A curious skin affiiction, giving a
young girl the appearance of old age,
has been described by two French
physicians, Souques and Charcot
under the title of .'cutaneons GER
omorphism. The case first came
under observation in 1881, when the
patient was eleven years old. The
changes in the skin were already re-
markable, the face having its natural
lines and expression obliterated and
the skin hanging in loose folds. There
WAS 20 history of dropsical enlarge
ment however. and the parents at
tributed the changes to fright. At the
age of twenty-one the patient was
again seen, when it was found that
the changed appearance of the whole
body had been simply intensified. The
skin had become too large. and lost its
consistence and elasticity. There was
no evidence of disease or of premature
old age, except the strange alteration
of the skin that had transformed the
features OF an intelligent and pretty
child into those OF an old woman.

Professor Oliver j. Lodge calculates
that the impact OF light waves from
the sun produces a pressure on the
moons surface OF about /, 900 tons. In
a total eclipse of the moon this force
is withdrawn. but since the total at
traction OF the sun on the moon is to
be estimated in millions of tons this
slight apparent diminution gives no
appreciable effect. Upon a very small
body. however the pressure OF solar
light might be equal TO or greater than
the attraction OF gravitation. Such a
body need not be infinitely minute. but
OF size comparable with that of a
grain Of dust. 1t is conceivable that
the dropping off OF comets tails on
their approach to the sun is due to
this action.

The public schools have some c3n.
spicuous advantages. They arc amply
provided for from the public revenues,
they are constantly under public SUI
pervision, the stimulus of competition
in them is keener because it is, as il
were, in full public view and occupies
a wider arena. But they have also
some disadvantages. The system
upon which they are founded makes it
impossible for them to adapt their in
struction to individual peculiarities
A great conjoint plan, such as that
upon which the public schools are
conducted. must proceed on a theory
OF averagos-averages which nimbe-
witted PIT pills may easily outrun, and
with slower minded scholars may lag

legal talent furnished these frauds was
the only thing that enabled them to

their creditors on lines suggested by
legal sharks, and while certain
odium attaches to these swindlers, the

THERE are youthful minds and tenn
peraments which are ill fitted for the
strain and emulation of public school
course -sensitive natures that have to
be carefully encouraged and nurtured
toward self-coniidence, and that re-
quire the methods of private instruc-
ton and the associations of private
classes to enable them to attain their
true development Sometimes, in
deed, the preference for the private.
school is largely a matter OF mere sem
timent and, in all cases, attendance
upon them must depend mainly on the
social. as well as the mental and

at she BrookIyn Navy Yard.
NEW YORK, Nov. l0-The Brooklyn
navy yard yesterday presented an APP
pesrance of activity not witnessed
since the exciting times of the rebel
lion. The hum and din of busy work
men on the war vessels Miantonomah
and Atlantic disturbed the Saba tn
stiffness as body of 400 ue-iackets
marched across the yard to divine SER
vice. Worlnen have been busily en-
gagged day and night for the last week
in preparing the two vessels for speedy
service at sea. Yesterday the work of
preparation was continued, it being
the first Sunday since the war that
such thing has happened. There
were eighty men at work on the two
vessels, and all expedition will be used
until they are ready for service at sea.
The navy-yard officials denied the
rumored sinking of the United States
war vessel Baltimore at Valral also.
1t was said that the officers and ere
of the Baltimore exercised the same
vigilance as in war times and the tor
pedo nets about the vessel would save
her from sudden attack. The unusual
hustle and activity at the navy-yard
was said not to be due to the reported
sinking of the Baltimore, but it is con-
coded that the strained relations be-
tween this country and Chile has
caused the government much anxiety
to get all its war vessels ready for any
possible contingency.
