Life After Death.

A German biologist has been invest-
eating the question of the activity of
animal bodies after death and has pub
lished some suggestive conclusions. 1t
appears that death is not instantane-
GUS throughout the physical organism.
for it has been observed that many of
The different tissues continue active for
Il considerable period after the time
when the animal is assumed to be dead,
particularly in the case of the lower an
lmals. Cells from the brain of frog,
for example, have been kept alive for
over a week when held in certain solu-
lions. and the heart of a frog has been
known to beat for many hours after be-
Ing removed from the dead body. The
hearts of turtles and snakes will beat
for days or even week after death

Famous Mouted Hou.e..

The moat which so often surrounded
halls and castles in the old days is now
generally dry and filled up, but some
remarkable specimens still remain.
Perhaps the finest example of moated
house is Helmingllam Hall, the seat of
Lord Tollcmache, in Suffolk, about
eight miles from Ipswich. The draw
bridge still remains, and it has been
raised every night for more than 800
years, the ancient precnution being OBJ
served even though the need for it has
long passed by. The moat which sur
rounds Leeds castle, near Maidstone, Is
SO wide that 1t may almost be called
lake. The ancient Episcopal palace ut
Wells is surrounded by wallis which In
close nearly seven acres Of ground and
by moat which is supplied with wa
ter from st. Andrews Well A vener-
able bridge spans the moat, giving ac-
cess through q tower gateway to the

School Nctes.

The state inspector of high
schools dropped in upon US yes
terday. H. expressed himself
in the evening as having spent
a pleasant and profitable day.
He spoke very fayorably of the
progress of the high school. In
the afternoon Prof. Shimek
went out with the classes in
botany and physical geography.
The pupils considered this a
rare treat as Professor Shimek
is at the head of the depart
ment of botany in the state
university. 1t was interesting
to hear the pupils report what
they had learned from the ex-
cursion.
At the opening exercises in
the high school assembly room
at Ills, Professor Shimek
talked for about one half hour
on the Preservation of Nature.
His talk was very suggestive
and highly appreciated. We
shall be glad to have the Pro-
fessor with us again.

Dear Sir: | wish to advise you
that | have been appointed
Western Representative in Ne
braska, North and South Da-
kota, Main Line of the C. & N.
w. r. R., Sioux City, Ia, to
Co. Bluffs, Ia, and Omaha,
Nebr., including these cities,
for the st. Louis Service Co., a
company corporated with a cap
ital of S20,OOO.OO and run by
the various railroads, as you
will note by the attached circu-
lar.
The object of the st. Louis
service company is to appoint a
good live agent in each town or
village who will sell application
tickets for S1.0O each, which
will secure at st. Louis during
the Worlds Fair room or ac-
commodations with or without
board at any price the applicant
may desire.
For instance: a person wishes
to go to st Louis and spend the
first week in June, they pay
81 90 and send the stub of the
application ticket to the ST..
Louis Service Co. stating they
wish a room for this period
with breakfast or three meals a
day, as the case may be; they
state if they wish to pay $500
or $25.O0 a week; they state If
they wish to be down town or
within two or six blocks of the
exposition grounds. The St.
Louis Service Co. mails them a
postal giving them the address
of location which they have Sc
cured for the party and attach
ed to this postal is a reply card
which they send to the St.
Louis service Co. about a week
before leaving, giving date
train number and date and
time of arrival in st. Louis,
Whereupon a Messenger Boy
with Yellow Cap meets the pas
senger upon arrival, places
them on the right street car,
looks after their luggage and if
they wish to take a hack or cab
advises how much to pay the
driver and thus avoid excessive
prices and they are sure of just
the kind of a room they ask for.
If they wish $500 room they
pay $500, no more or no less.
These accommodations can he
had in all quarters of st. Louis,
the leading hotels, boarding
houses, private families, etc.
