The summer boarder farmers have
heard that a sanitarium is i'll prospect,
and they are glad to welcome this addi-
tion to the attractions of the neighbor-
hood. They are right in part only.
There will be sanitarium, but it will
be only one feature of a community in
which DR.. Gibier proposes to try an ex-

art and fin de steele medicine added.

world" DR.. Gibier told me at the Pas
teur institute, in West Ninety seventh
street. 81 might at this time retire or
travel about the world and amuse my
self, but prefer to try this experiment
to give this benefit to the world,
though at considerable sacrifice to my
self. "
The doctor was not yet ready to go
into details.

benefits as this cure and other fruits Of
science should be made available to the
poor without cost; that the rich should
in some way contribute to the relief of
the sick poor, placing the best resources
of science at the disposal of one man
the same as another.
1T may be that my ideas will be in
corporated in this enterprise-very like
ly they will be. My plans for buildings
and grounds and administration have
been elaborated very carefully, and in
the spring there will be nothing to pre-
vent our going ahead. We shall do SO.
Already some buildings are erected, and
these may be used for the shelter of rab
bits, guinea pigs, dogs, horses, oxen and
other animals used in our experiments.
1T is not true," DR.. Gibier insisted,

my personal enterprise, though M. Pas
teur's ideas may be incorporated in it
to some extent. "
1t has been said that among other
things Dr. Gibier will interest himself
in the cure of tuberculosis and diph-
liberia by incubation, as hydrophobia is
now treated at the Pasteur institute.

REALIZING A DREAM.
DR.. PAUL GlBlER TO TRY AN INTER-
ESTlNG EXPERIMENT.

Will Establish New Community Called
"Pasteur"-Pretty Site Has Been Chosen.
Will BE an Ideal Town-what He says
of 1t.
DR.. Paul Gibier, who has charge of
the New York branch of the Pasteur in
stitute, has dreamed a dream, and it is
being realized up in Rockland county,
N. Y, as fast as the weather permits.
1t is a dream which recalls in its out
lines the dream which a distinguished
countryman of DIR. Gibier brought to
realization 80 years ago in New Icaria
"a communistic dream, but with this
difference-New Icaria was as dull and
fiat as the Iowa prairie ON which it was
built, thing of homely farming; DR..
Gibier's community will be strictly up
to date and it will bear the honored
name of his late MASTER DR.. Pasteur.
Only the outlines are ready yet for
the public eye. The summer boarder
farmers in little valley in Rockland
county, between the ranges of the Rama
po hills, are aware that a building prof
ect of considerable bie\mapnitude is going
ON in their neighborhood.
There is an oblong strip of meadow
between the towns of Suffern and Tall
mans. Tuxedo Park is five miles away.

THE OLDEST OBEllSK,
1t Stands on the Banks of the Nile Not
Far From Cairo.

The Oldest of all the obelisks is The
beautiful one of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields ON
the banks of the Nile not far from
Cairo. 1t is the grayestone of great
city which has vanished and left only
this relic behind That city was Beth
shemes Of Scripture. the famous On,
which is memorable to all Bible readers
as the residence of the priest of On,
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, the city of the sun, because
there the worship of the sun had its
chief center and its most sacred shrine.
1t was the seat of the most ancient uni
yersity i'll the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, Solon, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there :. perhaps
Moses too. 1t was also the birthplace of
the sacred literature of Egypt, where
were written ON papyrus leaves the orig
inal chapter of the oldest book in the
world, generally known as 1.-The Book
of the Dead, giving most striking
account of the conflicts and triumphs of
the life after death, whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to have buried with
him in his coffin, and portions of which
are found inscribed on every mummy
case and on the walls of every tomb In
front of one of the principal temples of
the sun in this magnificent city stood,
along with companion long since de-
stroyed, the solitary obelisk which we
now behold on the spot. 1t alone has
survived the wreck of all the glory of
the place. 1t was constructed by User
tesen l, who is supposed to have reigned
$500 b. c., and has outlived all the dy-
nastic changes Of the land and still
stands where it originally stood nearly
AZ centuries ago. What appears of its
shaft above ground is 6S feet in height,
but its base is buried in the mud of the
Nile, and year after year the inundation
of the river deposits its film of soil
around its foot and buries it still deeper
in its sacred grave. Pail Mall Gazette.

An English Estimate of the Boer.

The following little anecdote may be
of some interest illustrating the mathe-
matical capacity of the Beers: six
years ago an Englishman owed a sum
of 1000 TO Boer. When payment was
demanded. instead of paying the whole
sum, he paid only E300. On arriving
home the Boer counted out his money
with the aid of Ready Reckoner, and
found that he had been paid E200 short.
He Immediately returned to the En-
glishman, explained to him that ac-
cording to his Ready Reckoner, he was
f200 short, The. ready witted Briton
