BOTTOM OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY What a melancholy sight the bottom of San Francisco Bay must present? A 'diver recently told me of going down to the City of Chester, sunk many years ago at the mouth of the harbor by one of the large China steamers. He de- -seended with a stout heart and a mind inured in the it agedies of the sea, but when he saw t t -o sisters of charity sleeping quietly in their berths, and, near by, a man on his knees, swaying back and forth with the motion of the tide, and a dim mysterious light over all the sombre objects, his heart failed him, and he gave the signal to be hauled above. The San Rafael lies there, too. She went down in 11101, sent to the bot- tom by a collision with another steamer in a fog. The relentless tide runs over her cozy cabins and beautiful stairway, dank with the passage of time. And there lie also, caught in the sea- weed, the City of Rio Janeiro, the Es - cambia, the May Flint. and the Caleb Curtis, the lawt a pilot boat, sunk in a blinding fug.

Canadian Commercial agent at Leeds and Hull, Eng.. writes: At the present moment there is -every indication that Canadian turkeys will meet with fair demand on the British market this sea- son. According to the opinions express- ed. by well informed dealers the unseason- able weather which has been experienced at different periods of the year in this country bas seriously interfered with the rearing of all kinds of game. In cer- tain parts of the country this is the case to such an extent that shooting on some large estates has had to be aban- doned in consequence of the shortage of birds, the few that there are being required for breeding purposes. Local importers will rely largely this season upon. Canadian supplies, and it rests with exporters in Canada to try to meet thin dsfleiency and to assist them in ob- taining the best market prices.

Consul Frank W. Makin reports that new coal alines have recently been open- ed and others very much developed in the Nottingham, district, Improved methods and apparatus are also being applied to mining. Among these is the substitution of modern screens to clean and sort the coal, saving muelh time, while doing the work more thoroughly. Electric power and compressed air are also supplanting primitive methods of hauling coal out of the pits, and ingeni- ous methods of carrying miners to their work, saving the strength they would lose in walking, are being used. Mechanical appliances are now used for cleaning colliery tubs, which soon become caked with fine coal and dirt and have hitherto been cleaned by hand. The most expeditious device is a cir- cular scraping tool workd by an electric motor, which cleans a tub in a minute. It is estimated that the total capital employed in British coal mines is fully $500,000,000, arid that the present wages annually paid amount to $300,000,000. 9 0 d He Was Sitting Down.. The late James A. Bailey, famous as the successor of P. T. Barnum, once ac- cepted an invitation to a dinner tender; ed. to a bride and groom among the "freaks" of This uresis. He was late in arriving and found the company polite- ly awaiting him, says the Success Mag; agine. There were living skeletons, dwarfs, Circassians, enake charmers, the "girl that spoke seven lan.gu.ages and had two heads, which made 14 languages in all;" the "dog -fared boy" and . others. Beaming upon them with paternal air, the happy manager aeknowledgee the genial "hallo, pop," that went around the festal board. "I am sorry I kept you waiting." he said, taking his place at the table. "I believe there are several new additions to the company. Is this the groom?" "No," replied a deep voice from the full beard addressed, "I ant the bride." "I keg your pardon," tiaid l\lr'. Bailey, "I did not recognize the benrded lady. But, tell she, which is the groom." "I am," proclaimed a very thin voice. In astonishment Mr. Bailey glanced up at the figure towering near his elbow. "T congratulate 3,0u, my metal," said the man. "Sit down, let us on with the fesst---sit down." The guest addressed at once began to ascend seemingly until his head was in the neighborhood of the canvas roof, from which height he looked dowfi and said: "I was sittihe down, pop --I was sitt i' down!"

What the Lord Mayor Costs.. Tile maintenance of the pride, pomp and eircumstanee of civic state costs the Corporation of London a yearly sum of close upon £18,000. The Lord Mayor re- ceives £10,000, and the 111410m8 tax on that sum is paid for him, while he is al- lowed 4100 for the supply of new furni- ture, and his robes cost close upon £200. Then the rates, taxes and tithes payable on the Mansion house total upward of £3,000; the lighting involves an outlay of upward of 4570; the water supply costs £180, and fire and boiler insur- ance absorbs 4135. Next structural and other repairs represent an expenditure closely approaching 42,000, and periodi- catty there is a heavy "call" for special redecoration, the amount spent last year, for instance, on the Egyptian Hall being £500.

First—Sleep is temporary death of the functions of the sensitive system, due to exhaustion by fatigue. • Secondly—This death is temporary be-, cause the vital system continues to per- form its functions during sleep and restores the sensitive organs to their normal condition. For our purpose death may be consid- ered under the three heads, natural death, sudden death and death from disease. Natural death is death from old age. It differs from natural sleep only in degree. The gradual loss of sensibility by the sensitive organs which precedes sleep now takes place in the vital system, and all the organs pass into permanent sleep together. There can be no pain preced- ing or at the moment of such a death, any more than there is pain preceding and at the moment of passing into temporoary sleep. Sudden death may be defined as death due to a sudden injury from without or within the body sufficient to destroy at once all irritability of both the sensitive and vital systems. It requires no argu- ment to prove that a person who is sud- denly stricken dead can suffer no pain. The element of time must be present in order to suffer physical pain, and in the sudden death of a person the element of time is absent. We come now to consider the third and by far the most frequent form of death, namely, death front disease. As soon as disease is established dying begins, whieh is but a more rapid than natural ceasing of all sensibilities, accom- panied with more or less suffering. ac- cording to the cause which produces it-.• This dying and suffering, called disease, must terminate either in so-called death, which is insensibility to it, or in recov- ery, which is removal of the cause of it. But in any event the suffering has been endured, no matter whether the final termination is death or recovery. No one is conscious of nor can recall the moment he passes from waking into natural or temporary sleep. Nor shall we, by a "supreme agony," or in any other way, be conscious of passing into permanent sleep. Tieing born and dying are the two most important physiological events in the life history of our bodies, and we shall know no more about the latter event at the time it occurs than `we did' about the former, ._orb..
