DEATH ABOARD SHIP.
HOW BURIALS AT SEA FROM OCEAN
LINERS ARE MANAGED.
(Little Ceremony and Hasty Funerals
the Rule When Sailors or Steerage
Passengers Are the Victims - Ef
forts to Cheat the Sharks.
There is no place where death is mere
unwelcome than on board a passenger
steamer, and between the death and
burial of a sea traveler the melancholy
influence of the event extends to jevery
ene on board. The limitations of space
axe very likely responsible in part for
this, for there is the feeling that nntii
the body has been cast into the arms cf
the sea there is no getting away from
it So spake a man who has crossed the
Atlantic ocean many times and who on
more than one occasion had been a pas
senger on one of the big liners when
death had claimed a victim from among
those on board.
Savors dread a death on board their
vessel as much aa anything, and when
one occurs they are ali anxiety to ren
der the body the last service, and this
fact is often responsible ::or the haste
and scant consideration* with which
burials at sea are too often conducted.
But the days of such ceremonies are
fast dying, and efforts ar now being
made which will permit of the body be
ing carried for the remainder of the
journey after death and properly buried
on land.
Even now it is generally only sailors
and steerage passengers who are buried
at sea, and frequently these are cast to
the waves without so much as the ves
sel being slowed down and within an
hour or two of their death.
Often enough a death occurs in a ves
sel without the fact becoming known to
more than one or two of the crew or
steerage passengers. Every effort is
made to keep the event secret, and in
the stillness of night, when better class
passengers are comfortably curled up in
"their 'bunks, a little band of men, mov
ing like shadows across the deck, bear a
body : rcm below, and, while the vessel
is plowing the sea, the mortal remains
wrapped in canvas or inclosed in a
crudely made box, are quietly slipped
over the ship's side into the mysterious
deep.
The presence of a dead body on board
has sometimes not even been suspected
by the passengers until some one has
noticed the sharks that are following,
for it is no mere sailor's story that
sharks know when a ship contains a
corpse. A vessel carrying a dead body
and passing through waters frequented
by sharks is almost sure to be followed
by one or more of those fishes, if it does
act outspeed them.
Bather than bury a corpse while
abarla are following a vessel the captain
will sometimes have the bedy placed in
the ice chamber and full steam put on
fiie engines until the hungry fishes have
-dropped astern completely.
In one case at least a body was ac
tually cremated on board by the cap
tain's orders because of the sharks. But
sharks are not often obstacles to prompt
burial, and, generally speaking, when
a death occurs at sea, the body is slip*
ped into the water at night -with cone
to witness tie proceeding but a couple
of the crew and the captain, who reads
an abridgment of the service from the
prayer book.
Tibe manner of burial of course de
pends greatly upon the captain's own
feelings in respect to the dead, and it
must "be acknowledged that these feel
ings are in some cases all that they
should be. Some captains have the
greatest objection to "dumpmg' ' a. dead
body into the sea and, when it is un
avoidable, will do their uttermost to
conduct the ceremony wits all possible
reverence and respect
Por all that, there is always the feel
ing of the ship's crew aM the melan
choly effect of the presence of a corpse
to'be reckoned with, and the argument
that more consideration is due to the
living than the dead-often prompts a
captain to **dump" a steerage passenger
in the dead of night without mention
ing the event to more .than a couple of
sands.
Thus it often happens that while a
.concert or a private theatrical perform
ance is going on in the saloon the cap
tain is engaged making arrangements
for the burial of some unfortunate crea
ture
The "Change of Afar* Cure.
."There is no sense," said a New
York physician, who has passed the
days when he must practice even if he
does not wish to, "in the haphazard
way n which, a patient as sent away
from diome to ^exhaust his strength and
spend his money in the jope that a
change.of air will do him good. There
is no use in sending a persen away to
die.
"Many physicians are not .at all con
siderate about this sort of thing. There
.are some cas s in -which the influence
of climate is a potent factor in the
treatment of certain diseases, but not
.half so many.of them as is generally
?supposed. Quiet and rest at home, plen
ty of sunshine, good food and {iure air
are worth far more than a change of
climaie, that is so often recommended
.as a cs re all. "-Xew York Herald.
Condensed.
"Do jon buy condensed milk, raid
ato?''
"I presume that we must, but I never
thought of it before. I always order
two quarts and pay for i.wo quarts, bui

pints."-Detroit Free Press.
Exile Necessary.
Doctor--Your husband must have
complete rest.
Wife-I know it. I talk to him seven
or eight hours every day so as to keep
his mind off business.
Doctor-On second thought, madam.
I conclude that the one chance for your
husband is to take him to the hospital
with instructions that noone but the
trained nurse and myself be admitted.

THE PHONOGRAPH.
I Some of the Puzzles That the Inter
esting: Invention Presents.
"There are lots of mysterious things
about the phonograph that puzzle even
those who are most familiar with their
mechanism," remarked a gentleman
who has had long experience in the
talking machine business. "As a mat
ter of fact, no scientist has ever been
able to explain exactly why the thing
talks. They say a 'duplicate vibration'
is set np, bnt when yon pin them down
they all are obliged to admit that they
don't know why the operation of the
transmitter should produce any such
result. Then, again, the difficulty in re
cording certain tones has always been a
puzzle.
"The most improved form of the ma
chine has, as you know, an extremely
large cylinder, nearly four times the
size of the ordinary one, and for some
unknown reascn it very materially in
creases the volume of sound. It would
seem, then, to be a logical inference
that the bigger the cylinder the louder
the tone, and, proceeding on that theory,
a very bright young electrician of this
city started the other day to build an
instrument that was really gigantic.
"He put it together without much
trouble and made an experimental cyl
inder nearly a foot in diameter. I was
present when i!; was tested. Every part
of the machine worked perfectly, and a
beautifully engraved record was secur
ed, but when the transmitter was at
tached we were astonished to find that
the sound was barely audible. As near
ly as we could figure it out the tone
was magnified, up to a certain point by
making the cylinder larger, but beyond
that the process was reversed, and it
was progressively diminished. Queer,
wasn't it?"-New Orleans Times-Dem
ocrat.
THE FRENCH MENAGE.
Complaint That It Is Sot the Model
Affair Claimed For lt.
An English writer who has evidently
suffered inveighs rather severely against
the long extolled thrift of the French
housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is,
according to his notion, pernicious
economy. He considers the meager
messes served and reserved until the
last scrap is consumed which make up
the course dinner of the French people
most ' unsatisfactory and far from ap- j
petizing. ''It has been said, ' ' he quotes,
"that a French housekeeper will serve a
grilled chicken foct, making it a sub
stantial course." This he denies-not
the service, but the substantial part
of it
As to the soup of the provincial
French home, he asserts it is not a
thing to be described by the uninitiated,
and it is certainly not meant for a deli
cate palate. It tastes like hot water in
which quantities of cabbage have been
boiled. "Then," he goes on to affirm,
"the only dish of meat will often con
sist of that which has been used in the
making of the soup. "
This testimony is borne out by Amer
ican travelers, who get very tired of
soup meat as a dinner dish. For the
flavoring and finishing of a dish the
French are doubtless unsurpassed, but
the allegation that the sance is made
more important than the substantial
and that the garnishing takes prece
dence over the dish it surrounds is not
without considerable foundation. The
well known story of the French cook
who won a wager by serving a boot
heel scraped and stewed and simmered
and finally served with an entrancing
sauce is a good illustration of much
French cooking.
Census Taking In China.
In-china census methods are simple.
They don't have much trouble to take
a census there. When the time for mak
ing a count of the families and their
individual members comes around, the
head of each house is compelled by law
to write on a slip of paper the number
of individuals living with him and the
nam of each person. The authorities
layiparticular stress upon correct spell
ing, and there 3 a severe penalty at
tached to any misrepresentation either
as io the number of persons or their
names. This obviates in the beginning
the ^wrestling with unpronounceable
names, which helps to make life inter
esting for the American census taker,
and reduces the enumeration of the
population of a Chinese city to a very
simple process.
Sensitive Clocks.
A Lewiston (Me.) merchant has in
his store an old fashioned clock which
is peculiarly sensitive. It sometimes
stops, and if any one steps into thu
store or goes by it will start again,
and if a horse steps on a certain spot ia
the street it will start.
A man who happened to notice it and
who had one like it himself said that
his would not run after he had started
his furnace in the fall In the spring,
after he ceased to keep a fire, it would
run all right.
Great Lover of Water.
The Siamese are more devoted to the
water than .any other nation in the
world. They are nearly always bath
ing, generally <with their clothes on,
and they never go anywhere by land if
they can possibly go by water. The
streets of Bangkok are like those of
Venice, and the inhabitants say that
their idea of paradise would bc a town
with canals where ibere were currents
in both directions, so that they might
be spared the effort of rowing.

The Smart Yonng Wife.
Yonng Mr. and. Mrs. Smith were pre
paring to make a visit to friends for a
few days. Their baby was only 2 months
old, but was an important member of
the family just the same. Mr. Smith
was np stairs and Mrs. Smith down
stairs, putting on her things and get
ting ready to start. "Hubby," she called
>nt to her better half on the floor above,
*:5 ease bring me my gloves ! They are
r/ 2g on the dresser. And bring ma my
overshoes and veil and that hatpin lying
on'top of the chifamier and a few of
those animal crackers for baby, and
don't forget the baby's toothbrush."
Poor hubby had a hard time finding
everything his wife wanted. He was a
long while making his appearance and
finally his wife called to bim, "What
is keeping you, dear?"
"Oh, that confounded toothbrush for
baby! I have everything but that."
Then Mrs. Smith laaghed. "Yon silly
duck," said she, "did you not know
that I was only joking? The baby,
bless her dear little heart, hasn't a tooth
to her name."
That was why hubby got so mad and
"said things" as he was coming down
stairs. A man never likes to have a joke
played on him by his wife.-Pittsburg
Chronicle.
A Real Bottomless Pit.
Few indeed are they who have pene
trated to the innermost recesses of Wil
lis' cave-to the great rotunda where
the icy water of the "big spring" takes
a leap into the midnight blackness of
the "bottomless pit." The entrance to
the cave is at the summit of a hill near
Versailles, Ind.
Bider Haggard, in his imaginary pic
tures of underground horrors, has told
nothing that would equal the true story
! which a single misstep would furnish
I in Willis' cave. A stream of water
pours from the rock, and, pursuing a
j devions underground channel for a
j qnarter of a mile, emerges into a vast
chamber with a slanting, slippery floor
inclining to a sink hole in the center.
Down this hole the stream pours and is
lost forever. By means of ropes and
weights the sink hole has been sounded
to a depth of 400 feet, and still the
bottom has not been reached. The room
is surrounded by a narrow ledge of
rock, on which daring explorers have
made a complete circuit. One step off
the ledge upon the slippery floor would
mean almost instant death in the bot
tomless pit.
Consumption and Fresh Air.
It is a matter of common knowledge,
says an English exchange, that the late
Sir Andrew Clarke cured himself of
consumption by living as much as pos
sible in the open air. The principle in
volved has since been generally recog
nized by the medical profession, with
the result that the old bad practice of
keeping consumptives in warm, stuffy
rooms has been almost entirely aban
doned. It is fresh air which is mainly
responsible for the cures worked at such
places as Davos, where the patients
spend 14 hours a day ont of doors,
breathing cold, bracing mountain air,
while they are exhilarated by bright
sunshine. The result is that each dis
eased spot in the lungs is cut off from
the healthy tissue by a ring of stretched
cells, across which disease germs can
not pass, and so the malady is arrested
until the strengthened body can over
come it.
Mr. Choate's first speech in London
has elicited some criticism here because
of the tone of levity in it. He spoke of
our fondness for twisting the lion's tail,
eta But the speech pleased his audi
tors and was generally praised by the
English press. The St. James Gazette
says that the most noticeable thing
about the speech was the fact that
Brother-Jonathan has become conscious
of his imperial destiny. But it should
be added that he doesn't get tiresome
over it
Odd bits of gossip are continually
circulating about the Princess of
Wales, whose temper appears to be sub
ject to continual changes. The latest
story is that she is strongly inclined, to
ward Catholicism, and that this has
ore than once brought on a disagree
ment with the prince.
Sot So Bad.
'Dotty Thimble rushed np the stairs
toLucy Cleary's room and burst through
the door.
"He isn't such a fool, after alli" she
exclaimed.
"Who isn't?" asked Lucy wonder
ingly.
"That Gerald Thompson."
Lucy's lip cnrled. "What makes yon
Shink so?" she asked.
" 'Cause he kept us all guessing for
three hours at Maria Eveson's library
party last night."
"Did he? How?"

"What dirt that mean?"

FROM COLUMBIA
TO SAVANNAH.
What a "Man Who Knows"
Has to Say.
The Atlanta Journal saya :
A man who knows said this morn
ing :
"I have it straight from the chief
engineer of the Southern railway
that contracts have been let for the
building of a road from Columbia, S.
C , to Savannah Ever since the
Seaboard Air Line got possession of
the Florida Central and Peninsular
road it bas been rumored that the
Southern would build a line from
Columbia to Savannah, but in many
quarters it was doubted.
"Bat it is going to be done, cc-i
tain The distance is from 150 to
200 miles, and it will take a pile of
money to do it, but the Southern
seems bound to have a line in and
out of Savannah. This new railroad
will prove a great developer of
southwestern South Carolina, and is
bound to pay io time, for it will
traverse some of the most fertile and
populous counties in the Palmetto
State
"The first railroad in this country
was buiit in South Carolina, and the
last one heard of up to date is about
to be built there.

A BIG GUN.
The Largest Cannon in the
World Now Building.
Tbs largest gan io (hs world is now
beiog constructed by the United States
government at the Watervliet arsenal
ac it will be ready for the firing test
io September The gao bas a oalibre
of 16 inches, is 50 feet long and weighs
125 tons Its charge of powder and
shot will weigh 2,400 pounds, and it is
estimated that the muzsle velocity of
the projectile will be equal to 84,000
tons, or the equivalent of the ramming
energy of the battleship Oregon cov
ing at a tpeed of 14 knots au hoar.
lt is safe to say, however, that the
government will not build soy more
goos of this 8 Z3, for the reason that
they do cot give satisfactory results,
and Great Britain has already ceased
building them. The recent war with
Spain demonstrated the faot that the
most destructive weapons are guns of
smaller calibre, such, for iostaooe, as
the 4. 5, 6, 8 and 10 inch rifles. The
Pittsburg Post bas this to say of the
tig gan at Watervliet arsenal :
'The steel ignot from which the
main tube ts constructed was oast at
South Bethieheim and weighed 222,
230 pounds In order to assemble the
various parts of the new gun, it was
necessary to build a new plant at
Watervliet. The gun will bo larger
than any German, French or English
gun in length, weight, bore, velocity
and penetration, lt will be mounted
as part of the defensive system of New
York harbor, perhaps in a turret on a
foundation to artificially built op on the
the R mer shoals. These shoals, as is
well koowo, are a little inside of Sandy
Hook, and a fort built up on them will
be in a direct line with the Sandy Hook
defenses and those on the opposite side
at Plum island. The 16 inch gun was
! a favorite with the late chief of ord
, nanoo, General Flagler, who urged it
I for years, using every argument in its
j favor."

SITUATION IN CUBA.
Surrender! of Arms to May
ors of Cities Was Agreed to
By the President's Rep
resentative.
Habana, May 19.-Habana is in a
ferment again over the idea that the
Washington administration has deter
mined to take the arma of the Cuban
troops and to retain them in military
possession This view of the latest
news from Washigton has been tele
graphed to the various cities.
Gov Geo Brooke is thus far una
ware, save through the press tele
grams, of any dissatisfaction on the
part of Gen. Alger, secretary of war,
with his (Gen. Bcoke's) plan to have
the arms deposited in the care of the
mayors of the municipalities, nor has
he received any other inkling of the
secretary's purpose to lay the matter
before President McKinley Conse
quently, unless instructions to the
contrary are received from the Wash
ington administration, the governor
general's order respecting the distri
bution of the $3,000,000 as modified,
will be issued tomorrow The secre
tary of war has been.informed of the
substance of this order, ic the usual
coorse of business.
Habana's midday papers publish
the Washington news, some of them
commenting editorially upon it As
the point about where the arms are
to be kept appears to be thought of
vital importance in Washington, the
conviction announced there that the
mayors cannot be trusted with them
is a cause of fresh discontent, just at
the moment when the various com
plications appeared to be unraveled.
The mayors are the appointees of the
governor general, and when the
military assembly dissolved, they
were made its representatives to re
ceive the arms
Article 4 of the agreement between
Gen Gomez and Robert P Porter,
President McKinley's special repre
sentative, runs as follows : "The
Cubans shall surrender their arms to
the Cuban assembly or to its repre
sentatives."
Gen Gomez, who at the time of
coming to the agreement with Mr.
Porter had not quarreled with the
assembly, insisted upon this point
Since the quarrel, he bas again raised
the point repeatedly, saying also that
Mr Porter brought full written au
thority from President McKinley and,
in the president's name, agreed that
the arms should go into the custody
of the assembly or its representatives.
At Monday night's meeting of the
society of veterans of independence
- organized by former members of
the assembly-the speakers dilated
upon article 4, asserting bad faitb,
the president's plenipotentiary hav
ing agreed to deposit the arms with
the representatives of the assembly
while, through the connivance of
Gomez, they were to be surrendered
to the American army.
La Discussion says : "Secretary
Alger appears ts wish to provoke a
conflict here He is more distin
guiehed in the United States as a
business man than as a politician, and
his relations with certain syndicates
are weil known. He opposes every
thing that Cuba wants and favors
everything theft would cause feeling
and provoke excitement. His atti
tude prompts the question, what
doea be want ? Does he desire a
war here similar to that in the Phil
ippines ? We are forced to believe
that he only approves what is unsatis
factory to Coba."
Cubans of prominence object to
talking for publication on the subject,
j but wherever they have been inter
viewed, they say, without exception,
that such an order as is referred to in
the press dispatches from Washing
ton would cause much trouble ard
would still further separate Cuta
from the United States
