mated at Cairo by an Egyptian fanatic
in 1900 the French authorities CON
demned the murderer to be impaled
alive The sentence was duly carried
out and the punishment was borne
by the criminal with true oriental
stOicism. The French account OF the
execution states that soon after his
implement the wretched man asked
for a drink a French soldier was
about to hand him some water, but
was prevented by the chief Of the
Mamelukes, who cried "Gardez-vOus

that cup Of cold water drunk while
undergoing extreme torture, such as
implement causes instant death.

character of the wood as to species

the dry weight of spruce as "a pounds

of 100 cubic feet would be about 1900
pounds Of mechanical pulp and of sui
phite pulp, 1000 pounds. CONNER
clally, newsprint is made from a mix
ture of 10 per cent mechanical and 25

would require GO cubic feet wood !;
500 pounds sulphte would require 4S6

would require 1877 cubic feet or

troubled by the prickings of con
science. In one year the amount re
celved from this source exceeded
$1,000. Among the contributors to this
fund are taxpayers who have min
imized their incomes, importers who
have evaded customs duties, letter
writer's who have used stamps that
have done service before but had not
been defaced, government clerks who
have exaggerated their expense ac-

make amends for a saddle blanket
stolen long ago.
