Convulsions follow each other with great rapidity and so great is the agony of the sufTerer that no dose of opiates is sufficient to afford relief short cf a fatal one. As a touch of veri table horror to the already terrible agony tetanus usually imparts to the face a peculiar and ghastly grin. The sufferer lives from one to eignt days berore death merci fully puts an end to the agony."

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. Pronosal to Tear It Down for the Bulldlnff Stone It Contains. New York Sun. Four or five companies, European and American, are said to be interested in the nrnnAoof. t t n 4 n tr Hnwn rv f tViA ffrAilt TV911 ft China. The wall happens to be in the best state of repair In districts that are most I . AiAoethla on t-iitm ilrki i a an A it 1 IpVAil that building stone from the wall will be worth fortunes to those who may secure the concession to tear it down. There are supposed to be fully 4,000 million cubic feet of masonry in the great structure, which has a total length of about two thousand miles, including its many windings and the double and triple lines of wall that are constructed at some places. In the end the wall was a failure, for it could not keep out of China the hosts of Genghlz Khan, who swept over it and con quered the country in tho thirteenth century. After that time the wall ceased to have any strategic Importance, but for fourteen centuries before the great conqueror lived the wali had well served its purpose. It stretched all along the northern frontier of China and none of the hordes of the north had been able to pass it. Day and night for centuries Chinese guards wero mounted on the towers that overtopped the wall and they always gave timely notice of the approach of an enemy. Garrisons were stationed at every gate and natural passage through the walls, and towns sprang up at these encampments, many of which became important market places. Thus the wall really helped China to develop into a strong nation, for during the process the great barrier was of much assistance in keeping outside barbarians from molesting the country. Time has left its marks upon this hoary monument of China's early civilization. The climate is severe, and the fierce winter blasts from the Mongolian plains alternating with hot winds from the south in the change of the monsoon are enough to crumble the best of masonry. A good deal of the earliest wall has undoubtedly disappeared, and from century to century much of the structure was repaired or entirely rebuilt. In the course of this work the lines of the wall for long stretches were wholly changed, and the work of different generations is apparent in the various architectural aspects of the structure. The eastern part of the wall, north of Peking, is supposed to have been the latest to be repaired and rebuilt, and it is now in a very good state of preservation, while for stretches further west it has disappeared entirely. The Chinese are much given to walls. The word for city In the Chinese language means a walled town, and the law of the empire requires that every city be surrounded by a wall of specified height. This law, however. Is not strictly observed, and the walls around many cities have been allowed to crumble and afford no protection whatever. It happens sometimes that a city fears an attack, and then there is a great bustle at the walls, for a large force of men is put at work repairing them. DESTROYING O.D CARS. Not an Easy Thins: to Do Trains Wrecked Dally. The Manufacturer. The American Car and Foundry Company has lately bought 13,000 small wooden coal cars from the Lehigh Valley Railroad. These used to be run over the line, as well as the Philadelphia & Reading and other coal-carrying 'oads. but are too small for rresent uses, and they have to be discarded for cars better adapted to present traffic conditions. They were, accordinely. sold to the Car and Foundry Company for scrap, each car containing approximately two an a half tons of scrap, not counting me wneeis ana axies. ine company has also got hold of 3,000 box cars, which it desired to break up. Accordingly a piece of grouna several acres in extent was leased near Detroit.

At first it was the intention of the comnanv to turn the cars over to the Poles, and such other people as might desire the Dr vi ere. civ ing them all the wood they might get for tne xearinK aown or the cars. This plan was not successful, however, because it was soon discovered that the wreckers were taking more iron worth from 4 a cent to X cent a pound than was deslra-

Whenever it is possible to do this tha body of the car is lifted from the trucks and swung over the cremation pi!e. In the case of the coal cars they will not ser arate so conveniently. Accordingly a train of ten or fifteen cars is mad up. Then & locomotive adjusts it.plf, without coupling to this train, and with a good start the train is sent a great speed out on one of the portable tracks. When at full headway the train is abandoned by the locomotive and the cars go pell-mell to tha wreck heap, piling one on top of the other four or live deep.
