A New Line Of Transfer for Frelgb1
and Passengers.
ST. LOUIS, September AT a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
merchants exchange, this evening, Mr..
Nelson Teft, of Savannah, Georgia,
presented plan for new line of trans
portation for freight and passengers
from St. Louis TO Liverpool by way of
Savannah, the basis of which agree
ment between railroads from Savan-
nah to the trade centers in the south
and west is to transport freight and pas
sengers between Liverpool and points
on their lines at rates as low as by any
other route. Steamships are to
be furnished with coal at Savannah as
cheaply as at New York, and the
Savannah authorities agree that the
charges at that city shall not excee ed
the charges at New York. The board
passed resolutions approving the plan
for the route, and appointed committees
to act in connection with the commit
tees appointed by other bodies to aid in
perfecting the line.

a communication which ought Z
have a special interest for Staten Island
New Jersey, and other chill and fever
localities, has lately been addressed to
the French Academy of sciences by
NJ. Gimbert, who has been long engaged
in collecting evidence concerning the
eucalyptus globuus, tree of extraordi-
nary rapid growth, which attains huge
dimensions, and appears 10 possess an
extraordinary power Of destroying mias-
matte influence i'm fever-stricken dis
Itrcts. Ii has the singular property OF
absorbing ten times its weight of water
from the soil, and of emitting antiseptic
camphorus efiluvia. When sown in
Dlarshy ground il will dry ii up in a
very short time. The English were the
first 10 try it at the Cape, and within
two years they completely changed the
condition of the unhealthy parts
of the colony. A few years later its
cultivation was undertaken on a larger
scale in various parts Of Algeria. At
Pardock, 20 miles from Algiers, farm
situated OH the banks Of the Hamyze,
was noted for its extremely pestilential
air. In the spring of 1867 about TO-
OO0 of the eucalyptus were planted
there. IL July of the same year, the
time when the fever season used to set
in-not a single case occurred then the
trees werer not more than nine feet high.
Since then complete immunity from
fever has been maintained. In the neigh
borhood of Con stantine the farm of Ben
Machydlin was equally in bad repute.
Ii was covered with marshes, both in
winter and i'm summer. In five years
The whole ground was dried up by IA
200 of these same trees, and farmers and
children enjoy excellent health. AT the
factory of the Gay de Constantine, in
hree years platation Of eucalyptus has
twelve acres Of marshy soil
nto magnificent park, whence fever
las completely disappeared. In the
Island of Cuba, this, and all other palu-
ial diseases are fast dis appearing from
III the unhealthy districts where this
rec has been introduced. A station
rouse at one of the ends of railway
7iaduct in the department Of the Var.
was go pestilential that the officials could
rot be kept there longer than year.
Forty of these trees were planted, and
I is now rs healthy as any place on the
inc. We have no information as TO
this beneiicent tree will grow
n other than hot climetes. We hope
hat experiments will be made TO deter |
nine the point. .-Ex.

OBITUARY..
Death OF ProfessOrtAgassiZ.

Louis John Rodolph Agassiz, the most
leminent naturalist in the United States,
died last evening, at the age of sixty-siS
years lie was born on the 28th of May,
1907, in the parish of Mottier, Switzer-
land, where his father was pastor At
the age of eleven he entered the Gym
nasum of Bienne. Four years later hv
was removed TO the Academy of Lau-
same, as reward for proficiency i'm
science. At Munich, Heidelberg and
Zurich he studied medicine and the ex-
perimental sciences, taking the degree
of Nj. ID. at Munich. He gave especial
attention TO the subject of comparative
anatomy while prosecuting his studies
at these places, Introducing a new clas-
sification of fishes, with an account Of
one hundred and sixteen species collected
in Brazil, with the publication of which
he was early instructed. When thirty
two years Of age he published his "Nat-
ural History of the Fresh water fish of
Europe "Researches on Fossil Fishes,
and descriptions of Echnodermes-
appeared simultaneously with that work.
A little later his "studies of Glaciers"
which antagonized the then prevalent
veiws of geologists, appeared. lie came
TO this country twenty-seven years ago,
and began his labors here by delivering
a course of lectures in Lowell Institute.
Within the year he was appointed Pro-
lessor of Zoolog and Geology in the
Medical Schooly of Charleston, South
Carolina, which position he filled for
two years. lie was made Professor OF
Comparative Anatomy i'm the Charles
ton Medical College in 1852. In 1864
he published the work on Universal
Zoology" in conjunction with two other
scientific gentlemen. He had previous
ly, in lS4s-50, published geological
Biography" The French Academy of
Sciences awarded him prize and offer
cd him scientific chair, which he de-
clined. He has received the Cross Of
the Legion of Honor He was welded
TO science more closely, perhaps, than
any man we had among us, and his fame
was the possession Of two Continents.
His Pennecken Island School near Bos-
ton has occupied his latter attention.
His recent deep-sea explorations I'm
the South Pacific in the Hassler expedi-
tisn commanded wide attention from
scientific men and from the general pub
lie. lie does not leave his peer behind
him in this country. His enthusiasm ina
his chosen pursuits, which amounted to
n passion, was the genuine devotion of
cultured man TO the science he loved.
What manner of man he was is well IL
lustrated by single anecdote. Seven
or eight years ago New York Lecture
Committee offered him 5000 night TO
deliver course Of lectures. Preaching
The whole gospel OF culture, the great
man said TO the Committee: IL have no
time to make money Cincinnati Enq.

Bazaine's Conviction.

The court martial in the case OF
Marshal Bazaine, has closed its labors al
Versailles. and brought ia verdict OF
guilty, condemning brave soldier 10
the penalty of death. upon the charge OF
violating tho articles of war. ia the
lcapitulation of Metz and the surrender
of his army in the open field. The con-
viction may be in accordance with the
laws of France, but most unquestona-
bly his death would be great violation
of the laws of humanity. Whatever
may be the view taken by the court, or
what their conclusions may be drawn
from, we cannot understand. 1t is in
evidence that Bazaine was cooped up in
