Assistant Mergue Keeper.

IT respectfully recommend that a morgue
keeper and assistant morgue keeper be pro-
vided for. There should be some one on
duty at tho morgue day and night. The i'm
portance of this is readily recognized.
'1Fhe assistant morgue keeper should be
an intelligent and responsible man. The new
morgue also includes a stable. This will
require a hostler. who could also act as
janitor. The latter as janitor would go with
the wagon. assisting the morgue keeper in
removing bodies from building.
II should like again to emphasize the ne
cessity of appointing a stenegrapher espe-
cially for taking. testimony at inquests. AS
the present law provides, under the head Of
expenditures for photographic services 1t
would appear that the way Is open for the
creation of a coroner's stenographer. The
necessity for such assistance has been
urged repeatedly in former reports The
antfauated method of taking longhand notes
is not at all in keeping with the progress
that has been made in other branches of
our municipal government This stenog-
rapher could also act as clerk to the office.
When on occasions, as provided by law, the
coroner acts as marshal OF the District this
clerk could take charge of making out the
necessary papers, which at times involves
considerable clerical work. Numerous COM
municattons from out-of-town relatives of
deceased persons have to be answered. He
could also keep the records Of the office as
well as It's accounts.

Will Go Under Cortelyou.

The officials OF the printing office say that
IN certain sections of the office Anticipated
systems prevail and Intimate that this Is
the result of the power Of the various
trades unions. Together with this admis-
sion is the one that IT Is but a matter of a
short time when the office will pass to the
supervision Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. When this becomes a fact, by
the acton OF the President. who has that
prerogative in law. the progressiveness Of
Secretary Cortelyou will surely be brought
to bear upon the ofnce. and some Of the
antediluvtan methods Of doing work there
VIII receive a severe jolt. So Intense has
grown the controversy that an invesuga-
ton by Congress may be required to clear
the atmosphere and relieve the public mind.

How BERINa DIED-In the June
number of Harper's Magazine, Col
Inns Shackelford tells the true story
Of the fatal expedition of the Explorer
Bering, from whom Bering Straits are
named. Here is his account Of the
adventurer's death after the loss Of his
ship:
"Bering, who had been for some time
totally disabled, was brought ashore
on a hand barrow in boat and placed
in sheltering hollow, where his still
faithful men-a mere handful-had
cleared the snow from the sand. Even
then he was dying. His great age and
the hardships he had undergone on
this voyage made his struggle for life
hopeless.
His slow passing away was pathet-
ic and pitiful. In effect, he partially
buried himself alive. He lay under
the shelter Of tent, made from an old
sail. Long suffering had made him
childish and petulant. Each day and
all day his weakening hands were con-
stantly busted scraping down upon his
body, beginning at his feet, the sand
from the ridges on either side.
HE would submit to no interefer-
ence with this occupation, insisting
that the sand warmed him. When he
died, December 8, 1741, a month after
the landing, his body was already half
buried, and it needed but little work
on the part Of his skeleton comrades
to enclose this hero Of the Arctic re-
gions in a coffin or frozen sand.

LUNcHRooM STRATEaY.-He walked
into one Of the gilded palaces Of indi-
gestion and, taking seat at the table,
wearily ran his eye up and down the
bill Of fare. Comparing the figures
after the names with the amount Of
money he had in his pocket, he
thought for awhile and then asked for
a steak.
It was brought to him, and the gazed
at it with sadness on his face. Then
he tried to cut it. He might as we'll
have tried to cut through a granite
wall with a dull eraser, but still he
tried and still he failed. Then he call
ed the boy with the white coat.
Say" said the man with the hun
ger and the tough steak, Il can't cut
this meat"
The boy was silent for a moment,
and then he picked up the knife and
looked at the edge.
"One minute, SIR" he said, and then
he sped to the region Of the cook.
He came back in a moment, but he
did not bring another steak. He sim
ply handed the man with the hunger
a knife and remarked:
This knife Is sharper"

MORE THAN THE FIVE SENSES
Many Of our scientists, until quite re-
Gently, have been reluctant to admit
that a number Of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than
ours. So much new and undeniably
affirmatory evidence Is, however, now
being offered on this point that there
can be no longer any substantial rea-
son for doubling that the five senses
man imperfectly exercises are by no
means all that are possible to sentient
creatures.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to greater or less
degree almost universally present In
mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and In
sects, is what perhaps may be called
the sense Of localization. 1t enables
it's possessor, apparently by Its sole
use, to find a desired spot. 1t Is evil
IDENTIFY closely connected with an in
stinctive perfect memory Of distance
and direction. That the homing pig
con exercises it to some extent, though
undoubtedly aided by the landmarks 1t
recognizes, is indisputable, that the
honey bee has it in it's fulness and per-
fection cannot, after the careful ex-
periments of Albrecht Bethe in Ger
many, be doubted.
Examples in insects that possess an
X-ray sense, not only among Euro
pean but our own hymenoptera, can
be multiplied indefinitely. Only one or
two of the senses peculiar to the low
