that the West India storm Is developing
and moving. Santiago de Cuba, in the
extreme eastern part of the island, cables
that the pressure there is 8O.02, with a
moderate north wind The sky and other
appearances indicate storm to the south
east Present indications are that this
storm will move northwest over the island
of Cuba, or little north of it, recurring
to the northeast when 1t reaches the south
point of Florida. There will probably be
little serious development until the present
high area moves off the coast and out of
the way. All interested should watch the
weather maps during the next few days, in

Huxley's Kindness.

y. G. NJ. Powell in the Lordon Spectator.
Your paper will, no doubt, be presently
full Of memories Of Professor Huxley. 1
should like, with your permission, to add
one while his loss Is so fresh with US.
Some time ago I received a letter from
an unknown correspondent asking me for
an account of a parishioner of mine, a
casual laborer in large dockyard. I
found out the man, and gathered that he
was socially of the laboring class--politi-
cally a socialist and theologically free
thinker, but that all his spare time was
devoted to original research, aided by a
sixpenny magnifying glass. So l reported
accordingly, and in a few days received a
letter from Professor Huxley, thanking
me for my exhaustive report and saying
that this man had sent him paper con-
tanning a most vivid and scientifically ac-
ourate description Of the multiplication by
fssion OF lowly organism observed by
him in an infusion of his own preparation.
The professors object in writing was to
ask me how best such a man could be
helped. l being at his special request the
Intermediary.
So I suggested in the meanwhile a micro
scope and few scientific books. In the
course of few days 1 received splendid
achromatic compound microscope and some
books. which I duly handed over to my
friend, telling him 1t was from an unknown
hand.
"Ah." he said. IT know who that must
be; 1t can be no other than tho greatest
Of living scientists; it is just like him to
help a tyro."
need hardly say how well and truly
my friend has profited by the professor 8
generosity; still more, by the thought of
his interest and sympathy. 1t was Pro-
fessor Huxley's wish, 1 know, 20 try to
find him a post In a marine laboratory or
some similarly congenial occupation. But
this plan, fear, will never now be carried
out. Still, the fact remains. of true
genius. though obscure, having been dis
covered and fostered by him whose death
has caused so great blank in the roll of
great English savants.

STREET EXTENSIONS
Arguments in the Injunction Case Con
cluded Before Judge McOomas
Mr.. Meloy's Response to the COnten
lions of the District-The Decf-
sion Reserved.

Arguments on the rule to show cause in
the suit brought by A. K. and E. ]. Tingle.
asking that the District Commissioners be
restrained from filing the first section of
the map Of the proposed extension of
streets and highways in the District. were
concluded today before Judge McComas
After The Stars report of the hearing
closed yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Andrew B..
Duvall. for the District, continued his
argument, declaring that the extension of
streets had to be made sooner or later, and
that this Is as good time to begin as any.
He also claimed that the property of the
Tingles would be much more valuable than
at present If the proposed alteration Is
made. When Mr.. Duvall concluded the
court adjourned for the day.
The hearing was resumed this afternoon
when Mr.. Meloy, for the compliments
again argued in support of the petition for
an injunction. After referring to Mary
land case, cited yesterday by Mr.. Thomas
and declaring that 1t had no bearing on
the case at issue, Mr.. Meloy remarked that
Congress does not intend to appropriate
cent for the payment of land taken for the
extension of streets until that body has
revised all the preliminary proceedings.
"And until then" interrupted Mr.. Thorn
as, you are not hurt"
But I contend that we are hurt from
the moment the map is fled" replied Mr..
Meloy.
The Only Just Way, According to Mr..
MeIOy.
"Manifestly the only just way to carry
cut this scheme for the enlargement of the
city," continued Mr.. Meloy, would be for
the authorities to secure a loan and make
immediate payment from it to the owners
Immediately upon the taking of their prop
erty. But no. they say, wen hold this
property for years. perhaps, at its present
market value. until we get ready to pay
for It, We are left hanging. like Mahom-
cts coffin, between heaven and earth, or,
perhaps I should say, between heaven and
hades. There we are left, not for six
months or year. but during the sweet
pleasure of the District authorities"
In closing Mr.. Meloy declared that the
owner would be prevented from building on
his property after the map is filed, the as
sertions of counsel. for the District to- the
contrary Notwithstanding 1.-The filing of
this map will operate as a club in the
hands Of the executive to kill the rights of
the owner. The law is not just or fair
one to the property owner, nor is it the
proper law to accomplish this great good
which we all DESIRE
Judge McComas will render his decision
in the case next week.

Continuous Rails.
From the National Car Builder.

From the National Car Builder.
Several methods have been employed to
accomplish this result, which seems to
be very desirable and especially advan-
tageous where the track is used as one of
the electrical conductors, as in the trolley
system. In one system the current from
the trolley line has been utilized for weld
ing the rails. In st. Louis the method is
pursued of uniting the rails at the joints
by running casting of iron around the
joint, by means of a special mold and a
portable furnace The molds are heated
up near the line of the track and a fire
built around them, so that by the time
they are to be put around the joints they
are dull red. The iron is poured into the
molds from ladle. After pouring, they
are allowed to remain ten minutes before
being removed for use on another joint.
The joint of every other section of track
is cast in the morning and the remainder
in the afternoon, this being done to pre-
vent, as far as possible, the severe strain
of contraction, for when the joint Is hot it
heats the rail for some distance on each
side, and consequently there is consider
able expansion.

From the Philadelphia Times.
To have a bed room or parlor papered

Babies i'm Summer.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A noted physician has said that food is
the greatest factor in health and disease
1t has made and unmade nations" If this
be true, how important it becomes for
mothers to consider healthful articles of
diet for their children, and to demand re-
form in the cooking of the foods usually
given to them. Nursery diet should con-
sist chiefly OF mill cereals the proper vege-
tables and FRUITS meat broths and very
little meat If any, for the earlier years.
Milk, Its preparation, as we'll as its adj
ADMINISTRATION, is the first difficulty to con-
front the mother in nursery feeding, al
though she may not consider 1t thus. Sta
tistics show, however, that nearly all the
ailments of children are directly traceable
to improper feeding, and that impure milk
is directly responsible for the numerous
deaths from cholera infantum that occur
every summer. in spite of the combined
efforts of physicians, statesmen, philan-
thropists and capitalists. 1t is evident chat
the reform needed for the permanent bene-
fit of the little ones must apply directly to
the mothers, and that lack Of education in
this direction must be met and conquered
The proper care Of milk demands purity
OF source, cleanliness in handling and quick
and careful transportation. Failing these
PasteuriZatton is the only safeguard left
to the mother, that she may protect her
caild from the contagion frequently carried
In milk that has been contaminated by cx-
posture to infection. 1t Is well known that
scarlet and typhoid fever, measles, diph-
iberia and similar diseases have often been
carried into families by the innocent-look-
ing bottle Of milk that has been served
daily.
This means the daily application to all
milk used of a temperature of 100 to 10
degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes
which temperature will kill all the germs
that are dangerous to the child, without
destroying the quality of the milk as a
food. which was the result when steriliza-
tion at a high and prolonged temperature
was first introduced as desirable process
in infant feeding.
For family purposes an ordinary agate
double boiler may be used very convenient
ly, but for the nursery it is advisable to
use one Of the best steamers made that
each meal may be separate and to insure
accuracy, which is more important for an
infant than for an adult.

Modesty and the Telephone.


They had new girl She was not the
