Mayor Charles s. Kirschler Of Allie

figuring on plans for the construction
of a gigantic retaining wall which will

Pittsburg special to the New York

high and twenty feet wide at the top,
The wall will be of concrete, and the
grave! for making the concrete win be
obtained by dredging the bottom OF the

The Allegheny is one of the very

has gravel bed, and by dredging 1t
not only win material for the concrete
wall be had, but the channel will be
widened and deepened MS well. The

money to be contributed by property
owners along the river.

Oscillation Until After Marriage.
If the plans of the Rev L. d. Bass
Of the Calvary Baptist church at Cairo,
H., be carried out kiss will be an
unknown quantity until after mar
rage, says a Cairo special to the New
York World. Because he believes that
evil in abundant supply turks in a poor
little kiss he has started an antikiss-
ing crusade among the members of his
church, which has spread to other de-
nominations, and as a result oscular
ton is about the most talked Of sub
ject in town.
Church members and even those who
are not church members are divided
over the matter. Mr.. Bass preached a
sermon recently in which he said that
the kiss devil did more to fill hell than
the whisky devil, drug evil and the
other devils put together.
1.-THE kiss" said DIR. Bass, Should
not be enjoyed by lovers until they be-
! come husband and wife.
"In the old days in the SOUTH" he
! says, IF n man even attempted to kiss
o young lady it was considered an Of
Tense for no worse than which men are
nowadays lynched. At any rate II
meant coffee and pistols for two, and
do not know but what 1t would be Q
good idea If even such extreme meas
ures were in vogue today. At any rate
It would not send so many trusting
and frail young souls to the everlast
ing fire."
Many pastors have taken exception
to DR. Bass statement, and the Rev
@. II. Armstrong of the Lutheran
church said that he could not indors'
the other minister's views.
"a kiss Of lover to his sweethear
at parting or at meeting is sweet anC
pure, and to my mind no harm can re
suit kissing has for ages and age
been the token of endearment Ger
tainly, though, the most pure thing
when perverted make the worst in
struments for evil"

ciety, but the young men Of the con
gregatlon do not take kindly to tn

Mystery of Shoe laces.

Probably no trade secrets are more
jealousy guarded than the modus
operandi employed by manufacturers
OF shoe laces. The braiding process
is the main bone of contention. being
the most intricate end of the work.
Lest counterfeiters should attempt to
duplicate sections, there are no auto.
matte shoe lace making machines
placed on the market. either i'm this
country or abroad. In order to in.
sure protection against possible spies
about the plant, different parts of the
machine are wrought or cast at vari-
Gus distant points, whence they are
shipped to headquarters and there
put together. In the assembling of
the divisional members the utmost
care is exercised that no prying eyes
are around the factory. In some in
stances the artisans are sworn to Sc
crecy.

sham, who brought the skin to Ma

measured 80 feet six inches.
AT the time it was shot the con
strictor had just seized a deer by the
nose and was choking off its wind
The constructor received a charge Of
buckshot full in the neck and fell
without a struggle. The wound is
now represented by a Jagged hole in
the skin about three inches in diam
eter
Mr.. Wickerham says he has seen
one constructor even larger. 3G feet.
For the purpose of convincing the
skeptcal that there are such mon
sters in these islands he has agreed

SLEEP AND DEATH
BOTH NATURAL OCCURRENCES
AND WITHOUT PAIN.
Reasoning Proves That There Can Be
No Consciousness at the instant
OF Either-Working Of
Natural Law.

The phenomenon called sleep may
be summed up In the following Dropo-
sitions. says a writer in the Cosmo-
politan:
First-Sleep is temporary death OF
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Second This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform it's functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under three heads, natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss of sensibility by
the sensitive organs which precedes
sleep now takes place in the vital
system. and all the organs pass into
permanent sleep together. There can
be no pain preceding or at the mo-
ment of such death, any more than
there is pain preceding and at the mo-
ment Of passing into temporary sleep
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritability OF
both sensitive and vital organs 1t
requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken
dead can suffer no pain. The ele-
ment of time must be present in or
der to suffer physical pain, and in
the sudden death of a person the ele-
ment of time is absent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form
of death, namely, death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established,
dying begins, which is but a more
rapid than natural ceasing of all SEN
sibiiies. accompanied with more or
less suffering, according to the cause
which produces it. This dying and
suffering, called disease, must termin-
ate either in so-called death, which is
to it, or in recovery,
which is the removal of the cause of
1t. But in any event the sutferlng has
been endured, no matter whether the
final termination is death or re-
covery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking
into natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by supreme agony or in
any other way, be conscious of pass
ing into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events
IN the life history of our bodies, and
we shall know no more about the lat
ter event at the time it occurs than
we did about the former
