but too late. A boat hand pitched the
reptile overboard and science had met

Prince Albert of Monaco has recently
retorted the results of his experiments
to ascertain the ocean circulation in the
North Atlantic. Four years ago he
set adrift several hundred floats, many
of which have been picked up. Some
of these were hollow copper balls,
some oak barrels and some ordinary
bottles.
In 1885 he cast overboard on the
seas northwest of the Azores 169 floats.
Fourteen of this number have been re
covered, giving clear indications of a
southeasterly current curving around
the Western Islands at a daily mean
rate of 9.88 miles. Of 510 floats which
the prince launched In 1885 nearer the
French coast nine have been picked
np, showing the movement of a cur
rent in a similar direction with a mean
velocity of about six miles a day.
The United States Coast Survey la
now conducting similar experimenU
on the Atlantic currents with improved
floats, each marked by a white painted
pine staff. It is to be hoped In the in
terests of navigation that all who find
them will comply with the printed in
structions which each float carries.

I no one doubts that Dr.

cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
VY'lth a 5 guarantee, WiUCl.
isn t a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call" in a
moment.
That moment 'is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
Dr. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the World's
Dispensary Medical Associa
tion can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The ' only question is are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist 50 cents
and the trial begins.

XHsS TOWERS OP BlueXCll
A VJsle to the Burial Place of the
Parseo Tbe Vnltnrfje.
A hundred yards distant through the
trees Intervening ia one of the gloomy
Towers of Silence, fully inkeepmg with
its gloomy name. As visitors are not
permitted to approach nearer than 100
feet, we are directed to a small worKlng
model under a lilac just off the garden.
Here, with the aid of a reference card,
we examine the eternal arrangements of
the tower.
It is a roofless, circular building of
stone and painted white, 300 feet in cir
cumference and about sixty in height;
thirty feet from the base on the side
facing the garden is a small entrance.
Just large enough to admit the bearers
and body, closed by double iron doors.
These doors open on the main platform,
which Is paved with large slabs of stone
and divided into three rows of shallow
open rceptacles, into which art placed
the naked corpses to await the coming
of the vu'.turta. The first, or outer row,
is for males (adult), the second for fe
males and the third, or inner row for
children. These three rows correspond
with three moral precepts of the Zoro
astrian religion good deecU, good
words, good thought. Between the
rows are foot paths for the bearers to
move about. In the center of the tower
is a great well 150 feet in circumference
and forty to fifty feet in depth, into
which the dry bones are thrown after
being denuded of flesh. From this
great well toward the cardinal points of
the compass diverge four underground
drains each of which baa its terminus,
about thirty feet away, a small well.
The bottom of each of these small wells
is covered wilh a thick layer of sand.
Pieces of charcoal and sandstone are
also placed at the end of each drain.
Thus the rain water coming from the
great weil and bringing with It the de
composed osseous matter passes through
two sets of filters for purification before
entering the cri.und, thereby observing
a tenet of the Z 'rcKustrian religion tha
'mother earl h UA not be denied."
A corpse is carried into the tower by
two beArn-i, called Jfassaslara, who
alone are pilveleged to enter; the clothes
are then removed, the body placed in
one of the receptacles and tbe bea rer
withdraw. Now Is the opportunity for
the vultures to fulfill the duties of their
offloe. Upon the approach of the pro
cession hundreds of them arise from the
tops of the palms, which have become
withered and dead from contact with the
ciirnlverous bodies, and hover in a circle
above until the bearers have gone.
Then like darts they descend a boiling
seething mass of carrion, each particle
of which, intenl only upon precedence.
Is quarreling and fighting with the other
In lis horrible worlc In an hour or two
the corpse is entirely stripped of its
flesh; the lones are then lett until per
fectly dried by the heat or the tropical
sun, then thrown into the well, where,
in course of t tne, they crumble to dust.
According to tl.e teachings of Zoroaster,
earth, fire and water are sacred, and in
order to avoid their pollution it it
strictly enjoined that the dead bodies
shall not be buried in tha ground or
thrown into the sea.
In Accomplished Bride,
The engagement of Miss Carole Fitz
gerald, of New York, to Lord Edward
FiUmaurice, younger brother of the
Marquis of Landowne, is announced.
Miss Fittzgerald is not more than twen
ty-one years of age, and yet she has

ics and scholars. She it not only mis

Miss FitUgerald is the daughter of
wealthy parents, and it wealthy in her
own right besides, having inherited a
fortune from an aunt.
"That alle Ttarklns It the great jst
