How the Burmese Make Fire.


One day Burmese messenger
brought me note. While he was wait.
ing for the reply. observed an object
something like boys popgun sus.
pended around his waist. On asking
what 1t was he showed me that 1t was
an implement for producing fire. II
was a rude example of a scientific in.
strument employed by lecturers at
home to illustrate the production of
heat by suddenly compressed air. A
piston fitted into the tube; the former
was followed at the lower end and
smeared with wax to receive a piece
of cotton or tinder. which when press.
ed into 1t adhered. The tube was clos
ed at one end. Placing the piston at
the top of the tube. with smart blow
he struck 1t down and Immediately
withdrew 1t with the tinder on fire, the
sudden compression of the air having
ignited 1t. was SO much struck with
the scientific ingenuity Of this rude
implement that procured 1t from the
Burman and sent 1t to the Asiatic 80.

under republican form Of gov

WE SUPPOSE the law should take
its course and that christian people
should make great to do over
criminals, and try to "assist the
Lord" in saving their miserable
souls, but it makes ones blood run
cold to read the soothing and salve-
spreading there was at the electro
cution of Gardner, the brute mig
ger that outraged and killed little
Ethel Long, near Chilllcoths. The
awful blasphemy Of teaching such
u beast a prayer, putting a bible in
his hands, and have him sing q
song and say II prayer. and fly
away to heaven on snowy wings OF
purest white, Merciful Father! 1t
is no wonder that men go mad and
burn such brutes, before the tender
laws OF christian people get hold
OF them.
