theories concerning it are various, the physi-

FIRST, the malaria is due to germ re

the germs on the hlllsides as well us along the

the central part Of New England. The phy.
slelHns VINO hold this view deny that tho

stevens stupidity.

The closing act ola foolish and costly farce
was played nj Hobokcn, New Jersey, one day
last W ok, when the famous stevens bat.
ter" was sold for $50 700 Tho idea of con.
strucllng tins battery was conceived by Mr..
Robert Il. Stevens, New Jersey millionaire.
as far back as 1889 His design was to CON
struct floating battery that could bid def
ance to toe combined fleets of the world, and
TO leave II as a legacy 20 his native state. 1t
seems odd that man who knew enough 10
make several millions in trade didn't know
that uader thu constitution OF tho United
States il would be Impossible for Now Jersey
to accept or retain his gift, no state being
permitted to own n war vessel. The build.
Tag OF the battery commenced in 1913. Int
IN 1907 1t was found that such great i'm.
provements had beea made in proectiles
that the original plans would not answer.
and tho work was begun anew. The vessel
was to be built entirely of iron and steel.
During tina lifetime Of Mr. Stevens upward
OF $1,000 900 was spent ON the battery,
though the progress made in its construction
was scarcely perceptible. At his death he
left y ,0OO,0C0 more to complete the work,
and that has been expended with tho excep,
ton OF about 100000, The hall of the
vessel is all there is to show for this vast ex.
penditure OF money, and it has been pro.
nounced valueless, except as old iron. The
heirs OF the eccentric Stevens made an effort
TO have his will set aside, in order that they
might secure possession of tho 81 10000
letl for the completion OF the battery, but
the courts of the state held that he had A
right to make such disposition of his wealth
as no saw tit, and refused to Interfere. The
investment has not proved profitable in a
financial way, and neither will it count for
much as a monument to the memory of the
eccentric individual who made it. lie might
have endowed college, founded n hospital
or asylum, or established free public library
with his money, and won the gratitude Of
millions yet to be- His ambition was poor
one at best, and ftw will regret that it has
failed entirely. ~

That good old story of the inaccurate but

legislature is so exquisitely applicable to
General Garfield and the present canvass that
1t might prop rly enough be kept standing in
every Democratic newspaper. Democratic
editors, however have shown the Or, attest

Mr. Evarts has seen fit to give public u ter
ance to II pale and sickly parody Of it by
dwelling upon General Garield's "beneyo-

forbesrance ceases to DO virtue and we are
compelled to confront the orator with the

-blspalcn,
Prof. LOOMS has been lecturing Ia New
York on the present worth of the medical
science ilo has proved Concusivcly that
there has been great advance in the heal
Ing art within the century. TO adduces hos
pILal statistics TO show the great steps that
have been made in saving life. OF the 10000
who yearly pass through the Paris hospitals
900 more lives arc saved than formerly. III
obsLetflc operations ono in sixty died in
years gone by. The rate now is one in two
hundred and sixteen. The rate of mortality
In New York has decreased thirty per cent.
In the last two years, and in France irty.two
days have been added to the average human
life In the present century, These statistics
are interesting, as there are few people who
do not expect Mt soma time to die and who
arc not anxious to put off the evil day MS far
as possible. They are cheerful figures, too.
II the death rate in New York has decreased
80 per cent. in two years, in about seven
years the people will quit diving altogether
that is, surprising that medical science keeps
forging bravely on in its good work. If
France adds ono hundred days to life in II
century 1t Is easy to calculate how many cen :
turtles will result in practical immortality
inc returns are not all in yet, but it looks a.
though We had the grim reaper on the hip,
or thereabouts.

Washington special to the st. Louis
Republican: The Republican opposi-
ton to Grant and third term has
taken definite shape in New York.
A bureau is to be established immedi-
ately in Park Row where documents
will be distributed and collections be
received to assist in the campaign
against Grantism. One of the Oldest
if not the most influential of Republi-
can politicians in the country will
have charge of the bureau. John
Sherman is really the bone and sinew
of the new organization. He has pro-
vided his agent with letters Of intro
duction to some of the most influential
business men and independent Re-
publicans in the state, and cordial sup
port and material assistance are ex-
pected from those appealed to. The
movement against Grant will be an
organized one in every assembly dis
trict in the state, and the Sherman
men expect to make serious inroads
upon the strength of Conkling and

Beecher lately ventilated his ideas

Beecher lately ventilated his ideas
upon amusements, at the Cooper In
stitute, N. Y, to as many people as
could pack themselves in the hail TO
hear him. He had often before spok
en- on this subject incidentally, but
this time he emphasized his opinions
by making them the subjectof whole
discourse. He takes the ground that
rational amusements are as necessary
To the mental and bodily health of
people as the air they breathe and the
food they eat. They must have
amusements to throw them off the
track of daily drudgery. He taught
hy his own example; his church says
he can't play billiards, but he does
play, and that he can't drive fast hors-
es, hut he does drive them. He re-
gretted that he, a. minister, could
not 90 to Il theatre, or circus, with
out being followed by reporters, while
any of bis congregation could 60 to
these places without anybody taking
the least notice of them. The spirit
of ..Beecher's lecture oil amusements
was that the religious world ought to
take a more rational view of amuse.
ments. and their necessity from a san-
itary point Of view.
