The Ingenious Chinese.

Peter Sands of Castle Valley, com.
pleted recently tour Of the world.
Of the people he conversed with the
Chinese most impressed him. This is
what he says on this topic:
"They tell you the French are eco
nomical and ingenious. They point
out to you how the French train rats
to clean the flesh from bones that are
used in manufacturing and they de-
clare this people, when they kill rats,
use their skins for gloves, their furs
for caps, their bones for toothpicks
and their tendons for gelatine. All
that may be true.
But in certain parts of China they
have trained gulls that fish for them,
and good gull will fetch its master
from so to 100 pounds of fish day.
They have trained cats that kill little
birds for them-30 or 40 birds, maybe,
to an animal, and they have trained
dogs that, day in and day out, work
like Trojans keeping the crows out
of the rice fields. s."-Philadelphia Re-

prior to their changing hands they had
been brought to light by the fortuitous
aid of plowshare driven by laborer
over the soil of his native Limavaoy,
which is in the northwest of Ireland.

The proceedings were instituted by
Ihe solicitor of the treasury. The law
as to treasure-trove was laid down by
Sir Edward Coke: "Treasure-trove is
when any gold or silver in coin, plate,
or bullion hath been of ancient time
hidden, wheresoever it be found,
whereof no person can prove any prop

The crown. But it has to be clearly es-

Audible Railway Signals.

The Northern of France Railway
makes use of a system of audible sig.
nails to indicate when the distant sig
nal is at caution. Between the rails
is placed an insulated brass plank
about feet inches long. This is SO
arranged that when the distant is at
caution a wire brush fitted to the en-
gine passes in contact with the plank
and operates a whistle in the cab.
This requires the fitting Of each dis
tant signal with the necessary batter
les and their up-keep, as well as the
engines themselves; but they do not
seem to find this very much, and are
quite satisfied with the system.

A Story on the Kaiser.

An amusing story is going the founds
in artistlc circles in Berlin about the
German emperor. A certain portrait
painter had executed a remarkably
good portrait of his little son, repre-
senting the latter as sitting on his
mothers lap, very much the same as
the child in the painting of Rubens.
Everyone admired the portrait i'm
mensely; not so the little boy how
ever, who was teased so much by his
schoolfellows for being painted with
nothing on that the poor little chap
came crying to his father, and be-
sought him with many sobs, to "any
way, paint q shirt onto him" The
painter was so ticlkled at this that he
told the story to the emperor one day
while his majesty was paying a visit
to his studio. The kaiser was ex.
tremely amused, and when giving in
structions before leaving about a por-
trait of himself which he desired the
painter to execute for him. added, with
a laugh, "but not in your little

VOLCANO VICTIMS svFFocATEn.
The Cause OF Death In Martinique and
81. Vincent.

Ih0 cause OK De@th In MArtfuhqu9 mnu
~. Vincent.
A question that arises in the medi-
cal mind, on reading the stories Of the
st. Pierre diasater, is as to the exact
cause OF death. The newspaper ac-
counts suggest direct burning or over
whelming with the volcanic dust The
Philadelphia Medical Journal, discus
sing this subject, says that "A consid-
cradle proportion of the deaths might
be due to suftocation by noxious gases,
Among such would be carbon dioxide,
commonly called carbolic acid, and
sulphurous acid. The formerly is not
actively poisonous and would not be
the cause OF death unless present in
considerable proportion, but the latter
gas is highly irrespirable and even a
small proportion of it will render air
go irritating that suffocation must en-
sue. One Of the most famous erup-
tions in history, that Of Mt. Vesuvius,
in A. D., 7S, has been described by the
younger Pliny from notes left by his
uncle, who lost his life in an effort to
rescue a friend. The narrator states
that the death Of the elder Pliny was
due to fumes of sulphur. Even maxi
ing allowance for the imperfect identi-
f1cation of chemical substances at that
early period, we may safely assume
that by such an expression sulphurous
acid was indicated, since this gas was
undoubtedly familiar; indeen, it is
mentioned in the Odyssey as a disin-
fectant. The Roman writer further
adds that the body was untouched by
fire. In some of the recent reports
from Martinique specific mention is
made Of the same suffocating influen-
ces."
Professor A. e. Verrill, of Yale. in
communication TO Science (New
York; says that during many years Of
teaching goolcgy, he has held in op-
position to most textbooks on the
subject that explosive gases are
evolved during violent volcanic erup-
tions, and that the flames seen by eye
witnesses do actually exist, independ-
ent of lightning and the glow of the
hot lava reflected from the jet Of
steam, ETC., which are usually given as
the explanation of the appearance Of
names. My view" he continues, has
been that the heat is sufficient to cause
the dissertation of hydrogen and oxy-
gen from the water, on coming sud-
denly into contact with hughly heated
lava; and in case Of sea-water the
chlorine would also be dissociated
from the sodium. These gases sud-
denly elected with great violence and
exploding in the air above the crater,
would produce precisely the effects
witnessed on an unusually large scale
at Martinique. Tie people were mostly
killed by the sudden explosion Of
vast volume of hydrogen and oxygen,
which will account for the sudden
burning Of flesh and clothes, as well as
of the buildings and vessels, The
chlorine, at the same time, combining
with some of The hydrogen would pro-
duce hydrochloric acid, a poisonous
and suffocating gas, which would
quickly kill most of these not instant

Rev. DR.. Buckley at Sea airt.

The Rev. DR.. Buckley who was
among the guests invited to meet
President Roosevelt at Sea Girt, has
an interesting account of that occa-
sion in the Christian Advocate, from
which we quote:
"We stood on the outskirts of the
crowd. The President spoke very
distinctly and with great vigor. His
energetic gesticulations interested
those who stood so far away that
they could not hear. The crowd
were all happy, though the detention
of the morning made it impossible for
the governor to present to him indi-
vidually the three or four hundred
invited guests.
Such free and easy interviews be-
tween the President and the people
are in harmony with the democratic
character of our institutions. The
austere Harrison pleased the people
greatly after he began to bend, and
left a reputatoin for off hand speeches
which will hardly be taken away
from him. Mr.. Mckinley was the
peoples charmer. President Roose-
velt, like both of his predecessors has
a style peculiar to himself, particu-
larly taking to the young and vigor-
Gus, and not much less so to those
who, having been of strenuous type
in their youth, seem to live their
days over again as they listen to one
who, by energy ana public service,
forced his way to the front without
moving down everyone in his path. -

MORRIS ACADEr1Y NOTES.

The efforts of those who have the
success of the Morris Academy at
heart are untiring even during the
summer months and III consequence
the Academy will reopen on the 10th
OF September better equipped than
ever, and with an outlook for the
most successful year since it's reor-
ganization.
To the already capable force of
teachers has been added fourth in
structor, who will do much to add to
it's efficiency. The school has been
fortunate in securing the services of
Lewis G.. ssBrearley, whose experience
has unquestionably been of the best?
Mr.. Brearley prepared for college
at the Lawrenceyille Preparatory
School in Lawrenceville, N. j., where
after his graduation he taught for
three years in the HawrencevilIe
Public School. His work is strongly
endorsed by A. W. Hartwell, Superin-
tendent of Schools for Mercer County.
He will teach mathematics, and La
tin.
. He entered Amherst College and
was graduated in the class of 1909,
receiving the hearty appreciation of
several members of the faculty, both
for his work and character. He is an
efficient, painstaking teacher, and
will command the esteem of those
who form his acquaintance. Mr..
Brearley played left field one.season on
the Amherst base ball team and will
be of help to the boys training for
the Academy team. The school rooms
have also been improved, and several
forms have been added to meet it's
needs, while it's attractiveness has
been increased by the addition of
several engravings. The library
begun last year and which is proving
of great usefulness to the students
has been increased by set of ency-
clopedia, and the school will reopen
better equipped in every way to
further establish the successful repu-
tation it has already attained.
