Peninsula Railroads.
DEMAND FOR L. AND 0. EXTENSION
COMPETITION WANTED.

Again the question of the proposed
railroad extension connecting the BaIti
more and Ohio Railroad directly with
ElktOn, Chestertowu, Easton and other
points down the peninsula is being
agitated, and it is said that the nro.
posed extension is being practically
considered by prominent business men
in several of the counties as we'll "a
by railroad men. There is a CRYING
demand for more facilities on this nen.
lnsula and sooner there is more com.

ties the better it will be for the farmers
and fruit-grOwers of the entire penin.

trols all the lines which traverse this
peninsula and the people are com.
PEELED to submit to any rates they NAV
wish to impose upon them.
This fact has been fully demonstrated
this season. Fruit-growers have been
compelled to pay freight charges which
are absolutely beyond all sense of
OF reason, and these charges have been
80 excessive that the entire profits of
the melon business have been absorbed
to pay them. Some time ago a melon
grower in Wicomico received returns
from several cars of melons, the gross
sales of which amounted to 1851. From
this the grower received IA check for
$l9l as his net proceeds. The freight
charges were $513. This ought to be
corrected. Something must be done
for the relief of the people or the busi-
ness of growing fruits and vegetable
Will be a thing of the past. All efforts
to induce the railroads TO give relief
seem to have failed, and the next best
thing to do is to push the matter of
increasing facilities by building a COM
peting line down the peninsula.
1t is well-establishe d fact that com.
petition not only gives better facilities
in the way of more rapid transporta-
ton, but also lowers rates. An ex-
tension of the Baltimore and Ohio
down this peninsula will bring relief

neat uniforms and their pleasant young

These young fellows, as all know, are
picked men, generally we'll educated
and bright and intelligent. They are
not however, the walking ency-
clop@dias they are expected to be by
the generality of Worlds Fair visitors.
A volume might be written on what
a Columbian guard is expected to
know. The Indignation which is often
very freely expressed is equally funny.
L saw man rush up to a Columbian
guard and demand in an agitated voice
what gate did come in at?"
And a friend overheard the follow
ing: Where is my husband ?"
I don't know your husband, marm.,
well, you ought to; what are you
here for?"
Fortunately the guards themselves
are young and bright enough to apprs-
ciate the fun of the situation, and oc-
casionally they are able to get off some.
thing of their own, as he who answered
the question put to him by the man
with lunch basket:
Where can We fad place to eat ?"
TO eat ?" the guard repeated pen
sively, tits easy enough to find a place
but the trouble is how to eat it."
One hopes that these guards keep
notebooks for their future delectation,
for neither Mark Twain nor Billings
himself could imagine more amusing
situations than must come under the
eyes of these boys.
Not only are the Columbian guards
expected to know everything, but so
are those persons in charge of certain
exhibits, who from the nature of their
occupation probably know less of the
and of other exhibits than the
ordinary visitor.
The State buildings contain rare
specimens of the human race. Thev
flock to those hospitable verandas as
to the lap of a mother; they sit in
rocking-chairs with their feet on the
ratings, if they are men, on another
chair if they are women-these tired
souls who have wandered far in search
of knowledge.
This is like home; and when they
are rested they wander into the next
building as into neighbours of an
afternoon. n

was unmarried and went to Berlin.
where, to increase his income, he gave
private instructions in languages and
botany, and where, during the summer
months, he on Sundays in the forenoon
arranged botanical excursions into the
country, which every one paying a
small fee could join. He died April 7.
1916.
Shortly before his death Sprengel
published small book, entitled "The
Usefulness of Bees and the Necessity
of Their Cultivation, Discussed From a
New Point of View," in which he verv
distinctly fixed the differences between
plants being fructified by the aid of
the wind and those being fructified by
the aid of insects. He, accordingly to
the experiments made by him, showed
that the blossoms of currants, goose
berries, apple trees, rape seed and
viOlets cannot be fructifed if insects
are excluded from them. He during
his experiments prevented the visits Of
the insects to the blossoms by a ''small
tent of gauze' placed over the plants.
Sprengels labors were as good as
ignored during his lifetime; he could
not look back upon any recognition;
he had practically no success. Finally
long after the mans death, Charles
Darwin, the famous English naturalist,
in 1862 brought Sprengel's remark
able hook" as he called it, to light
again and did full justice to its author.
Darwin said of Sprengel that he had
been ahead of his time, and for that
reason his discoveries were neglected
for long while. To-day their import
ance is fully recognized and Sprengel's
name is well known to botanists.

They were just before me at the
ticket office. The head of the family,
tall, gaant and attired in yellow linen
duster, was transacting the necessary
business and four women hung over
his shoulders and looked on.

in his hand. II tell you,s gals, you'll

lowed them in through the clicking
turnstile.
They stopped with one accord just
inside the gate and their chins went
up in the air as the great white build
ings burst upon them. They gazed in
silence for some minutes, slowly alb
sorbing the magnitude of the nearest
buildings and the glimpse beyond the
blue lagoon.
The old man spoke first. "Well,

the left, We'll have to begin system

As you know, at each entrance to

Perhaps some of our readers wouId

lain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When
this Remedy is taken as soon as a cold
has been contracted, and before it has
become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lesson it's severity, and is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts
in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions, liquefying the
mucous and causing its expulsion nom
the air cells of the lungs and restoring
the system to strong healthy con-
dition. No other remedy in the mar
ket possesses these remarkable proper
ties. No other will cure a cold so
