The prison guardian, recently trans

days, sometimes a week. Little by lit

the hope of a commutation-which we
try to raise in their breasts-begins to
dull the effects of the death sentence"
1t seems that it is particularly the
duty of the priest to jolly the unfor-
innate. How does he persuade them
they are going to be reprieved?" we
asked.

Liver Fluks in Cattle.

A government report on inspection
or cattle for diseases, says: The first
symptoms of liver fuke are generally
overlooked, the disease not attracting
attention until the appetite is dimin-
ished, Illumination becomes irregular.
the animals become h%idebound, and
the coat dull and staring. The staring
coat is due to the contraction of the
muscles of their hair follicles. The
visible mucuous membranes become
pale, eyes become dull, there is run
ming at the eyes, and the animal grad
ually becomes emaciated. AS tAc 3is-
ease dvanc the milk supply is les
sened, fever appears, there is gener-
ally great thirst, but the appetite al
most ceases; oedematous swellings
appears on the belly, breast, ETC.;
dlarrhoea at first a~lternates with CON
stipation, but finally becomes CON
tinuous. The disease lasts from 2 to
. months, when the most extreme
cases succumb.
Ostertag states that most OF the Eu-
ropean cattle are infested with liver
nukes, but that even when a large
number are present the nourishment
OF the cattle is not disturbed. Thick
enlng of the gall ducts, so that a So
called "Medusa's head" forms on the
surface of the liver toward the stom-
ach, appears in even well-nourished
animals; ever in cases of a cirrhosis
OF the liver it is seldom that any eff
feet upon the cattle's health can be
noticed, and as long as a portion of
the liver tissue, about twice the size
or the fist, remains intact the nour-
ishment of the animal may be COM
paratively good.
1t has been found that the liver
nuke cannot pass through its different
stages in cattle or other domestic AMI
mails, but must have an intermediate
host, in which it can get a part OF It's
development. This intermediate host
is the snail or, We should say, some
varieties Of snails. In Europe the va
rieties have been as~certained, but in
this country the work still remains to
be done.

the news came to him that the death

and satisfaction yelling up from this

request to the governor for permission
to stay a moment longer. Sale, a bur-

excitement of his reprieve. He talked

usual Di tinction.
DR.. Heneage Gibbes, health officer of
Detroit, enjoys The distinction of be-
ing the only Chinese mandarin to hold
an American Office. He acquired his
title after a series of adventures that
would make Sinbad the Sailor look to
his laurels. DR.. Gibbes is an English
man by birth. He ran away from home
when IA years old and went to sea.
After several years as a sailor he was
shipwrecked IN the coast of China and
fell into the hands of pirates, who took
his clothing and turned the sailor loose
in the garb of nature. Finally he
reached a Chinese town. Then he fell
in with an Englishman, who gave him
money for clothing on condition that
Gibbes would work out the debt, and
who informed him as soon as the bar
gain was closed that he would be ex-
pected to go into the camp of a rebel
army and sell Struggled arms. The
young Englishman never hesitated and
became an enemy of the Chinese gov
eminent. From that he drifted into

mand of a gunboat, and set to patrol
ing the coast, looking for pirates and
opium smugglers. He had a mixed
crew composed of men from almost
every nation on earth. But the crew
was made upof fighters and Gibbes was
successful in capturing some bad OUT
laws. On one occasion he made a dash
up a river which the smugglers prac-
tically controlled. He seized a cargo
of c~ontraband opium and made for the
sea. But pirates and snugglers open
ed on his boat from the banks and
gave him the closest kind of a call 10
capture. Once they tried to board his
vessel with canoes and ran into a dis
charge of grape and canister that
tore them to pieces. Gibbes and his
men escaped with an immense cargo
of the captured narcotic, and when this
was reported to the government Gibbes
was summoned into the presence of

AURORA
Identification OF Auroral Phenom ena OF
the Two H~emlspheres,

tAS AChAAEuAcNcs1
Henryk A~rctowgki, writing OF the
aurora a~ustralis, as seer from the Bel
gica, states that during the time the
ship was frozen in, March 7, 1898, to
March IA, 1899, the period when the
aurora could be seen was from March
IL to September 10. During this period
the ship drifted with the ice from 50
degrees 81 minutes south latitude and
81 degrees and 35 minutes west longi-
tude to II degrees SO minutes south
latitude and so degrees q minutes
west longitude, scattering the observ-
ations over ten degrees of longitude
and two and one-half of latitude. The
aurora was seen 81 times during the
winter of 1898 and on March Il, 1899,
two days before escaping from the ice,
1t appeared again, making the total OBJ
servations 62. The diurnal period was
from Z p. m. to 2 a. m. In March and
the beginning of April there were fine
displays of variable aspect. In July
they took the form merely of a lumin-
Gus glow. In September they became
once more active and comparatively
bright. A homogeneous arc which re-
manned visible for many hours without
change in always the same quarter of
the heavens was a remarkable circum-
stance connected with these displays.
The arc reached to eight or twelve de-
grees above the horizon, and It's ex-
tremities were nearly As degrees dis
tant from the bearing of the culminat-
inn pNf14 v-liaH 1-ya, -@,,4L
southwest. At the winter s~olstice the
arc did not attain so great an altitude
as at the %equinoxes. 1t thus appeared
that during the polar night the auroral
phenomena withdrew to a region near
er the magnetic pole. There is a re-
markable analogy between the aurora
borealis as seen by Nordenskiold on
board the Vega when she was impris-
oned in the ice during the winter of
1888 in CT degrees and 5 minutes
north latitude and 1856 degrees and 81
minutes east longitude, approximately
the same distance from the north mag
netic pole that the Belgica was from
the south. The homogeneous arc with
its dark segment is characteristic Of
both and in both cases it remained un-
changed for hours. 1t Is therefore be-
lieved that the results obtained by Nor
denskiold and those obtained on the
Belgica will furnish the first elements
of identification of the auroral phe-
nomena of the two h~emispheres and
that the theoretical considerations ar
rived at by Nordenskiold for the Arctic
regions will be found to apply to the
Antarctic also.

No fight in the history of the prize
ring has ever drawn more money
through the doors than the scientific
battle between kid" Mccoy and
James ]. Corbett. Seventy-ive thou
and dollars were taken in at the en-
trance to Madison Square garden and
OF this amount the pugilists received
90 per cent. Seventy-fve per cent of
this was to go to the winner and the
remainder to the vanquished, but it is
generally believed among sporting
men that the purse was split equally,
each man receiving 1872, 800. If this
be true Mccoy has enough to pay him
and more for the crushing bows from
Corbett's lightning fists, which beat
him to the ropes and then curled him
up in agony upon the resined mat
On the other hand, If Corbett re-
ceived rs per cent of the amount which
was given to the principals by the club
he would have no less a sum than So
$50, IA fortune which if judiciously
used would make him a rich man for
