Dies of Injuries.
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Richmond, Va, last night says: In one Of
Richmond's most fashionable streets John
w Scott, who is very wealthy, was beaten
into insensibitity and robbed at about 1
O. clock this morning. His death ensued five
hours later. He @ss unable to tell who at

Mr.. Scott, n guod health, had left the

about half an hour previously, and was
walking toward his home, four blocks
away. What happened between that time

With a party off friends Mr.. Scott, who
had been out riding in the afternoon and
still wore riding costume, took a late sup
per last night at the Commonwealth Club,
at the club, chatting with fellow members,
until few minutes before the assault.
Major Meyers. who is president of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad, telephoned to the third police sta
ton at 1:3O o'clock in the morning that he
wished a policeman to be sent to his home,
because he believed that burglars were try
ing to enter his house.
Before the arrival of the policeman Major
Meyers found out that a man had fallen
against a window Of the house. breaking
the pane and cutting his head badly. Fur
ther investigation proved this man to be
John W. Scott. When Mr. Meyers had
reached Mr., Scott the latter was uncon-
scious and was bleeding from several
wounds, most of them being in the back of
the head.
1t is supposed that Mr. Scott had been
assaulted, knocked down and. robbed after

Venezuelan Pearls.

When the Spanish discovered Venezuela
they found the natives wearing pearls for
ornament and the fishery is still flourish
ing today. More than 400 boats are en-
ployed in the work. each one paying about
s. per year to the government. The pearls
are of fine quality, usually white or yellow
and rarely black. Only recently white
pearl valued at $1,000 was found The shell
Of the pearl oyster Of Venezuela is small
and of poor quality. The oysters themselves
are short ived-eight years or so. A French
company has lately been formed to exploit
the fisheries by means Of divers, who take
only the mature shells and leave The smaller
sorts, SO that the beds will not be exhausted
The annual output of these fisheries is about
s60o 900 and 1t is said that most of the pearls
are sold In Paris.

Upon His Flesh PsrDet- -a ually. .-

A scientific discovery is bound to be picturesque and interesting, and must attract universal attention. A Roumanian chemist named Dinkeres- co discovered @ means of combining the substances which are used in sensitizing paper for photographic purposes so that they can be applied to the human cuticle without injur- ing it. and the skin thus be made a sensitive plate for the printing of photography. Dinkeresco's remark able discovery is combination of photography end the etching process. and that to some extent the image is bitten" into the outicle.
 At any rate the impression is per manent, the image is clear and dis tinct, and the skin is not made a negative, but really 8 sort of sensi- tized paper. The impression does not wear away with the change of the tissues and the renewal of the sur face of the skin because the sub stances or changes which have been produced by the process of photog- raphy are renewed according to the notifications produced by the 'bit- ing" process. just as those of tat tooed outline are. And whatever the mechanical means employed. the re- suits are remarkable. By this means every human being becomes 6 sort of photograph album. The ikenesses of his friends. landscape views asso- ciated with his childhood or with sig niicant events in his life. portraits of the great men and heroes whom he admires and many other things may be reproduced beautifully and perms- nentlV on his surface.

DROWNED IN A FLOOD.
Eighteen Hundred Feathersd Crea-
 tures Were Victims of Hls- mental Fury.

On the night of August 12, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, after north eastern Kansas had been sweltering without rain for over 30 days, the creeks were drying up and the farm CTS were beginning to grumble about a drought" a big black cloud loomed up over the northern horizon. Horton was treated to display of electrical fireworks and then the wind began to blow. A Hull followed and Horton went to sleep. At about one o'clock people living along the creek south of town found water suddenly rising on the bedroom floors and in one instance a man car ried his wife through the water waist deep to high grsund. The dam which held the town water supply gave way; bridges and eulverts were swept out. And all this in about 40 minutes.

EACH LAMP A SMALL SUN.
Nicola Tesla, the Electrician, Per feots His Remarkable Daylight
 HIuminatfOn.o -

Nicola Tesla has at last perfected his new system of electric lighting daylight illumination, it may be called and he hopes to have it soon intro duced into general use. Under full head of electricity the lamp has the color of ice in the sun. There are neither wires nor carbon filaments to break or burn out.
 The lamp may be described as a nest of glass tubes, bent in rectangu- lar form. Each lamp has about 20 feet of the white flaming tubes. Into this square coil of hollow glass of the diameter of ones finger electricity Is sent quivering from Tesla's oscillator.
 Tesla's oscillator, which he believes is the key for solving the most impor- tant electrical problems of the day, causes electrical vibrations of incon- ceivable speed. These vibrations turn the atoms of the gases in the tubes into, as it were. little comets, which shoot through the inclosed space with tremendous rapidity, leaving trains of light behind. This sudden starting and stopping of the current produces continuous light, neither of the incan- descent nor of the arc light character, but purely solar. In other words, each lamp is a little sun.

DIVORCE IS TOO COMMON.
The Courts of Ens1ahd Are Granting Them More Than Ever
 Before.

Official figures show that the di- vorce court in England was not near ly so busy in 1898 as it had been in 1897. In the latter year 5s3 and in 1898 43 marriages were dissolved. It is worthy of note that over 65 per cent. of the petitions presented to the divorce court had reference to marriages of from. five to twenty years standing. The majority of all the petitions presented were from husbands, but of those relating to marriages of 20 and more years dura- tion the larger number were from wives. An interesting feature of the figures of the English divorce court indicates the auspices under which the marriages it was in 1898 asked to annul were celebrated. About 70 per cent are to be credited to the estab- lished church. about eight per cent. to other denominations and about 20 per cent. to the registry offices. The fact that two-fifths of all the mar riages dissolved were childless leads to the reflection that absence of chill dren from the fireside tends to the dissolution of the marriage tie. There is no doubt that the presence of children is a source of strength to the matrimonial bond. because it adds unspeakably to the happiness of the married couple.

2 EXPEDITION TO LABRADOR
scientiats Arranging for study Geography, Geology, Botany,
 Zoology, MIneraIORy, Etc.

A geological and geographical expe- dition to Labrador. Iceland and Green land is being planned at Boston for the coming summer. Last summer five Harvard men went to Labrador, with Dr. R. A. Daly. of the university mu- scum, department of geology and geog- raphy. This years expedition, which is also under Dr. Daly, promises to be much larger and more elaborate.
 As planned al present, the expedition will have large steamer and take 60 men, if that number can be found who wish to go. In this party it is hoped to have students of geography. geology, botany, zoology, mineralogy and all branches of natural history. The expedition is not limited to Ameri- cans, but men of all nationalities are asked to go. A doctor will attend the men.
 Explanatory lectures will be given on the regions visited from time to time by the leader of the expedition. Labrador will be investigated again.
 The expedition will start June 26 and return on September 20.
 Labrador will not be the limit of the expedition. The men will go north 10 examine the lava fields, geysers and fjords of Iceland and the glaciers of West Greenland. A hunting party is to be landed on the west coast of Green land and in Labrador for short time.

UNDERTAKER OF GENIUS.
Novel Intermsnt Got Chicago Sta dents Our of an unpieasant
 Situation.

He is smart man, is that under taker. Say. he's got brain in his skull sure"
 This is the way in which students at the College of Physicians and Sur geons on the West side express their admiration for certain undertaken who got them out of an unpleasant predieament, reports the Inter Ocean.
 Patrick McAndrews, who lived somewhere near State and Forty-Sec- ond streets, was admitted to the coun- ty hospital about three weeks ago, suffering from a complication of dis cases He died soon after reaching the white cot in the hopeless" ward, and his body was duly laid away to await the coming of his relatives. Fifteen days passed. and nobody came to call for the corpse of Patrick Me Andrews. Then. as is the custom. the body was given to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and ar engagements were planned for a dis section.
 
 Andrews was to furnish material called for the head, chest and arms of an adult male. Attendants in charge of the subjects" severed McAndrews' body at the waist. and took the up- per half to the dissecting-room. Here the ghastly section of the dead hu- manity was laid upon the table, GOV cred with sheet. and left to await the coming of the class and lecturer. The lower half of the body was inn mediately burned. and in two hours time all that remained of McAndrews was the half upon the table. waiting for the scalpel.
 Just as the lecture was beginning word was brought that McAndrews' relatives had appeared and claimed the body. An understaker from State and Forty-frst street was already at the door. and preparations were be- ing made for the funeral at McAn- drews' home. No objection was made by the college authorities to the prompt surrender of the body. but a thorough search failed to locate the lower half of the remains. The at tendant who had burned the missing portion told what he had done. and there was consternation around the college.
 At this point the ingenious under taker came to the rescue. Give me the upper half of the body" said he. Then get me about 80 pounds of bricks" The bricks were brought and the lower part of the coffin was filled with them. McAndrews' upper section was put in place, and the un- dertaker drove away.
 A day later McAndrews' funeral took place with all propriety, and none but the undertaken and those who helped him at the college knew just what the coffin contained. Out on the West side, however, where stu dents congregate, the ''half man" is talked about, and much admiration is expressed for the genius of the under taker
