CHINESE INQUEsTS
Their Established Code Embraces
some Pccpiiar and Absurd
Practices.

Coroners' iDquests are well known
among the Chinese. One of the chief
differences between their system and
ours is that the Chinese doctors never
dissect. In fact, Cinnamon have a per-
feet horror OF dissection.
There are few things more absurd
than the code of rules laid down for the
Chinese coroner. In the first place he
is hidden to make sure that he has a
dead body before he begins his inquest.
That however is less ridiculous than
it sounds, for the heather Chinee is
tricky and may demand an inquest on
a sham deceased with a view to eXtort-
ing money from some person who may
be denounced as having caused the
death.
The preposterous part of the code
comes in with the alleged signs which
show the aus of death. If the de
ceased is supposed to have been poi
soned rice is put into his mouth and
then taken out and given to a chicken.
Its effect on the fowl decides the ques-
ton. Most of the other methods adopt
ed are eve more absurd and fanciful,
and rs n result inquests in China do
very little to prevent crime.-Chicagc

WEATHER FORECASTS.
Every Land Now Has It's Daily Re.
ports by Telegraph
and Cable.

A century has passed by since the
first meteorological society of Europe
published the "Ephemerides Mann
heimensis," containing weather OBJ
%servations at many stations. From
these records Brandes subsequently
made and studied the first weathes
maps. Now every civilized land has its
daily reports by telegraph and cable.
The United States weather bureau
bases its forecasts on 200 stations, and
last summer Prof. Moore added Is Kite
stations for determining the condition
of the air high above the ground. The
country has extended its lines to the
West Indies, and is hoping to reach
Hawaii and Alaska; Canada has adGeS
the Bermudas, and is stretching to
ward the Klondike. European bureaus
are moving toward a special cable to
Iceland.
Such outlying stations are very i'm
portant for the protection OF the nearer
regions. but no mere increase il observ-
ers will enable us to predict accurately
farther ahead or in greater detail than
we now do.
What is first needed is a more pro-
found study of the forces that affect
the weather. The crying need of me-
teorology is not more stations, but
study. The highest talent for
scientific investigation is called for.
There are no problems difficult
Than those that concern the weather,
and none more important. He who
solves n of these will benefit the
whole world and merit a great reward.
The endowment at any university of .
special school for meteorological re-
search will mark the beginning of a
bright era in the history of this science,
and will benefit humanity.-Youth's

The OCEAN
Just What Sable Island Is-whefe u
Lies - Its Fight Against
the Sea-.

Sable island belongs to Nova Scotia,
Il 145 miles from Halifax and SIS miles
east of Cape Canso. 1t is a ~treeless,
shrubless waste, scanned by wind and
wave and. of ever-changing aspect. A
cone-shaped hill near the east end, once
a mere undulation of sand, is now over
a hundred feet high, and is still grow
ing. Other hillocks are gradually be-
ing moved away by storms. The hill
locks are liable to be undermined so
swiftly and swept out of existence that
they are carefully watched from the
various stations on the island, and,
there being no certainty how far an
inroad of the sea will extend after each
successful attack. Even the coarse
grass of the island grows in a different
name from that of the mainland. It
does not bear seed, but shoots up from
roots which run along under the sand.
During the winter the sand is blown
over the grass, and buries it sometimes
three or four feet deep. But the hardy
blades grow up next season, as if the
island sands had protected them from
the cold of winter in order to make
them all the stronger. The island itself
is fighting for self-preservation. 1t
seems as if it drew ships into its fatal
embrace as rallying points for its loose
and shifting sand, and thus to protect
itself by a buiwark of wrecks against
humiliation by the sea. Tradition says
that when Sable island was discovered
by Cabot in 1447, it was so miles long
and 10 miles wide. In 1902, when a res
cue station was established there, il was
only 40 miles long. Since then it has
shrunk 10 but little more than 20 miles
in length, and in width it is only a
mile at its widest. Within rs years the
western end lost seven miles. Shoals
over which the ocean now surges are
pointed out as former sites of light
houses. One of these was so swiftly
undermined by the sea that it had to
be abandoned with the greatest pre-
cipitation. The spot where once stood
the superintendent house is now I'M
der two fathoms of water.
The island, rapidly diminishing at
its western end, is slightly gaining at
its eastern. Slowly, like a skip drag
cling its anchor, it is moving eastward.
Will it ever reach the edge of the shoals,
stand lettering on the brink of the
till it receives its coup de grace
and plunge over the submarine bank
into the depths? Unfortunate
ly, its end will probably be less dramat-
ic. There is good ground for believing
that this gray sand bar will slowly
away until it becomes another
submerged shoal added to an ambus-
cade already some 60 miles in length
for a line of breakers extends 1G miles
from one end of the island and IS miles
from the other.-Gustav Kobbe, in Aims
lees.

POWER OF EXPLOSIVES
The Eject Of the Mos Energetic In
Not So Terrible As Generally
Supposed.

There is a widespread misapprehen-
sion in regard to the devastating effect
of these high explosives, for when IN
confined the effect even of large charges
of them upon structures is compare
lively slight. At the naval ordnance
proving ground, so long ago as 1884, re-
peated charges of dynamite, varying
from five to one hundred pounds in
weight, were detonated on the face Of
a vertical target consisting of II one
inch wrought-iron plates bolted to a 90
inch oak backing, until 44o pounds Of
dynamite had been so detonated in con-
tact with it, and yet the target re-
manned practically uninjured; while at
Braamfontein the accidental explosion
of IS tons of blasting gelatin, which
was stored in railway vans, excavated
but 10000 tons of soft earth. This last
may seem a terrible effect, but the
amount of explosive involved was enor-
energetic that we possess, while if we
compare it with the action of explosives
when confined its effect becomes quite
moderate. Thus at Fort Lee, on the
Hudson, but W tons of dynamite
placed in a chamber in the rock and
tamped brought down 100000 tons of
the rock; at Lamberis, Wales, two tons
and a half of gelatin dynamite similar
ly placed threw out 10000 tons Of
rock; and at the Talcen Mawr, in Wales,
seven tons of gunpowder, placed in two
chambers in the rock, dislodged from
5000 to 100000 IONS of rock. We
might cite many such examples, but on
these we find that the gum
powder confined in the interior at the
Talcen Mawr was over 40 times as eff
cient as the explosive gelatin on the
surface at Braamfontein, while the
dynamite at Fort Lee was over 90 times
destructive.-Prof. C. Z. Munroe, in
Popular Science Monthly.

ANTS AS S-TRATEGISTS.
vered with Military Precision
and Effect.

From a military standpoint, the
methods employed by ants to provide
food for an ant colony are almost per-
feet. Their foraging parties are fault
less, both in planning and execution,
and are almost uniformly successful. A
resident of this city who is at present in
business in South Africa, has sent home
a description of a foray of an army of
ants.
The army, which he estimates to have
numbered about L 5000 ants, started
from their home in the mud walls of a
hut and marched in the direction of a
small mound of fresh earth but a few
yards distant. The head of the column
halted on reaching the foot of the
mound and waited for the rest of the
force to arrive at the place of opera
lions, which evidently was to be the
mound of fresh earth. When the re-
mainder had arrived and halted, so that
the entire army was assembled, a num-
Der Of ants detached themselves from
the main body and began to ascend to
the top of the mound, while the others
began moving so as to encircle the base
of the mound.
Very soon a Number from the detach-
ment which had assembled the mound,
evidently the attacking party, entered
the loose earth and speedily returned,
each bearing a cricket or a young grass
hopper, dead, which he deposited upon
the ground and hen returned for a
fresh load. Those who had remained
on the outside of the mound took up
the crickets and grasshoppers as they
were brought out, and bore them down
to the base of the hill. returning for Il
fresh load. Soon The contents of the
mound seemed TO be exhausted, and
then the whole force returned home,
each carrying his burden of food for
the community.
Here, then, was a regular foray.
planned and executed with military
precision, the country surveyed, the
depot of provisions known accurately
before the march was made, and at the
mound prudential division of labor and
care taken that none of the victims
should escnpe.-N. Y. Herald.
