A British army surgeon Is authority
for the statement that the cause of
death is clearly shown in the express
sion of a face Of corpse on the field

bullets usually have pain of an intense
nature clearly depicted.
There is decrease in the consump-
ton of horseflesh in Germany, and it is
considered sign of growing prosperity
among the lower classes. Augsburg,
Stuttgart and Hamburg also were ex-
ceptions. Still the consumption of

France, have sent out a circular calling
the attention of chambers Of COM
merce and merchants generally in va
rious ports of the world to the superior
ships which Calais possesses in conse-
qusnce of the recent harbor and dock
improvements that have been made
there. Vessels drawing thirty feet of
water can now find water at the docks
at any tide, and in loading or discharg-
ing they can do so directly into the cars

Europe. The port charges are said to

French ports or the seaboard cities of
Belgium or Holland; hence, with the
inducements held out, the people of
Calais believe that they should have a
large share in the commercial devel-

An enterprising citizen of Columbus,
Georgia, has organized an electric light
and power company which is to invest
$500, 900 in it's plant for the development
of electric power from the falls of the
Chattachoochee. Already 1900 horse
power has been developed and this will
be raised to 1000 horse power. The
power now obtained from the falls,
about mile from the centre of the
city, Is used to run street cars, to sup
ply electric arc lights, to furnish pow

will soon be prepared to supply also all
the incandescent lights that will be
needed in Columbus. I'm the rushing

err and wealth the value of which it

fortunate also in having citizens who
have the means and inclination to de-
velop this great resource"
