ELECTRIC THAWING.
An Invention That IL Much in De-

the kIondike.

Miners who have returned from the
Klondike. say that in that region, as in
others where the winter temperature
runs down TO well below zero. the bug
bear of the miner is the frozen soil in
which he has to work. Under the in
fluence of the frost the ground turns
as hard as rock for several feet down.
and until this obdurate stratum is cut
through mining operations are at
standstill. The way in which the soil
is softened has, SO far, been to build
a bonfire. and simply thaw things out.
This, however, besides being tedious,
is a great waste of heat, IS per cent.
of which is lost in the atmosphere. A
patent for thawing the ground electric
ally has just been sold for large sum.
The invention is intended to be used
for winter mining in countries where
the cold is severe. Specially-construct-
ed dynamos and electrodes are placed
against the walls of the shaft. with
space of from five to six feet of ground
intervening; so that when the current
is turned on it has to cross the face of
this space to complete the circuit. AS
the ground contained therein forms
a resistance to the motion of the cleo
tricity. heat is generated. and the
ground is thawed. The heat thus gen.
Grated can be SO controlled that il can
be applied in any manner that will
utilize its full force and effect. By the
old bonfire system it took "a hours to

trical system it is claimed that it is
possible to thaw out the same depth Of
frozen earth in one hour, or "a feet per

The ameer of Afghanistan must be
rather trying in the character of
debtor. The ameer's methods are thus
described: HE feeds every official and
houses him, and gives him an occa-
sional rupee or SO, but pay him his full
remuneration he will not. He proffers
no rude refusal to the request for coin.
His method belongs TO the suaviter in
modo style throughout. My friend
he exclaims, what is mine is. yours
Take anything you want. Have they
not fed you properly? Do you want
more furniture or clothes? Do you
want anything else TO drink? Is there

friend, take it to your house. Rupees
however, his highness can never be
persuaded to part with. He will send
them by-and-by; he will send them Mt

pose of their dead. That is already ex-
pensive enough in New York, at all
events. The cost OF precautionary
measures suggested are paid by the
municipality, and this has been re-
duced to a minimum in Germany.
THE laws there are very simple, and
the ichenfrauen-women who take
care of the dead, corresponding to
'layers-out' in England-are instructed
as distinctly what they may do as what
they may not do. Nothing is left to
their discretion. A staff of physicians
are at their call. In many towns these
women assume the duties left to the
coroner in this country. They are
trained to the work, and are appointed
by the municipality on civil service
basis.
There is dead house in every GEM
etery. The law specifies how and
where they shall be built. The rooms
for the reception of the dead are ten
feet long, six feet wide and ten feet
high. Even the temperature of the
room is fixed by law. Each room has
door leading into a common hall, or
waiting-room. The door is unlocked at
all times, and relatives or fric2ds of the
deceased are practically unrestricted,
except in cases of infectious diseases,
in their opportunity to visit and in
spect the bodies of their dead.
apartments are provided in the
building for the lichenfrauen, and il is
their duty to inspect each body in their
charge at least three times every day
for signs of returning life. Electrical
connections are made with each body,
so that at the slightest movement an
alarm is given to the watchers in
charge. The fact that many persons
have been saved from burial alive by
these establishments in Germany is
sufficient reason for the adoption of
the same system in this country. IN.

Too Much Haste In Laying Away the
Dead In This Country - Precau-
lions TO BE Prescribed
by Law.

New York's legislature will endeavor
to enact law that will prevent prema-
ture interment or cremation. 4 bill,
already introduced, provides that in
cities or places where there are 100 or
more interments, each cemetery shall
have a mortuary or mortuaries, to be
used for the disposal of the dead. which
shall provide rooms Of sufficient num-
Der to enable each body that is re-
ceived to be placed and kept therein
a certain time.
No body shall be received unless ac-
companied by a statement on the part
of an attending physician or coroner
showing whether he has found these
signs Of death:
/. Permanent cessation OF respira-
tion and circulation.
2. Purple discoloration Of the de-
pendent parts of the body.
3. Appearance of blistering around
a part of the skin touched with a red
hot iron.
4. The Characteristic stiffness known

S. Signs of decomposition.
The bill furthermore provides that
no body shall be cremated or buried
in any of the cemeteries or other places
for the final disposal of the dead be-
fore 70 hours have elapsed from the
time of death Provisions for excep-
tons in the case of death from infec-
'tious diseases are made.
Burial alive is about the most ghast-
ly terror of which the human mind can
conceive" says II. Gerald Chaplin who
drafted the bill. at fills the minds of
nervous people with an ever-haunting
dread. There is more necessity for
such legislation as l am working for
in this country than there is in Eng
land. 1t is the custom there to keep
the dead above ground for three days
ut least, which covers the period men
toned in the bill introduced by Mr..
Redington. But in this country we
bury or cremate our dead with the
same haste and hurry that we do other
things. Climatic conditions make this
a necessity sometimes
THE proposed legislation in New
York is based principally upon laws
that were enforced in different German
provinces before the empire, and which
are still carried out to perfection in
Bavaria and SaXony. Amendments TO
the laws have been made from time to
time, but only in the direction of i'm
provement. There is no additional ex-
pense to people who are obliged to dis

which the new company is prepared to
face-indeed, to invite-the criticism of
the world. The termini of the canal
are Colon on the Atlantic coast. and
Panama on the Pacific. The distance
between them is 461a miles, measured
on the line of the canal. The canal
is to be divided into six reaches-a
maritime channel on either sea-coast,
and four intermediate ponds of varying
lengths. The channel on the Atlantic
coast covers nearly one-third of the
length of the canal, being itself 24.20
kilometers in length. The bottom
width of the channel will be 80 metres,
and the depth below the mean level of
the sea (which is here practically tide
less) will be nine metres. The At
lantic channel is already completed.

LOVE YOUR LOVER.
But Marriage Absolutely De-
mands Love.

Intimate acquaintance, congeniality
of tastes and purposes, respect, adj
miration, material and social advance
mentcall these may appeal at some
time to the young woman or the young
man as furnishing the possible material
for prosperous venture into matri-
mony. Bat to those of us who are on

experience to give us insight, there
never was a greater fallacy. l would
say to all young women land l would
l had the tongues of angels to say it

Der that when the apostle Peter sums
up the qualities that go to make the
perfect Christian character he does not
begin by urging the necessity of faith.
He assumes its existence at the start.
He says: add to your faith, virtue;
and to virtue, knowledge" 1t is as
if he would have us know that faith
is not to be regarded simply as an
adornment to the Christian character.
1t is a prerequisite. 1t is the atmos-
phere in which the Christian life has
its breath and being. So it is with love
when the time comes to settle the
gravest question of life.-Helen Waiter
