NO CLEW ISFOUND

Body fire Victim at May
field Lies in Morgue But the
Mystery Deepens Rather

BELIEF IN MURDER THEORY

Mayfeld, KY, Feb. 6.--(Special.) }
No progress has been made in the
last "a hours in learning the identity
of the man burned up in the Parker
boarding house IRE, or the GAUGE OF
the fire. Belief that it is a case OF
murder is settling down to a fixed
certainty, but no motive for the
crime and no clew to the perpetrator
seem to have been discovered No In
quest has been held and the body Is
stiIn on exhibition. The coroner
hopes to have ID identified as the first
step toward umaveling the mystery
before it is buried. The cold weather
has assisted in this design, although
the body probably will be buried to-
morrow.

SACRED TO WILD LIFE.

In one Of the magazines a charm.
ing account is given of the sanctu-
airy for birds established some time
ago in the Brent valley.
Some members of the Selbornc
society conceived the idea that q
wood still remaining in that dis.
trict might be protected during the
breeding season. Accordingly a
bargain was made with the farmer
that the wood should be properly
hedged in and a keeper appointed
to look after it, while persons likely
to commit mischief were rigidly ex.
Guided.
The consequence is that wild life
has increased abundantly and nests
have been found of many birds.
Rabbits are numerous, and, as
might be expected, stoats and
weasels are not absent. The place.
too, is one where the entomologist
will find much to interest him.

AN OBSTINATE SAFE.

A short time ago the officials of a
bank at Seward, Alaska, had trouble
in opening the safe. 1t was a big
safe, equipped with a time lock.
The clock operating the mechanism
had stopped, and all efforts to open
the big steel door failed.
Lock experts we're brought from
all parts Of Alaska, but none was
able to solve the trouble.
Finally, after several weeks, the
bank officials, in desperation, load.
ed the big safe on a steamer and
sent it to Seattle for treatment. All
this time $4,000 was locked up
safe and tight.
When the ship tied up at its dock
a safe expert was waiting to 20
aboard. He simply gave two or
three light taps with a small ham
mer, the clock started, and a few
hours latsE the bolt flew back, as

DEPTHS OF BLACK SEA
Waters Poisoned by Decaying Matter
to Such a Degree That Life
Is Impossible.

Few persons probably, other than
hose engaged u the pursuit of
science, are aware that the Black
sea presents an interest of its own
to the zoologist and the ~geologist
shared by no Other part of the ocean
at the present day.
Throughout the greater part Of
the ocean the bottom is the dwelling
place Of a number of creatures whose
business it is to consume the bodies
Of the members of the surface
fauna which after death sink to the
bottom. In the Black sea, owing to
special geological events, such scay-
engers are totally wanting over the
greater part Of the bottom, so that
the ~carcasses Of the creatures which
fall from above are left to decom-
pose, which they speedily do at the
comparatively high temperature of
ihe water.
But their decomposition two
soluble compounds-carbonate of
ammonia and sulphmetted hydro
gen-are developed in enormous
quantities; while no free lime, ex-
cept such as is introduced from the
Mediterranean, is left. The volume
Of sulphuretted hydrogen is so great
as to poison the water from the
greatest depth (1,227 fathoms) to
within about 100 fathoms of the
surface to such a degree that life,
except for a few bacteria, is abso-
lutely impossible.
The circumstance has a double
interest-frst, that it is absolutely
unique at the present day, and.
secondly, that it seems to offer an
almost exact parallel to the state Of
affairs that existed at the incon-
ceivably remote epoch when the old
est known sedimentary rocks were
laid down as mud.

A WONDERFULLY STUPID LAD.

The coroner of a certain town in
central Pennsylvania was once
called upon to hold an inquest over
the remains Of a Hungarian laborer.
The only witness was a lad Of the
same nationality, who spoke no
English.
"Where do you live, boy?" was
the first question of the coroner.
The boy shook his head.
"Do you speak English" next
came from the coroner.
Again the boy shook his head.
"Do you speak German ?"
Still another negative from the
lad.
"Do you speak French?" was the
next interrogatory.
For the third time the boy shook
his head.
GLOW old are you?o
No reply from the witness.
Then, after a pause, the coroner
asked:
"Do you speak %Italian?"
The lad remained silent.
