GARFIELD LAY DYING
A Pathetic Incident of His Removal
to Long Branch.

to Long Branch.
A pathetic incident is related apropos
of the day of fasting and prayer which
was appointed by all the governors Of
the United States at the time President
Garfield was removed from Washing
ton to Long Branch in the hope that
the change might help him to recover
from the bullet wounds inflicted by
Guiteau.
"Crete," said the president to his
brave little wife about II on that
Thursday morning as the ringing
strokes from the belfry of the Episco-
pal church almost across from the cot
tage reached his ears, what are they
ringing that bell for?'
"That?' said Mrs Garfield, who had
been waiting for the surprise. That's
the church where we were when you
| first came down. They're all going to
pray for you to get WE'LL" and, falling
on her knees, she said, "And I'm going
to pray, too, James, that it may be
soon, for l know already that the other
prayer has been heard
From where he lay Garfield could see
the carriages draw up and group after
group go in. He could even hear. the
subdued refrain of Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" as it was borne by on its heaven
ward way. Thrilled with emotion,
tear trickled down the presidents face.
Then he closed his eyes and turned his
face as a sweet woman's voice arose
singing from one Of Sir Michael Costa's
oratorios. Turn thou unto me and
have mercy upon me-" sang the voice,
"for l am desolate-I am desolate and
afflicted; the troubles of my heart are
enlarged. Oh, bring thou me out of my
distresses-out of my distresses-my
God"
The people in the church sat almost
spellbound under the voice, for the
singer was affected deeply and made it
seem to all, what it must have been to
her, prayer in music.

A DARWINlAN THEORY.
why the Drowning Man Always
1hroxvs Up His Hands.


Throws Up His Hands.
The usual idea that a drowning man
is stretching out his hands for aid or
catching at straws' is not altogether
satisfactory. A possible explanation
has lately been suggested, and this
supposes that the drowning man, losing
all his acquired habits and even some
of those inherited from more recent
parents, in his terror goes back to the
instructive movements of his arboreal
ancestors, and the movements of the
drowning man are those of a frighten-
ed ape seeking safety by clinging to
the nearest tree.
The movement is certainly instinc
tive, for it can only be eliminated by
considerable training and voluntary
efforts. and yet it is fatal to the indi-
vidual. for the specific gravity of no
human body is so nearly that of water
that the removal of the arms from the
supporting fluid at once sinks the face
beneath the surface. In cases of so
called ''cramps" the victim, often a
highly trained swimmer, generally
throws up the hands, but these cases
are probably due to heart failure, and a
similar movement takes place on land
when the subject receives fatal heart
wound, and it is even common ex-
preston of shock or establishment The
ordinary movements of walking or run
ming would keep mans face above
water, but these curious climbing
movements of both hands and feet
make floating impossible and are re-
sponsible for many deaths by drown
ing -Cincinnati Enquirer.

How the Paving Value of Asphalt
WINS Brought to Notice.

How the Paving Value of Asphalt
Was Brought to Notice.
All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial
stone pavements The industry started
with the use of the natural rock as
phalt from the mines in the Val de
Irayers Canton Neufchatel, Switzer-
land, The mines were discovered In
1921, but it was 1910 that its utility as
road covering was first noticed. The
rock was then being mined for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con
tanned in it for use in medicine and
arts. 1t is limestone found impreg
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from 8 to Il per cent.
1t was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight Of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun a good road surface
was produced. A macadam road Of as,
phalt rock was then made which gave
very good results. and finally in 1854
Il portion OF the Rue Bergere was laid
in Paris of compressed asphalt on a
concrete foundation. In 1858 a still
larger sample was laid, and from THAI
ime it has been laid year by year in
laris. From Paris it extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and in
successive years ON other streets.-Mu-
