MOVING A CITY.
Japan WIN Prevent restnence IN a Formo
~ Town.

On Town.
It is probable that the action Of the
Japanese government In ordering the de-
struction OF the city OF Teckcham. For
mOau, and the removal Of an OF its inhah-
itants to a new location. Is probably with
out a precedent In history. The city IS
situated on the northwest coast Of the
island, and has been frequently subject 10
pestilenCe, with the sacrifice Of thousands
Of lives. The phenomenon being called to
the attention OF the government, an inves-
ugatiOn was ordered by sanitary experts,
who reported that the city was built upon
a swamp, and that at certain seasons OF
the year poisonous gases Issued from the
ground, whereupOn AN order was issued TO
Mr. Sakurai, the governor. to select a new
location as convenient to the old one as
were healthful. A Eew city was laid out
by experts. and each property holder In
the old one was assigned a site that cor
responded In area with that he occupied
at Teckcham, and he was given twelve
months to remove his buildings and be-
longings.
Sewers. roadways and sidewalks. public
buildings, water works. and all other pub
lie improvements were laid out by the
government In the new city without exc
pense to the people, but they are required
to pay the cost OF the removal Of their
own property. This is not so expensive an
undertaking as one might suppose. be-
cause most Of the houses and other build
ings in Teckcham. as well as In other
cities, are built OF the very hghtest wood
en- material, and "a Japanese house onera
the advantage Of being taken apart with
out difficulty or injury.
The undertaking is "a notable Illustration
OF the enterprise and the wisdom OF the
japanese government.

The dissecting DON Of the Military
hospital of Algiers has just witnessed
the resuscitation Of a soldier who had
been supposed to be dead for three
days. 1t was at the very moment when
the professor Of surgery was about to
dissect the supposed corpse that the
soldier suddenly awoke from a pro-
longed lethargy. The three persons
who witnessed the scene were struck
with such amazement that they were
at first unable to do anything. It was
not till after they had seen the sup
posed corpse quietly slip off the marble
slab on which he was to have been
dissected, and go into an adjoining
room to write a few words on a sheet
OF paper to assure himself that he was
really alive and awake, that the doctor
and his assistant came to his aid. It
Is stated that the recovery Of the sol
der is absolutely complete.

hundred ollar and his travelling eX-

making a total average expenditure OF
not less than $500. or a total investment Of
$50, 900 in pursuit Of the phantom. Thus
far less than one-hfth as much has been
brought away, taking the miners own
statements as correct; and the total out

that cannot be mistaken. In another,

in n Yacht Narrowly Escape
Death.

New York, July 29.-The steamer Mo-
hawk. with crowd of East Side axcur-
sionists, was coming up the bay about
dusk last evening, when those on board
noticed a small sloop yacht, with jib and
mainsail set, headed directly across the
steamers bows.
There were two persons sitting in the
sloop's stern. man and young woman
both in yachting costume, with peaked
caps. The man rested his left arm leisure
ly on the tiller, holding the slack of the
main sheet in his right hand He seemed
TO be paying more attention to his COM
panion than 10 his boat. They were about
a mile below the Captains Pier at Bath
Eeach.
sharp blast from the Mohawk's whistle
awakened the young man, and put the ex-
cursionists on the alert. All was excite
mont in a moment 1t seemed that the
little boat would surely be cut in two.
The bows of the steamer were almost
upon her when the Mohawk's captain sig
nailed to stop the engine and back water
He put his wheel hard down. and the little
yachts skipper threw her head up into the
wind, laying his craft so close alongside
the steamers glancing bows that they
rasped together.
There was cry from the passengers as
the smaller boat careened and shipped
heavy rolling sea
The young woman jumped to her feet
with a scream and as she did so strong
arms from the deck above grasped her by
the wrists and dragged her to safety. AT
the same instant the head of the sioop fell
of from the bigger boat, pun of wind
filled her sails and away she went, leaving
her pair passenger behind.
The Mohawk proceeded on her way and
the last seen of the yachts skipper he was
hauling in his main sheet with one hand
and frantically waving the other, while he
shouted at the top OF his voice. The name
Gertrude was distinguished on the yachts
stern.
The rescued young woman cried all the
way to the pier at East Thirty-frst Street
She seemed fearful that her skipper was
hurt She was a pretty, well-dressed
young woman and had valuable sings on
her fingers, one of them a diamond en-
gagement ring.
She would say nothing about herself
but when she reached the pier she asked
to have a cab sent for, and was overheard
to tell the driver to take her to the Jer-
sey City ferry. II was thought likely from
this the sloop came from some place along
the Jersey shore.
