Ernest De Bavier, an exporter OF Chi

"The Chinese taken into the foreign

Mountain of Human Bones Covered Over by the American Forces.

In the Colon cemetery at Havana where the American seamen who per ished in the Maine catastrophe are buried, in striking contrast to the rev. erence displayed by Anglo-saxon peo- nles fer the burial places Of their dead, there has been for more than two cen- turies human bone pit. Exposed to the glare of the sun, the mercy of the rains, there have lain for yea-s the frames of those who 1lce lived and loved, says the New York Herald. This famous pit was first dug by Don Pedro Valdes, h the year 1902. and from that day to this has been the re- ceptacle for the skeletons of the Gu ban dead. It is 110 feet square and twenty feet deep filled to the twenty foot level. An eight-foot stone wall incloses tt from the morbidly curious, and in external appearance 1t resem- bles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks. The old Spanish custom of renting graves, none being able to buy outright, in Colon cemetery, easily ex- r5asTs the necessary existence of the Fia.' A man dies, Is buried in a rented grave, forgotten in short time, the rent unpaid one year-his bones are dug and thrown among his anceE- tors in the mass of dead humanity; the grave, being already open, is held to receive the next body. A careful es- innate, no record having been kept, puts the number of human skeletons in the pit at 100000 When one realizes that the pit is nearly 300 years old, and the average life of man is a little less than thirty years, Hayana's popula- tien for the last 100 years being more than 100000, 1t is quite plausible that the estimate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the "pit" and left to the depredations of the vu1ture or buzzard. the scayengers of Havana Skulls with long hair still on are not infrequent sights, and in one case skull still held fast "switch." Midnight ramDles over the heads of these departed have been one Of the pastimes of the mor- bidly inclined in Havana. The Amer fcan government, ever to the fore in the ways Of civilization, has at last filed over the ghastly "bone pitt" and the days of Luncheon on skuI1s" are past.

 Sale of Liquor.

Washington Special New York Times: A decision of Justice Brewer has been raked up which may enable druggists to sell some kinds of liquor in communities under the control of the federal government where such practices are supposed to be prohibited. The District of Columbia Pharmaceu- tical Association has been trying to find out how it can prevent the sale of certain kinds of malt extracts, and has been enlisting the aid of the dis trict government As result of the investigation of the legal aspect of the question it has been found that the act of congress regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors contains no defi- hilton of intoxicating liquors An opinion given by the district attorney cites an old decision of Justice Brewer, holding that the question whether any particular compound is within or with out the law is a question of fact

EARTH IS GETTING SMALLER.
At Least Its Peoples Are Coming Closer
 Together Every Day.

Together Every Day.
 From the St. Louis Globe-Demoerat One of the wonders of this marvellous age is the rapidity with which the re- mote quarters of the earth are being brought close together According to the Russian minister of railroad, when Russia's new trans-Siberian railroad is finished the trip around the world can be made in thirty-three days. When Jules VefEe, just twenty-five years ago. sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg around the world in eighty days this exploit was deemed to be as near the absolutely impossible as at one time Puek's feat was of putting a girdle round about the earth in forty min utes." Two American women travel ing in opposite directions, beat Fogg's mythical exploit a few years ago. When the Russian railroad is built, however, the record of their journeys will, in the comparison, seem like the old stage coach and sailing vessel trav- els do today. With what incredulity would the navigators of century ago have looked at tho forthcoming Rus sian time table. The remnant of the fleet with which Magellan left San Lu- car, in Spain, in 1519, returned to that port in 1522. Three years, lacking two weeks, were required for the circum- navigation of the earth. The first of the British world circlers, Drake, who sailed half a century later, was as long making the distance. Cook, who made the journey century later than Drake, was two years ten months on the yoy- age. Tn the century and half be- tween Magellan and Cook the time of the world circuit has been shortened i'll only an imperceptible degree. There had been but little improvement in the speed of the ocean vessels since the days when Odysseus in his shallop, af- ter the Trojan war, started on his re- turn to Ithica. No improvement of | consequence, indeed, was made until the days when steam began to be ap- piled to ocean navigation and that was at such a comparatively recent date that on May 24, 1S19, the day on which Victoria was born, the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlantic start ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool, l and taking twenty-six days to make | the voyage, which would now be made 1 in less than six

Ttre Depart It Chaplains.

The New York fire department is to be equipped with chaplains, just the same as regiment of soldiers. The officials consider that it is as necessary to have chaplains at fires as it is to nave them accompany troops to the firing line in time of battle Loss of life at fires is sometimes very heavy. as was recently shown here There should always be some one present to administer spiritual consolation. Fire Commissioner Scannel has appointed two chaplains for the department They will hold the rank of chief of battalion, and will perform the same duties as chaplains in the army, in all cases &C., companying their battalions into ac- tion. The only distinction between ar my chaplsins and fire ehaplains is that the latter will receive no compensation for their services.-New York Corres- pondence Pittsburg Dispatch.
