Certincates of Death.

Who can tell how many persons are
buried alive every year? How many
cases of suspended animation are there
on record, and how many horrors that
are never known save by accident, when
once in while some grave is opened
and discoveries are made that shock
whole communities. There is not, up to
date, any certain test for death, al.
though there have been experiments and
trials innumerable. After exhausting
all Of the resources of science, medical
experts have arrived at the conclusion
that the only certain test of death is the
condition of the body. Until there are
unmistakable signs Of decay, death is
by no means foregone conclusion. The
sense of smell is the very best possible
gnide in such matters. Even the eyes
are not to be trusted, as there are cases
tin record where bodies have become al
most black and yet life was not extinct.
In one instance burial was delayed
by unavoidable circumstances until the
friends became alarmed by the colo
which they mistook for modification.
and, fearing some outbreak of disease
they sent for disinfectants and sanitary
experts Before they arrived, however
there was a marked change in the ap
pearance of the body. From purplish
hue like bad bruise it gradually be-.
came lighter and assumed a lifelikt.
color, and within few hours their
were evidences of returning animation
Although several physicians had be,n
In attendance and the person was pr-
nounced dead the result proved the un-

an apparently deliberate reduction in
the quality of ashes. During the year
preceding the receipt Of the i've sam
pies above described, the Canada ashes
sent to the station for analysis were OF
good quality. One sample is of inter-
est because, though very moist, It yet
contains a high percentage Of potash.
The ashes had most probably been ex-
posed to rain, instead of having been
leached and afterward partially dried.
Three samples of domestic ashes are
characterized by being very dry. and
one was probably taken soon after the
ashes were removed from the stove.
Average Canada ashes contain about II
per cent of moisture. which renders
them as damp as the average chemical
fertilizer. Buyers of ashes should
therefore look with suspicion on lots
that appear excessively moist, because
in such cases the potash is seldom
equal to the proportion in average
ashes. The refuse ashes were samples
from burned rubbish, principally waste
paper and refuse lumber. The analyti-
cal results speak for themselves. Ashes
from paper are as valueless as those
from coal because the soluble mineral
matter has been leached out of the pa
per stock during the process of paper
making.

Over the entrance to the great build
ing devoted to transportation at the
Worlds Fair was written these words
from Lord Bacon: There are three
things which make q nation great: fer.
tile fields, busy workshops and easy
transportation of men and goods from
place to place."
We have the fertile fields and we
have had the fruits resulting from the
rest of the proposition. We have be-
come great. The present condition OF
our workshops and our railways sug-
gests the consideration of the problem
whether both cannot increase our
greatness and national prosperity IL
the railways are placed upon q strong
er financial foundation than they are
now struggling upon.
The conditions of railway Transport
tation are such that it is practically
impossible, except In a few special in
stances, to maintain for long period
rates which are exorbitant. Railway
managers have rarely failed to appre-
ciate the fact that the development Of
commerce along their lines, and the
consequent prosperity of the projectors,
depend largely upon easy Transports
ton coupled with low rates. Look st

last government report. that Of 1896:
