II was with deep regret that we heard
thatour friend and brother physician, DR..
L. I. Smith had departed this life.
That infinite power which has so won
derfully created man has ordained for
him a grander destiny han to live inn
mortal form ouly. Life indeed would
be better irony were death the end Of
all.
Dr.. Smith for many years pr o: to his
death was debarred from the active
practice of his profession, on account
of i'll health. Yet he always manifested
a great interest in the advan cement of
our profession, and whereas We wish to
give evidence Of our appreciation Of his
devotion to the medical profession,
therefore be it resolved by the Durham
Academy of Medicine
I. That we take this mode oil Offering
our appreciation Of his friendship and
fidelity to the cause Of medicine and to
the relisf of suffering humanity.

family our heartfelt sympathy, and sim

them more worthily to live as did he,
the life of the just, ever remembering
Gall who live must die"
). That a copy Of these resolutions be
furnished to the family, to the city pa

To Liberata Napoleon.

In these days when everybody is
reading and talking about Napoleon
Bonaparte 1t is interesting to hear the
story current in England that at one
time vessel was undertaken To be
built Battersea, by the renowned John.
son, the smuggler, for the purpose OF
hberating Bonapnrte from the Ialan |
of st. Helena.
The vessel was about ninety ieet
long, and of the burden Of one hun
dred tons. 1t was built OF half inch
plank. The grain of two such planks
was placed in vertical, and tho other
two In n horizontal position. These
plauks were so we'll cnlked and cemented
together that the thickness of the sides
of the vessel did not exceed that of an
ordinary washing tub.
The masts were SO contrived TINT
they could be lowered to a level with
the deck, and the whole vessel might
be sunk in shonl water with the crew
on board without danger. Ample
means were provided for SUPPLYING
the vessel with fresh mir.
The plan was to sail up at night
within n short distance of st. Helena.
and sink the vessel until the next or
some subsequent night, when Bona
parte would be enabled to make his
escape to the beach, at which time the
vessel was to be raised. Bonaparte to
get on board and sail away in the
dark.
1t happened, however, that Bona

finished, and it is curious comet
dence that she was to be coppered the
very day the news of his death arrived.

A Wonderful Fortified Forest

Down in Apache County, Arizona.
covering n tract of ten miles square,
on Government land, is n wonderful
petritied forest which has been visited
by many tourists and frequently de-
scribed in newspapers, magazines and
books. Some of the trunks of the
trees are 200 feet high and from seven
to ten feet in diameter The exhibit
OF petrilied wood from this forest in
the Manufactures Building Mt the
Worlds Fair will be remembered, and
also the beautiful samples that were
shown in the Arizona Pavilion. In
many respects the color and grain Of
the petrlfactions are superior to the
Mexican onyx, although they cannot
be obtained IN such large slabs. The
forest is being rapidly plunderod by
spectators and tourists, and the Leg.
lslnture of Arizona has sent a petition
to Congress that the laud be with.
