Roanoke Times Enterprise.
From the Bucheld journal.
The Ohio Extension edition of THE
edition comprises sum up practically
of the industrial development of this
section since 1882, with some special ref
erences to the important features of
the great Ohio trunk line. Tho various
towns along the lines of the Norfolk and
Western receive due mention. 1t is
big thing, and in the main, highly COM
mendable. DR.. Parsons, the principal
artist in the spread" is ingenious, and
knows just whore to place the paste.
Before concluding we do wish to laud
the efforts of the indefatigable doctor.
He has thoroughly demonstrated what
he Is, great worker and a trenchant
writer
Honor to whom honor is due"
From the facile pens of Harry M.
Smythe and Capt. ID. B. Baldwin splen-
did articles appear on the relative adj
vantages OF the twin cities, Bluefield
and Graham, which will appear in these
columns.
An elaborate historical sketch of Po-
cahontas, covering nearly four columns,
written by eX-Mayor John w. Sbotts,
reflects great credit upon the city of
mines, as we'll as upon tho resources of
the author. early DAYS on tho Ohio
extension, or 'Furriner's' Reminis-
cences," by John Sanborn. is an interest
ing as wellas amusing article. A descrip-
tive and historical sketch of Graham, by
Mayor Rich ardson, gives due promi-
nence to that city as good place to
dwell. Electric mining, by Charles
Thomas, is an instructive paper.
In short, the special edition of THE
TIMES is success.

Roanokers are unaware of--that the
liquidation of real estate obliga
.ions exceeds that OF any year
ia tho history OF Roanoke, rising
to figures far in excess OF those
of any city in Virginia. 1t will show
by this that Notwithstanding tho in
vestmcnt Of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars IN building, the citizons of
Roanoke have reduced their aggregate
Indebtedness by figures running into
the millions.
If THE TINES has any mission to per-
form in issuing this edition it is to back
up the efforts OF the courageous business
men of Roanoke who have put their
brains, their nuscle, their hearts and
their fortunes into the HARD, unremit
ting fight which is going to win for tho
Magic City, the crown of commercial
and industrial supremacy over any city
between Washington and New Orleans.
TIE TIMES desires to call especial st
tention to this edition and desires the
cooperation of every citizen of Roanoke
in placing it in the hands of as many
people as possible. Every man who has
an interest in Roanoke must have it,
and every one who may BIO induced to
take an interest should have it.

A Valuable DOG.

1t is told in an English religious jour
nal that clergyman recently ofIiciatcd
for a brother clergyman. Being anxious
to know what impression he had made,
he asked the clerk: "Was my dis
course pitched in too high key? 1
hope l did not shoot over tho heads of
the people" mo, you didn't do that,
Sir" WAS it suitable thcmc?" asked
the clergyman. eyes, it was about
right" WAS it too long?" mo, but
1t was long enough" 81 am glad of
that, for, to tell you the truth, the
other day, rs was getting this sermon
ready my dog destroyed four or five
pages, and that has made it much short

you let our vicar have pup O. that ere

THIS EARTH OF OURS.

biologists.
biologists have ascertaincd that tho!
rate mt which erosion takes place can
he measured; by applying their scale to
the scdimentary rocks they have formed
q hypothesis us to the time which has
elapsed since erosion began.
The stratiiicd rocks attain an average
thickness of 100000 feet. The material
of which they consist was all washed
down from high planes, deposited and
left to stratify. by the inspection of
river banks it is found that in places
the surface of the land which has bccn
carried down Us sediment in rivers has
been reduced ut the rate of Il foot in
$50 years, while in other places. where
the land was more stubborn or less
flexible, it had taken G,S00 years to
lower the surface one foot The de-
post must be equal to the dcnudation.
We find that while some Of the scdi-
mentary rocks have grown {; foot in 720
years others have taken G,SOo years to
rise that height. Thus the period of
time that was required to build up 10O,-
600 feet of sedimcntary rock has varied
according to locality from $4,000, 900
to ESQ, 900, 900 years 1t follows that the
active work OF creation lasted for a
cycle intermediate between these two
figures. The cycle varied with endless
succession of periods of disturbance by
volcanic force and glacial action, and
the frequent submersion of dry land,
alternating with the emerging of CONT
nerts out of the seas. These may have
retarded the growth of scdimentary
rocks, but they cannot have accelerated
it.
A study of fossils teaches the steady
uniformity with which the work of ere
alton proceeded. Since man began to
observe there has been no change in the
forms of animal and vegetable life. A few
species have disappeared-not one new
species has been evolved. Not only do
we find the fauna and flora of ancient
Egypt as depicted on monuments which
are probably 5000 or 10000 years old
identical with those which are found in
that country to-day, but shells which
inhabited our seas before the ice age
and grew in an ocean whose bed ovcrlay
the Rocky mountains are precisely the
same species that arc found in the bay
of Monterey and the waters of the
Chesapeake. 1t is evident that there
has been no essential change in the con-
dltlons of life since these animals and
these vegetables wcIc first created, vet
how vast the shortest period which we
can assign to the gap that divides US
from that remote epoch.

WORK OF THE COURTS.

No member of tho four contestants
before the famous electoral commission
of 1877 is now alive. Tilden and Hen
bricks have gone. Wheeler has joined
the great majority and now Rutherford
B. Hayes is dead 1t has been the i'll
fate Of more than ono President to be
belittled by the Presidency, while tho
Vice-PresideDcy will dwarf mediocrity
itself. Johnson, obscure in tho seat of
President of the Senate. lost repu tation
in the shoes of Lincoln. Grant, magnan.
imous in victory, lost favor under the
strain of defending carpet baggism in
the South and whisky rings and other
public plunderers at Washington.
Martyrdom saved Garfield's reputa-
ton, but for Hayes no fortunate facts
OF history have relieved his colorless
administration from contempt. His
own party repudiate his strengthless
course. The Democracy has never for
given the beneficiary OF the electoral
commission trap, whereby Tilden was
despoiled of office.
Yet under Hayes specie resumption
was ACCOMPLISHED and homo rule was
restored in the South. His cabinet was
the redeeming feature of his admins
tratlon. Evarts, Sherman, Schurz and
Devens were each head and shoulders
above the President in ability, yet they
could not save the popular governor OF
Ohio from becoming the most unpopu
lar President the country has ever had.

How 1t Is Promoted or Retarded by Ger

The influence of diet upon the growth
of hair is the subject of paper in
which, according to the Washington
Star, the writer says: Several cases of
shedding of hair after influenza has con-
frmed my opinion that diet has much
to do with the production and with the
cure of sympathetic alopecia. Hair
contains five per cent. of sulphur, and
its ash twenty per cent of silicon and
ten per cent. of iron and manganese.

which constitute tho diet of patients

supply these elements, and atrophy as

The color and strength of hair in
young mammals is not attained so long
as milk is the sole food. As to drugs,
iron has prompt influence. The foods
which most abundantly contain the

albumenoids and the oat, the ash of the
