most highly prizes, Mr.. Trowbridge says,
is from the late Chief Justice Chase, relat
ing that he sat up all night to tnish tho
story.
The Persians resort to curious rites for
the purpose of averting the attacks of the
cholera. One of the most widely prseticed
of these is that of passing under the Ko-
ran. Two elders stand opposite each
other, holding between them scroll of
the Koran, wrapped in silken scarf. Un-
der this swinging talisnan the peasants
pass one by one, and then go home, con-
yineed that the cholera will not be able to
touch them. The Psrsians stick to these
ancient csremonials In spitsof the fact that
the epidemic is working sad havoc among
them.
An interesting plan is that of . meeting
of all peoples and seets In Jerusalem, to
give thanks to Sod on the closing of the
10th century of the Christian era. 1t is
one of Colonel J. e. Peyton's notion, and
he proposes pilgrimsges from all parts of
the world to the Holy Land, to meet for
worship where the Jewish temple stood,
either on December 25, 1899, OR January 1,
1900. There has BEEN q meeting held in
Carpenters hall, Philadelphia, to devise
plane. Rev. Russell q. sConwell Is going
to advocate this before the evangelical al
lance at Chicago next month, and It is
also to be presented to the congress of re-
hgions now meeting there; while the Turk
ish commissioners to the worlds fair are
to be asked to help get the sultsn's consent
to the gathering. The whole scope of the
plan includes the erection of "a college at
which divinity students of all denomina-
tions may finish their course of study"
1t seems that the hollow of the Atlantic
is not striotly basin whose depth increases
regularly toward the center, the latest in
vestigations showing that Ii is rather q
saucer or dishlike one, 80 even is the con-
tour of It's bed. 1t is found that proceed
ing westward from the Irish coast, the
ocean bed dsspens very graduslly-in fsot.
for the first $50 miles the gradient is but
six feet to the mile, though in the next
twenty miles the fall is more than 5000
feet, SO precipitous being the sudden
descent that, in many places, depths of
1900 to 600 fathoms are encountered in
very close proximity to the 100 fathom
line. With the depth of 1900 to 1900
fathoms the sea bed in this par. of the At,
lantic becomes q slightly undulsting plain,
whose gradients are SO light as to show but
little alteration of depth for some 1900
miles; the extraordinary fatness of these
submarine prairies, therefore, renders the
familiar idea of basin rather inappropri-
ate. The greatest depth in the Atlantic is
claimed to have been found some ono hun
dred miles to the north ward of the Island
of st. Thomas, where soundings of 3.s75
fathoms were obtained. The seas around
Great Britain, instead of forming part of
the Atlantic hollow, as heretofore generally
regarded, are now alleged to bs rather
part of the platform banks of the great
European continent which the ocean has
overfowed.

MRS. BOARDMAH PROTEST.
SO Mrs. Boardman isn't pleased with the
way some of the short sighted citizens of
this town want to deal with her generosity.
We shouldn't think she would be- Both
the votes she complains of we're unwise
and illiberal, though something can fairly
be said In favor Of the one concerning con-
nnirg the bids for the building to New
Haven contractors. But nothing can fair
ly be said in favor of putting the union
label on 3 building intended to benefit the
whole community. 1t would be a poor
beginning of manual training in the New
Haven school system to have its
foundstions laid in unjust and ty-
ranniosl discrimination. We do not be-
lieve they will be so laid. It will in all
probability be found that the vote in favor
of putting the union label on the proposed
building was illegal. AS We look at it, 1t
would have been just al legal to vote to
employ none but Hethedists In the work.
Those who voted for the union the other
evening did so In entire disregard of the
law and of the principle of equal rights.
If "the union" can be given the sole right
to work on the building why can 1t
not as we'll bs given the sole
right to be benefited by the Man
ual Training schools Would 1t be
any more preposterous and unjust for 1t
to claim that the children Of its members
are the only ones who eught to have their
manual training paid for by the public
than 1t is fox it to claim that Its members
are the only ones who have the right to
be psid for work on public buildings!
Mrs. Boardman hSs done the right thing
in protesting against the bold attempt to
nisapply and misuse her generosity, and
the Board of Education has done the right
thing in seeking legal advice concerning
the matter. This is atili = government of
the psople, by the people, and for the
people, and the attempt to put the uaion
label on 1t has not succesded. Nothing
should be done in New Haven to give aid
to those who are engaged In this attempt.

STUDY OF TIE GRIP.

Those who had the grip, those who es
capped it and those who still have 1t will be
interested in the results of very thorough
investigation of the grip epidemic in Eng
land. 1t is found that no conditions of
site, soil, climate, sanitary circumstance or
occupation have been proved to explain
the course of tho disease. At the same
time there ia some evidence that one severe
epidemic provides q certain immunity
against another in the same place. With
regard to the mortality in different com
munities, it is noteworthy that the rate
of death due to infusnzs was
substantially greater in rural and
sparsely populated areas than in
large towns. Thus, whereas In the metropo
lis and in ninety towns having populations
of from 20, 900 to $4,000 each, the influenza
death-rste varied from 0.52 to 0 So per
1000 living, the rate among nearly 8. 3.000,
600 people living In 1872 rural sanitary dis
triots reached 0.73 per 1000. This is
partly explained by the fact that the death
rate from influenza increases with ad-
vancing age, and that while many rural
areas have been more or loss denuded of
young people and adolescents. the old
people have remained at home. All ex
perienoe goes strongly to confirm the view
that influenza 10 propsgated from per-
son to person. The heavier mortality
from influenza experienced in the later
epidemics as compared with that of 1880
30 appears to be In part due to the fact
that whereas in the former epidemic dis
turbances of the oiroulatory and cerebro
spinal eystems were prominent manifesto
tions, the stress of tho malady in the more
recent epidemics fell especially upon the
lungs This has led DR.. Parsons to raise
In his report the question as to whether
infsmmatory affections of the lung, and
especially pneumonia, are an integral part
| of the disease or merely supsrsdded com
plioations. DR.. Klein's study of infuepzs
from the baetsriolo2ioal point of view seem,
to prove that the sputa of the sick are in
variably charged with the micro organism
which is peculiar TO the malsdy.
