Determination of Death by x Rays.

Determine ton of Death by X Rays.
The subject Of the definite determine
ton Of death Is one Of great impor-
lance, and new tests are from time to
time submitted. The latest one sug-
gested, as we learn from The American
Y Ray Journal, is that Of Professor
Ottolenghi of the University of Slena-
The professor Is said to have "discov-
cred that, while 1t is easy to apply the
rays to the lungs of a person who Is
alive or In trance, it is extremely diff
cult-indeed, practically impossible
to apply them to the lungs of a person
actually dead" The reason Is that
some intervening obstacle prevents the
rays from penetrating into the body.
He has repeatedly made test of this
kind. always with the same result.
Professor Ottolenghi therefore sug-
gests that, as this test con easily be
made by any physician, It should In
future be employed in all cases where
there exists doubt of death.

Goodness nNN Dict DO Great Things
In Keeping Them Well. Yss'%
For every adult life destroyed by ex-
cessive hot weather there are destroyed
at least ten childish lives.
Babies die like wilted flowers. and ig-
norance combines with unusual heat
to sap their feeble strength.
We want to impress on the mothers
and fathers Of children few simple
rules.
First comes GOODNESS. Keep your chill
dren cool. dress them lightly and don't
put warm covers on them Mt night.
Sponge them every day at least once
With weak solution of alcohol and
water
If they are on a milk diet, dilute their

njve children pure drinking water when
Ghey are thirsty.
The youngest child should be taught

&c.
The CAiId eFies ANc..use 1t is thirsty,
the mother givea il milk TO drink and
perhaps Destroys its life by overlooking
Its stomach A'Aen the heat makes even
ordinary digestion difficult.
MOderate Aiet-di!uted food.

Frequent drinking u water, pure and

q thorough bath in the morning, with
0Dod, pure soap to keep the pores open.
q sponge off every evening in diluted
alcohol or witch hazel.
No feeding between meals. no irreu-
lar feeding of any kind.
The above simple rules will keep your
child healthy and may save its life.
Remember that heat affects children
as it does you. Heat sends the blood
rushing to their brains, eXcites them,
makes them nervous and irritable. They
must lose their tempers, for they are
little and cannot reason. But you
should not lose your temper. Don't
scold, don't whip the child because
Providence has seen fit to send the mer-
curry up to 100.
Do for the baby dependent on you
what you would like Providence to do
for you. Be kind to 1t. Keep 1t as cool
as you can.-New York Journal.

Austin, July 20.-State Commission
er of Agriculture Johnson says that the
crop situation in Texas generally speak
ing, is very good. In Brown, Coleman
and other counties of that section rain
is badly needed. The drouth has also
cut short the corn crop in the black
waxy belt, which extends from McLen-
nan county to Paris. The cotton and
corn in the Brazos river bottom and
adjacent territory are in fine condition,
and the prospects for a big yield OF
both products are very promising.

New Kind of Mouse.

On a sand island in Dublin bay a
new kind of mouse has been found. II
resembles the ordinary mouse in all ex
cept its color, which is that Of the
sand, and the naturallsts attribute that
to an interposition of nature for its pro-
lection from the owls and hawks on
the island. 1t is supposed that they
are the descendants of castaway mice
and that the protective coloratiOn is
gradually acquired result OF their sur
roundings.

BOOK rs EXCLUDED.
Secretary Of the Navy FOrbids 1t Being
Used as Text Book ut An
napOlis-Statement from
q the Authr Of Book.

Washington, June 20.-The secretary
of the navy has decided that the third
volume of Maclay's history OF the Span
ish- American war shall not be used as
a text book at the naval academy unless
the obnoxious language it contains in
characterlzing the action OF Rear Adj
miral Schley is eliminated. The secre-
tary says that it would be manifestly
improper to have history containing
such intemperate language as a text
book for the cadets. He will inform
both Commander Wainwright, who is
in command of the naval academy, and
Mr.. Maclay, the author of the history,
of his decision.
In this connection the secretary says
that the proofs of the entire volume
were not submitted to him by the histo-
xian. He received only the proofs OF
she third chapter, that relating to the
mobilization of the fleets which obtain
cd a summary Of the orders which he,
as secretary of the navy, had issued in
making the naval preparations for the
war. That chapter was satisfactory
and he returned to MacIay with an in
dication Of his approval. He says he
never saw the account of the battle Of
Santiago and the criticisms of Rear Ad-
miral Schley until after the book was
published. Mr.. Maclay was appointed
TO his present position in the New York
navy yard Aug. %, 1900, having been
transferred from the lighthouse service.
