The Cora Problem.
rPoR TIE GLC5s DEaJc74r.


The Western farmers are con-
fronted by the fact that while they
are blessed with Il bountifui corn
crop its abundance involves tie
irony Of prices which leaves them
little or no profit fer their labor
This is always the condition that
interfercs with hearty rejoicing
over phenomenal product Of any
kind. The market Is regulated by
the supply. and when the supply
< excessive, the prices derl;ne ac-
corcilng'y. But IN the'casc Of corn.
at least, the producer Is not wholly
at the mercy Of such & condition.
The price OF that important cereal
never remains long at a low point.
It generally touches bottom to be
Gin with, and then there is a grad
uAl advance n satisfactory jiInre.

Spiders That Change CoIors.

An interesting instance of color MIN
icry in spiders has been observed in the
south of France. The spiders of That
region, when in search Of prey, hide in
the convolvulus flowers. 1t has been
noticed that white variety of spider
frequented the white flowers; green
ish colored variety made the green
flowers his home, and a pink one lived
principally in the pink flowers. The col
ers of the three varieties were at first
supposed to be permanent, but it has
recently been discovered that the color
of any one of these spiders changes
within few days if the insect be
placed in the convolvulus of a different
colored flower to that which he has
been using as his home. -Four spiders.
pink, white, green and yellow in color,
were all put into "A box together and

Something of a sensation was created
at the meeting in the tent. The visit
ing governors were called upon for re-
marks and Cows. Morton, of New York;
Matthews, of Indiana, and Woodbury.,
of Vermont, responded. The latter
spoke of the rebellion as wrong and
said he taught his children that those
who engaged in it were also wrong,
Gov. Turney, of Tennessee, replied to
Gov. Woodbury., stating that he did
not teach his children that he (Turney)
was in the wrong for the part he took
in the rebellion.
Gen. Boynton's labors for the estab-
lishment of Chickamauga park were
recognized by the people of Chatta-
nooga in substantial manner. A num-
ber of the most prominent men of the
city went to the Office of the national
park commission and presented Gen.
Boynton a magnificent and massive
service of silver, comprising 225 pieces,
encased in handsome box.
Yesterday demonstrated beyond a
doubt the wisdom of consecrating to
the people of the United States the
battlefield of Chickamauga. 1t was a
veritable ''love feast" of the blue and
the gray. Victor and vanquished, cap
tor and captive, met together; with
wild hurrahs from both sides the stars
and stripes were swung to the breeze
over Camp Lamont, and everywhere
blue and gray commingled, even in the
badges of the reception committee.

for years to those who have had oppor-
tunity for investigation, but that re-
gion of our country is so remote and inac-
cessible to the general public that until
the fish commissioner gave publication
of the facts it was impossible for every
one to know all of the truth and all OF
the possibilities which may result from
prudent and economic development OF
those resources. Statistics show that
$50, 900 cases, representing over 4,000,-
900 salmon, were taken from one in
significant rivulet which runs into the
Karluz river of Alaska during one sea-
SON. The entire product of the sea-
son of 1889 amounted to approximately
81, 100000. Surely that is an industry
worthy rather of development than OF
neglect. The product of the canneries
there for 1890 exceeded $7,500,00O. The
catch is accomplished by gill nets,
traps and seines, but the greatest catch
is made by haul sejnes which sweep the
estuaries of the small rivers Seine
follows seine in rapid succession in
the proper season, and the catch is
almost complete in every case. These
important fisheries will be impover-
ished within few years, unless the
suggestions of the fish commissioner
meet with prospt approval and con-
grsssional action. SMITH ID. Fry.

Chattanooga was early astir and all
the morning the various roads to the
Chickamauga field were filed with
vehicles carrying would-be spectators
of the dedication ceremonies. A belt
line of railroads was organized for the
occasion, and by that agency it was
possible for the great crowd to reach
the grounds. The exercises were held
on an immense stand built near the OBJ
servation tower on Snodgrass HILL the
center of the deadly opening day con-
hict.
Besides the federal officials, includ-
ing Secretaries Herbert and Smith,
Postmaster General Wilson, Attorney
General Harmon and congressman
present, there were the governors of
fifteen states, some accompanied by
their staffs and members of the COM
missions from the several states ap-
pointed to act with the national COM
mission in locating monuments and
marks. Missouri, Florida and North
Carolina were represented by delega-
tions o. distinguished citizens, and to
crown all was the host of survivors of
the battle, who represented nearly
every state in the country. Especially
noticeable were the veterans who came
from Louisville wearing their G. A. r.
buttons. Early arrivals on the ground
were entertained by drill of battery
L, Fourth artillery, and by battalion
drill, under Capt. Poland, commanding
Camp Lamont.
Promptly at noon a salute of forty
fonr guns announced the beginning of
the exercises Music by the band of
the Fourteenth Ohio regiment fol-
lowed. The addresses of Senator John
M. Palmer, of Illinois, and of Senator
John b. Gordon, of Georgia, We're pre-
ceded by the singing of america" by
the audience and followed by "Auld
Lang Syne." Gen. j. S. Fullerton,
chairman of the national park commits
sion, and as such charged with the duty
of directing the dedicatory exercises,
introduced Vice President Stevenson,
who presided in the absence of the sec
retary Of war. Prayer was offered by
Bishop Gailor, of Tennessee. The first
address was that of Gen. Palmer.
Gen. Gordon opened his address by
quoting "The illustrious Charles Sum
ner's proposal in the United States SEN
ate to strike from. the battlefiags all
mementoes of our civil war" He
eulogized the broad spirit of patriotism
which inspired that proposition, though
he said Mr.. Sumner reasoned as clas-
steal student rather than as practical
statesman.
Gen. Gordon closed an eloquent per-
Noration as follows:
Every uniform worn by the brave, whether
It's color was blue or gray; every sheet OF fame

and excessive soreness, he decides that
the virus is good. In all these tests,
however, results are checked" against
standards of known effect. Should any
lot of virus produce many failures or
give rise to bad results the whole is re-
jected and sent back to the factory.
An entirely new kind of vaccine
points" is being used in Chicago now.
The old bone slips dipped in virus are.
obsolete, except as employed in private
practice. The evils of the old sort were
that the virus was always exposed to
the air, that dangerous germs of all
kinds collected on the points and that
the virus was almost always weak and
uncertain in its action. Frequently the
use of these points caused mild blood
poisoning and other distinct diseases,
and they often made fearfully sore,
arms, assesses and fevers.
The new points are different. They
are made of glass, drawn in flame,
filled with liquid virus as soon as the
glass tubes are cool enough and her
metically sealed by melting the tips OF
the glass. The virus in these tubes
is mixed with glycerine, which pre-
vents decay and stops the Developments
of any foreign germs, so that If the
points are kept cool and in the darlr
they will keep active and perfect for q
long time.
When vaccination is to be per-
formed the doctor takes one of these
sealed glass points, cleans it with an
antiseptic solution, also cleans the arm
to be treated also cleanses his lancet
by drawing it through a flame. Then
he makes single scratch on the arm
not enough to draw blood-and insert
ing one of the unsealed vaccine points
into Pasteur rubber bulb syringe he
forces the virus into the scratch on the
arm. In few days it works." and
the patient is proof against smallpox
for several years
The new operation is absolutely Ger
tain when the subject is susceptible to
the vaccine, blood-poisoning is impos-
sible and evil effects never are OBJ
served after it. The old argument that
vaccination might implant tuberculosis
germs is exploded, for with the pre-
liminary tests such microbes are not
present in the virus.

VIRUS IN GLASS BULBS.
Now Method of Vaccination Prac-
ticed in Chicago.
Health Officers Introduce Process Than
Does Away with "Points''--How tho
Tests Are Made and the Pre-
ventive Applied.

Chicago is in the eyes of the medical
world just now; for that city is giving
science its first accurate knowledge of
vaccination as n distinct department Of
research and observation.
Before the days of Assistant Health
Commissioner Frank w. Reilly and
Chief Medical Inspector L. CARROT, of
the Chicago department, an idea pre-
vailed generally that vaccination was a
trivial matter-to be done by anybody,
anywhere, anyhow and with any kind
of bovine or human vaccine virus. ALL
this is changed now, states the Chicago
Record.
The theory of Drs. Garrett and Reilly
is that vaccination is important enough
to engage the attention and enlist the
learning of the ablest practitioners.
They cry out against the idea that any
body can inoculate n patient as well as
the physician.
At the present time the medical
heads of the health departmental are
making exhaustive studies of the sub
ject and are compiling statistics which
they expect will become authoritative
throughout the world in the matter of
smallpox prevention.
Every grain of vaccine matter used
by the department is subjected to tests
us severe us can be devised. First,
samples are sent to DIR. Gehrman, the
chemist and bacteriologist of the de-
partment. He makes "culture"-that
is to say, he sees how many kinds of
germs he can raise from the sample Of
virus Then he puts the bacilli under
his microscope to see whether any Of
them are the agents of erysipelas, OF
pus formation or of septic Diseases
blood poisoning and the like. If he
finds the virus to be free from these
dangerous germs he sends back a re-
port 20. X" DIR. Garrett then takes
samples of the same lot and vaccinates
dozen persons needing smallpox pro-
lection. If the virus takes" in ma
jority of the cases and if the sores pro-
duced are typical" without improper
symptoms, such as mattery discharges

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept, 90 After
an interval of thirty-two years, the
blue and the gray met again yesterday
around the crescent of Snodgrass HILL,
on the battlefield of Chickamauga, but
not as then, amid the leaden hail which
marked those dreadful days of 1868,
making the conflict the most fatal
which history knows. Under one flag
a reunited host devoted to the advance
ment of one common country, the vet
eran foemen of third of century ago
met to dedicate as national park the
ground made sacred by the blood of
heroes who fought at their side.
This park is one of the most notable
spects. 1t extends from Sherman
Heights in Tennessee, to Glass Mills,
Ga, distance of twenty-five miles,
over all of which the governments of
these states have ceded jurisdiction to
THE United States. At present the gov
,ernment owns between ten and eleven
square miles-6, 500 acres, of which $500
are cleared of underbrush. Congress
has authorized the purchase of a total
area of about sixteen square miles. 1t
has already expended for the park
$780, besides $50, 900 for the expen-
ses of the dedication. Seventy-two
miles of roadway have been made and
five observation towers erected within
the park limits and within view from
them are the scenes of the battles of
Chickamauga, Orchard Knob, Lookout
Mountain, Wauhatchie, Missionary
Ridge and Browns Ferry.
A broad boulevard will connect the
extreme points of the park, much of it
being already constructed along the
crest of Missionary Ridge, Bragg's line
of battle From almost any point along
it's length a magnificent view of the
valley and far off heights is obtained
In its work of marking the line of bat
tie and positions of the troops engaged,
the national commission has been as
sisted by the commissioners of twenty
ty-five states. About 800 large histori-
cal tablets are already in place and
other tablets, giving locality and dis
tance, number 800. Each battery en-
gagged is being marked by at least two
guns One hundred and fifty guns are
mounted in batteries and 400 guns are
on the ground ready for mounting

Ohio's representation in the process
sion was the most striking portion. At
its head rode Gov. Mckinley and his
entire staff in full Uniform. The ap-
pearance of the governor was greeted
with cheers along the entire route of
march and he was kept busy dofting
his hat in acknowledgment of his
hearty reception. Besides the Four
teenth regiment of Ohio national
guards, Gov. Mckinley had in his com
mand the famous Cleveland troop,
which formed President Hayes escort
at his inauguration in 1877; Battery II
and the Toledo cadets. The command
made fine appearance and received
much applause.

principal streets to Grant University
in front of which the reviewing stand
was erected. The streets were deco.
rated with the national colors in all
conceivable designs and as the troops
marched under them they were accom-
