CREMATION IN PARIS.

The Number of deliberations Growing
from Year to Year.
The advocates in this country of Gre
mating dead bodies will be somewhat
encouraged by the reports that come
from Paris of the number of incinera-
lions that took place there during the
first four months of 1895. The number
of incinerations that occur, either in
accordance with previous request of
the person whose body is disposed of
or at the instance of the representa-
tives, increases every year with great
regularity, though not rapidly. Accord
ing to the statistics published by the
project of police, the number of Gre
nations that took place at the Pere
Lachaise cemetery from August, 1889,
to the end of April, 1895, were as fol-
lows: 1889, 40; 1890, 121; 1891, 1874; 1892,
159; 1893, 1s9; 1894. 216, and 1895 flour
months), rs.
The furnace would consequently
often be idle were it not for the remains
from the hospitals, which amount to
from 1000 to $500 bodies per annum.
The apparatus employed is that of
MN. Toisoul and Fradet and works by
means of gas with a recuperator. In
cinerations are accomplished in an
hour or, at most, an hour and quarter,
and the cost of the combustible never
exceeds three francs per operation.
Another apparatus, invented by M.
Fichet. has recently been inaugurated.
The difference between the two inven-
lions lies chiefly in the application of
oxide of carbon. In the continuance
devised by NJ. Fichet the body is con-
sumed by hot air alone and does not
come into contact with gases. Accord
ing to this method, incineration takes
place little more rapidly than in the
Toisoul furnace, but the expense is
greater by nearly quarter as much

FRUIT AS FOOD.
The Beneficial Properties OF Grapes
Oranges and Plums

The Beneficial Properties OF Grapes,
Oranges and Plums.
Very few people are aware of the
medicinal qualities of grapes; but these
they possess. The pulp is nutritious
and the juice contains sugar, fannie
acid, bitartrate of potassium, tartrate
of calcium, common salt and sulphate
of potassium.
Without doubt, the woman who cul-
tivates the habit of eating great deal
of fruit, is the gamer in health and APP
pearance.
The grapefruit, or shaddock, so called
from it's discoverer, Lieut.. Shaddocll,
or to mention it's soft Chinese name,
pumelo, is highly priced by those who
live in malarial localities. 1t is charm
ing rival to quinine and to boneset, and
is driving them from the field. She who
eats her grapefruit with a spoon from
the natural cup, or relishes it served as
a salad may gladden. her heart with the
reflection that she is not only pleasing
her palate, but benefting her health.
Like oranges and lemons, the grape
fruit has great medicinal virtues. If
you are OF bilious temperament, eat
grapefruit, if fever threatens, eat
grapefruit, but, in this latter case, do
so only at the advice of physician, as
there may be certain tendencies which
the grapefruit would only aggravate.
The complaint is often made that this
fruit is extremely bitter and unpleas-
ant; it is only the white inner rind
which is so, and this should always be
carefully removed. Detroit Free

dynamo; second, the dynamo, which
furnishes the electric current to the
motor, which is attached to the pillow,
making the third piece of machinery.
The power is transmitted to the motor
by two copper wires or cables, which,
being mounted on cable carriages, fol-
low the pillow about. But there is yet
another thing necessary, and that is the
application of the power of the motor
to the pillow itself. This is accomplished
by a chain stretched across the field
on a line with the furrow, and held
taut by triple ground anchors. The
anchor shaft of the motor sets in motion
a double spur wheel, which, in turn,
drives pinioned shaft, which grips
the chain, and so pulls the pillow along.
On reaching the end of the cham the
plow is tilted to the other side, and the
simple reversal of the current sets the
pillow in motion in the opposite direc-
ton. In returning it deposits the chain
sideways ready for the next row of fur
rows. A laborer, by turning a lever,
draws up the three ground anchors,
and, by this simple action, sets the trav-
cling wheels affixed to the anchor aXles
in motion, so that the anchors are cas-
ily moved to the next furrow.
The pillow is fitted with two, three
or four shares. according 10 the scale
of husbandry in which it is used. Farm
ing on large scale requires a four
share pillow and heavier machinery.
Phe first cost of an electric pillow,
with four shares, is as follows: Cost of
stationary steam engine complete, 40
to As horsepower, $1,000; dynamo ma
chine, including foundations and driv-
ing belts, to produce $4,000 watts per
hour, 81 100; electric conduits, complete,
1.S6 miles in length, S1,190; motor and
blowing gear, 50, O6O; chain and anchors.
$40; total cost of an electric pillow,
$7,.44.
The amount of work that can be done
with a four-share pillow in a day of ten
hours is given as four square hectares,
little less that nine acres. To work
the machine requires one engineer, one
driver, one man to attend the chain
and anchors, and two boys to attend
the cable carriages.
It will be seen from the above that
electricity in blowing is not likely to
become popular in this country. The
first cost of the machinery alone would
be prohibitory.

Habita Of Marine Fish.

A singular case of commensalism
diving on or with another) has just
been made known by Mr.. Gardeau de
Kerville. 1t concerns the young of the
marine fishes called false mackerel,
which are almost always found in COM
pany with the large medusae, known
as rhizostomes. These young fishes
swim parallel with the long axis of the
jellyfish and in the same direction as
the latter. They remain above, beneath
and behind the animal. 1t frequently
happens that some of them introduce
themselves into the cavities of the jelly
fish and are then visible from the ex-
terror, owing to the transparency OF
the host Sometimes the school of
fishes wanders few yards away from
the medusae, but at the least alarm iIr-
mediately returns with great rapidity
to occupy its former position.-Cincin-

is being manufactured for the trade.
The reflector surrounding the arc opens
upward instead of downward, and the
mechanism for feeding the carbon pen
ell as it consumes is arranged below in
stead of above the arc. The direction
of the current is reversed, too, so as to
make the lower carbon the positive pole.
Even without reflector over it, the or
binary arc lamp throws more light
downward than upward, because the
extremity of the upper carbon at the
gap is more luminous than that of the
lower one. But by causing the current
to flow in the opposite direction the
lower tip is made to glow more intense
ly, and hence to increase the proportion
of the total radiance thrown upward

report to the state department upon the
working of electric plows, which are
