THE Philadelphia Record thinks that
the Pennsylvania Legislature is not
called upon to take any action in refer
ence to Mr.. DUKES before he presents
himself at the bar Of the House TO take
the oath of office. After he has com
Pleted the forms necessary to give him
a right to his seat he can be expelled.
The House is not obliged to endure his
presence. 1t does not seem to occur to
the people Of Fayette county that the
initiative in getting rid OF DUKEs-should
be taken by the people who sent him

made him 8 member of the House

THE Iron Age concludes, from a re-
view ofits advices from all sections, that
business is slowly and quietly i'm
proving. The business interests have
not yet adapted themselves to the new
tariff, and hence orders are coming in
more slowly, but the opinion is enter
tanned in high iron circles that the
volume of business will not fall much
behind that Of last year, il any. The
iron trade is interested in the develop
ment of several important and radical
Improvements in the making Of iron
and steel, which, if successful, will re-
duce the cost and revolutionize prices

THE RICHMOND DISPATCH ON THE

We have frequently protested, and
we continue to protest, against the
practice of the Virginia press judging
West Virginia by the attitude Of their
own people on the debt question.
We decline to be measured in their
half-bushel.
The Dispatch is persistent in assert
ing that West Virginia does not intend
to pay, never did so intend, and never
will pay one penny towards the debt Of
Virginia. In an editorial article Of the
18th inst, headed "West Virginia Ger
tificates," the Dispatch rehashes its old
arguments and assertions on this head
as follows:

How Drainage fle1ps

necessary to secure it. One of the most
marked good effects Of this underirain-
age, whether natural or ar ifcial, il the
Improvement in the temperature Of the
soil. If this surplus water cannot pass
Oft below in due time, it must be evap-
GRATED into the air, at the inevitable cost
OF great quantity Of heat which would
otherwise have served to warm the soil:
a wet soil. like q wet person coming out
Of a bath is cold.
The less heat a soil must lose in this
lay, the greater will be- it's reserve

The Production of Quinine.

he next step in the relief of malari'
Gus sickness on the grand scale was the
extraction of the alkaIoid quinine from
the cinchona-bark. The powdered bark
was not only very unpalatable, but it was
cumbrous to carry and dispense, and,
although the principle of the remedy
remained the same, it has proved of in.
fnitely greater service in the form of
Quinine, and in the form of the cheap
alkaloidal mixture known in
Bengal fas ''quinetun." The
first extraction of an all1alold
was in the case of norphia, from opium,
IN 1905; the discoyerer was an apotne.
