SURE SIGNS OF DEATH.
Guided by Thew, There Is Little Dan
ger OF Premature Burial.

Guided BY Thew. There is Little Dan
ger OF Premature Burial
There is n widespread belief among
educated persons that burial while
still alive is. though not probable. at
least possible. As evidence of this be
lief one has but to notice how many
persons leave instructions in their Wills
for the taking of special precautions
to guard against this most dreadful OF
catastrophies-
When embalming takes place, OF
course. there is no possibility of being
buried alive. yet being killed by en-
balming nuid instead of being allowed
to revive and spend many more years
on earth is not the fate one would Sc
lect.
Although there is but one infallible
sign of death namely. putrefa ction-
yet there are many other signs. no one
Of which is incontrovertibie. yet that
when taken together. even in the alb
sence of putrefaction. make the diagnO-
sis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating. but this
does not necessarily mean that the pa
tient is dead. The writer recalls
case IN his personal observation when
a woman's heart stopped beating thir-
ty-four times i'm twelve hours and each
time was started up again by injec-
lions of brandy and of nitroglycerin.
That is more than six years ago, and
the woman is alive and strong today
Tt is often very difficult to tell the
precise moment of death, but when
the. heart refuses to respond to stimu-
lation. when the body becomes rigid,
when the blood coagulates and the eye
balls become flaccid and lose their ten
sion, then there is no doubt that death
has come. The greatest safeguard
against premature burial is the length
of time that In this country elapses be
fore the body is consigned to the
] ground.-New York World.

ROAR OF THE THUNDER.
It's Length and Strength Depend Upon
the Lightning Flash

the Lightning Flash
Lightning is the glare of prodigious
electric spark that is turned loose
from some place no longer strong
enough to hold it and forms a tire
mendous blazing arc as 1t leaps from
cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth
The little spark Of a laboratory ma
chine makes n cracking noise, and the
gigantic one in the sky makes cor
respondingly great one as it tears
through the air and sets up vibrations
of tremendous intensity.
But it is noticeable in a thunder
storm that the thunderclaps are Of
very different loudness and quality OF
sound The length and strength OF
thunder peal. as meteorological points
out in knowledge, depend mainly on
the size of the accompanying lightning
discharge. but the loudness and sharp
ness of the crack that comes before
the peal depend chiefly on the direc-
ton taken by the electric current rela-
tive to the nearer.
The first crack or rending noise
comes from tho flash itself; the peal
that follows consists of echoes from
the clouds or mountain sides when
/ hills are near Furthermore. the noise
of the actual flash comes to us from
/ all along the hghtning's path We
/ hear first that at the beginning OF the
/ dash and later the noise made toward
/ the end OF its path. When this is short
and we are so situated with reference
| to IL that the whole report reaches our
| ears almost simultaneously. say In a
| quarter of a second. it sounds ike one
/ terrific thump or crash But II the
| electric arc is long and the noise takes
/ two or three seconds to reach us com.

tearing roar. Thus you may judge OF

causing an explosion that may result
in a new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward IN the Journal Of
Natural Science by Professor Philip
Fauth. we'll known astronomer
whose reputation has rested principal
~ upon his researches into conditions
Oh the moon.
The novel feature Of DIR. Fauth's
theory is that it IS based upon the sup
position that "A great part Of the known
solar system. including especially the
planets Jupiter. Uranus and Saturn.
are not composed Of mineral matter at
all. but are tremendous masses OF ice.
or balls of Ice surrounding a mineral
kernel Furthermore he declares. a
part of what is now known as the
Milky way is not mineral or gaseous.
but "a ring of ice dust" masses OF
particles OF ice suspended in space, the
outer planets receiving a constant ad-
dition to their ice mass from this
source
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote period
has had n similar experience. resulting
in the death Of nearly all animate ma
ture. and that all species OF life as we
know IL have arisen since then. Even
