Ordination of n Priest.

A missionary in China thus des- crlbes the ordination ceremony of a bonze (priest) of which he was a wit ness; "On the appointed day the friends and invited guests of the can didates assemble in the pagoda where the ceremony is to take place. The act Of consecration begins with the remoy- al Of all the hair from the head by a close shave. Then, as the ceremony progresses, little balls made of sul- phur, grease and incense are placed upon the head and so fastened as not to roll off At the proper moment the superior completes the act of consecra- tlon by setting fire to these balls. The candidates are forbidden either to move or touch their burning heads Some of the poor wretches suffer this torture stoically, invoking Buddha, while the majority add their terrible shrieks of pain to the horrible smell of burning flesh"

Small Men Live Longest.

One of the most interesting and trustworthy statements In respect to old age is the report on the habits Of centenarianb made some years ago by a commission appointed by the British Medical association. It seems that most of these people were small or me- <:ium of stature and spare habit or body; the voice was rather feeble; most of them had lost their teeth, but nearly all enjoyed good digestion, one cid man of 9S, clergyman, placing his hand on the organ i'll Caestion and saying that he never knew what it was to have a stomach. Nearly all of them had enjoyed uninterrupted good health, and many had never known what 1t was to be sick. They were all very moderate in eating, most 7t thGm using little animal food. Few indIlged at all in intoxicating drinks, and those only in notable moderation. They took considerable outdoor exercise and nearly all possessed tke good natured, placid disposition.

The widespread impression that peo- pie living in primitive condition possess more acute vision than civil ized men enjoy receives little sup port from the investigations of pr. Rivers during the recent British ex- petition to Torres straits and New Guinea. The visual powers of the people there were found to De superior to those of normal Europeans. all though the degree of superiority was not great The natives of Torres straits could sec better in the dark than most Europeans can. Their sense of touch was also slightly su- perior, and in the discrimination of weight they were more accurate than a practiced European. D.

America as a Coal Shipper.

Having found the markets for their ooals, it but reasonable to expect that American capital and enterprise will soon provide the ships to carry them in, and We shall expect to see many a self-trimmer flying the atars and stripes in the near future. Nor can We, after a careful review of the coal re sources of the United States, of the ex- ceptional ease and cheapness with which they can be mined, and of the readiness with which the very bees coal in the states can be brought to the seaboard, but admit that America will, in the near future, be England's most active competitor in the coal trade of the world, and, next to the English, the largest owners of ocean colliers.-Engineeri Magazine.

STANDARDIZING BUREAU TO BE CUSTODIAN OF STAND ARDS AND MEASURES. A Much Needed Bureau Established by One of the Last Bills to
 Pass Congress.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 9.-A most important bill, which passed Congress at the eleventh holr was one proVid- ing for the establishments of Il nation al burea of standard.;, sometimes call ed a national standar(iling bureau. It's name is awkward bpt suits it's uses very exactly.
 Under the care of tne superintend. ent of the coast survey are d lew brass disks. weights and othe.. af. ticles by which scales of weights and measurement are tested. They gre supposed to be exact, and every year a commission is appointed by the President to visit the several hints of the United States and test the ernment are weighed That is all our Government pretends to dc in this line, although in England. Germany, France and other civilized counti ie, there are official authorities whose business it is to test anything in chemistry or physics that citizen de sires to have tested These officials are custodians of the standards by Whcih evehything is measured. and. as everybody can imagine, they ara f~e- quently called upon to decide dis putes, their judgment being final in all cases
 We have no such thing in this coun- try. Private manufacturers and cor. poratlons get their standards from Germany, and not long ago the navy Of the United States was compelled to ask the German government to make test in order to determine the power of certain electrical machinery
 The bill referred to establishes "a national standardizing bureau" which shall be the custodian of all standards or "elghts and measures, and whose duty it shall be "to compare tho sian. dards used in scientific investigations engineering, manufacturing, com merce and educational institutions with the standards adopted or recoy. nlZed by the government, the con- struction, when necessary. of stand ards, their multiples and sub.divis ions; the testing of standard measur. ing apparatus; the solutions of prob lens which arise in connection with standards; the determination of phys lcal contestants and properties of ma. terlals when such data of great i'm portance to scientific or manufactur- Ing interests are not to be obtained of sufficient accuracy elsewhere
 The bureau shall exercise it's fnnc. tlons for the Government of the Unit ed States: for state or municipal gov ernments within the United States. or for any scientific society, educational institution. firm corporation or indi- vldual within the United States engag- ed in manufacturing or other pursuits requiring the use of standards or stan. dard measuring instruments"

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Gil Ascertains That The Law
Prevents Railroad Taxation.

Judge Joseph A. Gill at MUsko-
gee Monday rendered decision
to the effect that under the exist
ing laws the Missouri Pacific rail-
road company could not be COM
pelled to pay the municipal tax to
the Incorporated town OF Nowata.
This decision, of course IS ap
pliceble to other towns and olher
railroads in the territory
The officials of Nowata had lev
led tax which the company re-
fused to pay. The town then lev
led on section house and other
railroad property and proceeded to
sell it for taxes The company
asked for a perpetual injunction
and this was granted after Judge
Gill heard statement OF the facts
and argument and had exhaustive
ly examined the authorities.
In concluding his decision Judge
Gill said; "In order for the court
to hold that municipal corpora
tions within the Indian Territory
can tax railroads, and railroad
property, consisting of the right
of.way, and buildings thereon, the
court would have to devise some
special scheme of valuation for the
entire territory, which is clearly
beyond its power, and, therefore,
the Injunction in this case must be
perpetual"
