PHOTOS OF UNKNOWN DEAD.
Coroner Longstreet Will Take and
Preserve Them for Reference.

Coroner Longstreet has decided to
photograph dead bodies hereafter in
cases where the identity of the de-
ceased has not been established be-
yond peradventure, or even where there
is a shadow of a doubt. He is not re-
qured to do this by any law of re-
mote or recent enactment, but intends
to do it out of humanitarian motives.
lie has received scores of inquiries
concerning the man found dead in Nc
Keevers field with a bullet hole in his
head. Photographs have come in al
most every instance, but the lapse of
time and the routine OF everyday prac-
tice since has made him in a degree
forget something of what the man was
like. This was not the only case the
coroner was asked about.
Since he assumed the office dozen
or 80 unknown men have died within
the limits of the county. Some of them
were identified a day or two after their
death, but the majority went down to
unknown graves. 1t would be OF little

as decomposition had set in so far as
to make them unrecognizable.
The coroner is an amateur photog-
rapher of some note, and he owns a
fine snapshot camera. The next case
of violent death he is called upon to in

identified, he will take. a picture and
preserve it for the future. Not a week
goes by but he receives a letter from

JAPANESE IMITATION.
Surprising Leap Across Civilization
of Hundreds of Years.

From Lippincott's.
The japanese are almost universally
condemned by writer's for the imitation
practiced by them of late years of
western literature, art, science and in
vention. And yet this imitation seems
natural and right. Imagine, IL pos
sible, the nation of Japan leaping
across the civilization of hundreds Of
years in half a century. Think of her
emerging from the darkness of the
middle ages and standing suddenly
forth in the light of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Would 1t not have been worse
than madness for her to have said,
This new civilization Is better than
ours, yet we will not initiate 1t. We
will retain our originality, and per-
haps in ages to come we shall reach
the enlightened state now enjoyed by
the rest of the world"
But fortunately the japanese did not
say this, but gave themselves up to
the acquisition of the wonderful stores
OF knowledge opened to them.

Singular Occurrence,

In the United Service museum, Lon
don, may be seen the jaws Of a shark
enclosing tin box A written &C
count attached to this exhibit reveals
a very singular occurrence. 1t says
that a ship on her way to the West In
dies fell in with and chased a suspici-
ous-looking craft, which had all the
appearance Of a SLAYER. During the
pursuit the chased vessel threw some
thing overheard. She was subsequent
ly captured and taken into Port Royal
to be tried as a SLAYER. In absence of
the ships papers and other proofs, the
SLAYER was not only in a fair way to
escape condemnation, but her captain
was anticipating the recovery Of pc
cuniary damages against his captor
for illegal detention. While the sub
ject was under discussion, a vessel
came into port which had followed
closely in the track in the chase above
described. She had caught shark,
and in its stomach was found a tin
