF public works
The use OF brick dust mixed with lime
end sand is said to be generally and
successfully practiced In the Spanish
dominions. and is stated to be in all re-
spects superior TO the best Rosendal
hydraulic cement in the construction
OF culverts, drains, tanks, or cisterns,
and even roofs, whether for setting fat
tiles or for making the usual tropical
fat roof. The proportions used there
in the manufacture are, approximately,
one of brick dust. one of lime and two
of sand. mixed together dry and tenn

"A Citizen Who Was Robbed Three Times
in Ono Night.
George Andrews, Chicago's expert
swordsman and cayalryman and so
cial swell, has made up his mind that
he is both unfortunate and unsophisti-
Gated. He assisted recently at an anna
teur circus given by the four hundred.
But when he started home his troubles
began. After leaving the cable car he
had to walk five blocks, and he found
the journey decidedly eventful. First
he encountered the barrel of a revolver
held in close proximity to his nose.

case MISUNDERSTANDING fellow, and
Mr.. Andrews made haste to obey the

little whiffet along with them, the dog
being of inquisitive mood.
George and Sam hadn't gone more
than a mile on their way, the dog run
ming on ahead and exploring every
nook and corner, when they heard the
dog barking furiously. Before the men
reached the spot his barking suddenly
changed to sharp. short yelps that indl-

had promptly resented by rushing out

been foolish enough 10 think he could
get away with his bear by himself. The
tbear hadn't waited to give the dog OPP
b,ortunity to satisfy his ambition, but
had taken him up IN his embrace and
WAS trying TO compress him into re-
semblance of a fiapjack.
Fortunately for the dog he was too
small TO permit the bear to get the
squeeze on him, and when the two men
came up they-saw the unusual sight OF a
bear holding a dog to its breast, and
gazing down at him in evident enjoy

The dog was a great favorite of his
master. and when Sam Bail saw his

well known that when light falls upon
a. substance which does not reflect all

turned into heat. OF course lusterless

alterations of temperature. The heat
received expands both the particles OF
carbon and the air in the interstices;
and the cooling contracts them. This
compression and rarefaction have been
found adequate to excite sound vibra-
tons in the adjacent air In the glass

Giving the Yankees a Chance

States to get the government into little
troubles, says the Washington Star. II

cific,' said he, back in 1886, and we
touched at a great many places. 1t seems
to me that there was not an island in
that great ocean where there was not
some yankee who had got us into trou-
BILE with the natives, and we were con-
stantly called upon to straighten them
out and settle the difficulties. Finally we
reached one of the Fiji islands, and I
said to the captain that l guessed none
of them had got down here. and we would
find that there was nothing to fix up.
But we had hardly got anchored when
a fellow came alongside in a canoe. He
was blue as indigOo, having been tat
tooed all over. 'Haow dye deu, he
called out. with nasal twang that there
was no installing. Well, said to the
captain, there is no getting away from
them. Here he is And. do you know,
that fellow was in trouble. too. He had
married into the royal family, and was
trying to get control of the govern
ment, and he wanted us to help him.
