made as to the care of the INDECENT
sick, at the County Hospital, and the
manner of preparing for burial those
who die in said hospital, upon the rec
ommendation aud advice of the Dis.
trict Attorney this body proceeded to
call witnesses, who gave testimony
showing conclusively that patients
brought to said hospital were not prop
erly cared for. In the case of one
David Parks, who was taken to the
County Hospital on or about July 10,
1899, at about 7:30 p. M, suffering from
pneumonia, witnesses testified to the
fact that his clothing was ina damp
condition, and was never removed from
his person That said Parks died the
following day and was turned over for
burial in that same clothing just as he
was brought into the hospital.
Testimony of witnesses also show
that one Jerry Clark, an inmate of the
County Hospital, who died on or about
the l4th day of September, 1899, was
turned over for burial with only
shirt on, which he had worn during the
whole time he had been in the hospi-
tai, about three months, and yet under
the contract as signed by the Board of
the county physician is
allowed to draw from the county funds
four cents per diam for each inmate,
for laundry, whether any washing is
done for said inmates or not.
Testimony of witnesses also show
that bodies turned over for burial are
in more or less filthy condition, and
that said bodies are invariably buried
in that condition, never with a shroud,
and frequently without clothing.

The eminent English scientist, Lord
Kelvin, who for many years has held
the chair of natural philosophy at
Glasgow University, is the subject Of
an amusing story illustrative Of the
singular force Of habit. As professor
Ct science, Lord Kelvin can use long
words In such formidable array as to
paralyze the average layman, but the
Glasgow student is made Of sterner
stun. During q course OF lectures on
magnetism, he once defined an ideal
magnet as IAN infinitely long, in

and longitudinally magnetized bar"
and the misguided students vociter-
ously cheered, which caused the ven
cradle professor to say: ''Silence!"
The definition was made and cheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently
during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion, however, the students did
not cheer, but Lord Kelvin promptly
raped out Silence" as before.

OLDEST TYPE OF REPTILE.
Bat Listis Knowz TIL Now About tho
Curious Tuatara Lizard.

For the last two years Professor
DENLY, Of Canterbury college. New
Zealand, has been infinitely inyestigat-
ing the development OF the tuatara
lizard, declared to be the most re-
markable reptile now living in New
Zealand, and a detailed account Of the
results Of his researches has just ar
rived In England and will shortly be
published. Although the lizard In
question is said to be the Oldest exist
ing type Of reptile up to the present
time, little has been known OF its
LIE history, as II is very rare and shy
and retiring In its habits. The tua-
tara lizard was grst mentioned in
diary kept by Mr.. Anderson, the COM
panion Of Capt. Cook. but the first
really detailed account Of the reptile
was given by Dieffenbach In 1S4S,
when he said: 81 had been apprised
Of the existence Of q large lizard.
which the natives call tuatara, or ma
rara, and Of which they are much
afraid" Owing to the rarity Of the
tuatara lizard the New Zealand gov
eminent passed an act to prohibit the
taking or staying Of the reptile, but, as
usual. forgot one of the most important
namely, the insertion of a clause for
bidding the collection Of eggs. For
tunately for the tuatara, however, p.
Henaghan the principal keeper on
Stephens island appears at present to
be the only man who knows where to
look for them although II Is stated
that two German collectors have been
lately making vigorous but vain ef-
forts to obtain specimens Of the eggs.
Professor Dendy had permission
granted him by the government to
collect both eggs and adults and with
the help Of Mr.. Henaghan he has been
so successful In his Investigations Of
the life history of this interesting rep
tile that many new and important facts
will now be made known to the scien-
tific world. The adult animal has q
spotted skin and a crest Of separate
white, nat, sharp spines, and Is pos
Eessed Of three sets Of teeth. On Ste
phen's island the eggs Of the lizard
are found to be laid in November, and
the embryo pass the winter in q state
Of Information unknown to any other
vertebrate embryo. and do not emerge
from the egg until nearly thirteen
months have elapsed. One curious
fact that has come to light is, that
in the latter stages OF its development
the skin Of the young animal had a
strongly marked pattern of Longitude
nal and transverse stripes, which dis
appesr before Matching gives place to
the spotted skin Of the adult animal.
This lizard is particularly interesting,
owing to the fact of its being allied to
the extinct reptiles Of the Triassic
age.

How . Great Exchange Of Goods Has
Been Created In Three Decades
The Hawaiian Star says: The keels
OF steamers are beginning to pillow the
Pacific In all directions. Thirty years
ago there was one wretched little
steamer running between the islands
and San Francisco. She used to take
ten or twelve days on the voyage and
lie here a week to allow people time
to wake up and write their letters.
Now We have two lines to the orient
two to the colonies. Vancouver has
the Empress line to the far East, and
yet another Is to be added to run d.
rect from that port to Vladivostock and
tap the trans-Siberian railroad. II is
well sometimes to look back and see
what has been accomplished. The
growth Of trans-Pacific trade, which
has been enormous in the last few
years, Is only a forerunner Of what
It will be In the future. Instead OF
dozen steamers a month. there will in
time be dozen steamers q day calling
at the islands.

WHY COFFEE IS BAD.

Among the chief authorizations OF
coffee is that with chickory, which can
be detected by throwing the ground
coffee into cold water, when the
chickory will sink rapidly and
color the water; the ground cof-
fee floats, imparting no color. A bogus
coffee imported from Germany shows
the structure OF genuine coffee, but
the fat globules which are always album
dant in pure coffee and ether extract,
which is II per cent In pure coffee, was
less than 1 per cent. 1t was evident
that this coffee has been treated TO-
the manufacture Of coffee extract,
after which the grains were roasted
second time with the addition Of
little sugar to cover the berries with
a deceptive glazing. The dark color
OF the beans was due to the second
roasting.
Roasted imitation coffee may usual
ly be very easily detected. As a rule
genuine roasted coffee viii float on
water and the artificial article will
sink
West Indian coffee is for the most
part eveu-sized, pale and yellowish,
pure and heavy, with a fine aroma,
and loses little in weight by roasting.
The Brazil coffee is larger. less solid
and greenish or white, while the Java
coffee is smaller, slightly elongated.
pale in color, deficient In aroma and
essential oil, and light. Ceylon pro-
duces coffee Of all descriptions, but
the ordinary-shaped coffee Is eyen-col-
ored, slightly canoe-shaped, strong In
aroma and flavor, of considerable gray-
ity. Mocha is small and dark In color.
Il Is stated that East Indian coffees are
sometimes shipped to Arabia and ex-
ported from that country as genuine
Mocha coffee. The Rio coffees form q
very large proportion Of the coffees
consumed In the United States. Its
bean is smaller than the Java and
nearly the size Of the Mocha.
Santos coffees are converted into ia
va by being deeolorized with lime
water, washed, rapidly dried and col
ored by q slight roasting or by means
Of azo-orange. The weight lost Is re.
gained by steaming and then coating
the beans with glycerine, palm oil Of
vaseline to prevent evaporation.
II Is not an uncommon practice tC
treat inferior or damaged coffee b.
some process for the purpose Of an i'm
itation Of superior grades. Java seems
to be the brand to have been especial
ly subject to this treatment, or, rather
other coffees are colored in imitation
of Java. South American coffees ar
often exposed to a high moist hea
which changes their color from greer
to brown, thus forming imitation

Essentially a device which Transforms

heat says the New York Press. As
Is well known, the carbon hlament of
the lamp is substance Offering great

the translation Of one form Of energy
into another. The light thus produced
q after all, only small percentage Of
the energy manifested-some 8 or 9
Oer cent. at the most.
The fact is important, bearing in
mind a common notion that the electric
incandescent lamp is free from the
boat rays. 1t is true that the lamp,
rhpn working, is not comparable with
fame of naked light, but at the same
time the heat evolved Is such as may
lead TO ignition. This point is deserv-
inc Of emphasis, because the incandes-
cont electric lamp is used for purposes
Of Illumination in shops without re-
GARD TO the possibility-even probable
ity-of fancy goods which happen to
he contiguous being fired.
Indeed, so firm Is the idea that the
Incandescent electric lamp Is free from
heat that it is frequently to be found
hurled In a mass OF easily ignited and
highly infiammable material. This Is a
mistake, and care should be exercised
with the electric lamp in its applica-
ton in this connection. But, Of course
the risk Is not so great as where naked
lights are employed. 1t has been found

water boiIs within an hour, and in pro
portionately less time when a thirty
candle-power lamp is substituted.
If, again, the lamp is buried In cottor
wool, the wool soon begins to scorch
and ultimately bursts into fame. Ii
one experiment which was tried thii
bursting into fame was accompanied
by a loud report, due to the explosion
of the lamp. II clearly appears from
this that the incandescent electri'
lamps cannot be regarded as an un
likely means of starting a serious fire
and shopkeepers, especially those VIII
exhibit highly inf1ammable fabrics
should know that there is risk in plac
ing such goods too close to a lamp.
