A Sensible Plan.

In order to keep the running expenses of the
supervising architects Office within the limits
of the reduced appropriation made In congress
last session, Secretary Folgcr has directed Mr..
Hill to dispense with the services Of three
draughtsmen and two clerks on the first Of
November, to reduce the salaries OF nine en-
ployes in the modelling room OF the Office from
IS 10 Il so per day, and to transfer two lady
clerks 10 other bureaus. This will reduce the
expenses over $500 per month, about 800 per
month less than the amount suggested by the
supervising architect. Near the end of the
fiscal year, a further saving Is expected to be
effected by furloughing a sufficient number of
employees to keep the expenses from exceeding
the 100000 appropriated.

ELECTIONS.
Early Returns Give the Victory to the
Democrats.

The elections for state officers i'm Ohio and
Iowa occurred ON the 9th OF October. In Ohio
the campaign has been holly contested, and
the unusually large vote polled was evidence of
: he thorough campaign work dore. Besides
the election of state officers in Ohio, three
amendments to the constitution were voted
upon: one relating 10 the judiciary Of the state,
and two bearing upon the temperance ques-
tion, one prohibitory ana the other license
law. The strength Of the prOhbitionists was
great surprise to all, and from the first re-
turns 1t is not unlikely that the prohibitiory
amendment was carried. The first returns Civ G
the victory to the Dem crate, with u majority
for Hoadly of from 5000 TO 10000. The re-
turns are very meager, and come In slowly.
THE DEMOCRATS
Claim the election ia Iowaby a large MAORI
ties. No count Is made until the polls are
closed for the day, but from the first reports
received, the returns are generally favorable TO
the Democrats.
LATER FROM THE ELECTIONS.
Latest advises from Columbus indicate that
the Demos rats have carried Ohio by majority
of IL, 900 on the state ticket and have secured q
good working llajority in the legislature The
prohibitory amendment has been defeated.
Iowa goes Republican by increasing majorities

The Production of Ouinine.

From Malaria and the Progress of Medicine in Pop
ular Science Monthly.
The next step in the relief of malarious sick
ness on the grand scale was the extraction of
the aikaloid quinine from the cinchona bark
The powdered bark was not only very unpal-
atable, but it was cumbrOus to carry and dis
pense, and, although the principle of the remedy
remained the same, it has proved Of infinitely
greater service in the form of quinine, and In
the form of the cheap alkaloidal mixture known
in Bengal as ''guinetum." The first extraction of
an alkalOid WAS in the case OF mOrDhia from
opium, in 1903; the discOVerer was an apOthecary
OF Hameln, who was rewarded rather better
than the celebrated piper of that town. for the
French Academy of Sciences voted him two
thousand francs Quinine was discovered in 1920
by the French chemists Pelletier and CaventOu
The sciences and arts Of botany and practical
forestry, OF chemistry and practical pharmacy,
are now all concerned In the production of this
most invaluable Of remedies. The commerce of
the world has taken cinchona in hand, and there
are now plantations of the trees not unworthy
to be named beside those of coffee and tea
The value OF the crude bark imported into Eng
land alone In 1882 was nearly two millions ster-
ling. The original and native cinchOna region
on the damp eastern slopes of the Andes in
Peru Is still a source of wealth, and a still
greater source of wealth are the new planta-
tions on the Andes in Bolivia. The Indian gov
ernment has successfully cultivated the bark on
a large scale in the Nilghir Hills in Madras, and
more recently at Darjilng in the Himaiayas;
while a crowd Of private planters have followed
in the same enterprise in Coorg, TravancOre,
and Ceylon. The Dutch government, who were
the pioneers of cinchOna cultivation, have found
the climate and soil of Java we'll adapted for the
species and varieties of trees most rich In quiz
nine. Jamaica is the latest field to which this
new and ever-lncreaSing Industry has extended.

If there were no other thing in the esthetic
renaissance to be thankful for its restoration of
fireplaces to our homes would entitle it to re-
| spectful consideration. Open fires have more than
an esthetic influence. AS Centers for the home
circle or family semi-circle that forms them and

may be claimed that they serve an ethic pur-
pose. The swapping, fragrant back log, or the

recently invited the attention of architects and
