CREMATION IN CALCUTTA.
An Englishman representative interviewed Dr. J. Niel Cook, Health Officer of Calcutta, the other day on the subjent. of cremation in Calents. Dr. Crak, considers no town could be worse suited for burn than Calcutta, for as sou as one gees beyond the town in any direction one finds nothing but low lying land only fit for growing muds. No place fit for burial can be made, unless earth is brought from a distance, and though the early Chris. tains are said to have brought carth from Mount Calvary for the first burial round in Rome, it is a costly business bringing earth for a much shorter distance. Fortunately the Hindus, who constitute a large proportion of the population, have always burned their dead except infants, and as a matter of fact, though a burial ground is provided for them, many of the Hindus burn their infant dead, Bombay, where a similar difficult is experience, has provided. à crematorium for Europgans, but 7 believe, he said, that it has not been muck A European lady, the wife of used as yet.
A REMARKABLE CRIMINAL.'
The most remarkable case of revival after execution was perhaps that of a man at Orleans, who in 1747 was broken on the wheel. The highs, legs, and arms were broken, and the executioners, believing the victim to be dead, handed him to the surgeon. He was laid in the anatomical theatre tn.he lectured upon. when to the astonishment of the lecturer and the pupils the corpse sneezed violently. Then the Surgeon determined to save his life if possible, so he commenced his lecture by

A special to the Sun from Washington says. The career of ocean derelict which has been meandering around in the Nonh Atlántic ocean for many months has been cut short by the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's famous

WASHINGTON, June 18th.. The census to day issued a bulletin giving the population of incorporated places in the country. The bulletin shows that there are 10,60z such places, as compared with 7,578 in 1899. The bulletin shows thirty-eight cities containing more than 100,000 people each. Of the large cities in 1970 three New York, Chi cago and Philadelphia-contain more than a million inhabitants, the same as in 1890, while for cities having between 500,000 and 1,000,000 inhabitants those in 1900 number three, as against one only in 1890. There were no cities in 1900 containing between 400,000 and 500,000 inhabitants, but at the census of 1800 there were three cities of this class. On the other hand there are five cities in 1900 with a population of between 300,000 and 400,000 but in 1890 there were no, cities coming between these limits of population.
