Illuminating shells for lighting up
large areas of ocean in life-saving work
or to obtain the range of the vessels
of an enemy are proposed by the
American Illuminating Shell Company,
of Baltimore, Md. The shell used is a
hollow cylinder made of steel tubing
and charged with calcium carbide,
which, coming in contact with water,
generates acetylene gas. Tfce end of
the shell remains above water, and at
this end are burners lighted by an
electrical device contained in the shell.
It is claimed that the light produced is

an eight-inch paper at 80 yardfe; fifty
two arrows out of 100 Into a four-foot
target at 100 yards, and two succes

Arctic liidnstry.
It !s the fashion of some writers to
speak of the Arctic regions as a worth
less quarter of the world, which has
never paid for all the dangers and suf
fering there, and yet the Danish pos
sessions in Greenland are almost
unique among the colonial enterprises,
having paid a profit to the general gov
ernment every year for more than a
century. Practically, nil the mineral
cryolite used in the industries of Amer
ica and Europe comes from Greenland,
and, according to the estimates of Gen.
Greely, the whale, seal, walrus and
other products of the Arctic regions
have, in a little over two centuries,
contributed about $1.000,0Q0,000 tq the
wealth of the world.

When Sir Humphrey Davy wns a boy
about sixteen, a little girl came to him
In great excitement.
"Humphrey, do tell me why these
two pieces of cane mako a tiny spark
of light when I rub them together.”
Humphrey was a studious boj r , who
spent hours In thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child’s curly
head, BDd said:
“I do not know, dear. Let us see if
they really do make a light, and then
wo will try to find out why.”
Humphrey soon found that the little
girl was right; the pieces of cane, if
rubbed together quickly, did give a tiny
light. Then he set to work to find out
the reason, and after some time, thanks
to the observing powers of his little
friend, and his own kindness to her in
not Impatiently telling her not to
‘worry,” as so many might have done,
Humphrey Davy made the first of his
interesting discoveries. Every reed,
cane and grass has an outer skin of
flinty etuff which protects the Inside
from Insects, and also helps the frail
j looking leaves to stand upright.—The

Coroner’* InQoeat Over a Mammy.
British Crowner’s law has asserted
Its rights by holding a formal Inquest
over a mummy that was being trans
ported over the North Western Rail
road to be shipped to Belgium. Tho
technical evidence and the verdii t
rendered were as follows: "Dr. Oliver,
divisional surgeon, stated that it was
not possible to say the probable period
of death beyond that it must have
occurred many years ago. From his
examination of the body and from in
quiries he had made, he had formed
the opinion that the mummy was that
of a body from Pern or some other
part of South America. The system
of burial among certain tribes there
consists of placing the body after
death in a squatting position, and of
fixing it in that position to a str.ke or
tree and allowing it to be expoued to
the sun for a certain time. By these
means the body becomes dried or
mummified, after which it is conveyed
to a sand or other cave and there de
posited. The jury returned the fol
lowing verdict: ‘That the woman was
found dead at the railway goods sta
tion, Sun street, on April 15, and did
die on some date unknown in some
foreign country, probably South Amer
ica, from some cause unknown. No
proofs of a violent death are found,
and the body has been dried and
‘buried in Some foreign manner, prob
ably sun dried and cave buried, and
the*jurors are satisfied that this body
does not show any recent crime in this
country, and that the deceased was
unknown and about 25 years of age.’ ”
