BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. DR. TANNER CITES SOME CASES OE SUSPENDED ANIMATION. Decomposition the Only •Sure Test —A Young Man Resurrected After Burial for Three Years. Dr. Tanner, the famous faster, was in Chicago recently. He is interested in the question of suspended animation, and he talked interestingly of the case of the young woman, Wilhelmina Stahl, of Jef ferson Park, whose body showed no signs of decomposition when buried, though, according to scientific tests, she had been dead ten days. “There is positively only one sure test of death,” said Dr. Tanner, “and that is decomposition, and an advanced stage of that. Any other test applied by a phy sician is absolutely useless and proves nothing. I see that the doctors who had been waiting on Miss Stahl cut the tibia*! artery to show the relatives that circula tion had stopped and to prove con clusively, as they supposed, the death of the patient. Well, now, if that girl hap pened to be in a trance—as we say, suffering from suspended animation — why, then so soon as she revived, she would bleed to death in a few minutes and the doctors, who perpetrated the liendish outrage, would be virtually murderers. “I take it that what I may say on this subject would have little weight, because the enlightened public is aware of the utter unreliability of the doctors’ decisions that a person is dead. The cases of sus pended animation, in which the facts were discovered too late, are entirely too numerous. They speak for themselves -I‘l have a case in mind where the body of a young man was buried in a vault, nnd in three years the body was removed and found not to be decomposed. The physicians considered that fact strange, and laid the body on the dis secting table to study it. An incision was made with a scalpel, and instantly the man arose, being thoroughly resusci tated. He lived for years, too. I had the pleasure last fall of interviewing a lady, near Inditmapdfe, who came to life after fourteen days or suspended anima tion. Her little brother clung to her against the will of the parents. Six doc tors came in and made their usual tests, and at last it was considered folly to keep the body any longer. But the boy threw himself on his sister and said they should not put her under ground. Mind you, six Indianapolis physicians had shaken their heads and said that she was dead. “ ‘No, Sadie is not dead,’ cried the brother. “Accidentally he pushed aside the bandage which held her jaw in place. It. fell and the people in the room saw it. The brother saw it, too, and noticed that his sister’s tongue' was slowly moving. “ ‘What do you want, sister 1’ asked the boy. “ ‘Wa-ter, wa-ter,’ came the answer from the woman supposed to be dead. “They gave her water and she revived and is still living, having since married. I had a talk with her shortly after. I am making this subject my special study, and I tell you it horrifies me to learn all that Is going on. “It is impossible to tell what person is so constituted as to be liable to fall into a trance. Therefore friends ought not to rely bn the mere word of a physician. It does no harm to wait a few days. As long as the body maintains a good ap pearance, it will hurt nothing to delay the burial. From the beginning of this year I kept account of the cases of sus pended animation discovered and re ported in the papers. They averaged one a week in the United States. That is a fact which should cause physicians to be very careful when they pronounce patients dead.” —New York World. The Famous Feaekblow Vase. The famous peachblow vase was im ported from China at a cost of SIO,OOO. Mrs. Mary J. Morgan, of New York, bought it for $15,000. Its history is thus related by a correspondent: “Tht next step in the history of the vase was its sale with the effects to Mrs. Mary J. Morgan on March 9, 1886. While ex hibiting it in the galleries, the curiosity excited was very great. Some persons even asked the privilege of kissing it, since, they said, they could not own it. Groups of people were always gathered in front of the vase, and made many and various remarks about it. Expressions of surprise over its reported value were most frequent. Finally when the day of the sale arrived, there was a tiptoe of excite ment over the matter. The auctioneer pointed to the modest thing and asked it he could have a bid of SSOOO for it. At this price it was started, and crept up gradually until it reached SIB,OOO, at which it was knocked down—but to whom? This question has never yet been satisfactorily answered. Among those who were bidding for the vase was Mr. Sutton, of the Amer-t can art galleries. His instructions were not to pay more than $20,000 for the vase. It was sold for SIB,OOO, and Mr. Sutton was the buyer. It has been said that he bought the vase for himself, but he did not. He bought it under in structions for William T. Walters, of Bal timore, and the little treasure is now in that city, where it now rests in a hidden away from the eyes even of Mr. Walters’s friends. A few days after the sale Mr. Walters denied having bought it, according to a correspondent of the Tribune. The only explanation given of this evasion has been that Mr. Walter's was afraid of the notoriety which the pos session would give him. He refused to have his name connected with the pur chase, but it is, nevertheless, a fact that ho has it now, but he probably docs not get much comfort from its possession.— Atlanta Constitution. The Brazilian navy has, exclusive of her torpedo boat flotilla, over fifty men af-war, of which fifteen are rated as rrmored vessels. The Riacliuelo is one >f the most formidable vessels in the orld. Her armor, on an average, is .even inches thick. THE FARM AN© GARDEN. VALUE OF HEN DROPPINGS. The statement that the droppiugs of one lieu per year are worth tifty cents is going its annual round. We have about one hundred liens on the average but find them credited with only five dollars on our book for manure, or five cents each. Ten cents is the very high est that we would be willing to allow for the annual manure crop from each hen.— American Agriculturist. MICE AMONG THE COHN. ■ Mice make serious work among corn in the ear in cribs. They work around freely among the ears where cats cannot follow them. Rats kill oil the mice, but arc themselves worse than the vermin they destroy. The best security against vermin in corn homes is to set the build ing on posts capped with a tin pan so that mice cannot get around it. Then if not brought in they cannot effect an en trance. The corn house should be cleared of all rubbish cobs and the like at least once a year.— Courier-Journal WATER FOR BEES. Persons owning bees and not located near streams of water should furnish them fresh water daily, as it will save time which, to the bee, means honey, as it means money to a person. The way they frequent wells and cisterns shows that they prefer water fresh to stale, and they appear to enjoy sipping it from gravel and sand. 1 have used milk crocks filled with gravel and sand, but, on the whole, prefer wooden kegs with cloth put in them, hanging over the sides, acting as syphons. The bees sip water from the sunny side of the kegs. The kegs should be washed out frequently, and one should be a little brackish, about a teaspoonful to a pail of water.— Prairie Parmer. COTTON-SEED MEAL FOR COWS. The agricultural department at Wash ington has been making an analysis of butter from cows fed on cottonseed meal, which produces unlooked-for results. The analysis showed remarkable points: 1. A low-percentage of vegetable acids. 2. A phenomenally high melting point. 3. A strong persistence of the reducing agent. The first point is of importance as show ing that mixing cotton seed with the feed of cows in the South will tend to raise the melting point of butter, thus render ing it more suitable for consumption in hot climates. Professor Wiley says: “From an analytic point of view the re sults are of great importance, since they show that butter derived from a cow fed on cotton seed meal might be condemned as adulterated when judged by the amount of volatile acids present. Since cotton seed meal is destined to be a cattle food of great importance, especially in the southern part of the United States, this is a fact of the greatest interest.”—Chi cago Times. SMUT OF OATS. The smut of oats—said by a Manches ter, (Micli.) inquirer to be very badly in jurious throughout—is caused by the fungus (Ustilago segetum) which feeds on the panicles, and develops a great quan tity of dark brown spores. These are wafted about by wind, and if they fall upon other oat plants under the proper condition smut will again be produced. As a preventive, it is well to practise ro-. tation, and never raise two oat crops in succession on the same land. The seed used should be plump, well filled and free from smutted kernels. It is a common practice in some sections to soak the seed for thirty-six hours in one pound of cop per sulphate, dissolved in four gallons of water; this destroys any adhering spores, and will greatly lessen, and perhaps pre vent, attack of the smut. A solution of one pound caustic potash in six gallons of water is thought to be as effectual, and it requires only half the time of soaking. On being taken out of the solution the seed should be rolled iu ashes, lime or plaster. When once established on the [Hants no application can avail.— New York Tribune. COVERING CORN. When the ground is di-y, corn requires a heavier and firmer covering. It is sometimes said that the later the planting the heavier and firmer should be the covering; but this is true only so far as it holds good that the later in the season the drier the ground. Sometimes the ground contains more moisture in May than in April; then the May covering should be the lighter and looser. Generally, how ever, toward the close of the- planting season the ground has lost so much, moisture that not only should the cover ing be heavy, but it may well be com pacted by a stroke with the hoe or even by tramping upon it. If the planting is done with a two-horse planter, the runners properly set to go deeper and the firming action of the wheels is not disturbed. In fact, if the ground is unusually dry. it is advisable to go over the field with a heavy roller two days after the corn is planted. Germination has not yet reached the stage where the displacement of the earth by the roller will prove injurious to the corn, while this displacement will kill myriads of weeds that have just started near the surface. If used early enough, a roller is a good weed-destroyer. If, on the other hand, the ground is damp, as it is most likely to be" early in the season, less covering is required, and the covering should not he compacted with the hoe or foot. If the planting is done with a two-horse planter, the harrower should follow close after, to loosen the covering compacted by the wheels. The amount and density of the covering should also be modified by the character of the soil. A light, loose soil —therefore one that dries out rapidly— may well he compacted above the seed when a heavy, clayey soil should be kept loose; and the covering of the former should be heavier than of the latter. The general principle is that the covering should be sufficient to keep moisture about the seed, but not of a character to retain an excess of moisture or to shut out the warmth of the sun; and the shallowest covering that will secure the essential conditions of germination is the best.— American Agriculturist. HORSES AT REST. There are some curious facts about the disposition of horses to lie down,says the Horse and Stable. To a hard working horse repose is almost, as great a necessity as good food, but tired as he may be, he is very often shy about lying down, even when a clean, nice bed of straw is pro vided for him. The writer once rode a mare seventy miles in a single day. The stable in which she was put for the night was as comfortable in every way as it could be made, yet she stood the whole night through. She ate her oats and hay and then went to sleep, leaning forward with her breast against the manger. There are horses that have never been seen to lie down, and if they have ever done so it was only for a short time, and at an hour when they were not likely to be seen. No marks have ever been dis covered on their coats which would in dicate that they had been lying down. A horse is recalled now that occupied for fifteen years, from the time he was two years old, the first stall in grandfather’s stable. Up to the hour he died no one had ever seen him lying down,and several times after wearisome drives of eight or ten hours, a watch was placed on him to see if during the night he would lie down; but he was never caught in that position, and he could not be tempted to recline by the sweetest and cleanest of bedding. He died literally upon his feet. He was taken sick, and in giving him a drench from a long-necked bottle, with his head pulled up to a beam, he suddenly fell back and expired. Unless a horse lies down regularly his rest cannot be complete, and his joints and sinews stiffen; and while it is true 1 that some horses that sleep iu a standing position continue to work for many years, it is equally true that they would continue to work for many years longer, and per form thoir work much better, if they rested naturally. Young horses from a country stable may refuse to lie down when put into a stable in town, and the habit may become confirmed unless in ducements arc offered. Horses can be taught to lie down, and they can also be taught to be as neat and cleanly in their habits as an individual. It is a very rare thing for horses afflicted with a disease that superinduces fever to lie down; they will stand up until nature becomes completely exhausted and their limbs refuse to sustain them. Tneyhave an instinct which teaches them that if they lie down it may be difficult for them to get upon their feet again. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Silage is a partial substitute for green grass. Silage may be made an efficient ally of or a good substitute for soiling crops. It is no sign that a hen meditates evil to her owner simply because she lays for him. Be sure and set out some fruit—a fe\V berries at least—and how about the cur rants and grapes? The first eggs from pullets should not be used for hatching if hen’s eggs can be had conveniently. Some who keep cattle up in summer say that silage is even more valuable iu sum mer than iu winter. A lath fence is the first thing to plant for a farmer’s garden. It will pay the best of any one crop he can put in. The common school is the farmer’s col lege, and the parents ought to visit the schools and be interested in their work. The persimmon is naturally a slow grower, and although plenty of fertilizer is given, they seem to grow only just about so much. Fanners are not putting business method enough into their work. They must make their brains do a little more and their hands a little less. If you have any mongrel cocks or those from which you do not wish to breed, get rid of them at once. It is a needless ex pense to feed them. An important advantage resulting from the use of ensilage all the year is, that manure made from it is available for use— not scattered at random over the farm. A cow should never be idle more than six weeks at one time. She will last longer and earn more than a cow kept the usual way—milked seven months, half fed and idle five. In selecting fertilizers remember that gypsum, or land plaster, is a cheap and valuable form of plant food. It is es pecially valuable for mixing with hen manure, ashes and compost. Among the latest notable features of the poultry business is that of hatching ducks by incubator and fattening them for early market. It is claimed to be a very remunerative business. Have no fear of feeding potatoes to cows giving milk, but be careful about feeding them a few weeks before time of calving, for they stimulate milk produc tion and at that period may cause garget. The butter product of any State can be increased twenty-five per cent, with the cows now used and without additional ex pense by feeding a liberal balanced ration and giving the cows and the milk proper care. Boxes in the kitchen windows provide piobably the best and most convenient way to raise plants from seed for the home garden. Sow seed about six weeks before time to transplant to the open ground. From the earliest streak of dawn to the last ray of the setting sun, there is some thing that can be done. It is not all drudgery. Much of it is pleasant labor, but it is work that must be done, and done thoroughly at the right time, or it will not br made a success. To cleat pear trees of the scurfy bark louse scrape the scales off during cold weather and as soon as spring opens, and when they begin to hatch syringe the trees and their limbs with a solution of washing soda (half a pound to an or dinary pailful of water). Prompt treat ments of this kind will destroy them. Some pomologists [mint the twigs and branches with linseed oil for this pest.

Photography by Heat. It may be said that photographs can he taken by heat as well as by light. The action of the shorter waves of energy which we call light is quicker and sooner manifest to the eye than the action of the longer waves which we call heat; but the invisible heat rays in the solar spectrum have been photographed. The slow ac tion of the heat in changing the molecular state of bodies is well known. It is prob able that an emulation could be formed which w ould give an image of a hot black kettle in a dark chamber. The element , of time, however, would probably be an important one. indeed we are often presented with evi dences of the picture-making facility of heat rays. A fern leaf upon ice is soon represented, by the difference of molecu lar action. A stationary carriage wheel standing in the sun upon the frozen ground is found to have left its photo graph upon the ground when it moves on. — Scribner. A Chicken With Four Legs.

The rapid manner in which the fowl scratches earth, it is alleged, as tonishes t’qe other liens so that they hide their heads in their feathers and forget to lay eggs. When on roost the quartet of feet take up no more room than an or dinary chicken’s feet do.

A Fighter from Way Back, and » Tough Customer to Handle. “The gorilla is tli; prize-fighter ol Africa,” said Carl Steckelman, who has personal knowledge of the Dark Conti nent. He had been speaking of a leop ard skin on Exhibition in his window, and had been telling of the danger en countered in fighting with the original owner of the skin. “Contests with all wild animals pale in comparison with that in which one must engage in meeting the gorilla,” he said. “The gorilla is found in only a comparatively small portion of western Africa. He lurks in the woods along the coasts for several hundred miles north of the mouth of the Congo. I have never seen a gorilla in the open country, and, by r the way, I think that the fact that lie stays in the woods accounts for the fact that he is almost a biped instead of a quadruped. You see the gorilla in passing through the forests reaches out with his long anus, and seizing the branches of the trees, rises on his hind legs and walks on them, supporting himself with his hold on the branches. Habit has thus almost made an upright creature of him. “The gorilla is as brave as brave can bo. The male gorilla does all the fight ing for the family. If you approach a pair of gorillas the female will run screaming through the woods or will climb the highest tree, uttering all the while cries not unlike a woman in great fright. But the male gorilla will come straight at you. He does not know what fear is. He will fight any number of men.” “How do you fight them ?” “With pistols. It is very unsafe to trust to a gun or to a poor weapon of any kind. The gorilla is so fierce and pow erful that you have but one chance at him at the best. The woods where ho is found arc so thick that it is impossi ble to see him accurately at any dis tance. If you fire at him as lie comes at you down the tree a limb may turn the course of the bullet. Before you can fire a second time lie Mill be upon you. Ho drops from limb to limb and comes at a rapid, swinging pace. The safest way is to hold your fire until ho is at arm’s length and then lire steadily into him with a pistol. “The gorilla is easily killed. An ordinary pistol shot will have the same effect upon him as it lias upon a man. The hunter’s dang >r is in not making the shot toll. Once I was passing through the forest with a bodyguard of natives. The natives are furnished by the Dutch traders with a miserable gun, the barrel of which is made of gas pipe. The natives had learned to be suspicious of their guns. When they fire at any thing they point in the general direc tion, pull the trigger, and fling the gun at the object. They throw the gun be cause they are afraid it will explode in their hands, as it very frequently does. Well, we came upon a gorilla. A native saw him dropping from a tree coming at us. Aiming at the descending form, he fired and missed. He had not turned before the grim monster M-as upon him. Standing and throwing his arms around the negro’s neck the gorilla seized his throat in his manlike jaws and was crushing the life out of him M’lien we came up and fired a pistol ball into him at close ran go. But the Mounds inflioted Mere mortal, nnd the native died in great agony.” “Are the gorillas numerous in the strip of country M’liere they are found ?” “They are scarce. In making a trip once I saw two in one day, but that Mas unusual. They are the fiercest and bravest of animals. The male gorilla in going into battle sounds a fearful warn ing by beating its breast and giving forth sounds that make the dense for eSt resound. He is a dangerous antag onist, and you are all the time reminded by his appearance that you are contest ing with a creature that lias a man’s faculties and appearance, a giant’s strength, and a monkey’s agility.”— Indianapolis News.
