They have a novel method in Siam
Of getting rid Of the bodies Of paupers
and criminals. In one Of the temples
Is kept a flock Of q hundred vultures,
and the bodies, instead Of being buried
or burned, are given to them as food.
AS soon as they catch sight Of body
the rapacious creatures gather around
it, and it only takes them a minute Or
two to pick all the flesh off it.
A repugnant sight it is, but, accord
ing to Siamese physicians, it is an ex-
cellent sanitary measure. The soil Of
Siam, they point out, is generally moist,
and hence it is much better that bodies
should be treated in this way than re-
placed in the ground, for, If buried,
they would surely prove more or less of
a menace to the public health.
After the vultures have finished their
feast the skeletons are placed in
wooden boxes and burned.

Concerning the alleged resemblance
between Christianity and Mohammed-
anism Rev. Napier Malcolm, In "Five
Years In a Persian Town." says:
There are really not many resem:
blances to note. An officer of Indian
troops replied to a Mussulman's sug-
gestion that there were resemblances
between the two religions. There is
hardly a single practical, point where
Mussulmans and Christians are not en-
trely at ISSUE whereupon the Mus
Sulman said: 'Sahib, you have read
POUR Bible and have also read the
Koran. always make that remark to
Christians. made it to a padre the
other day, and they almost always say:
Every true. Mohammedanism has q
great deal in common with Chris
hanity.." Well, sahib. when they say
that, I know that they have not read
the Koran and that they have not read
their Ribles.'"

Fair Notes.

There is the largest number O
poultry entries for the fair this yea
ever reported.
The hotels and boarding houses are
full to overflowing-the usual fair
time condition.
In addition to the governor, there
will be a number of the other state
officials present the last day.
The exhibition halls are we'll filed
up to the usual high standard.
NJ. F. Brown has the dining room
under horticultural hall this year
and will serve a course dinner eacf
day of the fair.
In the running race there are sever
entries, and unless the prophets are
wrong this event alone will be worth
the price of admission.
Never in the history of the fail
association has there been such a de.
mand for ground space, and a popu.
lous and busy midway is assured.
Good weather for the first day il
bringing in about the usual first day
attendance. The rain has laid the
dust and the track is in first class con.
dition.
Notwithstanding the license charge,
there is an abundance of vehicles fol-
transportation, and the familiar cry
of Fright away, - etc., is heard all
along the line.
There is always much interest in
the local race, and as there are six
entries in this event the chances al
that even more excitement than usual
may be expected.
With good weather the crowd this
year promises to be record breaker.
From Springfield and other towns on
the B. & A. word has been received
that they are all coming.
The new judges stand is complet-
ed, and is quite ornamental as we'll
as useful. The platform has been re-
modelled and the dressing rooms for
the performers are in the rear of the
stage in a new building constructed
for the purpose. -.
The firemen's ball Wednesday even
ing in the opera house will draw a
large attendance. Lynch's orchestra
will furnish music and Prof. Fields
will act as prompter. Each night of
the fair the Young American club
will hold a dance at their hall on

The Highest statrwnx.

For the ascent Of Mount Omi, on the
borderland between western China and
the Tibetan plateau, there Is an artifl-
cial staircase consisting Of 10000 steps
cut in slippery limestone. Who made
these steps is largely matter Of sur
mise, but they were probably formed by
religious enthusiasts to provide a means
of access from the hot plains, out of
which the mountain mass rises abrupt
ly to the heights, 5000 to 1000 feet
above, among which the Buddhist alb
hey Of Omi embodies some of the hOli
est traditions of the religion professed
by its inmates. Anyhow, the staircase
is there, and by it many pilgrims attain
to the shrine as well as the very few
Europeans who have ever visited this

From Jail to the Bench.

Francis Pemberton Q625-9O was i'm
prlsoned In the Fleet for debts con-
tracted during a period Of youthful ex-
travagance. While In Jail he applied
himself to the study Of law and came
to be regarded as kind Of legal oracle
by his fellow prisoners, who nicknamed
him Counselor. With the fees they
gave him for legal advice he bought
books to continue his studies. He then
prevailed upon his creditors to grant
his release from prison that he might
the sooner earn money to pay OF his
debts. Called to the bar In 1854, after
q brilliant career in the palace court at
Westminster and subsequently In the
house Of lords, he became a puisne
judge. He was knighted In 1915 and
ultimately, on the dismissal Of Scroggs,
was made lord chief Justice in 1881.

"CUTTlNG OVER"

How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From One Switchboard to Another.
Cutting over is the technical
phrase applied to moving the wires in
q telephone central Office from one
switchboard to another. If you will
reflect that many Of the switchboards
Of the type used in the Bell exchanges
Of large cities carry $500 lines, you
will see what a task transferring such
a mass of wires is. Indeed, there are
few mechanical operations which more
impress one with a sense of absolutely
perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be "cut
over" all the outside lines coming into
it, both overhead and underground, are
tapped and practically connected with
the new board while the old one Is still
in use That is to say, they are brought
into the main distributing frame,
which is the big rack through which
the outside lines are separated and
linked to the proper inside lines which
run directly into the switchboard and
terminate in the "jacks," by means Of
Ahich the operator is enabled to put
ton.
The opportunities for confusion and
mishaps in this work are evident, and
it speaks much for the painstaking care
with which it is done that a subscriber
is practically never "lost," as the tele-
phone engineer calls it, If one Of the
lines is temporarily disconnected. To
secure such perfection innumerable
tests are necessary not only Of the out
side lines, but of every switchboard
line, and these are conducted over a
long period so as in no way to disturb
the service of the subscriber.
The operators are thoroughly drilled
in the use Of the new board, and when
it comes to the actual performance of
cutting over" which generally takes
place some hour in the night when
business is always light, both boards
have a full force to work them. The
final step is to cut the old connections
and complete the new ones at the same
instant This is usually done by pull
ing out from the board to be abandon
ed the heat coils which are put into
every circuit in the distributing frame
as protection to the apparatus against
an overload Of electricity from light
ming or from the crossing Of wires, or
what not, and simultaneously pushing
coils into the mechanism that replaces
it. So rapidly can skilled men perform
the operation that one of them can put
600 or 700 coils in a place in thirty
seconds, and the whole process Of "cut-
ting OVER in a large Office occupies not
more than two minutes. There is no in
terruption Of service, however, for one
group Of wires is dealt with at time,
so that no circuit Is out Of commission
more than half a minute at the longest.
