BOOKS md AUTHORS.

THE TREES OF NORTHEASTERN AMER
IC4. By Charles S. NelUhdH. This admirably
prepared volume will not only prove useful to
the botanist, but every one who is interested in
the trees about them will find it an invaluable
handbook by which they can readily identify
and classify them. The aim of the work, as in
dicated in the preface, is to enable every one to
recognize the trees of the roadside and the forest
by describing in simple fashion their foliage
bark, and general appearance, and by showing
the leaves in illustrations. The last named are
numerous and carefully done from original
sketches by the author. The trees described in
clude all the native trees of Canada and the
Northern United States east of the Misslsslppi
River. Mention is also made of the more impor-
tant OF the introduced and naturalized species
A guide" is prefxed by which any given speci.
men can be readily found. The volume IS a
beautiful specimen of book-maklng, clearly
printed on fine paper, and contains $50 pages,
There are thousands of people who will welcome
its appearance as filling real want. G. p Put

it on sale in Washington.
CATHARINE'S COQUETRLES. BIZ Camille
Debans. TranslatedbU Leon Mead. This late ad-
dition to Worthington's well-printed and prettily
illustrated Rose Library is a rather unambitious
tale of French country life, told in plain straight
forward language. The characters are drawn
with considerable skill and the incidents of the
story are sufficiently interesting to keep the at
tention of the reader to the end. The book is on
sale at Ballantyne's, Seventh street.

With such opportunities for a road as exists, there is no req son tosdoubt it.

Alien Landowners.

Revolutions sometimes go back
 ward, and the present agitation as
 to alien landowners is one instance
 The immemorial rule of the com.
 mon law was that an alien could neither acquire nor hold land, the reason of the rule being that he should not own any part of the country to whose allegiance he was a stranger. Our fathers brought this rule with them and up to a com paratively recent period it obtained generally throughout the United States. Then it began to be thought archaic, oppressive and impolitic, and was rescinded. Aliens bought up huge blocks of real estate, and the wisdom of the rule began to ap- pear from the results of its abroga- ton. Absentee landlordism has been found to be the same thing in the New World as in the Old, and a very decided sentiment is manifest ing itself against it. It is very doubtful if what has been done can be undone, and if it could be un- done it is a serious question wheth- CT it is right to do it. Itis not like ly that the Supreme Court of the United States would allow contract rights to be devested and even if this were otherwise there is moral side to the question which is not to be ignored. But one thing at least can be done, and done with entire propriety, and that is to forbid fu- ture acquisitions.-N. Y. World.

Not Indians Enough.

Washington. Ang. 20.-The In dian bureau recently received the re-
 ort of A. T. Lea, who has been en- gagged in taking the census of the Sioux tribe of Indians. He has completed the count of the h. dians on the Rosebud agency, in South Dakota, and find that~~there are 5,566 men, women and children located there. AS the Indian of flee of the last several years has been distributing rations at the na- ton to a population of about T. 800, naturally the inquiry arises as to what had become of the other D. 334 Indians and their rations. This query was put to Indian Agent Wright, who had reported each quarter the number who drew ra- tions, and in reply he asked to be allowed to take an enumeration himself, which was done. At this enumeration only about 125 more Indians were found than in MT. Lea's count. He thereupon &C., counted for the discrepancy by stating that an epidemic had pre- vailed among the Indians last year, and that the prevalence of the measles and smallpox had taken off a large number The agency physicians, however, reported only nineteen deaths during the year. An investigation will be had.

Leprosy, the Surgical and Medi- cal Reporter urges in recent arti- cle, is not contagious in the usual sense of the word, and it deprecates the summary measures taken with leprous patients. Leprosy is not. we presume, contagious so far as touch and contact go-save in cer- tain well-known cases-but 1t is equally clear, as Dr. Morell Mac kenzie has shown, that leprosy on- ly began to disappear from Europe when strict isolation was practiced, and that it is extremely liable to re- appear when this vigorous personal quarantine Is relaxed.-Philadel- phia Press.

Investments of English Capital.

The investment of foreign money in the South the coming fall and winter promises to be unprecedent- edly heavy. The Manufacturers Record, as a medium of communi- cation between Northern and Eng fish investors and the owners of Southern properties, has for years been able to carefully watch all movements looking to the placing of money in this section. It has generally known confdentially of the heaviest investments long before it was permitted by the projectors to make their plans public. With in the last month or so we have learned of upwards of $60,000,000 of English capital that has been of fered for investments in a great many Southern enterprises, includ- ing railroads, town schemes, miner al properties, etc. In addition to this enormous amount, there are many heavy investments being made which are not included in this summary, as this is only what has been brought directly to our atten- ton, and concerning which noth- ing has yet been published in Flu rope or America. For the invest ment of nearly one-half of this amount, the advice of the Manufac- turers' Record was sought.-Balti- more Manufacturers Record.

not mean measure supported by
 a party, because all great acts O. legislation are usually of that kind
 But 1t is a measure apparently de
 signed primarily to secure party as
 cendancY, not to secure a public benefit. The wrong at which it is professedly aimed is undeniable. But the measure proposed would not remedy the wrong, From the beginning the Weekly has held this view, and it has seen nowhere any answer to the question, how in the actual situation such a measure could either bring out the suppress ed vote or improve the local feeling which is the real cause of the sup pression. Our view of the bill is we'll stated by high Republican authority, the Milwaukee Sentinel |:
 "The Sentinel has not changed it's views in regard to that measure. It never doubted the right of Con- gress to pass such an enactment, nor the existence of abuses it is de- signed to abate; but it did and does question the expediency of attempt ing to enact it. This doubt as to its expediency is based on the opin- ion that it will not be effective to assure honest elections where the great frauds upon the ballot-box are practiced, while it will be used, as it is already used, by political dem- agogues to perpetuate unjust ami mosities against the Republican party, and open still wider the foun- tains of sectional distrust and ha- tired in the South" "- Harper's Weekly.

The princely territory of Arizona has the climate, she has an inex- haustible mineral wealth, her val Ieys of extreme productiveness measure miles upon miles, and leagues upon leagues; she has an abundance of water with the pro- per facilities for storing It. and what she now needs and must have is the colonist. The patient farmer who tolls through cold and heat, through drought and flood on the prairie lands of the great middle states to find at the end of the season an in- ferior crop needs but to know that such a climate as this exists and a change will be speedily made. But water is king. A system of storage would open thousands of acres the prosperity of the country would not be materially injured even if the land about these reservior sites was taken up by settlers.-Citizen.

The operators in the Kemmler case used their mimic lightning with al the clumsiness of mortal inability. They burned the skull and a portion of the back and ex- ploded the sinuses of the brain. No doubt they were fortunate enough to render the man senseless at the first blow, just as they would have done if they had struck him on the head and back with a red hot hammer, but there was found no marks of the electical current in or through the viscera of the body. The man was killed by concussion of the brains and explosion within the closed cavity of the skull, just as man may be killed by apo- plexy or sunstroke.-London Lam cet

More Murders by Indians.

Again We are called on to chron- icle additional murders by the blood thirsty Apaches. On Friday of last week miner named Peter Rigg was killed in the Hachita noun tains, near Separ, New Mexico, and about forty-fye miles southeast of Lordsburg, and on Tuesday of this week, Volney Rector, a stockman, was murdered in the same vicinity. Two Indians are supposed to have committed both murders. After the last killing they escaped into Mexico, being pursued by Captain Keys, with a detachment of about fifteen colored troops and a num- Der of Indian scouts. Indications showed that the two murderers had been joined by three other Indians before crossing the line. Troops are in the field from Fort Bayard, Fort Bowie and other posts. How long, oh, Lord how long are these murders to Wilcox Stockman.

Old Timers.

New York, Aug. 19.-Four more human skeletons were found yester- day at No. 2S Elm street, where an old three story house is being torn down in order to build a ware house.
 The property belongs to the Stew art estate and c. L. Goetchius, of No. SO Cedar street, is the builder employed. While making excava- tions for a foundation the workmen yesterday came upon four skeletons of human beings and about two dozen old coins of the reign of George the Third, dated 1906. The formation of the skulls showed the skeletons to be those of people of a low order of intellect. They were found seven feet below the surface at the street line. The house was the old California Hotel, and prior to 1849 was great resort of travellers, notably sailors. It is on the site of an old cemetery.

Edward Andrade, just in from the Lerdo colony, states that an apparently demented American is roaming about in the neighborhood of the line dividing this county from Sonora, Mexico. He subsists on mesquite beans and kindred ma tive products, is very scantily clad, and at long intervals puts in an ap- pearance at one or other of the ranches, where, when given a meal, he immediately decamps. So far, none were able to ascertain his name and other particulars that would tend towards calculating the mystery that surrounds him. It is to be hoped that steps will be taken by the authorities on both sides of the line to capture the unfortunate creature, so that he may receive proper medical attention.-Yuma Times.
