Restoration to life after hours of apparent
death is now known to be possible in cases of
persons taken from the water or from suffoca-

1t appears from an observation by Heise that
even fameless explosives may set fire to gases in
mines. A compression of 200 atmospheres would
reise the temperature of air to 1.O9O0 c.. and, as
explosives in bore holes can exert pressure Of
5000 to 5000 atmosphcres, the heat of compress
sion would be quite sufficient to ignite infiam-
mable gases in the neighborhood. Aphotograph
described by Oscar Guttmann is held to confirm
this theory. 1t shows flash at the meeting
point of the explosive waves from two stimuli
taneous fired safety cartridges, proving that the
air was SO heated by compression as to become
luminous.

This is a German method of making ''Shio
Liao.~ famous cement used by the Chinese to
unite gypsum, porcelain, marble, stones and
stoneware. The materials are 81 parts of
Stacked powdered lime, parts of powdered
alum, and 40 parts of fresh, well-stained blood ;
and these are stirred until well-mixed
mass of the consistency of somewhat stiff
salve is obtained. When sufficiently thinned,
this cement becomes a durable waterproof
paint of varied uses. Two or three coats
make cardboard covers as hard as wood it may
be used for painting houses. and it gives barrels
an oil-tight glaze.

snortIng Notes.

George r. Bidwell, collector of the
New York port, is spoken of as the L.
A. w. Presidential possibility. 1t Is
said that the west favors him and that
his name needs only to be presented
at the coming national assembly to as
sure the support of that section. Mr.,
Bidwell is not seeking the honor, but
il is thought that if sufficient pressure
is brought to bear he will accept it.
When 27S pigeon shots entered for
the Grand American Handicap last
year it was predicted the limit as TO
numbers had been reached. 1t is ex-
pected by the Interstate Association,
however, that the entries to the handi-
cap which is to be shot April q OF this
year will reach 800 or more. The tour
nament will be held for the first time
at Interstate Park, station on the
Long Island Railroad between Hollis
and Queens. The American handicap
is truly national in character there De-

Several owners of stations are pre-
pairing their horses for a trial after
the great record made by Directum,
2:05h. The most prominent of these
are J. Malcolm Forbes Bingen. 2:O6h;
Peter the Great and Cresceus, 2:07A,
and Tommy Britton. 2:OS. But it will
not be an easy matter to disturb Direc-
tum's mark, and it is more than likely
that he will still be champion at the
close of 1900. Like Alix, who holds the
worlds trotting record, 2:0SS4, he was
a giant among trotters, and the one
that lowers his mark must be a good
deal better than anything shown in
1899 when 2:O6A marked the best
trotting performance of the year, and
there were but two horses out of the
thousands trained that could show
even that much speed for a mile.

The bicycle Has Lost Ground.

AS the star OF the automobile rises,
that of the bicycle seems steadily to
set, says the Scientific American. The
latter will never cease to be used for
business and pleasure; but the popular
rage. which is already on the wane,
will be increasingly transferred to the
automobile as the price of the latter
comes more and more within the
reach Of the purse OF the average citi-
zen. The introduction of motor-pacing
has enabled some remarkable speeds
TO be accomplished on the bicycle, a
mile having been ridden in one minute
and 10 seconds on the track, the cyclist
using a chainless wheel. Speaking Of
paced riding, a striking evidence that
the atmosphere prevents the principal
resistance to a bicycle moving at high
speed was afforded by the ride of
mile in 81 As seconds made during the
year by a rider paced by a locomotive.
This was done on a prepared plank
track laid especially for the attempt.
The most noticeable improvement in
the bicycle has been in the introduc-
ton Of coaster brakes, and of other
forms of brake applied to the rear
wheel. Beyond this there has been but
little chance as compared with the
model of the previous year.

II is also doubtful wheth=- the czaS
would give his consent to such a
match or grant the necessary dispense

people may wait until Michael has be-

consecrated as the supreme head OF the
Russian church. he could grant BIN

were not aware of the awful act that
was being enacted. NeighbOrs passing
the house later saw what was being
done. After coming to a realization
that the parents had gone insane ana
were in frenzied condition toward all
who attempted to interfere with what
they asserted was special order from
God the spectators organized a rescue
party and placed the parents in Gus

only after fierce battle. After he had
been taken into the house four men
were required to hold him. Mr. Spen-
