interesting in itself and an invaluable
contribution to biology. The book
devotes itself to the search of an alb
solutely infallible sign of death, a
quest made important by what is
feared and believed to be a too prev
alent danger of burial alive. This is
the safeguard already called the Bris-
semoret-Ambard sign.
The instruments for obtaining the
sign are simple enough-a hypoder-
mic syringe and piece of litmus pa

with ease. The sign itself grows out
OF well-known fact, which is the
change that occurs in the liver and
spleen from the alkaline state of life
to the acid state in death. 1t may be
said without paradox that life is aka.

Experiments made show that this
change occurs with great rapidity. In
animals il Is noticeable within a quar-
ter-hour after the last breath. With

But two hours after death the process

a THLETES realize the importance
n of keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be good, the cir
culation perfect, sleep regular and
enough of it.
If the slightest catarrhal condition of
lungs or stomach is allowed to remain,
neither digestion nor sleep will be
strength-sustaining.
Those who lead very active lives,
like athletes, with good muscular de-
VeIopmenf, find the spring months
especially trying.
Athletes everywhere praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of a tonic that dispels phys

The vocation of some men may allow
them to endure the depressing feelings
incident to spring weather, but the
athlete must never allow himself 10 get

He must keep in the ''pink of condi-

In order to do this he must avail him

can rely.
Therefore athletes ere especially

Ia FIamInao,s PIumaae.

There are about seven species of
famingoes, three of which are in
America, frequenting the Bahamas,
Florida and Cuba, says the Scientific
American. In height the famingo av-
erages about five feet. If its curved
neck were stretched to it's full length
the bird would tower above the head
Of an ordinary man.
During May and June, the breeding
time, the birds bright-colored plum
age is faded, but reassumes its most
radiant hues in winter. When first
Matched the young have straight bills,
which, after a time, develop into a
bent shape.
The first plumage is grayish white,
and passes through various .tints of
pink, rose, carmine or vermilion to
the full scarlet of the adult, which
reaches its deepest shade on the
wings. Several years are necessary
to perfect the final gaudy plumage.

Foxy St. Petersburg Criminals.

The burglars and forgers of st.
Petersburg have the reputation of be-
ing the best-educated criminals in
the world. Their "obstchestvo," or
society, meets regularly in different
parts of the capital, receives subscrip-
tions and appoints officers, including
a paid secretary. No newspaper is
published, but the society maintains a
"spravotschnoe bureau" or "informa-
ton Office" which supplies members
with facts as to new appliances of
crime, the actions of the police and
the whereabouts of fellow members.
The society has agents on the Ger
man frontier who undertake to snug
gle any criminal, however well known
his features, out of the country.

A bill collector called several times

he approached the house from the op-

parte and Louis Philippe were enter
talned there. John Jacob Aston, how
ever was not charmed by its literary
and political associations, or its nat
ural beauty. But he did see 4hat the
clty.was inching up to Richmond Hill,
and that it would soon be needed for
building lots. Richmond Hill, too,
was heavily mortgaged-the mort
gage payable in July, 1904. About
this time Burr became involved in his
quarrel with Hamilton. His letters
to Theodosia show that the sale Of
Richmond Hill was the only possible
way OF forestalling ruin. So, as his
mortgage became due, and just one
month before the Hamilton duel. AS
tor bought the place for 100000. I'm
questionably this money facilitated
Burr's flight; perhaps it was used, who
knows, in his wild Southwestern
scheme? Burr returned to New York
after his miserable wanderings in Eu-
rope, but never succeeded in rehabil-
itating himself. His old law clients
stunned him; his former friends ig-
nored him; the only faithful ones
were his creditors. Among these was
Aston, who acquired. piece by piece

THE NAvY's ENGINEERING NEED.


THE NAvY's ENGINEERING NEED.
There is one feature which it is not
too early to emphasize in the prelimin-
airy comment invoked by the explosion
on the Bennington. The navy is in
great need of naval engineers, special
ly trained as such. We may never re-
turn to corps, for there seems to be
a firmly rooted prejudice against such
an organization for some reason which
is generally withheld; certainly, the
objections raised by the possible return
to the old strife between the line and
engineers should not stand in the way
of obtaining for the service the best
officers and the best men to be had on
board a ship of war in the engine and
firerooms. It would be absurd to claim
that the Bennington could have been
spared the explosion which caused such
loss of life if the navy were In possess
sion of an engineer corps, No one is in
position to make such an assertion.
| But it remains a fact which no one
will dispute, either, that the service is
badly crippled for lack of specially
| trained naval engineers, whose place
is but poorly taken by the so-called
| fighting engineer In the interest of the
protection of our ships and the lives
of the people upon them, it is absolute
ly necessary that the navy have body
of officers and men who know all there
is to know concerning the care and the
operation fthe engines and boilers of
our vessels of war. 1t will cost this
| Government a great deal in the mere
trouble of rehabilitation if there is not
a change in the situation. Perhaps
something is being accomplished by
1.-THE new system of detailing the line Of
Ulcers to engineer duty, but so far there

CARPETS HEATED BY WIRES.

Electric Device Warns Rugs, Car
riage Robes And Houses.
The thermopile is one of the most in
genious contrivances ever devised. It's
originator is Frenchman, M. Camille
Herrgott, Of Belfort, France. BY the
aid Of the thermopie it is possible to
furnish heat by means of fine electric
wire of peculiar construction, which
can be woven into any covering, such
as rugs, blankets or cushions, and all
that is required is very small electric
battery.
The inventor claims that his marvel
o.s little heating apparatus will do
away with the necessity of ever hav-
ing fires in even the coolest weather.
The thermopile is SO constructed that
it can be tucked in the hem of blank
ct, run through the seam of a rug, hid
den In the cushion of chair, placed
under the springs Of a couch, affixed to
a carriage robe, inserted in footstooL
arranged in the seat of a carriage,
placed in the coaches of a train or on
the cars of an electric tramway. In
short, the thermopile may be brought
into use wherever heat is required. In
any house, shop or factory where an
electric current is already present for
lighting purposes the thermopile can be
utilized by means OF fabrics of wool
cotton or hemp, and the sheen and
elegance of any material cannot be
marred by the insertion of the little
heating device, nor would its fiexibility
or any other quality be lessened.
There is no danger attached to the
use of this device for the thermopile is
its own circuit breaker, and con-
sequenty mistake in attaching, a de-
feet in any part, or any other accident
would not do more than stop the pass
age of the current.
The thernopile certainly opens up a
vista of delight if its use should be-
come at all general during the wintrJ
weather. Imagine going UP to your
bedroom some cold night, when the
thermometer outside registers below
zero and the atmosphere inside is no
much above freezing point, to find {
heated blanket or quilt ready to throw
over you when you turn out the lign
and jump into bed!
The temperature can be so regulated
that the blanket will not become un
comfortable, nor will 1t be burden
some, for the thermopile is a littl
thing and very light. In fact, it /
only a thread and button, the latte
serving as a circuit breaker.
"A room in which several of thes
queer little heaters are placed can b
