Mr.. W. K. vanderbill's interests in the

Mr.. w. K. Vanderbilt's interests In the
LackawannR.
PEACE IN THE RAILROAD SITUATION.
Aside from the purpose to control the
Lackawanna, in whole or in part, Mr..
Vapderbilt;s scheme il understood to be
to make the Lake Shore II Nic8el Plate
the Western outlets OF the LackawannR.
The latter now exchanges most OF it's
traffic with the Grand Trunk at Buffalo.
The cpange will he a great boon to the
Lake Shore M Nickel Plate, in which
Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt Is perhaps more
largely Interested than any other railroad
properties. 1t is a stunning blow at the
Grand Trunk, for 1t may nave to seek
some other route into New YorK. This
is considered q very clever stroke on the
part of Mr.. w. K. Vanderbilt. for the
through traffic of the Lackawanna Is
becoming very extensive.
But one of che chief ends aimed at by
Mr.. Vanderbilt is to change the tone nf
the entire trunk line situation by eradi-
C ting the great disturbing element that
has Kept rates IN a turmoil Tor dozen years
past. While other railroads have cut rates
it is commonly believed that the Lacka+
wanna has of5snest been tie off.nler
aud st times 1t has utterly refused to
abide by the rulings OF the Trunk Liue
Association. There is often Il total dis
regard OF solemn agreements made by
the CHIEF officials of tine different roads,
aud the Lackawanna has come in for its
share of connte charges. In this way
the Lackawanna, with It's compact system
u extensive coal traffic to fall back on,
has proved u formidable rival which it
was impossible to conquer by competi~
tion. and 1t has been a painful thorn in
the flesh to both the New York Central
aud Pennsylvania ~comnauieS.
DISTURBING FACTOR REMOVED.
The iinportaace of nsttllng the Licka-
wanna canuot be oyerestinated. Il will
sliffen up tae rate situation all around
the east. and as soon as the Vanderbilt
and Jersey Central lliance brings about
the new pofiey-which NAV not be before
he annual meeting OF the Lackawanua
in ~Februaty-;t is not unlikely that better
rales will be established by the Trunk
Line Association with the assurance that
they VIII be maintained.
The Grand Trunk Railway, which has
also proved a disturbing factor III the
rate situation. will find itself where it is
has to obey the agreements OF the as.
sociatious. The Lehigh Valley aud Erie
are are the Gully routes left with which it
likely to form a close alliance, aud the
latter. of course, will give its own
through line the Chicago and Erie, ths
preference. The Lehigh Valley will nave
the opportunity TO serve both of the
Canadian roads or take its choice.

Wandering States, guaranteeing UNI
due concessions to corporations, grab
bling at office and It's emolumsnts
through violence and corruption; it
may be the alliance of politics with
crime for personal advantage; it may
be any of these or any other NANTES
tation of the spoils system that the
much condemned champions of Mug
wumpery may direct their immediate
shafts against; but whatever it may
be, we may be sure they are working
upward and forward, out to a new
light which will illumine the history
OF our government for another quar-
ter of a century.
The alliance of this party, as we have
said, is, in general, with the Democ-
racy. There it finds its natural affin-
nifty, Just as the Abolition found its
natural seed bed in the ranks of Re-
publicanism. The principles of De-
mocracy, as written and as understood
by its greatest leaders, only need
development and definition to assim-
ilate with those of the Mugwump dis
pensation. In some of the foremost
figures of the Democratic party, the
courageous band who started the
fight for political campaign in 1884
find kindred spirits, brothers in soul
if not in ties, Russell of Massachu-
setts, Whitney and Fairchild of New
York, Pattison of Pennsylvania,
Campbell of Ohio, and host of others
whose names are household words,
above all in that one man whose name
has grown in honor with all the peo-
like that of Lincoln. in the recogni-
tionthat he is not only better than
his party but better than any party.
the leading man of his country for
his period.
1t will not shake the belief of any
one that the Mugwump element will
ultimately become the controlling
element in the Democracy. to obser We
the douts and jeers which certain
s'old style" democrats solace them
selves by bestowing upon it. To revert
to the history of the Abolition strug-
gle, it will be remembered that the
ranks of Republicanism furnished the
most virulent among the stone
throwers, the lynch-law advocates,
the riotous assailants of free speech.
who combatted the anti-slavery
fanatics" with the most desperate
zeal. The tide of events cannot be
stayed with abuse. Natural attrac-
tions cannot be defeated by puny and
temporary obstacles. The principles
of Mugwumpery will march on, like
the soul of old John Brown, and what
is true and pure and high in its pur-
poses will triumph in spite of every
effort of selfshness and corruption to
defeat or retard it. !.

Discovered the Art Of Canning.

A paper in Philadelphia lately printed
a tale about party of American travel
ers digging in the ruins of Pompeii and
finding jars OF figs which had been sealed
up during the first century of the Chris
tian era; and the figs we're just as fresh
as when canned 1900 years ago. Prob
ably the figs we're placed by some French
man or Yankee who saw chance to
make few dollars or francs out of the
gullible sightseers. Canning fruits in
Theoretically sealed jars is quite modern
discovery, made by one NJ. Appert, of
France. In 1906 he persuaded the
French Government - test his preserved
soups, meats and fruits in the navy, and
all were such success in long voyages
that in 1909 he received handsome
bounty or prize for his discovery, which
was soon given out free to all who might
wish to try preserving fruits and vege-
tables in jars or cans. NJ. Appert's PAM
phlet was also translated into English
and published in this country by book
seller in Wall street, New York, in 1872;
and this little work became the guide as
we'll as foundation of an industry which
has become of late years of immense inn
portance and value to the people of all
civilized countries. York Tribune.

The Sense of Touch.

A curious scientist, who has been Civ
ing careful attention to the matter, says
that mans sense of touch, or feeling,
resides almost wholly in the skin and in
those parts Of the body, as the lips and
the tongue, that are most exposed, while
some of our most important organs, the
heart, for instance, and the brain, are
quite insensible to touch, thus showing
that not only are nerves necessary for
the sensation, but also the special end
organs. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest astonishment by Har-
vey, who, while treating patient for
an abscess that caused large cavity in
his side, found that, when he put his
fingers into this cavity, he could actually
take hold OF the heart without the pa
tient being in the least aware of what he
was doing. This so interested Harvey
that he brought King Charles I. to the
mans bedside that "he might himself
behold and touch so extraordinary
thing" In certain operations a piece OF
skin is removed from the forehead to the
nose, and it is stated that the patient,
oddly enough, feels as if the new nasal
part were still in his forehead and may
have headache in his nose.-New Or

The Feeding Habits Of serpents.

Since the month of August of 1885,
the Garden of Plants, of Paris, has been
in possession of South American boa
which has been the object of some in
teresting observations on the part of Mr..
Valiant, especially as regards its ali
mentation.
This serpent is at least twenty feet in
length. From the time of its reception
by the garden up to the end of the year
1891 1T has taken food thirty-four times,
that is to say, on an average of FIVE times
year, the interval between its meals
varying from twenty eight to 204 days.
The animal regulates its own meals,
manifesting its hunger by characteristic
uneasiness. Its food has almost always
consisted of goats of small size, although
on three occasions it has taken rabbits,
and on one occasion a goose. The
largest animal that it has swallowed is
kid weighing twenty-six pounds, repre-
senting about sixth of its own weight.
1t Is we'll known, however, that SER
pents are capable of swallowing animals
almost as large as themselves, and at the
menagerie of the museum, few years
ago, horned viper was caught in the
act of swallowing French viper, its
companion in captivity, which was
little larger than itself. The horned
viper did not appear in any way to suf-
fer from its meal. As for the digestive
function, that is relatively rapid, for the
Iesidua of it are generally evacuated at
single time, after each meal, and at the
end of but q few days.-Scientifc
