HOSPITAL PROPERTY EXEMPT.

HOSPITAL PROPERTY EXEMPT.
Town Counsel Goodhart yesterday
filed an opinion to the effect that the
Fitch property on Church street is not
liable to taxation. Mr.. James G. Eng
lish has leased the property for five
years, from January | of this year,
from the Hospital sociesy, with the OPP
ton of purchasing the property for $35,
900 at the end of the term.
Mr. Goodharts opinion is based on
the fact that the property is still owned
by the Hospital society, and as such
cannot be taxed.
The Public Acts of 1896 declare that
all property of any hospital society
which is supported wholly or in part by
state appropriations shall be exempt
from taxation. The General Hospital
society of Connecticut, therefore, comes
under this head.

Mr. Vanderbilt's change for the better
came early this morning, when he
awoke from a refreshing sleep. Such
was his condition when DR.. McLane ar
rived this morning.
The two policemen yesterday assign
ed to the duty Of requesting truckmen
not to drive past the house were on
duty again this morning. They had
additional Instructions to keep the
crowd in front Of the house moving.
The curious persons who had gathered
along Fifth avenue and on the side
streets were kept walking up and down
after the arrival of the police.
DR.. Chauncey M. Depew will leave
Liverpool to-day by the Lucania.
1t was said at Mr.. Vanderbilt's house
this morning that some Of the relatives
expected yesterday had arrived. To-
ward noon carriages were drawn up to
the Fifty-seventh street entrance of the
house carrying anxious friends, who
remained inside only long enough to
hear the latest news about the patient.
The crowd about the street watched
the callers when not kept moving by
the police.
brother-in law, Mr.. Twornbly. left the
house at 1880 o'clock this morning. In
speaking of MIR. Vanderbilt DR.. McLane
said:
"The reason that we have decided not
to give any more bulletins until this
evening is because of the great i'm
provement in Mr.. Vanderbilt's condi-
ton. Mr.. Vanderbilt will not die to-
day There is no more reason to be-
lieve that he will die to-day than there
is to expect my death to-day. The dis
ease is such that if the end does come
1t will come very slowly.
''He will not die suddenly if he does
die We hope for his recovery and feel
of the members of the family feel that
they can return to their country homes
Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt, who has
been here since Tuesday, has gone to

scious. He was able this morning tc
talk with all the members of his family
for a few minutes. Mrs. Vanderbilt is
constantly by his bedside"
The Rev. DR.. David H. Greer, rector
of ST. Bartholomew church, Of which
Mr. Vanderbilt is a member, who is al

When a Tent Cent Piece is Good.

One phase of the silver question
came up in the supreme court of the
United States few days ago in case
decided by Chief Justice Fuller.
James E. Morgan and wife were on a
car operated by the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad Company. The con-
ductor refused to accept for their fare
ten-cent piece, because he thought
it was not worth par, being worn by
abrasion while circulating as part of
the national currency.
Morgan was elected and brought suit
against the railroad company for dam
ages therefor. He recovered judgment
for $315 and costs, and the judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court OF
the state. The railroad company sued
out writ of error and carried the
case to the supreme court OF the
United States. In disposing of it the
chief justice referred to the law regu-
lating the defaced and abraded coins,
and stated that there was no provision
against silver coins which were abraded
In circulation and that they were le-
gal tender as long as they bore the
semblance of coin.
The writ of error was dismissed, thus
affirming the Judgment of the state SUI

Coal in a River Bed,

AS I drew near, picking my way
over the irregular rocks that paved
the beach, / saw that the workers were
not rivermen, but farmers. They
were carrying the round black and
gray objects high up on the beach,
and building pyramids of them, very
much like those one sees made of can
non balls at military posts.
"What be we a.doin' OFF," answered
one old fel'oy. "Why, we be a-gettin'
in our winters coal. Cert'nly, It's
coal"
"But whut makes it so round, and
where do you get it?" asked.
"Why, this yere coal was planted in
the river during the war;" answered
the old man, sitting down upon a
gunwale of his skiff. "During the
war fleet of coal barges was sunk up
river by the shot from Morgan's gup.
Later on the Government blew up the
barges to open up the channel, an

shadows, and when we see lump We
bring it up to the surface with q scoop

in water. A chunk that you can't lift
on land is easily raised to the top of
the water. I've got nothin' to do just

In proof OF the cleanliness of the
drift coal the old man exhibited his
claw-like hands, the palms OF which,
instead of being black, were whitened
with powder that resembled lime
dust. This was accounted for FROM
the fact that many Jumps of coal in
their travels had been covered with
deposit of lime, and were Whitley gray,
like the rock that contributed to their
coloring. The pieces of coal ranged
from the size OF u baseball up to that

irregularly shaped, with rounded

The Sails in the Ocean.

The salts OF the seq have fed,
throughout all time, countless living
things which have thronged its water
and whose remains now form the
rocks of continents or lie spread in
beds of unknown thickness over &C.,
900, 200 square miles of the 143, ,000,-
900 square miles of the oceans floor;
they have lent the substance to build
Che fringing reefs of the land and all
the coral islands of the sea, and there
are at present, on the basis of an aver
age salinity of three and e.half.per
cent. in the 900, 10000 cubic miles
of water which make mp the oceans,
80, 900, 900, 900, 100000 tons, or TO-
173, cubic miles of salt. This is
sufficient to cover the areas of all the
lands of the earth with uniform lay
er of salt to depth of 1000 feet.
1t seems that the sea was made salt
in the beginning as part of the grand
design of the Creator to provide for
the system OF evolution which has
been going on since the creation.
Many distinct species of living organ
isms exist in the sea as result OF its
salinity, and their remains have con-
tributed largely to the growth of con.
tinenrs. The three great factors in
accounting for the system of currents
in the ocean, by which it becomes the
great heat distributor of the globe,
are changes of temperature, the winds,
and salinity. The last mentioned be-
comes an important factor through
the immediate and essential differences
of specific gravity and consequent diff
fe-ences of level that it produces in
different parts of the ocean through
the action OF evaporation and rainfall.

Half an hour before the first gray

ing the old man would meet with some
