MISTAKEN FOR "JoHN L."
An Amusing Anecdote Regarding
the Late Sir Arthur
Sullivan.

Among the many anecdotes Of the
late Sir Arthur Sullivan which have
been travelling through two hemi-
spheres since the death of the eminent
composer, the following, as told in Sir
Arthur's own words, is by no means
che worst, says the Brooklyn Eagle:
II was travelling on stage in a
rather wild part of California, and ar
rived at a mining camp, where we had
to get down for refreshm ents. AS we
drove up the driver said: They are
expecting you, Mr.. Sullivan l was
much pleased, and when l reached the
place l found a knot of prominent citi-
zens at the whisky store. The fore
most of them came up to big burly
man by my side and said: Are you Mr..
Sullivan? The man said No. and
pointed to me. The citizen looked at
me rather contemptuously, and aftef
awhile said: why, how much do YOU
weigh?' {
81 thought this was curious method
Of testing the power of . composer, but
/ at once answered.: About j, 162
pounds. s'Well,' safd' the man, that's
odd to me,sanyhow.} DO you mean to
say that you gave fits to John S. Black
more down in Kansas City?' l said:
No; did not give him fits He then
said: well, who are your Ireplied:
My name is Sullivan Amt you John
L. Sullivan, the slugger?' disclaimed
all title to that, and told him was Ar
thur Sullivan. ooh, Arthur Sullivan"
he said. Are you the man as put PIN
afore" ogether?'-rather gratifying
way of describing my composition. I
said: Yes WELL returned the cit
izen, 4 am sorry you amt John Sulli-
van; but still I'm glad to see you any
way-let's have a drink"

WHEN LIFE IS DEPARTING.
Phenomena Which Electricity Has
Disclosed in Animate
Nature,

A. d. Waller, of the Paris Academy
of Sciences, has devised an electrical
means of distinguishing between liv-
ing and dead matter. His statement
Of the method is somewhat as fol-
lows: Living matter responds to an
electrical stimulus by yielding an
after current in the same direction.
The same matter after it has been
killed by heating or other method
does not respond to excitation unless
it does so by causing a reversed cur
rent, due to polarization. This phe-
nomenon is characteristic of all living
matter, animal or vegetable. The
similar induced current is the last
sign of life and it's amount may even
be used to measure the amount of
vitality remaining. In order to make
this test the body is first connected
to a delicate galvanometer and if
there is any detection caused this is
corrected; an electrical stimulus is
administered to the body and then
the galvanometer again connected
to it. If there is now DETECTION of
the latter the body is living; no de-
Election shows that it is Individually
dead

Sin of Using Tobacco,

In early colonial days the use of
tobacco was considered far more sim
full and degrading than indulgence
in Intoxicating liquors. Old-time leg
islation reveals some curious attempts
to check the spread of the creature
called tobacco" Landlords were fined
II they permitted it to be brought
into their taverns. No one could
take tobacco publicly nor in his own
house or anywhere Else before sran-
gers. Two men were forbidden to
smoke together and no one could
smoke within two miles of the meet
ing houses on the Sabbath day. In
Connecticut in early days a great in
diligence was permitted to travellers
they were allowed to smoke once
during a journey of ten miles.
