There, is no jdace where death is more unwelcome than on board a passenger r.:.n!er. and lietweeu the death and bari;;l f a eea traveler the melancholy influence of the event extends to every one on hoard. The limitations of space are very likely responsible in part for this, fur the-e i the feeling that nctil the Udy has been cast into the arms cf tbeeta theie is no getting away from it So spake a man'who has crossed the Atlantic ocean many times and who on moru than one occasion had been a pas- ng.r on one of the big liners when death had claimed a victim from among tho on beard. Sailors dread a death on board their vessel as much as anything, and when one occurs they are all anxiety to ren der the body the last service. And this tact is often responsible foi the haste and scant consideration with which bnrials at sn are t;o often conducted. Dnt the days of such ceremonies are fast dvine, and efforts are now being made which will permit of the body be ing carried for the remainder cf the journey after death and properly buried on laud. Dvm now it is generally only sailors i and steerage passengers who are buried at sa, and frequently these are cast to the waves withont 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 fcl without the fact becoming known to moie than one or two of the crew or ste iage passengers. Every effort is made to beep the event secret, and in thi stillness of night, when better this? pass ngers are comfortably curled up iu their bunks, a little band of men, mov ing like shadows across the deck, bear a body frrni below, and, while the vessel is plowing the sea. the mortal remains wrapped in canvas or inclosed in a crudely made box, are quistly 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 uutil some one has noticed the sharks that are following, for it is no m re sailor's Etory that sharks know when a ship contains a corpse. A vessel carrying a dead body aud passing through waters frequented by sharks is almost sure to be lollowta by one or more of those fishes, if it does not outspeed them. Rather than bury a corpse wlnle sharks are following a vessel the captain will sometimes have the bedy placed in the ice chamber and full steam put on the engines until the hungry fiahes have dropped a.tern completely. In one case at least a txvty was bc- tuallv cremated on board by the cap tain's orders because of the sharks. Ent shaiksare not often obstacles to prompt burial, and, generally speaking, when & death ocenrs ct sea, the body is slip- jied into the water at night with none to witness the proceeding but a couple of the crew and the captain, who reads an abridgment of the service from the prayer book. The manner cf burial or course ae ponds greatly upon the captain own feeliugs in respect to. the dead, cud it must be acknowledged that these feel ings are in some cases all that they should be. Some captains have the greatest .objection to "dumping" a dead body irto the sea and, when it is nu svo:iaMe. will ao tueir unermoss to conduct the ceremony with all possible reverence and respect. For all that, there is always the fee! ing of the ship's crew and the melan cholv effect of the presence of a corps to be reckoned with, and the argument that more consideration is due to the living than the dead often prompts a captain to "damp a steerage passenger in the dead of night withont mention ing the event to more than a couple of hands. T1it:s 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. ?fo Poaches- Ease For tier.

Many livery men own from oue to a dozen hearses and let them to sextons and undertak ers. Perhaps half of the undertakers of the t it v do not keep hearses, out nire of the liverv owners. ners. So it common iy bappeus that in answering calls from one source end another the hear.-vs owned by the liverymen are con.-tantly employed. It might be that all the hearse's ownfd in a stable, whatever their numlier. would be called for day after day and week after week, as regn larlv as so many carriages or other vehicles might be. and so it comes about that hearse driving is here a steady occupation, just like any other.

Hearses have bei n driven to greater distances, but they are not often driven more than 12 or i3 miles away. New York Sun. Limits of Heat aaI Cold. Extremes of heat and cold can be produced artificially to such intense ex tents nowadays that it is a physical im possibility to measure them with abso lute accuracy. "We cannot measure the infinitesimal," says Charles Whiting Baker, editor of Engineering News. "Th best we can do is to make care ful estimates. The greatest heat pro duced artificially is that of an elec tric arc furnace, the kind that is nsf d in the production of artificial diamonds, calcium carbide, etc. It is so intense that nothing exists with which to re cord it It is estimated, however, to be of about 4.000 degrees F. "The coldest known temperature is that of liquid air, which freezes alcohol and mercury and distances all means i f measuring. It is claimed for it that with it a temperature of 400 degr, -es below zero Fahrenheit is reached. The lire-sent limits of heat and cold are therefore u'presented by nace and the liquid air." the arc fi:r- Ilia NrTT Coat.

There are some caw s in which the influence of climate is a potent factor in the treatment of certain diseases, but net half so many of them as is generally supposed.

That beautiful transparent stone call ed Tabriz marble, much used in the burial places of Persia and in their grandest edifices, consists of the petri fied water of ponds in certain parts of the country. This petrification may be traced from its commencement to its termination. In one part the water is clear, in a second it uppears thicker and stagnant, in a third quite black, and in its last stage it is white like frost When the operatiou is complete, a stoue thrown oa its surface makes no imprt".ion. and one may walk over it without wetting cue's shoes. Ths sub stance thus produced is brittle nnd transparent, and sometimes richly striped with red, green and copper color.

The Sensitive Vatgy. The pnrgy, common as it is, is a beautiful ush when s.'en in the water in a favorable light, and it is likewise c-ne of the roost sensitive of fishes. In captivity it is easily frightened. It will take alarm from something done by a passing visitor, a thoughtless touching of glass, or something of that sort, and go rushing around until it isexhausted Sonietimea a porgy ia a tank may, when frightened, jump out of the water and bump its nose against the wire screen over the tank and be seemingly paralyzed by the shock and rendered un able to swim. In such a condition it will lie upon its back, motionless, ex cept perhaps for a fluttering of its Cns, for an hour, and then it may coiuo back all right again and swim about so lively and in such good form that yon can't tell then which fish of the lot it was that had bnmped its bead. A peculiarity of tho porgy is its lia bility to blindness. Blindness is nct nn common among nsties. out tnere are perhaps more blind porgies than there are fish of any other kiad.
