4 New Death Machine.

From the Chicago Chronicle
Whether or not the stroke of the guilIo-
tine causes instant death, 1t Is more than
likely that the raising of the question by
DR.. Cinel will Danish the machine which
owes its origin to the reign of terror.
For months past the French government
has had in its hands a machine superior to
the guillotine in rapidity of action which
causes no distortion of visage and produces
no scar.
The machine, which has been named
81 Executioner'' by it's inventor Francois
Esclangon, well-known scientist and the
editor of the Partisan LIE Monde Scientif-
ique. is like the helmet worn by a fourteenth
century cavalier. From the top curves
long, hollow bar of steel, dividing near its
end into two portions, which approximate
closely two holes in the helmet near the up
per portion.
In the cavity of this bar are placed two
cartridges, run on grooves made in the
carved bar and attached to long, curved
needles In the helmet are two holes fitted
with disks which can be made to revolve
until they come into opposition with the
eyes of the victim. The apparatus is in
communication with a battery on a table
near by which causes the cartridges to re-
volve and at the same time to plunge for
ward and bury themselves deep in the
frontal lobes of the brain, destroying in
stantly a large portion of the white matter
of the cerebrum.
Death is instantaneous and painless, and
only simple prick at the angle of each eye
shows how the dead man passed.

The Travels of q Bottle.
10 Johannesburg (Africa) News.


When the Natal volunteers were return
ing from England after having taken part
in the jubilee celebrations, Sergt. T NJ.
Owens of the Natal GARDENERS, in the
presence of the rest of the company, scrib-
bled a note, inclosed it in a bottle sealed
the bottle and threw it over the ships side
This incident took place on June o. 1897,
while Umful was off the coast of Spain.
The other day Mr.. Owen received a copy
of THE Barbados Advocate" of June IL.
1898, containing the following paragraph
under the heading of "Adrift:'
This is from Lighthourner' mail notes,
st. Thomas: A bottle containing the fol-
lowing was picked up by James Pen on

paper is thrown into the sea by the Natal
volunteers. about III degrees longitude, 80
degrees latitude, with the curiosity to learn
If it will ever reach land.-T NJ. Owen,
Maritzburg, Natal The bottle, it is
calculated, Travelled over 5000 miles be-
tween the time it was consigned to the
waves and when 1t was picked up in the
West Indies. 1t would seem to have taken
almost a straight course across the North
Atlantic ocean, following the trade route
from England to South America. The time
occupied was nearly twelve months.

ENGLISH PIPE A MYTH.
III is British in Name, but is of Amcri-
can Manufacture.

From the New York Tribune
Bring me nice pipe from London"
An American line steamer was moving
gracefully away from her berth peopIe or
board and others on shore were waving
handkerchicfs and hats, goodbye" and
pleasant journey were shouted all along
the line, and above the din could be heard
the order, half pleading, half imperative,
Don't forget the pipe"
AS the crowd turned back a man who
had witnessed the inspiring spectacle and
heard the order said: Isn't it strange that
real English pipe should be one of the
hrst things that man thinks of bringing
back 10 this country from abroad. when
in fact, there is no such thing as an Eng
lish pipe?'
1t is true that the pipe is more popular
in England than il is in this country and
that the shops keep large supplies and a
great assortment of the goods but neither
the English people nor their visitors from
the United States know that the pipes of
the purest English pattern are made in
France. The dealers in the United States
are better posted than the consumers, and
to them the term English pipe has long
been known to apply to the French article
and of recent years to the superior home
made pipe. An English trade journal of
recent date says: Another of our indus
tries is practically threatened with EXITING
ton on the other side of the Atlantic. This
Is the trade in brierwood pipes, which used
to be imported to a very large extent into
the United States. either from England or
France. Now. however, the brierwood
pipes used throughout the states are al
most entirely made there, and that not
only in the cheapest but in the best quail
tiles"
Before the large pipe manufacturing con-
Germs were established in this country
Vienna was the market for meerschaum
and Paris for brierwood goods. The pipes
were made in small shops and in the homes
of the pipemakers, and delivered to central
offices and warerooms, where they were
assorted. packed and shipped. This method
is still in vogue to 4 great extent in Euro
pean manufacturing towns Women and
children do the work. which is finished later
by skilled workmen and mounted with tips
n etal. etc.
The brier root which is used in the man
ufacture of the goods comes from France
in crude blocks. These blocks are cut in
pipe-outline shapes, and made into
plain and fancy goods. OF these pipe
blanks about fifty thousand gross are
used in the United States every year.
In scientific circles the material from
which the pipes are made is known az the
root of Erica arborea. or white heath. This
is a shrub usually of stunted growth but
often growing to a large size. 1t is found
in the south of France and in Corsica.
After the earth has been removed from the
roots and they have been sawed into pipe
blanks they are placed in vat and sub
jected to gentle smmering for about
twelve hours. This process makes the
wood perfectly clean, and also gives it the
yellowish brown hue which is most de-
srable in good pipes

SARDINE CANNING SEASON.
The Pack Has Been Unusually Good
in New England.

From the Fishing Gazette.
Now that the sardine canning season Is
drawing 20 a close. we are able to make
pretty correct estimate of the seasons
work. At nesrly every sardine station on
the New England coast The pack has been
unusually good. In the early part of the
year there were indications that pointed to
a scanty supply of fish. This continued for
only short lime, and then the supply be-
came unusually plentiful, and continued so
til. the fish suddenly became scarce. This
gave rise tc all sorts of wild reports being
b.. short, and the price of the raw fish was
run Up to SO a hogshead in some cases.
This shortage proved only temporary. The
fish began running again in ample abun
dance, and the season will close with an
aggregate pack of unusual size. 1t IL also
believed the quality will be above the aver
age. No doubt there has been a great deal
of poor stuff Put Up, but the leading fac
tories have been striving after better grades
and better prices.
Eastport. Me-. contains probably the most
extensive sardine industry In the world IL
has twenty large sardine factories. and the
total pay roll will sometimes reach as high
as $4,000 week. The Broad Cove Packing
Company lbuIned several days ago. was
rot rs large as some factories in that city.
yet the weekly pay roll was often from
$1,000 to 81, so) and 81. 600 has been paid out
In more than one Eastport factory for help
during a week. The facilities for shipping
SarulDeS from Passport nave also improved
very materially. The steamer City OF Phil
adelpnia has been on the route between that
city and New York for several months.
making weekly trips, and each time she
has carried from 10000 to 10000 cases to
New York. The steamers Of the /. s. S.
Company have carried many thousand
cases of sardines to Boston during The year.
and recently engine No. 3 of the w. c. R.R.
hauled out 2600 cases. which were shipped
west. Besides the sardines, a quantity of
mackerel has been canned by the packers,
and Il is generally known that plenty OF
large herring are placed on the market un-~-

Lions on the Increase.

From the Birmngham Post.
In several letters received by the last
mail from East Central Africa mention is
made. 1 am told, of the unusual number of
lions that have made their appearance in
the country. One well-known hunter, whose
experience of East Africa ranges over many
years, says that these animals are a per-
feet terror, not a night passing without
one OF more of the brutes breaking into a
Nasal village and carrying off people or
live stock On one occasion recently lion
stalked into a camp, and, In spite of all
that could be done, carried off Swahili
porter from within few feet of a bright
watch fire, where there were men awake
on guard. Masailand is otherwise de-
scribed as magnificent country, teeming
with game of all kinds. and as healthy as
can be for Europeans.
