who Jumped We're not seriously injured.

AGAINST IMPURE COFFEE.
Effort by International Coffee Con-
gress to Compel Use of Pure Cof-
fees in Armies and Nayies

At the third session of the interna-
tional coffee congress, held at the cof-
fee exchange in New York city, re-
port was submitted for future discus
sion by the committee on consumption.
Three recommendation were present.
ed, as follows:
Recommending to all the govern
ments and producing and consuming
countries the compulsory use of the
pure coffee in the armies and navies.
Recommending to the governments
and countries which produce coffee that
they establish, as soon as possible, in
countries in which coffee is not now
consumed, places for the demonstra-
ton of pure coffee, and that coffee
producing and consuming countries
may prohibit the sale of adulterated
coffee and of substitutes bearing the
name of coffee, and in case this prohibi-
ton cannot be enforced that a heavy
duty be imposed on such articles.

To RESTORE HEART ACTION
EHssian Doctor Explains His At
tempt to Revive Circulation by
Use of Saline Solution.

A dispatch to the London Daily Mail
from st. Petersburg gives the details
of an interview with DR.. Koulapye on
his attempt to restore circulation in
the human heart after it has stopped.
The doctor says the attempt pos
sesses great theoretical interest. Hith-
erto no attempt has been made to en-
ploy Locke's saline solution in produc-
ing artificial circulation in the case of
the human heart. 1t is not to be antic-
ipated that the resistance of the heart
is so enormously great after natural
death.
1t is remarkable that in certain
forms of diseases the stoppage of the
heart or the semblance of death of the
heart is not due to exhaustion, but to
the accretion Of certain substances,
probably of an animal nature. Meta
bolism of the tissue then takes place.
After this has been removed by wash
ing the rhythmic action of the heart
recommences.
DR.. Koulapye added that the practi-
cal value of the discovery should not
be exaggerated.

LAKE GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
Figures Given Out by the Treasury
Bureau Show That There Has
Been a Falling or.

A summary of the internal trade
movement for the current year up to
the month of August has just been
completed by the treasury bureau OF
statistics. For the first 35 weeks OF
the current year the flour and grain
shipments from Chicago and Chicago
points do not compare favorably with
those of the corresponding period OF
1901. This year to the end OF August,
1O0,573 barrels of flour and 1,423,000
bushels of grain were the weekly av-
erage shipments, compared with 49,
923 barrels of flour and ZOO BUSH
els of grain last year. Provisions av-
erage 21,676 tons per week for 1902 and
23,766 tons in 1901.
On the great lakes the freight tom
mage continues to exceed that of last
season. During August last year $780,
973 tons of freight were reported as
received at domestic ports. This year
for the corresponding period 1884, 63
tons of receipts were reported for 141
different ports.
The total of all classes of freight re-
ceipts in domestic trades on the lakes
in 1901 to August 81 was 25,6S8, 230 tons.
For the like period of this year receipts
were 32,703,5S9 tons. The registered
tonnage moved thus far this season
amounted to 46,635, 0S5 tons, represent
ing 1870 vessels clearing and 45,63S,-
052 tons, representing 40, 155 vessels ar
irving.

COCOANUT SHELLS AS FUEL.
Candy Manufacturers of New York
City Find New Use for the
Refuse.

East side confectionery manufac-
turers of New York are supplying CO.
coanut shells for fuel. Patrons of
these places have tided over cold
weather in former years by buying
these shells by the bag, the price be-
ing five cents. This year the demand
has been unprecedented. The pro-
viders, too, are short of coal them
selves and they have made some use
of the shells. The dealers are now
discriminating. Their customers are
charged from 10 to Is cents a bag,
while to outsiders the price is higher.
Each bag contains from so to 60
pounds. The material furnishes more
heat than coal, and while it does not
burn as long as coal, its lasting quail
ity is much better than wood.

TO SAVE HISTORIC BUILDING.
Historical Society to Try and Get Ma
teriaI of Old Hall of Records for
Erection at Another Point.

1t has been decided that the old Hall
of Records in New York city, which was
used as prison in the days of the rev.
olution, shall be removed to make way
for the rapid transit tunnel. If posi-
BILE the Historical society will get pos
session of parts of the building, in the
hope that they may be put together
again on another site. Much senti-
nent surrounds the old building and it
was only after representations that
the building might collapse, owing to
the tunnel work, that Supreme Court
Justice Leventritt decreed its removal.
