Mr.. Gladstone's study at Hawarden Cas-
tie is rather curiously arranged. The walls
are covered with books, and volumes are
also massed in large shelves jutting out
from the walls into the room. Between
each partition of books there is room to
walk; thus the saving of space in arrang,
ing the library in this manner is enormous.
The stock of books, perhaps, exceeds 10 1000
volumes, and Notwithstanding this large
number Mr.. Gladstone has little difficulty
in placing his hand upon any volume that
he may require. There are three writing.
desks in the room; one is chiefly reserved
for correspondence of a political nature, q,
another is used by Mrs. Gladstone. Lch-

facing the castle present a picturesque APP
pearance, while the heavily wooded grounds
beyond stand out in bold relief and form a
massive green BACKGROUND.

x Rays Will Infallibly Indicate Life
or Death.
From the New York Journal.
At last what seems an infallible Indication
of death has been discovered. Scores of
people have horror of being buried alive,
and there have been many attempts made
to discover some test aside from time that
will assure the friends that death has really
occurred. and that the burial may safely
proceed. Heretofore none Of these tests has
been absolute, and each has failed signally
DR.. c. L. Barnes, Chicago physician, has
recently been experimenting with X rays,
and he now announces that they will de-
termine positively whether real death has
occurred or whether the patient is in a
trance. Dr. Barnes made a shadowgraph
of his own hand, and on the same plate laid
the dissected hand of cadaver. When the
plate was developed, after being exposed to
the mysterious rays for some time. the diff
ference in the two photographs was notice.
able The dead flesh offered more resis ance
to the penetration of the rays than the ltv-
ing, and a glance would determine which
was the hand of the corpse. Other expert
ments which he made confirmed his opin-
ion. The Horoscope is even better than the
shadowgraph as a means of determining
whether life Is present or not.
1t seems strange that there should be no
acc q ate way of determining when a man is
uedu, Dut SuCn IS really TIE case. The abb
sence of the circulation of the blood is a
fairly good test, butsi there are instances
of persons having recovered after the heart
had ceased to beat-or. at least, beat so
weakly that 1t was not perseptible either in
the breast or at the pulse!1 Muscular con-
traction cannot be relied GA. as dead people
will twitch when an electric battery is ap-
piled to them. Rigori morris cannot be re-
lied on. for that is often present in the case
of cataleptics. The gradusi cooling of the
body has long been regarded by physicians
as an accurate test, but IT. is now known
that such condition may follow the col
lapse which accompanies partial drowning.
The contraction of the muscles is an ac-
compartment of certain diseases, and so is
the discoloration of the skin which is notice.
able after death. i
DIR. Barnes is a well-known physician. and
his discovery is regarded as one of vast i'm
portance. He has written several books ON
dissection, embalming and kindred subjects
and has been experimenting with the x rays

known.

lighted by electricity. They are driven
this way and that, that they form O
labyrinth like the avenues in the Catacombs
of Rome. You could lose yourself in this
mine. 1t connects with the great Henrietta
mine, and You might wander about from
tunnel to tunnel without finding your way
TO the shaft.
This is a wet mine, and IT takes an
enormous amount Of money to wall 1T with
timberS. Many such mines contain forests
of great logs. and It is estimated that there
is more than 100000 worth of lumber
and timber used in the mines of Leadvilie
alone. Each of these tunnels is rooted and
walled with big pine logs. and the slopes. or
caves. cut away from the tunnels in order
to get the silver out. have to be almost filled
with timbers, for fear their sides may cave
in. No one who has not gone through a
great mine can appreciate the amount of
water which flows into It, In the bottom of
the Maid of Erin streams of ice-cold water
flow thorugh the tunnels like so many
mountain brooks.
Overhead are pipes for steam and
for compressed air to run the drills. There
is railroad track in each tunnel and boards
upon which you can walk to keep out of the
stream. The water Is taken out of the mine
by enormous steam pumps. Nine hundred
feet below the surface Of the ground l found

TunnelinE for Ore.
They do not hesitate to spend a great deal
to bring about results. 1 visited a tunnel
the other day which was being driven into
the side of a mountain, in order to strike the
gold veins which are supposed to lie there.
Every foot of the tunnel would cost at
least $50, and it was to be more than a mile
in length. The company expected to spend
more than 100000 in making the tunnel.
and they were drilling through the rock by
steam, forcing the drills into the granite
by means of compressed air. In company
with one of the men / entered the tunnel.
We each carried a candle but we had to
shield Ii with our hands, for the water
came down in torrents from the roof of the
tunnel. and was carried off In q drain or
box-like ditch, which ran under the car
track. We waded along the track for a
distance OF nearly half a mile before we
came to the end Of the excavation. Here
the men were blasting down the rock by
