The Vegetarian Theory.

Vegetarians say it is n popular fsl.
lacy that meat is needed for strength.
One prominent exponent of the faith
says it is a fact that the strongest ami
mails in the world are vegetarian and
not carnivorous. 1t is the ferocity OF
the lion rather than his strength that
makes him formidable. An elephant
is a match for several lions, and is a
vegetarian. The animals with most
speed and endurance-the horse, the
reindeer, the antelope and others-are
also vegetarians. Dog trainers, says
the authority, always feed their trick
animals on strict vegetarian diet, and
many hunters do the same thing

The stomach is the reservoir.

The on'y surprising thing about
reduction of the time between New
York and Chicago is that it has come
so late. Twenty hours are ample for
q little less than a thousand miles.
The waste Of time that has deferred
until so late day the arrangement
Of this new table between the lakes
and the seaboard has been at sta.
tions where the switching Of rolling
stock, the transfer of baggage and
mails and the appointing of coaches
have been done without that dis
patch that has characterized the run.

age Of fifty miles an hour Is fairly
good, but it is not phenomenal. In
TACT, the American railway system

velopment Of the ocean steamship

All the difficulties of ocean travel
taken into account, this is more i'm.
pressive than making 1000 miles In
twenty hours without a mountaia

Ing problems Of any perplexing nature.
The railroads throughout the coun
try are likely to be stimulated to i'm,
provement OF their schedules. by the
new express trains between the lakes
and the Atlantic. The Southern ser
vice, so far as it is controlled 10
Southern centers, is in urgent need
Of speeding. The Southern planter
ought to insist on better time for the
valuable but porishable freights they
send to Northern markets. Southern
bu.iness men have everything to ga!r
by bringing South and North more
Closely together. There has been
considerable improvement during the
past year in means Of communication
between Chicago and the Gulf; but
the manipulation of neither passenger

were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased our great
Father to call from his earthly labors
our friend and brother, and for many
years, colleague on this Board, DR..

to all with whom he came in con-
tact.
Resolved, That while we bow in
humble submission to the divine will,
we can not help grieving over our
great loss, although we recognize
that it is his eternal gain; and we
hereby express our admiration and
esteem for our deceased friend, and
testify to the results of life well
spent.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Board

pose. This machine is constructed
upon scientific principles and its
range of work can only be limited by
the length of the cord to which it is
attached. 1t is destined to be OF in
