An Apple Trees Roots.

For the purpose of erecting a suita
BILE monument in honor of Roger VIII
liams, the founder of Rhode Island, his
private burylng ground was searched
for himself and wife. 1t was found
that everything had passed into oblivi
on. The shape of the collins could be
traced only by the carbonaceous mat
ter. The rusted hinges and nails and q
round wooden knot remained in one
grave, while a single knot of braided
hair was found in the other.
Near the graves stood an apple tree
This had sent down two main roots
into the very presence of the cofIined
dead The larger root, pushing its way
to the precise spot occupied by the
skull of Roger Williams, had made q
turn as if passing around it and fol
lowed the direction Of the backbone to
the hips. Here 1t divided into two
branches, sending one along each leg to
the heel, where both turned upward
toward the toes. One of these roots
formed slight crook at the knees,
which made the whole bear a striking
resemblance to the human form.

How Coal Resembles Ice.

The Electrical Review calls attention
to an interesting explanation of the
burning Of coal. Coal petroleum and
illuminating gas are related to one an
other much as are ice, water and
steam. For this reason perfect com
bustion of liquid fuel is already ad-
vanced long step toward vaporiza-
ton, just as ice is advanced toward
steam when turned into water. The
volatile elements of coal are locked up
in solid form, or virtually frozen solid.
Professor Dewar demonstrated how
great an amount of heat must be tax
en- from the so called permanent gases
to make them liquid and how much
more to make them solid. Yet nature
has soliditied gas into the form of coal,
and solid coal, like solid ice, will only
dissolve into vapor through the eX-
penditure of heat

Smells of Cities.

A famous English artist insists that
each city has its own peculiar odor;
that a stranger can smell city-"the
great, blended odor of the entire city,
There is truth in his remarks. When
a stranger enters Munich, there is a
smell as of many breweries-a pecul-
lar, swedish, yet pungent OdOr of malt,
not at all unpleasant to beer drinker.
After day or two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell is distinct in his
memory; it eXerts SPELL it urges him
10 drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been in Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunts us still. Paris has pc
culiarly individual odor; so has Lon
don, so has Berlin, so has Dresden.
Boston no doubt has its own smell,
which is highly respectable, rather
musty, with a suspicion of old family
cockroacheS.
