with the darkness then wu not even tht chance of oar running tha gauntlet put one of the three pursuers f sat closing in oh iu the one course that appeared open to as not to much to escape u to prolong tha chase for a time wu to put the schooner before the wind and so run through be tween the more distant pursuer oa oar star board quarter and the frigate ahead of us this the enemy evidently expected us to do for with aha last glimmer ot light we could tee the late comer shift her course n h to cut ui off in this attempt very soon it iwea pttoh dark ah aidy- looking oight with the sea still running high though the wind had gone down a good deal with oat nightglasses wo oould easily make oat the tails of the three fri gates dimly white in the darkness sad their lightt busily piog sloft signalling to one another we still held oar our own well with out first partners but it seemed to us all only an affair of minutes safe denly eaymond gave a quick order to furl all sail to take ta every stitch u fast as possible in a moment oar few and cloee- lyreefed sails were furled and the wasp lay almost molionlesi on the water at i came bsck to the quarterdeck from my sta tion forward i heard eaymond say now horner hoist away that cuk ateady my lads steady dont show the light till its over the side and then a heavhy-ballaitod- case waa lowered over the tide with a light and

fri gates in a very short time we had got to windward of the weathermost one and even at the worst we were in a much better position than when we iovtmd the cask whoss light we ooold ifctll a heaving up and down far away to leeward all three frigate now began to fire their bow gun u fut u the heavy sex would al low them bat with no effect against the cuk which ttql bobbed along but when raymonds

old jsck it was quite dark and nothing could be seen the least like sail though i found the old boatswain anxiously scaoning the waste of fumbling wave to the south- wrd nothing in tight i think i tild to him after careful sweep with my night- gus well tir answered he theres no thing that looks like a sail bat- yet just a minate aince i got glimpse of white that tuu be the ctpof t wtve but i

again just at that moment a bit of circles steering let the schooners hesd pay off a little horner at once turned round to rate the helmsmtn but before he coald uy a word the man began yelling oat torrent ot bath at some iabber forwsrd who had showed a light mind yoor helm d n yoar eyes cried horner and leave forad alone r bat before the man coald uy word of apology the sounds of a scuffle forward set at both running to se i what it waa la the forecastle we found the lookout man i a boiling rage tad with an ugly knifewound in his forearm t seemed that he glancing aloft had noticed a man creeping cautiously up the foretopmest and lathing a lantern where the light though so arranged u to be invitibla from below would hire been of course a perfect guide toanyipursuer- three flashes of the lan tern and then it had gone out and it had all happened so quickly that the discover er had notime fo do more than yell out be fore the light had disappeared the traitor had slipped down too atonce and though the man had rushed forward to catch him a blow from hit knife luckily caught on the forearm had thrown the tar into a moment tary confusion sufficiently long to let the ructl escape he was ode of them jack spaniards ot course sir i can swear he told me and i am nearly sure it wu the swab bob heynwthe jolly pat his bayonet in however when we went below this man my old enemy and the other two captive volanteert were found quietly snooting in their hammocks with no trace ither of bloody knife or signal lantern the third cortican wu on the atabr on deck and several witnesses were ready to neear he wu net the man 3ymond who had been routed wu strongly of opinion that the oulpritwas the spaniard but- make sure be and the other two were put in irons and a tentry with a

not knock a spar about their ears the frigate had taken no notice of our re iztitiug us at a big dog dots tha snapping of an angry terrier but at jacks fourth shot we could see from a commotion on board that soma damage had been done and almost immediately three of berquar- terdeck guns aimed very high tent their hot among our rigging one of them knocking the hilt ofour fontopmast to pieces tnd cutting oar jib halliards withoat headttil the poor wasp wu for the moment anmanageable and u the fri gate ceased firing she evidently thought the battle over but the wasp had still a sting left while

or we should have born blown out of the water long before oar keel touched the ground on sanchoa bay as it wa the wasp took the sand a perfect wreck to much so that horner could not take her to the place he wanted and bad to ground her agood bit further out thai wu at all desirable the men ia irons hid been releued and they u well u the crew had kicked off shoes and made ready for the swim

boatswain and i broke into the magazine and stnwed a train of gunpowder from it to a- alow match on the quarterdeck calculated to blow the little wup to pieces long before the boat that we saw the nearest frigate lowering u we leftcould reach the schooner supporting eaymond between us horner and i swam- ashore with some difficulty and had just scrambled on to the sand when with a loud roar and a magnificent bunt of name the gallant little wasp went up to tbe sky in fragments and then set tled below the waves she had ao long brave ly breatted the french boats apparently suspecting she would be blown up bad wised owing when they saw ui land and now that the schooner wu destroyed their purpose seemed to be served for when they had been hoisted on board the frigate she and her consorts set

the young ostriches were safely hatched but the hopes which wen that raised of rearing a large flock of birds wen destroyed the chick being killed either by sudden storms of rain or by a disease which hu bees observed to attack the birds in south africa u well si in ana toli the young chickens exhibit the first sym ptom of ilineat by appearing unsteady on their f eet and this gradually increases till they are at length unable to stand still and must either keep moving about rapidly or fal to the ground the appetite all the time keep u good u arerand remains to until near the end when the

from the loudon eaoitarr bseorel in burning a body the product lor com- bastioa which escape by the chimney carry with tbem besides tbe gists arising from tho perfect decomposition of the body a oertain quintity of organic particles not en tirely burnt which make their pretence known by that peculitr burnt odoar which we perceive when a cloud of smeke in a suf ficiently concentrated state falls- to the ground this organic volatilized matter which is recognized by its peculiar odoar is considered by sanitarians to be perfectly in nocuous and ia fact it is clear that mole- oolet which have been subject to a oertain temperature cannot possibly contain petti- lentttl germs or cany infection on the other hand it is argued that the said odour is by no means agreeable and moreover give the painful impression that some par ticle of the body have escaped from the crematoriam withoatbeing perfect ly oxi dized and without being transformedintd those vapours which mix with the atmos phere the thought of an esespa iof imper fectly decomposed cadaverous molecules hit the tame mental effect as though during the cremation a part of the ashes of the body had disappeared and been lost when u t mat ter of feeling we recognize the need of pre serving them in their integrity j it wu necesstry therefore to find some mode ot suppressing that odour in order that its pretence should not cause annoyance er pain tbe remedy wu not difficult to dis cover in the interior of the chimney a grating it placed over which is kept burning a sufficient quantity of ooke the products of combustion

second at the boundaries between the amice tad the crematory chamber it hu always been found necessary jo erect a wall separating completely the one part from the other it is necessary in short that the farnaoe should be a closed roomy chamber and one the other hand that the crematory ahould be placed outside the tame and perfectly free it n necessary that nothing ahqnla intervene to disturb the calm which reigns- within the crematory while the rite of cremation ia proceeding as the products of combustion have to envelope the corpse from head to foot so the commuhicatioxr between the ererhatory chamber and the ehimney tor the vent of the- smoke is necessarily opened in the cham ber itself at the end opposite to that which communicates with the furhico it wu found much better te open such communica tion in the bottom of the crematory chamber rather than in the- ceiling because in the latter casethe products cteombtation drawn upward are for the most part condensed in hit empty space where the body does not not lie whereu in the former case drawn downward they powerfully oompassed the body whose destruction it wu their missies to effect this smoke conduit which opens upon the bottom of the crematory chamber at one of its exttemitiet descends to a cer tain distance shdj then dividing into two penetrate intot the lateral walls of the ere- matory chamber until on each side they enter the wall of the ceiling where hey meet and again form one conduit which leida straight to the chimney into which it opens between the principal furnace below and that in the

and to transforming it into sn altar it will hardly be needful to explain what is to be done to introduce the body into the crematory chamber and to extract the ashes from it or to describe the necessary sonar- atns and the forms which have to be follow ed in order to carry out thoee two very im portant operations without any iacoaveni- ence to solve the difficulties bel to this part of the subject an ingenious truck invented by prof celeste clericetti for the service of jhi first crematdrium erected in the cemetery of milan which ia known under the name of its two inventors jolli and
