Grave Opened by Tree.
In the Gartenkirchhof, Hanover, is
A grave covered by a mighty etone, on
which an inscription appears to the
effect that the grave should never be
opened by human hands. The seed of
a birch fell through a crack in the
stone, and, developing to a large tree,
opened the grave in its upward growth.
The tree has now withered and de
cayed. When it is removed the grave
will again be closed. .......

MiKlnky Day.
"The Carnation I eigne of America,'
instituted as an annual memorial to the J
late President William McKinely and
dedicate! to national patriotism, is a
fixed institution and insures a perennial
observance of January 20th, the anni-
versary of ins wrtn, as "Jicivinicy
Ihiy." To wear the late presidnet's
favorite flower, the carnation, in the
lapel of the coat, in the hair, or at the
throat, in silent memory of a departed
public servant, is what is contemplated
by this movement, in which the young
and old of both sexes can have a part.
The custom was firt observed on Jan
uary 2iUh, 1903, with, the greatest
nuanimity throughout the country, and
by Americans all over the world. It
is a simple, inexpensive act and full of
patriotic sentiment. All through Mr.
McKinley's life, both public and pri
vate, there lan a distinct vein of senti
ment, and a memorial of this sort is,
therefore, peculiarly appropriate to
him.
The custom will undoubtedly be ob
served the coming 29th day of January
more universally, if that is possible,
than on the initial day, a year ago.
Interest In the memorial has increased
wonderfully during the past year, and
Mr. Lewis G. Reynolds, of Dayton,
Ohio, who suggested the idea, has re
ceived letters of the most unqualified
annroval from Americans everywhere.
o expectation is nau oi giving tne
movement the importance of local or
ganisations or annual meetings and
conventions, but in a quite, unobtrus
ive way it can be made to wieia an in
fluent for irood almost incalculable
and to foster a spirit of true patriotism

ELECTRICITY IN WARFARE.
It la Widely Ceed, la (he rertiflcetloee
Along the Coast.
An Interesting Instance of the rapid
extension of the use of electricity Is
furnished by the fortifications distrib
uted along our coast. A few years
ago the electric light was Introduced,
to add to the comfort ot the garrisons
and to provide better Illumination ot
the works. Once a generating plant
had been Installed there was at hand
a supply of power In a convenient
and easily controllable form, and this
led to its use for purposes which were
not contemplated at the time the plant
was Installed, Electric fans have been
put in to make the living quarters
more comfortable tn hot weather, and
electric motors have been adopted for
training the guns, a class of work for
which they are particularly well adapt
ed. Motors are used to drive the am
munition hoists and to do other work
which before had either been done by
hand or some less satisfactory power.
Searchlights have been Installed, en
abling a fortification to sweep the sea
at night The various posts of the
fortress are connected together by tel
ephone, so that the commandant Is In
touch at all times with the entire gar
rison, and can instantly transmit or
ders to any point The various fortifi
cations along the coast are tied to
gether by telephone and telegraph, so
that on the appearance of the enemy
at any point all the fortifications
would be Informed of It Submarine
mines are controlled electrically, and
even the guns may be fired by this
mean! by an officer at some distant
point By means of wireless telegra
phy a fortification can be kept In touch
with the scouting vessels, and would
be informed of the approach of the
enemy long before he Is visible from
the coast' The telautograph may be
brought into service for transmitting
orders, and electric signaling lights
are replacing the older types. Electric
lights are used for rangeflnder cross
hairs, for lighting the rangeflnder sta
tion, and electric clock circuits fur
nish accurate time to all parts of the
fortification. To Insure the continuity
of these manifold services accumula
tors are now Installed, so there will
at all times be a constant and reliable
supply of power. Thus, from being
at first a small auxiliary, the electrical
equipment has extended until It Is
now probably the most Important part
of the entire equipment of the fortress.

BELL AND DRAGON.

aa a Mgn In London.
The English are a muslc-lovlng na
tion, and they love to hear music even
when going about their dally occupa

towers of her mighty cathedrals are
hung full of glorious bells. So fond of
bell-ringing Is "Merrie England" that
Handel once said the bell Is her na
tional Instrument It is not strange,
therefore, that we find this Instru
ment frequently adopted as a public
blgn. From early in the seventeenth
century Bell Inns were numerous In

which has the proud distinction of be

Quyney wrote, in 1598, to bis "loving

"David Copperfleld."
'One of the most ancient and reputa
ble wholesale druggists in the city,
while rebuilding on his old site, dug
out of the foundations of the ancient
house an old sign of "The Bell and
Dragon." It had lain there for more
than two hundred years, having been
used on a prior building before the
disasters of the Great Fire, and had
fallen through into the general ruins.
The peculiarity of the situation Is that
the firm had adopted 'The Bell and
Dragon" as their trade mark before
the discovery of this fire-touched relic.

The properties of radium are ex
tremely curious. This body emits with
great intensity all of the different rays
that are produced in a vacuum-tube.
The radiation, measured by means of
an electroscope, Is at least a million
times more powerful than that from an
,uajtUxof.-uraplum. .A charged
electroscope placed at a distance of sev
eral metres can be discharged by a few
centigrams of a radium salt One can
also discharge an electroscope through
a screen of glass or lead five or six
centimetres thick. Photographic plates
placed in the vicinity of radium are al
most Instantly affected if no screen in
tercepts the rays; with screens, the ac
tion Is slower, but it still takes place
through very thick ones if the ex
posure is sufficiently long. Radium can
therefore be used In the production of
radiographs. Century.

How the Cherokee Nation Oets Over
the Kace Frableui.
The race problem tn the Cherokee
nation Is solved to the general satis
faction of tbe three races concerned
and ths intermediary mixed bloods.
In the location of homes the Cherokee
fullbloods and negroes ars mostly in
settlements. The intermarried whites
largely are in the towns and terrl
tory contiguous to each other. The
Cherokee speaking citizens much pre
fer to associate together.
In the nation there are thirty
schools attended by fullblood Cherokee
children and seventeen by negro chll
dren. Tbe negro blood schools are not
so by legal requirement, but as a corol
lary of their preference to live near
each other. The Cherokee and negro
do not Intermarry or socially mingle
Two seminaries and an orphan asylum
are attended by fullbloods and mixed
bloods only, tbe colored high school
by negroes only.
In the incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same
schools, and race prejudice and undue
feeling on either side are being lost
In fellowship and friendship cultivated
in the class room and on the play
ground. Both sides are better satisfied
in the combined schools than when
they were kept separata. Fullbloods
seem to mingle as freely with white
renters and their families of good
character as they do with mixed
bloods.
Of the 88,500 citizens of tbe Chero
kee nation tbe best statistical informa
tion gives about 8,500 fullbloods, 3,200
intermarried whites, 22,800 mixed
bloods and 4,000 freedmen. Kansas
