Spontaneous Combustion.

Mr.. Karl Albecker has recently
observed a curious case of burning
writes the Vienna correspondent OF
the Medical Record, which In all its
details suggests the instances OF
spontaneous combustion spoken of in
the older textbooks. and proves that
our understanding OF the combusti-
bility OF the human body Is very Inn
perfect. The body OF an excessively
alcoholic adult was found n morn
ing completely charred and shriveIed
to the size of a child's body.
There was no evidence of a con-
f~lagration In the place where the
body was found. An enormous
amount OF fuel would have to be
consumed In order to bring about
such complete destruction OF the soft
parts. and even the large bones. 1t
seems rational to accpet the old view
that the fat OF the body surface melts
and s~aturates the clothing, and that
this then maintains the flame. like q
wick saturated with oil.

Liverpool and slavery.

although Liverpool has over 700,-
600 inhabitants and boasts of an enor-
nous trade. dwellers In our newer
cities must not think that she has
been commercially great for centuries"
writes Jerome Hart. "As a matter OF
fact, Liverpool has reached her present
pre-eminence since California became
a state. II is true that before that
time there were many wealthy mer-
chants there. but the foundation for
the Liverpool merchants fortunes was
laid in slave trading. John Gladstone,
the father of the grand old man. made
his enormous fortune in slave fading
and slave labor in the West Indies.
William Ewart Gladstone, in his youth.
defended slavery. but in later years
attacked it--after his fathers slave
worked plantations had been sold
"As | looked at the great city OF
Liverpool. with it's magnificent system
of docks and quays, along which &c.
600 seamen daily walk, | could scarce
ly repress my horror when | reflected
that it was built upon the bodies OF
negro slaves. But then | remembered
that New England's merchants used
to ship rum to Africa, sell the fire.
water to the natives, kidnap them
when they were drunk, jam them be-
tween decks, ross the water to our
southern states, throw overheard the
dead bodies about one day out and then
sell slaves to southern planters at
1000 per cent profit.
This was the foundation OF many
of New England's large fortunes. No
wonder that those merchants grand
sons dislike discussions on tainted
money But | found myself contem-
plating New England's slave trade with
less horror than that of Liverpool"

FENCE or MOOSE ANrLsas.
Twenty-Five Hundred Of Them Used
70 a Stone Wall.

A Very old Indian tradition says
the New York Suns, that all the bull
moose Of eastern and northern Maine
make journeys to the west shores Of
Moosehead lake at the close OF the
year for the purpose of casting their
antlers. Though the story has passed
for fiction among the Caucaasian resi-
dents. there are not a few old hunters
and woodsmen who believe 1t. and re-
late tales about the abundance OF
moose antlers among the maple woods
Rs miles north Of this village.
Charles Anance. a ~half-breed, says
that be filed two boxcars with discard
ed antlers six years ago. and shipped
them to New York where cutlery anu
facturers purchased the lot for knife
handles. He cleared $500 from a weeks
work.
The first white man who used his
knowledge was old ICY" Blanchard,
father Of Cyrus Blanchard, a member
of Gov. Cobb's council. The old man
was the owner Of vast timber tracts
in Piscataquis county, and when the
land was sold to settlers the town Of
Blanchard was named for him.
AS he grew old he built a big house
In the north part of the town and sur
rounded It With a high stone wall.
browning the slate coping with a dense
fence Of moose antlers, all OF WHICH
had been picked up among the woods
west Of the lake. About 80 years ago.
when q star route mail line was put
on between Blanchard and Monson,
a postotfice was established near the
big Blanchard house, and 1t is still
known as Moosehorn. ~ ~ W
More than $500 moose antlers have
been placed on top of the Blanchard
stone fence since 1t was built, though
most of them have been broken by
now and ice or eaten by insects.
The moose Of Maine drop their ant
lers from December Is to January i,
though a few very aged ones may re-
tain these ornaments until February.
Old hunters say that they could go out
among these woods so years ago and
pick up a hayrack of fine antlers in a
forenoon, though they have not been
S plentiful OF late.
Though moose antlers will keep for
an indefinite time when housed and
removed from moisture, they fall to
pieces very fast when left In the woods.
Those shed in the winter remain firm
until spring but as Don as warm
weather arrives a small borer gets into
them and reduces them to fine powder
in a few weeks. Though thousands Of
antlers are dropped in the Maine for
ests every winter. no hunter ever finds
one the next summer.

Fishing In Motor boats.

Automobile fishing boats are ply
Ing the brine off Great Britain. Com
petition among the fishermen on the
east coast OF England and Scotland
has resulted IN a motor fishing boat
of eighty tons displacement, seventy
five feet long. twenty-five feet wide,
and fitted with a gasoline engine OF
twenty-four horse power running at
800 revolutions per minute. The n
CINE, which Is used only when winds
are adverse, or lacking, a give the
craft a speed OF five miles per hour.
II does not Interfere with either the
storage of fish or the manipulation
OF sails. and replaces In Its weight
merely In extent that the ballast pre-
viously carried. The idea Is TO allow
individual crews to get their catch to
market as soon as do the present
fleet of "drifters.' who employ a
steam craft to collect fish from each
member of the feet In turn. The III
tire catch Is then hurried to port,
while the fishermen remain on the
ground and continue their work. II
the pioneer boat fulfls its anticipa-
ted destiny a numer Of similar craft
are expected to be built.
