It is the experience of many Western
States that general and thorough geolOgi-
cal survey has been the means of developing
within their borders industries to which they had
previously been strangers. The survey, which
is now nearly brought to completion in Ohio,
forms the basis of report of which an ab-
stract is elsewhere given. Aside from the
suggestive facts which this report furnishes
respecting the vast beds of coal and iron that
underlie the State, it contains, in series of
essays from men who have made these sub
3ects specialties, compendium of valuable
practical information concerning chemical and

Another letter from our correspondent with
the Hassler Expedition, published in The
TRIBUNE to-day, gives some curious and
interesting information relative to the recent
discoveries of Prof. Agassiz. His deep-sea
soundings have brought to the surface a
new crustacean which seems to stand outside
of ali previous classifcations. This creature,
supposed to be related to the trilObites of the
carboniferOus era, is likely to be an important
addition to discoveries already made, as it
will, possibly, afford link in the missing
connection between the past and present.
The new crustacean also helps to fulfill some
of the predictions which the great naturalist
made before sailing.

HEARING OF THE LEWISTON PETITIONERS BY
THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
AUGUSTA, January 16-The hearing of the
petitioners for charterfor railroad from Lew
iston to the Grand Trunk in Auburn took place
this afternoon.
Hon. Nelson Dingley, Jr., appeared for the
petitioners and said that the road was demand
ed by the business men of Lewiston to give con-
nection with the West. With Lewiston and
Auburn the matter of cheap transportation was
one of life and DEATH having but one-third of
their water power developed. The Maine Cen
trail did not accommodate the cities.
Judge Rice appeared in opposition. He asked
the committee to thoroughly consider the mat
ter before they granted a charter that would so
materially affect the Maine Central which had
expended from $500, 900 to 100000 to accom-
modate the business of those cities more than
any others He thought it a little cruel at least,
when they had done SO much, to come in and
ask for a competing and parallel line Ar
rangements had been made for cars that could
be adjusted to the change of gauge, and no man
could complain that those cities are not now af-
forded proper facilities for travel. He stated
that Lewiston corporations were declaring semi
annual dividends of ten per cent. and upwards
When for twenty years the Maine Central had
struggled and never divided penny He
would like to see a statement of facts showing
the necessity of the road. al
Mr. Dingley, in reply, secuted the idea of it's
being against the usage to grant charters for
parallel roads, and cited that granted the Maine
Central from Danville to Cumberland He de-
med that this was done for the benefit of Lew
lston. AS to the change of cars to the change
OF gauge, it was attended with much delay, and
it now cost S. per car more for every car pass
ing from Danville junction to Lewiston than
formerly. He denied that the manufacturing
companies divided 20 per cent The dividends
were not more than from to per cent, and it
was unfair to prejudice the case with such
statements. If the railroad had not made diyi-
dends it was because they had expended it in
building roads; at any rate their property was
rapidly increasing The further consideration
went over to Friday
THE GENTLEMAN FROM WHITEFIELD. .-t
MIR. Carleton this morning ''rose to question
of privilege" He referred to an item in the
PRESS, which assumed that he attempted to
lead the House. He denied such an aspiration
most Indignantly He then proceeded: And
inasmuch, more especially, as the inquiry had
been made by all sinners, in all ages of the
world-the chiefs of whom may be authors of
this sheet-when reproved of their unrighteous
and ungodly deeds, and warned of the judg-
ment which awaits them, not only in the life
that now is but in the life to come-What shall
we do to be saved? he would say to them, ''bet-
ter take in your scare-crow; the corn is up and
taken deep root" MIR. Lebroke thought that

The wesibrook Horse Cars.

To the Editor Of the Press
DEAR SIR:-Will you kindly permit Wests
brook man to say word through your widely
read columns, in reference to the horse railroad.
I am not a stakeholder in it, but as citizen of
Westbrook, doing business in Portland | feel
interested in its welfare, and, in common with
a large majority of our citizens, have felt that
the road was being run for some purpose at va
rance with our interests as well as those of
Portland, and its own prosperity. We conse-
quently gladly hail the change of management
which is about to be inaugurated.
Let me say to the new managers, that one of
our principal grievances has been the CANAL
gamation" of the horse railroad with the Maine
Central railroad; that huge monopoly which
has sprung upon the State of Maine like q
mushroom-full blown in a highland whose
insatiate hands like those OF Rriareus reach out
in hundred directions after every road, great
or SMALL which it desires to amalgamate, and
if it has not swallowed up our little horse rail
road it certainly seems to have pressed it into

A special meeting of both branches of the
City Council was held last evening.
IN BOARD OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
A communication was received from the En-
gineers of the Fire Department, asking the ap-
proval of rule prohibiting more than one line
of hose shall be run from hydrant in case of
fire without permission of one of the engineers.
1t was referred to the Committee on Fire De-
partment
A communication was received from the
County Attorney, setting forth that in accor-
dance with the terms of bond given to the
County Commissioners suitable accommoda-
tions should be provided by the city in the City
Building for county purposes; and further re-
lating that in case of disagreement between the
two parties the matter be referred to one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court of Massachus-
etts. The communication alleges that suitable
provisions have not been made, according to
said bond, and the County Attorney now asks
the city to select such judge to adjudicate upon
the matter. The communication was referred
to the City Solicitor.
An order was passed disseminating so much

Mr.. G. z. Kimball explained the intent of the
order to be for the purpose of presenting the
advantages of the city of Portland for manu-
facting enterprises. 1T is understood that this
order supersedes the order passed at previous

BUSINESS NOTICES.
BY w. T. Walker, M. ID.

From the Medical Record of November LIST, 1911
Having been requested to state what know
therapeutically of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex-
tract of Pinus Canadensis, and furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, I beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous mem
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine.
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. 1 have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. / have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of claret and tannin.
1t is certainly most valuable astringent and
tonic; and doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Materia Medica.

Mr. FELLOWS is daily in receipt of letters
inquiry, from various parts respecting his Sy-
rup of Hypophosphites. One recently received
leads to the belief that the public mistake his
meaning in reference to its effect in imparting
superior energy to the mind. When the intel
lect has been impaired by overwork or by kim
bred causes, the use of the Syrup, together with
proper precautions in the use of food, clothing,
exercise and rest, will restore full power to the
brain and nerves. Superiority of genius con-
sists in great capacity of brain for assimilating
material from every quarter, and of developing
in proportion, but as by far the greater number
are not well endowed by nature, consequently
lacking this capacity, it would be quite impos-
sible to find Uranium space for material neces-
sary to constitute the brilliant genius. Hence
although the Syrup will assist in restoring the
mind which is lost, it cannot change natural
born idiot into an Intelligent man.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the lat

woman knows that he is thinking of the form
en- Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their laRgngs is to be beautiful. The grand
secret OF female beauty is health, the power to
eat, digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BrrTERs. 1t
