INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE.
DR.. Gordon Il. Claude Addresses The Stu
dents of The Annapolis High School
on Self Preservation a
Law of Eatura" -

On Wednesday from II 10 o'clock,
DR.. Gordon H. Claude gave a lecture by
invitation to the High School pupils on
"Self Preservation a Law OF Nature,
and as a sub head treated Of the import
ance of caring for the teeth. His talk
was scientific yet practical. and the
students enjoyed it.
The Doctor began with some general
remarks upon the important laws OF self
preservation, compensation and the power
of organisms to accommodate themselves
TO their environments. A pretty good
and quite amusing illustration OF the law
of compensation was the photograph of a
rat terrier. The little fellow is blind in
one eye, and when someone cried "rats"
the ear on the side of blind eve was
pricked up in the air. while the other re-
manned dropping. In this attitude the
photo was taken.
The lecturer further illustrated his re-
marks by drawings upon the board
showing the growth. composition and
various cavities of the teeth. and empha-
sized the importance of constant atten-
ton to the teeth, because OF cavities
forming without the knowledge Of the
person. Very interesting comparisons
were made between the teeth and plants;
the root, neck and crown of the tooth
corresponding respectively to the root,
stem and flower OF plant. The whole
talk evinced deep love of nature, and a
keen insight into her workings. The
beauty OF the landscape and the wisdom
of the laws of nature were commented
upon. and the pupils advised to study
some form OF her work. which, if only
one form, and if pursued ever so deeply.
would never fail to be source OF delight
and knowledge.
/, was much regretted when the talk
which everyone enjoyed ended, and all
felt their Indebtedness to DIR. Claude for
SO kindly devoting his time to their in
struction. Other men OF experience in
special physiological subjects will be ask
ed to speak to the pupils from time to
time, and in course of the progress OF
broader lines of educational work, a reg
uIar course OF lectures may be established

engaged several days exeavating under

cold storage building tor the firm OF
Magruder & Co., when the accident
occurred.
The building was S. feet long and 33
feet wide. and was weighted down with
a slate roof without any giTders or braces

being done by Mr.. William +. Field

in this line. and he is unable 10 account
for the sudden collapse. II was reported
at first that several workmen had been
buried in the falling building, and n large
crowd soon gathered about the scene OF
the accident, but this proved untrue.
The workmen, in their hasty retreat.
did not stop to get the horse out. and
this was the only living creature caught
in the falling timbers. Fortunately the
side walls fell outward. leaving portion
OF the front and rear walls standing, and
the root coming down In one mass. was
held up by the flooring and protected
the horse, which was finally gotten out
without even a scratch. Ropes were at
once stretched across the street by the
police in order to keep back the crowd
from the tottering walls. and to warn
pedestrians of the danger. The collapse
of the building will entail considerable
expense upon Magruder & Co. and il
will necessitate the cleaning away of the
rubbish and rebuilding anew from the
foundation.
The building had been used sometime
as an armory, and it is thought the drill
ing Of the men may have weakened the
whole building, which had something to
do with the collapse.

 This walled city is two miles square and has two great gates in each wall base about half a mile from the corners, and a mile from each other. The streets are broad and stretch straight from one to the other making the space inside in to a big nine-block. The police stations are scattered all along the nine squares. The head of the police has charge of all the city gates. they being nine in mum Der. The policemen never carry any arms, not even a stick, but keep swords, spears, guns and cutlasses in racks at the sta ton, and when a signal gun is fired make a rush for the station from which the sound comes and grab the first weapon in sight When on parade or when they have A review. which Is quite often, is the only time they are armed, especially 1T they expect any foreign devils to be pres ent.

 .Besides the twenty thousand police men within the wall I am informed that Pekin maintains fourteen thousand more to regulate matters in the outer city. All these men are under the command of one head officer. The officers and the men furnish their own uniforms. but the state furnishes their arms. and each gets a monthly allowance of rice in addition to his pay. The chief gets good salary. but those under him gets little pay. de- pending mostly for what they can squeeze mt of fhe prisoners whom they pull in."

STOMACH DECLINED.
DR.. Taylor Wishes an Understanding Before
He Nakes the ANALYSIS.

DR.. VIM. III. Taylor declined to accept
and analyze the stomach Of Mrs Eliza
beth Mathews, which was brought to the
city yesterday by sheriff Robert A.. Ed
wards, of Isle of Wight county. until
arrangements have been made for his
compensation.
The Doctor stated his terms to the
sheriff, who said he was not in a posi-
ton to accept them, so returned last
night to his home, taking the stomach
with him. Upon his return he will con-
fer with the county authorities on the
subject, and will communicate with DR..
Taylor tomorrow.
Should his terms be accepted, the
stomach will be returned at once for
eNaminat ton and analysis.
Mrs. Mathews died under suspicious
circumstances four weeks ago, and since
that time, as the result of an investiga-
ton by a jury, her body was disenterred.
The jury has deferred its verulct, await
ing an analysis of the stomach.
