According to that theory of the resurrec- tion which some objectors maintain, what is to become of that worthy missionary? ven the Mahometans, who everywhe! bury their dead and are so scrupulously particular about the disposal of bodies, do not cherish any such inelastic tenets. They have an idea that one small bone in man is indestructible—the lowest of the vertebrae, which they call “Luz,” and from this the is ignorant Moslem believe the whole corpus may be re-established. There is an old Arab fable which says that Abraham, rea- soning upon these things, asked God how there could be resurrection for a body Whose component parts were scattered. Al- lah, the legend says, ordered him to cut white cock into the smallest possible pieces, and, dividing these into seven, to place the portions on seven different hill-tops. This being done, Israfel, the angel of the trumpet, was ordered to summon the bird, and in a moment it reappeared close to Abraham, complete, living and loudly crow- ing. The story is grotesque, but indicates the firm belie? which even Islam has that nothing Is beyond the power of the Al- mighty to effect. The other serious objection stands upon the sround that to dispose of all corpses by burning would furnish to the poisoner a ngerous mode of concealing his crime.

In every case, to the great ad- vantage of justice, medical men would be more heedful as to giving a true certificate; while in any suspicious instance the fact that cremation would do away with future evidence would lead to the necessary autop- sy and investigations then and there. So far from multiplying cases of undetected poisoning, the example of Sir Samuel Baker generally adopted would probably conduce to new rules for death certificates, and a much more rigid guarantee against the form of crime contemplated. — a.

Many Curiosities Received From the World’s Fair—Siuffed Animals and Wax Fruit—Life Destroyers. Located on the scutheastern corner of the agricultural grounds is a barn-like frame Structure which is familiar to all Washing- tonians. Formerly a huge sign of gilt let- ters announced to the passerby that inside the building was an “Industrial Exhibit,” but during the past few years the museum of the Department of Agriculture has been located there. This collection is compara- tively unknown, although, belng the only one of its kind in the country, it is deserv- ing of more than ordinary attention. Since the opening of the world’s fair, how- ever, the museum has been to a great ex- tent depleted, and thereby rendered more unattractive than attractive to the visitor. But gradually of late immense boxes have been arriving from Chicago, and at the pres- ent time nearly all of the articles sent to the fair are once more in Washington, and with them are an immense number of the Columbian exhibite, which have been do- nated to the museum by foreign countries. With the return of the loaned exhibits and the additions thereto, an extensive recon- struction has taken place within the wood- en walls of the building, and at the end of a week the public will have an opportunity to visit the only agricultural museum in the United States, which Is as complete as it can possibly be made. The reconstruction has taken place mainly to show more ciear- ly than heretofore the ability and work of the various divisions of the department. In making the change all worthless material and that which would be dangerous fm case of fire have been eliminated. Interesting Exhibits. Major James M. Watt, the curator, and his assistant, Mr. W. F. Tomlinson, are care, and both gentlemen derive pleasure in showing visitors about and explaining the various exhibits. Under their care a Star reporter recently wended his way through the hall. Just inside the entrance is the agricultural exhibit, showing specimens of corn, wheat, barley, grain and rice from the different states. An interesting feature is a piece of mosaic work made of different colored grains of corn, which represents an Indian maiden who bears the name “Minnehaha.” Sev- eral vines loaded with peanuts just as they grow under ground are a novelty to many people who have been under the Impres- sion that the popular nut grows on trees. Then there {s a case containing about two hundred specimens of wool and pho- tographs of sheep and Angora goats with- out number.

All the from every state in the Union may be seen, as well as specimens from Europe and Egypt, and Major Watt claims that his exhibit in this line is an improvement over that at the world’s fair. Wax Models. Under the head of pomology is a case of wax models of fruits, the work of Wizard John W. Hendley. This collection attracts great attention, especially a half orange and a half lemon, which cannot be distin- guished from the natural article unless examined closely. The wizard at present is at work on an imitation of half a dozen raw oysters on the half shell and he states cessary to attempt to eat them before the deception can be detected. Hundreds of varieties of modeis of fruits, recentiy made, | have been shipped to the midwinter Califor- jnia fair, and will not be returned until |June, but a sufficient number remain to be alone worth a trip to the museum. Life Destroyers. The department of ornithology and mam- malogy is next in order. Here are seen object lessons on the harm done the farm- er by certain animals. A wolf is shown de- |stroying a lamb. A jack-rabbit is gnaw ling an apple tree; skunks and weasels are | killing chickens; a ‘possum is sucking the eggs in a hen’s nest; several members of | the squirrel family are busily engaged pull- ing up sprouting corn and grain; a spar- row is eating peach and apple bloom and ‘a number of crows are hard at work spreading ruin over a field of corn and wheat. A display goiten up at great ex- pense is that in the department of ento- mology, which deals particularly with the methods of destroying injurious insects, Models of perfect corn and cotton stalks th bugs preying upon them are there, as |well as the hop plant and enlarged models of the hop plant louse, strawberry, clover, |tomatoes and potatoes with their’ accom: panying bugs as in nature. A wonderful \imitation of {distributed upon it is interesting, as is a collection embracing models of the silk moth and worm and the honey bee operat- ing on honey, apparatus for reariag in- |sects in order to study them, 2nd insect collecting nets and preparations for pre- | serving and also exterminating them, Ss ying Dise: One of the most important bureaus of the | department is that dealing with animal in. dustry d in the museum are specimens showing the diseased parts of all animals. | There is a life-sized gray horse affected | with the glanders, and hoofs without num- {ber, together with the means for treat- jing every description of bad feet. The in- lof the beasts are shown, with various dis- eased parts preserved in alcohol. In the forestry division may be seen about two hundred specimens of North American for- est tree seeds hundreds of specimens of foreign woods, timber tests, railroad t \hardwoods for commercial’ use, mounted |specimens of pines, a grapevine eighteen |inches in diameter, and the yellow. pine from which tar, pitch and turpentine are sap. Rotanteal Specimens. The botany department comprises a col- lection of medicinal plants and particu- |larly a bunch of Russian thistle, of which |so much has been said in Congress of |late. This butch is six feet in diameter |and from two and one half to three feet high and was grown from one seed. ‘The thistle is the most destructive plant to Wheat in the west. All sizes of natural siumps with mushroom and fungus growth upon them makes up the microscopy ex- hibit while the chemistry department deals principally in food adulterants. All varie- ties of food, how and by what adulterated, are shown, and in addition are models of sugar cane, ent stages of manufacture into sugar and sirup. Under this department is also dis- played specimens of guttapercha, vegetable wax and paraffine, the latter being largely |used in the manufacture of chocolate candy jand chewing gum. The vegetable patholo- gy exhibit embraces models of plants dis- eased from other causes than the preying jof insects and what remedies should be ‘used and in what manner. College Specime: The exhibit of the office of experimental stations consists of contributions from the agricultural colleges and the experiment |stations now in operation in all the states and territories of the Union. Among the subjects which will be illustrated ure the composition of different feeding stuffs, such |as corn, oats, hay, bran, cotton seed mea jcornmea} and brewers’ grains; the reiative | digestibility of feeding stuffs; devices in- \vented by the stations for determining the amount of fat in milk at creameries; speci- mens showing the root systems of culti- vated plants, such as wheat, alfalfa, and clover as they actually exist in the soll; the result of experiments in the improve- ment of varieties of sorghum, sugar beets, sugar cane and cotton; experiments im the melons; methods ‘of making and storing silage; ‘the results of feeding experiments with cows, sheep and pigs; models and pic- tures of the offices, laboratories and i pparatus of the different colleges and sta- tions and the methods and results of analy- sis of commercial fertilizer. The United States government annual- lly expends a million and a half dollars for the maintenance of the stations and col- leges and the several states add about one million dollars to the above amount.

It is well worth visting. — JOYS OF HASHEESH SMOKING, Ideal for the Time Being, but Follows ed Next Day by a Racking Headache, From the New York World. Hasheesh is fast taking the place of | opium among the smokers who aspire to the highest misery and the highest pleasure which can come from inhaling blue fumes from a long-stemmed pipe. It's ageinst the law to sell it, but there are many places where you can buy it, and it pays han@- | Somely the tradesman who takes the rigk of selling it.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch. | In Central and Eastern Asia there Hes an | unexplored region full of interest, and te the archaeologist in especial. A great trav- eler and clever writer, the Russian General | Prjevaisky, speaking of the oasis of Tcher- tchen, situated in the great table lands hemmed in by the there unbroken wall of the Himalayas, says that close to it are the ruins of two great cities, the oldest of which, according to local tradition, was de- stroyed 3,000 vears ago, ang the other by the Mongolians in the tenth century of our | era. | “The emplacement of the two cities ts | now covered, owing to the shifting sands and the desert winds, with strange and het- erogeneous rel with broken china and kitchen utensils and human bones. The ‘natives often find copper and gold coins, |ingots, diamonds and turquoises, and, what is most remarkable, broken glass. Coffins of some undecaying wood or material are \there aiso, within which beautifully pre- served embalmed bodies are found. The male mummics are all enormously tall, | powerfully built men, with long, wavy hair, |A vault was found with twelve dead men sitting in it. Another time in a separate coffin a young girl was found by us, Her eyes were closed with golden disks, and the jaws held firm by a golden circlet rum- ning from under the chin, across the | top of the head. Clad in a narrow woolen garment, her bosom was covered with \golden stars, her feet being left naked.” | To this the lecturer adds that all along the | way on the river Tchertchen they heard legends about twenty-three towns buried ages ago by the sands of the desert. The same tradition exists on the Lob-nor ané \im the oasis of Kerya. Mme. Blavatsky, who was in the earlier part of her life a great and indefatigable | traveler, covering more ground in a given time than is usually accomplished by even | those of the sterner and more enduring #ex, bears witness also to those ancient ruins, | which she openly avers are prehistoric; the pages of her works also make frequent ref- erence to other ruins of ancient character ttered throughout the desert regions of Central Asia. She hints, too, at buried crypts and underground vaults in the desert of Goh, in particular, in which are stored |many of the preserved records of the ages. However, this may be, the ruins described re certainly in place awaiting the organ- |ized efforts of science to recover for the | world a long-forgotten page in the history of the peoples of the globe. Or, as in the |case of Troy, private enterprise may step in, and continuing the investigations be- |gun ky the Russian traveler, read this md@- die of bygone civilization aright. so Johnston's grocery spectals —— | Page 5.—Aavtu.
