if tha Hsart stops Reatina.

When the heart stops the circula- tion ceases, the capillaries of the lungs become gorged with stagnant blood, while the blood in the brain no longer carries away the waste products and brings the oxygenated fluid to restore the tissues. As the blood takes about half minute to circulate through the whole system, it may be taken that at the end of this period after the stoppage of the heart the arteries would be fill ed by the last effort of the left ven- tricle, while the veins would be pouring their contents into the right auricle. In few seconds more the nervous centers would cease to act, and probably by the end of the minute the subject would be prac- tically dead from suffocation, al- though reflex muscular action would probably keep up the appearance of life for some seconds longer.

A Proposed NeuU Road

For some time past Mir. John McLaws has been thinking of a new route to the petrifed forest to escape the Rio Puerco wash and other sandy places. We'd nesday evening about dark MT. McLaws and son Del started out in Ford car to try the new route. They crossed the river at Hol- brook bridge and travelled south on the Snowflake road until they came to the southwest corner of Dick Greer's pasture, then fol- lowed the fence east and contin- ued east until they crossed the Little Colorado at Woodruff Butte steel bridge. Then con- tlnued travelling north and came into the petrifed forest road at the Carr Lake draw. MT. Me Laws said the route was one mile shorter, and a great deal better than the old road via the cross ing of the Rio Puerco, and would do away with the building of a new bridge where the one was washed out in April. He further stated that by putting one fourth of the money on thls road that it would take to put in the new bridge. the county would always have a good road to the Apache county line.

QUEER MANx LAWS.
And a JocuIar Reading of the Coat of
 Arms of the Island.

Arms of the Island.
 The Isle of Man presents many curious features, none of which are more curious than it's laws. For instance, the legislature is called the house of keys and was in other times a judicial body charged with the duty of interpreting the laws. Any person so bold as to islander this house of keys was liable not only to fine in the amount of 91O, but to the loss of both his ears.
 Two deemsters were once appoint ed to execute the laws which before the year 1417 were uncodifed, and these were known as breast laws, for the reason that they were inn parted to the deemsters in secret, to be kept by them within the sec recy of their own breasts as long as they chose or during their whole service, though <hey were authoriz- ed to impart and explain to the populace as much of these special laws as should at any time seem wise and expedient.
 Certain of the Manx laws, as set down after the qualification, are ex- tremely quaint. Here are a couple of extracts from the Manx legal ruling:
 of man steal a horse or an OK it is no felony. for the offender can not hide them, but if he steal a capon or a pig he shall be hanged.
 'fIn case of theft, if it amount to the value of sixpence halfpenny, 1t shall be felony and death to the offender, and under that value to be whipped or set upon a wooden horse, which shall be provided for such offenders.
 The arms of the Isle of Man, which, though it may sound like an Irish bull to say so, are legs-three legs bent at the knee and apparent ly kicking outward from a common center in the midst of a shield have provoked a number of jocular descriptions, of which the best de- clares that one leg spurns Ireland, one kicks at Scotland, and the third kneels to England.
 On July of every year the laws of the Isle of Man are still read aloud to the assembled people from the top of Tynwald hill. This is said to be the most interesting and archaic legal ceremony observed to- day in Europe.-Harper's Weekly.

oriain of Paner Confetti.


 Years ago a firm of printers in Paris executed an unusually large order for almanacs. Each sheet was punched with small hole for eye letting and an immense number of tiny circles of colored paper ac- cumulated in the workrooms- One day a workman grabbed handful of these and in a spirit of fun threw the bits of paper over a girl worker who was passing. She re- taliated; others followed the ex- ample of the two, and a miniature snowstorm was in progress when the head of the firm entered. Be ing man of imagination. he saw something in it." Confetti was the result. Instead of destroying the punched out circles of paper he or dered new and special forms of ma chinery for turning out the little papers that form so picturesque role in many festivities throughout the world. It is said that this firm alone turns out more than sixty tons of confetti week.-Harper's.
