Cremation has been practiced by most of the nations of the earth from the earliest ages, and. although in pa,gaa countries It may have taken the form of fire worshiping, there can be no doubt that Its adoption by the ancients wai for the most part prompt cd by , other than religions reasons. j Greeks ascribe Its Introduction to ller- ! cules. who, having sworn to transmit the , body of Argus to bis father. - thought this tbe most convenient way of fulfilling bis promise. According to Homer, the burning of tbe dead wus a common practice among the Greeks Ang before tbe Trojan war, but the ' earliest record of it is among the 8cythlans, who Inhabited tbe vast region known under the name of Tartar. 81ender accounts handed dowu concerning the manners of some of tbe .ancient natives of Hindustan also atj lude to the custom. The idea of puri fication by fire was In all ages universal, and with good reason. Some believed that the body was unclean after tbe departure of tbe soul, and it was therefore deemed necessary that it Should be purified by fire. Ovid expressed tbe general opinion of bis time when he said that tbe soul was not completely separated from the body until the latter was consumed on tbe pyre. Tbe Athenians Invariably after battle burned the slain. WHIPPED BY MACHINERY. wtomatio Floggera Used by Several - European Armies. Automatic flogging machines are in among the military forces of sevI European nations. For many ars the whipping was always done iy soldiers under the command of an Ocer, and the punishment varied, acTdlng to the personal relations sub lsting between the soldier and his TicIt was to correct this disadvange that the flogging machine was inented. . Tbe machine is automatic in action. nod as soon as the culprit is fastened p position a spring is tightened or aosened to gauge the exact force of he blow. A pointer is moved over a plal to the requisite number of strokes and the mechanism Is started. TTith perfect regularity the victim's pack la scourged by the throngs, the Landle of the whip being moved by a screw device after each stroke so that .the lash does not fall on tbe same spot pnroughout the punishment. Each blow is of uniform severity. sad as soon as the required number taa been given the machine comes to Si rest and the offender U released. With the assurance that tbe exact punbnaent ordered has been meted oat t him. Harpers Weekly.

The Conductor's Baton. According to the Investigations of a Freuchmau, the credit of inventing the conductor's baton belongs to Lully, the composer, who eventually bad cause to regret his invention. Before he adopted the baton conductors were In the habit of pounding on the floor with their feet or clapping their hands to mark the time. Lully found it wearisome to keep his foot constantly in motion and so used a stick to strike the floor and beat time, lie used a pole six feet long. One day he brought down the pole with such force that it struck his foot and made a deep wound. He paid no attention to the matter. The wound grew worse and ultimately caused his death. After bis time conductors tried more and more to improve the baton, and it was ultimately brought to Its present form. Extra Cautious. They were returning to America after a European honeymoon. "George." petulantly. "I really reel hurt. Over on the other side you declared I was a Jewel, and you haven't repeated it since we have been aboard." "Hist!" cautioned George, holding up a warning finger. "If I declared you a jewel I might have to pay duty. You know these customs men are terribly strict these days." Chicago News. Quito Willing.

CRATER LAKES. Mexico Has Some of the Most Perfect of These Peaceful Pools. The mere words "crater lake" carry with them a charm and mystery that are akin to romance. But Mexico, with all her romance, has never given abroad any description of some of tbe most beautiful crater lakes in the world. Valle de Santiago, a little town of the state of Guanajuato, boasts four of the most perfect and beautiful of such lakes. The village nestles among eleven craters, all formed in some past age by sudden explosions from the interior of the earth, explosions that blew out a great amount of earth, formed low cones and subsided without flow of lava or other demonstration than the single explosion. They are what are known to science as "explosion craters." The calm restfulness of the crater lake is unlike anything in tbe world. One finds lakes and solitary pools in forests or mountain fastnesses, and the calm there is akin to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing breezes, and the tres will wave above in the wind. But In a crater lake there is not a breath that will stir it, and even a stone cast into its bosom creates ripples that seem as though they would be swallowed ere they are born. Peace is a word without a meaning until one lies silent on the slope of sueb a crater, with eucb a lake at bis feet. Mexican Herald. Bedouins and Water. It Is cot unusual to hear a Bedouin upon reaching a camp where water Is offere.1 him refuse it with the remark. 'I diunk only yesterday." On the Bedouins' long marches across dry countries the size of the water skins is nicely calculated to just outlast the journey, and they rarely allow themselves to break the habit of abstemiousness, as this would be sure to make their next water fast all the harder. They are accustomed from infancy to regard water as a most precious commodity and use it with religious economy. Tbey know every hollow and nook in the mountains where water may be found. Their camels and goats, which tbey take with them on their marches to supply them with milk and meat, live principally on the scanty herbage and foliage of the thorny mimosa. Neither men nor animals drink more than once in forty-eight hours. No wonder they can subsist where Invaders oujc.blc CPrisb. . Insulting. Toungley I have just been insulted by the insolent oid barber who shaved me. Youther Indeed ? "Yes, he said shaving me reminded him of a game he used to play called hunt the hare."

A STRENUOUS TIME

FOR ADMIRAL TOGO Japanese Hero Put in Some Very Busy Hours at the . National Capital. (National News Association WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Admiral Togo's program today was a strenuous one. Ever since the Japanese hero arrived in Washington he has been on the jump, and today was no exception. In the morning the admiral accompanied by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop and Captain T. M. Potts, U. S. N., and his personal suite, visited the Washington navy yard. There the admiral saw big naval guns being given their finishing touches. The marine corps turned out and presented arms, while the naval band played the national airs of the United States and Japan. The sea fighter showed great interest in everything connected with the yards. On the way back to the hotel the party paid a flying visit to the national library, where Admiral Togo admired the magnificent decoration of the main reading room and the gorgeous mural paintings in the entrance hall. A luncheon in the Admiral's honor was given by Huntington Wilson, assistant secretary of state after the return from the navy yard. The party then went to the Arlington National cemetery to visit the tomb of Admiral Farragut. Admiral Togo was then escorted to Rock Creek cemetery where he placed flowers on the grave of Matsua, a personal friend who died while a midshipman at the United States naval academy. Tonight the admiral will be the guest of the secretary of the navy at a dinner. After the dlriner a reception will be tendered by the Army and Navy club. Sporting Gossip BASEBALL NOTES Mitchell and Krichell of the St Louis Browns Nice sounding battery that. "Kid" Nichols, th old Boston pitcher, ia scouting for the Detroit Tigers.
