Medical men are allowed by law from
ten to fifty dollars for holding a post
mortem by order of a coroner. Wesley
Raker's examination cost $33, juror's
fees, $12; coroner's fees, $10; Sheriffs
fees, $13.40, cost of analysing tho stom

(G) inches in diameter at bottom, two (2)
inches in diameter at top. Calling twelve

eight (8) times from bottom to top.
The telegraph problem as published
in trese columns last Tuesday was given
to the senior class at the high school the

correct answer, "74 f feet." We have an

credit on the scholars and their teachers,
although the arrav of figures, X, , and
geometrical designs, makes one imagine
that he were looking at a novel design

Dr. Paton'e Report.
"I have made a very careful chemical
and microscopical examination of a stom
ach and kidney received March
14, 1888, for the following poisons: Mer
cury, lead, silver, bismuth, copper, zinc,
antimony, arsenic, tin, prussic acid, oxal
ic acid, strychnia, morphia, nicotine, and
emetine and their salts and compounds,
and find that none of these are present.
I am yet, therefore, unable to state the
cause of death in this case, but should
recommend, from the geaeral appearaace
of the stomach and kidney, that the brain,
heart and lungs should be thoroughly ex
cxamined. If an examination and post
mortem examination be called for, it
should be done in the presence of the
toxicologist.
The stomach was found empty; six
and thiec-quarters (C j) inches in its great
est length, by three (3) inches in its
greatest width. When opened, a few
blood vessels were found engorged, es
pecially at the middle portion; the gen
eral color being of a pale pink, and the
mucous (inner) coat easily seperable from
the muscular evats; whilst, externally,
a pale blue tint could, here and there, be
observed. The kidney was, throughout,
of a dark reddish-brown hue.

"Everything loyely, everything nice, it

day night and am much pleasud with tho
place. It is larger than I thought it was;
has somewhere about twenty-five thous

I asked my cousin if he thought there
was any chance for you, he said he
thought it would be a good place, as
there was only one such a store, I have
forgotten what street it is ou.
Boats are booming and going all the
time.
I have not been around much yet as it
was late when I got .'icre. It is booming
here, lots of buildings going up; there is

"I have always noticed that n, man's

Distance of the Star.
In determining the distances of stars angu

six months, the parallax being the apparent
change of position which results from shift
lag the point of view about 183,000,000 miles,
the diameter of tho earth's orbit. Even with
this immense base line, the direction in which
the stars aro seen is scarcely altered. The
parallax of about a dozen stars, varying be
tween 0.919 seconds and 0.040 seconds, has
now been determined. The nearest star, to
us Is Alpha Centauri, distant about CO, 400,

great as this. Boston Budget.
