The resistance Of cedar wood to de.
cay has long been famous, and cedar
fence posts often last for generations.
A remarkable instance of the indie
structibility of cedar has been noted in
the State of Washington, where for
est of hemlocks. near Acme, has grown
up over an ancient buried forest of ce-
dars. The trunks of cedar. although ly-
ing in moist SOIL have been almost
perfectly preserved for at least 100

Corundum Is first cousin to the sap
lance of color and transparency. 1t
Is most excellent abrasive material,
better than emery, which Is impure
corundum, in that respect. but hitherto
Its rarity has made it too highprlced
for general use. Recently valuable de-
posits of corundum have been found in
the mountains north of Kingston, on
tario, and it is hoped that they will
furnish large supply of the mineral.
Traces Of sapphire have been found
among the deposits, but as yet no speci-
ments of the precious blue gem have
revealed themselves.
The difference in color between green
and black tea has been ascribed to va
rious causes. Recently Mr.. Aso, of the
agricultural college at Tokyo. has in
vestigated the subject, and he offers,
in substance, the following explana-
ton: In making green tea the leaves
are steamed as soon as gathered; in the
case of black tea the leaves are allowed
to ferment before drying. The result
| is that the finished black tea contains
much less tannin than the green con-
tains The original tea-leaf possesses
an oxidizing engine which IS destroyed
in the green tea by steaming. In black
tea, during fermentation, the engine
Oxidizes the tannin. and gives rise to a

Ialking to ones self has this obvious,
advantage over any other form OF orr
tory or gossip -one Is assured of sym
pathetic audience. But Ii has also thl,
peculiar drawback-it Is supposed to be
one Of the early symptoms of insanity,
Wrongly So perhaps. A mad doctor
might rule the habit out of his diagno
sis. Nevertheless the popular belief
Is firmly rooted. And it Is for fear OF
this belief, doubtless, that we talk to
ourselves, even as we dress our hair
with straws, so rarely. 1t may be said
that we never do address ourselves at
any length except in the delirum OF a
fever. In moments of ordinary excite.
ment, of course. we utter to the wind
some sort of appropriate ejaculation

PARIS SCHOOL
In Which Aspiring Detectives Ar,
Trained for Their Profession.

Trained for Their Profession.
Paris Is the home of new school
for detectives, where aspiring trackeri
are taught by regularly graded lesson
and examinations.
The students are first trained In the
use OF their eyes and hands. One OF
the lessons consists in placing pupi
in the middle of a brilliantly lightec
room full of furniture. He Is left foi
a few seconds, when the room is dark
ened, and he is required to sketch
hastily complete map OF the room
indicating the position OF the furnl
ture.
After this he Is allowed TO look at 9
face for a moment or two. The SUDDEN
is then required to describe the fac,
and the color Of the hair and eyes. IL,
is afterwards required TO recognize a
photograph OF the face among several
hundred others.
The education OF the hand follows
The pupil is placed In a darkened room
full of curious and unusual objects
He Is required to touch them rapidly
and afterwards to recall exactly wha
he has touched and write a description
Of them. He must remember even tn.
slightest details. One OF the exercise,
consists in placing a jeweled knife be
fore him in the dark, which he Is al
lowed to touch only for a moment. AT
forwards he must tell by touch what
the jewels are-whetheT rubies, dia
monds or opals.

Nha, . Woman photographic sees.

A woman photographer, who gives
as much thought to each portrait
she makes, as any portrait painter,
says that she has a peculiar feeling
In peering through the camera Of
looking into the souls Of the sitlers.
Some people are able to stand this,
aud she likes them better after they
have been put to the test, while
Others she does net like as well. She
sees what the untouched photograph
often reveals, the true character of
the sitter unsoftened by color and
with all the lines exaggerated. The
portrait painter frequently reveals
characteristics in portrait ~hich
the world never suspected in the SUBJ

PECULIAR ACTIONS IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Gov. AyCoCK of North Carolina as
founded the country by Offering re-
wards aggregating thirty thousand dol
lars for the arrest and conviction OF the
lynchers of the two colored boys at
Salisbury, N. O., few months ago.
Judge SHAW issued the first bench
warrant of the kind ever known in the
state, July 18th for the arrest of party
alleged to have been guilty of theorime.
The charge is murder.
This has been our contention. The
taking of human life without the auth
ority of law constitutes murder and the
lynchers should be hanged dead by
their necl1s.
1t is peculiar fate that evolved such
a man as Gov. AYCoCK. Elevated TO
the governorship during troublous times
and as the alleged representative of
lawless elements, he has shown great
er respect for fundamental principles
than did Gov. RUSSELL, the Republican
hypocrite whom he succeeded.

"The president soon came in and all
were introduced. The president shook

whose height was about five feet six
inches. Sir said the president to him,

A voting TeleErnnh-

There is only one reference TO me-
chanical voting in the thirteen reports
onforeign parliame nts which have lust
been issued. This occurs in a mem oran-
dunn on the subject of divisions in the
reichstag and Prussian landtag. AS
long ago as 1869 a motion was intro
duced In the Prussian lower house
In favor of establishing a system
called the voting telegraph, an cleo
trio invention designed by the firm of
Siemens ~ Halske. Each membe
was TO have at his place a handle to
turn to right or left az he wished to
vote yes" or no" and this handle
could be turned only by the member
TO whom the seat belonged, each kew
to whom the seat belonged, each mem
Der being provided with special key.
The time for taking the votes of the
lower house would according to this
scheme have occupied less than two
minutes. There were no practical OBJ
jections made to the machine, but it was
rejected, partly because no pressing
need existed for shortening the divi-
sions, and partly on account Of the
advantages of the oral process of vot-
ing.-London Chronicle

waste words. Jackson's practice was
to speak of the northern troops as
Mexicans. He very rarely called
them anything else. DIR. Hunter Nc
Guire, his medical director, is my au-
thority for this statement.
Stonewall Jackson died in house
that is still standing at Guinea sta
ton, in Virginia, on the line of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
railroad. His left arm was amputated
at the shoulder, being taken out of
the socket. When he closed his eyes
in death his little daughter, then two
or three years old, lay on his breast,
with his right arm over her. His
dying words were: pass the in
fantry rapidly to the front" Tell
A. P. Hill to prepare for action"
1--WE will pass over the river and rest
under the shade of the trees on the
opposite side" He was delirious and.
like NapoleOn's, his mind, as it feebly
fulfilled it's last offices, was with his
military past.

lines, sat down under tree almost
discouraged. A staff officer who

piled: They are building fires to

Sunday, July IS, 1902 He was born in
Franklin, Ind, sixty-two years ago. He

In conjunction with DIR. NJ. MACVI-
CAR, he was the moving spirit in the
Founding of the Virginia Union Univer-
ssity in this city of which the former is
president.
BE spent the best years of his life in
behalf of the colored people, by the side
yof whom he fought during the years of

His death has cast gloom over the
educational institutions of the South
Land and sympathy will be expressed by
Shose who knew him best and profited
by his tireless efforts in behalf of hu-
znanity.
While not agreeing with all of his poll

recognition of his past services
Should be the distinguishing feature of

their home port, but this time he
seemed TO be unjGy--a sin never before
imputed TO this chief fireman. How.
ever, amid all his cross words and
angry seedlings, he said nothing to
Lyle, who, indeed, labored as he had
never done before.
One evening (they expected TO reach
San Francisco the next day. Edward
Lyle went wearily TO his bunk in the
starboard alleyway. Usually he
dropped around to see Forbes, but he
did not feel equal to it now, though he
was hungry to talk of Her.
His bunk was dark, and he fumbled
under the mattress for matches. When
he found the box he struck light and
lit the little bracket on the bulkhead.
As it burned up his eye caught new
thing. He looked again, long and earn
estly. Then he blew out the lamp and
pressed his face blindly against the
bulkhead. On his searching lips he felt
two flaming, loving, quivering woman's
lips, and the young fireman gave and
took his first kiss.
But it was simply photograph awls.
