Your paper will, no doubt, be presently full of memories of Professor Huxley. 1 should like, with your permission, to add one while his loss is so fresh with us. Some time ago I received a letter from an unknown correspondent asking me for an account of a parishioner of mine, a casual laborer in a large dockyard. 1 found out the man, and gathered that he was socially of the laboring class—-politi- cally a soclalist and theologically a free- thinker, but that all his spare time was evoted to original research, aided by a sixpenny magnifying glass. So 1 reported Pecordingly, and in a few days recelved a letter from Professor Huxley, thanking me for my exhaustive report, and saying that this man had sent him a paper con- taining a most vivid and stientifically ac- curate description of the multiplication by fission of a lowly organism observed by ‘him in an infusion of his own preparation. + The professor’s object in writing was to ask me how best such a man could be helped, I being at his special request the intermediary. So I suggested in the meanwhile a mlcro- scope and a few scientific books. In the course of a few days I received a splendid achromatic compound microscope and some books, which I duly handed over to my riend, telling him it was from an unknown and. “Ah,” he said, “I know who that must ; it can be no other than the rreatest f living scientists; it is just lke him to elp a tyro." I need hardly say how well and truly jy friend has profited by the professor's enerosity; still more, by the thought of is interest and sympathy. It was Pro- fessor Huxley's wish, I know, ‘to try to find him a post in a marine laboratory or some similarly congenial occupation. But this plan, I fear, will never now be carried out. Still, the fact remains, of true genlus, though obscure, having been dis- covered and fostered by him whose death has caused so great a blank in the roll of great English savants. eo By-Play at Chautauqua.

All preparations for the Potomac river regatta of 2895, which is to be held tomor- row afternoon, have been completed, and all that remains now to make it the most successful event in the local history of aquatics is good weather. The committee was kept busy this morning receiving the various crews who will participate in the races and escorting them and their boats to their respective stopping places. The crews of the Baltimore Athletic Club reached here in a private car about 11 o'clock this morning, and were taken di- rectly to the Analostan boat house. Their trainer, Harry Vail, accompanied them. Owing to an unfortunate accident that hap- pened to the four-oared shell of the Balti- more boys, it is improbable that they will be able to be represented in the junior four- oared race. Capt. Moore of the Analostans, however, may manage to get them a boat, and if this is done they will row in all the events for ‘which they have been entered. The crew of the Ariel Rowing Club, also of Baltimore, reached Washington this afternoon, and went to the Potomac boat house. The members of the crew will re- turn to Baltimore tonight, as Capt. Andrew Monks thirks it is better to have his men sleep at their own homes and be away from all excitement. They will come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and bring about seventy-five supporters with them. At the same time, nearly 200 of the Baltimore club rooters will come over. Mr. Lewis Reitz of the Ariel Club, who is entered in’ the junior singles, is also a guest of the Po- tomacs. The Palisade eight got in this afternoon and went to the Potomac boat house, while the Metropolitans, the Montrose and.the four of the Pennsylvania Barge Club also arrived, and went over to the same hospita- ble place. The Post Cup Arrives. The Post cup, which was won last Au- gust by the Fairmounts of Philadelphia, arrived today and was placed on exhibi- tion with the other trophies at Moore & Leding’s, The Fairmounts have no crew entered in tomorrow’s races, and conse- qvently surrendered the trophy for inter- Mediate eights. It is an elegant massive vase of graceful proportions. Surround- ing it are the figures of four oarsmen in strong attitudes,holding their sweeps erect. The lower part is tinely chased, while around the top is a chased band, on which is engraved, “‘Washington Post Cup.” The cup stands npon a mahogany base, on which is a silver rudder on which is the inscription, “For senior feur-oared.shelis.”” The inscription will probably be changed to “For intermediate shells” when it is won this time. Around the neck of the vase are inscriptions showing that the 1895—TWELVE PAGES. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP, a EXPLANATORY NOTH: Observations taken at § a.m., 75th meridian time.

RISING TEMPERATURE. It Will Be Fair and Warmer for Forty-Eight Hours. The area of high pressue has moved from Penrsylvania to the south Atlantic coast. A second high pressure area has | moved from the north Pacific to Idaho. A trough of low pressure extends from Ari- zena to Ontario. Showers have fallen in this trough, ex- cept in its extreme southwest portion. The following heavy rainfalls (in inches) were reported: During the past twelve hours—Augusta, 1.64; Savannah, 2.38; La Crosse, 1.54; Omaha, 1.64; Hephzibah, Ga., 3.08, The temperature has fallen in the middle plateau region and has risen in the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys, the lake regions and New England, and has re- mained stationary elsewhere. Forecast till 8 p.m. Saturday.—For Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, showers to- day, followed by fair; warmer, except sta- tionary temperature in Vermont; westerly winds. S: For Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necticut and eastern New York, generally fair; southwesterly winds. For the District of Columbia, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, fair; warmer; southerly winds. The high pressure area in Pennsylvania has moved to southeast Virginia, and will dominate the weather throughout the At- lantie states for forty-eight hours. We may expect fair skies and slowly rising temperature.

Neglect of the Trophies. An examination of the various trophies discovered that there has been a great deal of neglect on the part of those who have won them at various times. ‘There ..are Places provided on each for the record of g2ch race in which the cups are prizes, to be engraved upon them, and had the win- ners in each regatta immediately had the name of their club, the date and the time of the race engraved upon their respective trophies the value of the prizes in future years would have been greatly enhanced, while as perpetual records they would be of advantage to future historians of American sports. As it is, not one of the cups contains @ complete record. of its real history. The regatta committee would be doing an excellent service if it would have the prizes Properly and fully inscribed with their records up to date between now and Sat- urday, so that they would fully show their interesting histories. Officials of the Regatth. The officials of the course have been chosen, although the list may be subject to some revision before tomorrow. The umpire will be Mr. George W. Statzell of the Pennsylvania Boat Club; the timers will be W. E. H. Merritt of the Potomacs, W. B. Hibbs of the Columbias and J. Rush Marshall of the Analostans. The judges at the finish are M. J. Quinn of the Poto- macs, Adam Johnson of the Columbias and W. A. McKenny of the Ahalostans. The judges at the turn will be E. F. Riggs of the Potomacs and J. Walter Keene of the Analostans. The start and finish in all races, save those for eights, will be on a line drawn from the center of the G street wharf. The singles and four-oared shelis will row down the river three-quarters of a mile from this point, turn a stake and finish at the starting place. The eight- oared races will be straight away and will be rowed over the full national course, fin- ishing at the G street wharf. Chairman Offiey today received a subscription from Mr. Henry C. Winship toward the expenses of the regatta. ——— EVERYTHING IN PAPER. Variety of Uses in the Furnishings of a Country House. From the Philadelphia Times, To have a bed room or parlor papered with tinted crepe paper is the latest fad in the furnishing of country houses and sum- mer cottages. They have paper bedcloth- ing, paper cushions on the rattan chairs, paper draperies and window curtains, table of papier mache covered with a crinkled paper ecarf, paper shades on the paper-dec- crated lamps, chandeliers or candelabra, paper panels upon the paper doors, paper frames to the paper pictures, paper-covered, vases holding paper flowers, and, if the owner of all this beauty is a faddist, a pa- er gown to lounge in. A Chicago firm has just finished a cottage at Newport in this style, and the boudoir of the house mistress is done in rose pink paper, each panel of wall, ceiling cr dcor being gathered in the center under an American beauty rose, which might be alive, so perfect are all the details, even to the perfume in its folded heart. The carpet is of paper in a corre- sponding shade, the Turkish lounge is up- holstered in the seme fashion, and the lady herself looks, when in the room, like a gi- gantic rose. The skirt of her gown is com- posed of flounces of the shaded, ruffled pa- per, topped off with a calyx of green paper. The full bodice is drawn into a bertha of the green, and the sleeves are made of a succession of immense rose petals. Porch- es, wide sunry halls and dark, solemn li- braries are all finished with paver, and pretty and artistic lounging coats and smoking jackets are fashioned from the same material. Garden hats, sunbonnets and little shoul- der capes, both for children and their el- ders, are being shipped to the country in large quantities and they are as pretty as heart could desire. Paper ‘curtains’ are gathered to paper crowns, paper tiestrings are added, and the trimming consists of pa- rer bows and flowers. The hats are all of the wide-brimmed, shady vartety and are attractive looking hanging in the hall of a summer cottage, to say nothing of when donned by a pretty girl. This fad grew out of the hat worn by a society leader at a fancy ball last winter, and bids fair to spread far and wide. They are easily made, requiring merely a miliiner’s frame, a roll of paper and a little ingenuity, and they are not costly to buy ready-made. sees Modesty and the Telephone. From the Chieago Tribune. They had a new girl. She was not the imported article, but was nativistic enough | to satisfy a member of the A. P. A. She came from somewhere in Indiana and had never seen a telephone. She was given a hasty lesson in {ts use and was told to answer it.when members of the family were absent. The second afternoon every- body was out but the Indiana product. She was in her room. An hour before dinner the female head of the family returned. “That thing in the closet was ringing for ten minutes this afternoon, ma'am,” said the new girl. “Why did you not answer it as I told you to do, Mary?" said the mistress. “I would have, ma'am,” said Mary, “only ported to the west of Dominica, pressure 29.85 inches at St. Thomas. No effects from this storm will be felt for at least forty-eight -hours on the middle Atlantic coast. s ‘A trough of low pressure is seen extend- mg from New Mexico to Ontario. Rain has fallen in this trough. The temperature has risen in all districts east of the Mis- sissippi river. ~N. B.—A report received at 10:40 shows that the West India storm is developing and moving. Santiago de Cuba, in the extreme eastern part of the island, cables that the pressure there is 80.02, with a moderate north wind: The sky and other appearances indicate a storm to the south- east. Present indications’ are that this storm will move northwest over the island of Cuba, or a little north of it, recurving to the northeast when it reaches the south point of Florida. There will probably be little serious development until the present tigh area moves off the coast and out of the way. All interested should watch the weather maps during the next few days, in oer to see how this West India storm acts. At 11:20 a.m. hurricane signals’ were hoisted at Jupiter and Key West.

The People in Chin: Method to Punis From the New York Recorder. Margherita Arlina Hamm of New York has made many wonderful trips through ‘China, and understands the people and the language probably better than any other American woman. She has been greatly interested in the recent riots in Ku-Cheng, 2s she visited that city while exploring the southern provinces, and made some careful analyzations of the laws, habits and do- ings of the people. The position of the missionaries she considers very dangerous. She said, anent the late riots and massa- cres: “The massacre at Ku-Cheng is one of those frightful events, which can only oc- cur in China. Ku-Cheng is a pretty city, within a hundred miles from Foo-Chow, and has long been a favorite station for the American, English and other mission- ary societies. They have done good werk there, and are said to have several hun- dred converts. On several occasions they have been threatened by the mob, as mis- sionaries in that land often are, but not! ing particularily bad or cruel has occurred in that locality for many years. In the immediate neighborhood, however, there have been many outrages from time to time. “What is needed in the present case is a demonstraticn by the great powers that will compel the Chinese government to make a rigid example of eVery human be- ing who took part in the massacre at Ku- Cheng. The only thing there is to do is to behead every person who took part in the cutrage. Criminal law in China is very simple. Every minor offense can be ex- piated by a fine or a bribe. or both. Every larger offense is punishable with death No other course has the slightest effect upen the popular imagination. Deeper than all this, and one of the queerest things in the world, is the extraordinary fact that the Chinese people use the riot as the po- : litical agency of great potency. “In their system of government, to use American terms, the governor of a state is 1esponsible for all that happens in that state, the mayor of a city for all in the city, the alderman of a ward for all in his ward, and the captain of an election dis- trict for all in his district. “If a serious riot breaks out in his dis- frict, the captain is degraded, disgraced or beheaded: break out in a ward, the alder- man; if in the city, the mayor, and if in a state, the governor. This being the law, whenever any official becomes too tyran eal or corrupt the people get up a riot. This is done cold-bloodedly, and nearly every detail is arranged beforehand. Very often the houses that are to be burned are marked one week in advance, and a similar program is put on foot in regard to the people to be Killed. “The present riot probably is of this class, in addition to its being anti-Chris- tian and anti-foreign in character. This having been a larger riot than usual, and having heen directed against foreigners, who are one hundred times more import- ant tian a Chinese subject, it is fair to presume that K eng is suffering from the malgovernment of a Tai-Tai, a Tao-Tal, a Hal-Fang-Ting or a Fan-Tai, these four officials corresponding to a district com- mander-in-chief, a prefect, a county judge and a county treasurer. “Such is the civilization which these heroic women are endeavoring to reform and Christianize. They have a larger task than what had the disciples 2,000 years ago, and, like the disciples, they are suf- fering the stripes, the tortures and the ignominious death which were awarded the founders of our faith.” ————_+ e+ He Spnred the Snake's Life. From the Punxsutawney Spirit. When fishing and camping in the wilds of Cameron county a short time ago, W. G, McCain of Brookville ran across a thrilling snake story. The incident happened to a man named Barber of Keating, whom Mr. McCain employed to haul his camping out- fit from the railroad station to the camp in the woods. As they were driving along they stopped at a little spring by. thé road- side to get a drink. They were in a “‘snaky” country, and before he stooped down to the spring, which was thickly surrounded with weeds and bushes, Mr. McCain noticed that Barber eyed the surroundings pretty clesely. “I had a close call at that spring,” said the old fellow, after the two had drunk. “I came along one time and stopped as usual to get a drink. As I had no cup, I lay down on my face, and while drinking felt something wet strike my forehead. I thought it was a wet twig sticking out of the bank from which the water trickled. As I raised up, how2ver, my gaze encount- ered the head of an enormous rattlesnake protruding from the weeds, and the sensa- tion I felt was the reptile’s tongue. In oth- er words, it was licking my forehead. “With a single bound I was out of that, but I made no effort to kill that snake. It had spared my life when it had me in its power, and I let it go. The recollection of Employ This Officials. I was half undressed, and I was afraid it might be a man.” that experience makes me sick and faint to this day.” APPLE MARY'S BASKET. —+ oo Its Contents Gave Heri Home and Educated Her Daughters. From the Chicago Tribune. |? * The season of graduating qlassas has just closed, but among ali-the: thousands of, fond parerts and sweet''gir graduates per- haps not a happler woman‘ can be found than “Apple Mary.” Every newspaper man in Chicago knows. hen, For twenty- five years “Apple Mary’®(hername is Mary Cuneo) has braved the‘weathér and climb- ed long flights of stairs catrying her bas- ket, containing from sixty to-seventy-five pounds of fruit. Graduation week brought to her the realization! of what she had pa- tiently labored for for years. Her daugh- ter was graduated from Our Lady of Angels’ Seminary, at North Clinton, Iowa, and she’ was Valedictorian of her class. “Apple Mary,” though Italan by descent, Was born in Memphis, Tenn. She has been in Chicago many years, and was there dur- ing the great fire. Init she lost every- thing she had in the world, escaping bare- footed and scantily dressed from death in the flames. When the time came for her to give her daughters, Rose and Jennie, an education, she set about it in the bravest fashion. “You see, I never had an duea-. tion,” she said, ‘and made up my mind that my girls ‘should have. And now. I know they have it,” and a happy and ex- cusably proud lvok suffused ner face, that still tells the story that she was cnce a fine-looking giri. When the girls were little ones she placed them in the seminary, and it was for their seke that every day she went out and bought fruit and then lugged it about, al- Ways greeting cheerlly the many ‘riends she has all over the business section. Her daughter Rose, a fine-looking girl, was graduated in the class of 1802, and hike her sister Jennie, of the class of 1805, Was valedictorian. Rose, hefore the Times dis- appeared, was ~mployed as a stenograpner in the business department, and is thus known to many of the newspaper fra- ternity. She is now with the Catholic Home Journal. Both young women are good mu siclans, and besides all that are equipped to fight the battle of life. They "Ive with their widowed mother in large, comfort- able, daintily furnished apartments in Washington street. They have their piano, their books,their pictures and their inother, and are a truly happy family. But now that “Apple Mary” has passed her daughters through the seminary, she doesn’t propose to throw away the basket. Every night, except Sunday, she takes the rounds of the newspaper offices, where among editors, reporters, proof-readers, telegraph operators, typesetters and all, she is always gladiy met. But graduation week she was missing. She had gone out to Iowa to be at the commeucement. The newspaper beys knew about it, and gave her hter a nice notice at the time. Safe it is, ther, to say that of all the thousands of fond parents in all the land, no matter how rich, no matter how honor- ed, graduation week brought no one more joy than came to the heart of “Apple Mary,” and no one has more reason to be proud. —__+e+____ Rocking Chairs for Health. From the St. Paul's. , “I love it, I love it, and who shall dare,” asked the late Miss Eliza Cook in a mo- ment of inspiration, “to chide me for loving that old armchair?” Whether the article of furniture to which the ptetes$ was so much attached was a rocking, chair there is no means of discovering. If it was, she cer- tainly would not have bden ehidden for lov- ing it by the French doctor who has just discovered in rocking ‘chaits a new and potent agency for good. The gentle and regular os¢iilations of these chairs haye, it appears, “a wonderful effect;in stimulating the gastro-intestinal peristalsis.” If your digestion 1s sluggish, and you suffer from “atony of the stomach,”.ali you need to do 1s to rock yourself for half an hour or so at a time, and all will be well., Make the ex- periment the next time you feel that your gastro-Intestinal peristalsis wants stimulat- ing. The doctor who proclaims this new and very simple cure for dyspepsia must be either a benefactor te whom. thousands of his fellows will be grateful or a partner in a rocking chair manufactory. I wonder which? —————ce-. The Good Dencon. From the Chicago Tribune, “T once ran for highway commisstoner,” observed Deacon Ironsides, “and the other man and I got exactly the same voté.”” “How did you settle it?” asked Elder Kreepalong. “He offered to decide the matter by toss- ing dp a copper cent, but I said that was gambling, and I wouldn't gamble if I never got an office in the world. So we pulled straws for It and I got the right one. There's a Little trick at pulling straws,” added the geod deacon with a twinkle in his eye, “that everybody doesn't. know. I'm generally pretty lucky at pull'n straws.” STREET EXTENSIONS Arguments in the Injunction Case Con- oluded Before Judge MoOomas. Mr. Meloy’s Response to the Conten- tions of the District—The Deci- - sion Reserved. Arguments on the rule to show cause in the suit brought by A. K. and E. J. Tingle, asking that the District Commissioners be restrained frcm filing the first section of the map of the proposed extension of streets and highways in the District, were concluded today before Judge: McComas. After The Star's report of the hearing closed yesterday afternoon, Mr. Andrew B. Duvall, for the District, continued his argument, declaring that the extension of streets had to be made sooner or later, and that this is as good a time to begin as any. He also claimed that the property of the 'Tingles would be much more valuable than at present if the proposed alteration is made. When Mr. Duvall concluded the court adjourned for the day. The hearing was resumed this afternoon, when Mr. Meloy, for the complainants, again argued in support of the petition for an injunction. After referring to a Mary- land case, cited yesterday by Mr. Thomas and declaring that it had no bearing on the case at issue, Mr. Meloy remarked that Congress does not intend to appropriate a cent for the payment of land taken for the extension of streets until that body has revised all the preliminary proceedings. “And until then,” interrupted Mr. Thom- as, “you are not hurt.” “But I contend that we are hurt from the moment the map Is filed,” replied Mr. Meloy. The Only Just Way, According to Mr. Meloy. “Manifestly the only just way to carry cut this scheme for the enlargement of the city,” continued Mr. Meloy, “would be for the authorities to secure a loan and make immediate payment from it to the owners immediately upon the taking of their prop- erty. ‘But no,’ they say, ‘we'll hold this property for years, perhaps, at its present market value, until we get ready to pay for it.’ We are left hanging, like Mahom- et’s coffin, between heaven and earth, or, perhaps I should say, between heaven and hades. There we are left, not for six months or a year, but during the sweet pleasure of the District authorities. In closing Mr. Meloy declared that the owner would be prevented from building on his property after the map is filed, the as- sertions of counsel. for the District to: the contrary notwithstanding. “The filing of this map will operate as a club in the hands of the executive to kill the rights of the owner. The law is not a just or a fair one to the property owner, nor is it the .proper law to accomplish this great good which we all desire.” Judge McComas will render his decision in the case next week. —_—.—__ THE COURTS.

James Anderson, the colored man arrest- ed on a charge of stealing a gold watch and chain valued at $210 from Dr. McMur- ties’ house a few days ago, was called in the Police Court today. He waived an ex- amination and was held in $1,000 security for the action of the grand jury. Willie Lewis, the colored girl who re- turned the stolen property, and said it was given to her by a boy whom she met on the street, was charged with receiving the stolen property, and the case went over. —— Poker Players Punished.

But when the case came up in the Police Court today, and Judge Milis heard the prcof he held that the law had been violated. Mr. Jeffords,the prosecuting officer,recom- mended the young man to the mercy of the court, and he was given five hours in jail and fined $5 and costs. SS Held for the Grand Jury. William F. Salter, charged by Key Bros., real estate dealers, with embezzling $175 of their funds, was given a preliminary kearing in the Police Court today. The pros2cution was the result of a real estate transaction. Judge Mills heid the defend- ant In $500 security for the grand jury. Mr. Salter claims that on a trial, when the defense as well as the prosecution can be heard, he will be proved innocent. —_.__ Continuous Rai From the Natlonal Car Butlder. Several methods have been employed to accomplish this result, which seems to be very desirable and especially advan- tageous where the track is used as one of the electrical conductors, as in the trolley system. In one system the current from the trolley line has been utilized for weld- ing the rails. In St. Louis the method is pursued of uniting the rails at the joints by running a casting of iron around the joint, by means of a special mold and a portable furnace. The molds are heated up near the line of the track and a fire built around them, so that by the time they are to be put around the joints they are dull red. The iron is poured into the molds from a ladle. After pouring, they are allowed to remain ten minutes before being removed for use on another joint. The joint of every other section of track is cast in the morning and the remainder in the afternoon, this being done to pre- vent, as far as possible, the severe strain of contraction, for when the joint is hot it heats the rail for some distance on efich side, and consequently there is consider- able expansion.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A noted physician has said that “food is the greatest factor in health and disease; it has made and unmade nations.” If this be true, how important it becomes for mothers to consider healthful articles of diet for their children, and to demand re- form in the cooking of the foods usually given to them. Nursery diet should con- sist chiefly of mill cereals, the proper vege- tables and fruits, meat broths and very little meat, if any, for the earlier years. Milk, its preparation, as well as its ad- ininistration, is the first difficulty to con- front the mother in nursery feeding, al- though she may not consider it thus. ‘Sta- tistics show, however, that nearly all the ailments of children are directly traceable to improper feeding, and that impure milk is directly responsible for the numerous deaths from cholera infantum that occar every summer, in spite of the combined efforts of physicians, statesmen, philan- thropists and capitalists. It is evident chat the reforn needed for the permanent bene- fit of the little ones must apply directly to the mothers, and that lack of education in this direction must be met and conquered. ‘The proper care of milk demands purity of source, cleanliness in handling and quick and careful transportation. Failing these, Pasteurization is the only safeguard 'eft to the mother, that she may protect her caild from the contagion frequently carried in milk that has been contaminated by «x- posure to infection. It is well known that scarlet and typhoid fever, measles, diph- therla and similar diseases have often been carried into families by the innocent-look- ing bottle of milk that has been served 'y. This means the daily application to all milk used of a temperature of 160 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes, which temperature will kill all the germs that are dangerous to the child, without destroying the quality of the milk as a focd, which was the result when sterilizu- tion at a high and prolonged temperature was first introduced as a desirable process in infant feeding. For family purposes an ordinary agate dcuble boiler may be used very convenient- ly, but for the nursery it is advisable to use one of the best steamers made, that each mal may be separate and to insure accuracy, which is more important for an infant than for an adult. +0 Embarrassing.

Attempt to Resuscitate a Boy Who ‘Wan Drowned the Preceding Day. From the Cleveland Leader, At Heffrcn’s undertaking rooms an ef- fort was made yesterday to bring back to Ufe Louis Fisher, aged nine years, who was drowned in the lake on the previous afternoon. Dr. Whitney, a physician ving on Wil- son avenue, claims that he himself was drowned at one period of his life, and after being dead more than an hour animation was by a certain method restored. Dr. Whitney has for scme time desired to put this process to another test, but never availed himself of the opportunity until yesterjay. His theory is that a corpse can be resuscitated, providing there are no in- ternal injuries, by placing the ertire body, except the eyes, nose and mouth, in a bath of water heated to a constant temperature }of 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and leaving it there for at least five hours. An ordinary bath tub was used yesterday. When the water had reached the proper temperature Dr. Whitney and his assistants carefully deposited the body in the tub. It was then about 11 o'clock in the morning, and from that time vntil 4 o'clock, when the experi- ment was given up, the condition of the corpse was studiously watched by Dr. Whitney. Although the experiment was a failure, at times the blcod was started to circulate end the face and Ips assumed the natural color. It is said that the heart was felt to throb several times. When the test was over Dr. Whitney claimed it was not successful because the boy's body was rolled over a barrel after the drowning, thus causing internal injuries. ———— Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKB MCAJOG POUCH TOBACCO.
