Only careful and skillful drivers are employed in this capacity. The letting of hearses is along estab lished custom in this city. Many livery men own from one to a dozen hearses and let them to sextons and nndertak era Perhaps half of the undertakers of the city do not keep hearses, but hire of the livery owners. So it commonly happens that in answering calls from one source and another the hearses owned by the liverymen are constantly employed. It might be that all the hearses owned in a stable, Whatever -their number, would be called for day after day and week after -week, as regu larly 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 While hearses are ^omxaoffljnsrrven" to and from the various cemeteries in and about the city, they are sometimes driven out of the city tovarious nearby cities and towns. Hearses have been driven to greater distances, but they are not often driven more than 12 or 15 miles away.—New York Sun. Limits of Heat and Gold. 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 "The best we can do is to make care ful estimates. sTbe greatest heat pro duced artificially is that of an elec tric arc furnace, the kind that is used 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 of measuring. It is claimed for it that with it a temperature of 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit is reached. The present limits of heat and cold are therefore represented by the arc fur nace and the liquid air."

The limitations of'space are very likely responsible in part for this, for thee is the feefing that unlit the body has been cast into the arms*f jhe sea tbere~4s 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. Sailors^ dread-a, death'oa^oard 4heir vessel as touch as anything, and when ^me occnrathey are alt^auciety to reft? der theJbody the last service, and this 'fact is often^responsible for ^he haste and scant consideration with which burials at sea are too Often conducted. But the days of such ceremonies are fast dying, and efforts are 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 wbor are buried at sea, and frequently these are cast fe the waves without so much as the ves sel being slowed down andwitbin an hour or two of their death." r*Bounfd .gOften enough a death occurs ttra ves selwitbout the facthecoroing known to mjgjethan^one or t&SL£&J^&i steerage passenger^^J^ry efert^fs made to keep the »event£ secreXUhd in the stillness of night, when better* class passengers are comfortab^yvcurled,up"in their bunks, a little hand of men, mov ing like'shadows across the deck, bear-a body from helow, 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 ^t,does not outspeed them ^f| Bather than bury a corpse while sharks are following a vessel the captain will sometimes have the body placed in the ice chamber and full steam put on the 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 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 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 "dumping" a dead body into the sea and, when it is un avoidable, will do their uttermost to conduct the ceremony with all possible reverence and respect. For all that, there is always the feel ing of the ship's crew and 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 hands 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 someunfortunate crea ture he "Change or Air" Core.

"It wants but one thing," said the man, on seeing the finished picture, "and that is the portrait of jny-first wife—this one is my second." "But," replied the artist, £'sbe is dead. What can I do? She must come in as an angel 'f^ *i "Oh, no noHfoglfa fof^ne.^She must come in as A woman." The portrait wasu added, but several months elapsed before the man again called at Copley's studio, and when he did, a strange lady held on to his arm "I must have anotheii sketch from your hand, Copley, "'said he. "An ac cident befell my second wife, this lady is my third, and* she has come to have her likeness included in the famihrpic ture."H Jfc *f The painter introduced the likeness of wife No. 3, and the man expressed himself satisfied with the portraits of his three spouses. But the lady remon strated. Never was such a thing heard of. Her predecessors must go. The artist painted them out, then the man disputed the price. Copley sued him, and his son, the future Lord Lyndhurst, signalized his call to the Tbar by gaining his father's cause. Yon Cmn. Boll AnrtMng.mt A successful experiment was made at Columbia university in boiling away a silver dime. The dime was cut in strips and laid in the cup of one of the car bons of the arc light. The pointed car bon of the arc was placed above this and a strong current turned on. Under the intense beat the dime melted, sim mered and then boiled likg water. In I two minutes it had boiled away into' vapor. Professor Pupin, who conducted the experiment, declared any substance on earth, even 'granite rock, may be boiled away in similar fashion if only sufficient heat is brought to bear on it He also stated that any gas or liquid would freeze if it could be submitted to sufficient cold ?1^ CompliineJits of a Corpaie. j£?"l qient one summer at an 4)b§curo place the Virginia mountamsr*' said the business woman to me, "and[ I took with me a maid whoseJaome was some-, where near.
