Chemists had a rare chance in En-
gland recently for unique experiment.
: A. -aaiRe- which had been closed 'hermet-
ically by an explosion near the mouth
of the shaft was opened fifteen months
after the accident. The air within the
mine had been compressed enormously
by the explosion, and for twenty-four
hours after the opening was made,
1t volleyed out with great noise. Dur
ing this time it was possible to gather
enough of it for analysis, and it was
found that its composition had been
altered so completely by the explosion
and the consequent sealing of the
mine that the gas that escaped did not
contain any oxygen whatever. 1t con-
sisted entirely of carbonic acid gas,
firedamp and nitrogen. But although
1t was absolutely fatal to animal life,
it possessed wonderful powers for pre-
serving other organic life, as was dis
covered when the mine was purified
enough to permit investigation. All
the provisions which had been left be-
hind by the miners were found in thor
oughly good condition. The bread was
dry but perfectly sweet and as edible
as biscuit. Bacon was found in as good
and pure condition as if it had been
freshly cut, and, most curious of all,
the water in the water barrels was not
only sweet and good, but it had not
evaporated at all. A large quantity
of corn meal had been sent down just
before the explosion to be mixed with
the drinking water. This was just as
good as it had been fifteen months be-
fore. The feed for the mules was per-
feet and the animals ate it with relish,
The steel rails, the tools and all other
metal work in the mine were entirely
free from rust. Wire cables and ma
chinery were as bright as if they had
been polished. There was not trace
of mildew on clothing or harness. and
the woodwork showed no sign of deter
ioration.-New York Press.

Their way to the dear home strand,
With naught but the sky to guide them

From remote ancient times it was
a custom in Greece to put a coin in the
hand of the dead The Greeks of an
tiquity believed that when any person
died his soul must of necessity cross
the dark river Styx ere it could enter
the happy fields of Elysium. The boat
man on the StyX was Charon, and the
coin, which was by custom placed in
the hands of a dead person was sup
posed to be Charon's tip" for ferrying
them safely over the dread stream. A
traveller in Greece thus describes a
Greek funeral: THE body was wrap
ped in new clothes and more especial
ly, new Shoes Beneath the head was
placed a pillow full of lemon leaves
In the mouth was put bunch of VIC
lets, and around the temples a chap
let Of flowers. These, which are only
used for the unmarried, must be white.
A small coin was placed in the palm
of the hand" At Athens small cop
per coin is dropped into the coffin The
Chinese have similar custom, though
in many cases with them the money so
used is said to be paper and counter
felt. The custom is also observed in
some parts of Ireland, France, Spain
and Portugal, as well as among sever
al Indian tribes.-New York Weekly.

The Oldest tree in existence is said
to be an oak. on the Island of Cos,
in Asia Minor, which, according to a
venerable German investigator, has at
tanned the age of 1900 years. The au-
thority has arrived at this conclusion
from careful examination on the
ground. Tradition has it that the
Greek physician, Hippocrates, who was
born on the island, often assembled
his pupils under the welcome shade of
this very trees branches Now, Hip
pocrates came into the world 460 years
before the Christian era, and If this
is the same old tree, it has indeed

square and on top Of these were put
steel beams about thirty-1ve feet long,
and each Weighing something like
forty tons. On top of these there was
more cross timbering, and then the
anvil block was put on, weighing about
1900 tons. After running the hammer
for short time the foundation went
down eight or ten inches, and, unfor-
tunately, did not go level, which made
matters worse. John Fritz, under
whose supervision the work was done,
in speaking of it some time ago, said
that he thereupon took out everything
down to the piles, leveling the founda-
ton up again, and put in 2-foot thick
ness Of wood shavings. A lot of men
were put on to tramp that down to
about 16 or IS inches; the heavy tim
bers were then placed on the shavings;
next came the steel beams, placed Cross
wise, and on top of these 10-inch
square timbers. After these came
about fifteen hundred weight of cast
iron covered with 3-inch plank and 70
inches of cork. On top of the cork
there were, again, 10 inches of timber,
and then finally came the anvil block

THE BEST HE EVER SAW.

A Missourian Pronounces on the Farm
Ing Possibilities of Western Canada.
Just at present considerable interest
is being aroused in the fact that a few
new districts (of limited acreage) are
being opened out by the Canadian gov
eminent in Saskatchewan and Assini-
boia (western Canada), and any infor-
nation concerning this country is
eagerly sought. Mr.. w. r. Corser, of
Higglnsville, Lafayette Co, Mo, was a
delegate there during last summer, and
writing of his impressions he says:
II found surprising yields of grain
OF all descriptions. One farmer l Wis
tied threshed of It's acres:
900 bushels of wheat from fifteen
acres, 40 bushels to acre.
900 bushels of barley from ten
acres 60 bushels to acre.
$4,000 bushels OF oats from $50
acres, 100 bushels to acre.
"The samples were all No. 1.

stock. Swine do well and there is no
disease amongst them. They are a
good source of income to the farmer
The cattle on the range beat anything

tritious grasses of the prairie. am

eminent whose advertisement appears

At one time. during the existence
of the so-called blue laws in the New
England states, it was illegal for a
man to kiss either his wife or his chill
dren on Sunday The case is recorded
of Captain Kemble, who in the year
1866, after voyage Of three years,
returned to Boston and was put in the
stocks for twenty-four hours on the
day of his arrival His offense was
described as "lewd and unseemly be-
havior, for that he did publickly kiss
his wife on the doorstep of his house
on the Sabbath day" Many instances
of the kind may be found in Buckles
