cheap process, also, has flooded the daily
press and inferior periodicals with a
quantity of poor Illustrations, of which
there are already signs that public taste
is growing tired. On the other hand,
there was never before so great field
for good illustrators. The economy Of
the process reproductions has made it
possible for publishers to avail themselves
much more extensively of illustrations,
and by careful touching-up at the hands
of skilful artists the shortcomings of the
mechanical reproductions are largely
counteracted. The net result, therefore,
Is distinct gain not only to the artists
but also to the reader. For good illus
trations are more than pleasant .acces-
sorry to the text; they bring us into a
particularly close personal intimacy with
the characters. To most of US the mind
picture of .Pickwick is rather what Phiz
drew than what Dickens penned. In
some cases, indeed, the artist may even
better the conception Of the author.

sportsmen's association and took great
interest in trap shooting. He was presi-
dent of the association for several terms.
On July 10, 1878, DR. Booth was married
to Miss Sarah Leah Lynch, daughter of
James S. and Sarah Adams (Johnson)
Lynch of Utica. She died in Florida,
February 10, 1892 On August IL last
at West Lebanon, N. H, he married EN-
ma J. Keith, who survives him, as does
one sister, Mrs Charles Judson of Hunt
ington.
The following eloquent tribute to his
memory was paid by DR. Ford, an associ-
ate of his in hospital work. DR. Ford
said:
We who are so constantly associated
with sickness and pain are so often oolig
ed to witness the death of friend or
patient, sometimes both in one person,
that we have sympathy with human
suffering and a sorrow for people who
suffer the loss of friend, which 1 think
is not appreciated generally by the laity.
When one of our number dies we are
peculiarly touched, and when that person
is also friend with whom we have work
ed, with whom we have shared anxieties,
and who has helped US in our emergen-
eies, then the sadness we feel is like that
which we experience when a member of
ones own family dies. And when man
in his prime, who through long years of
hard work and courageous endeavor, with
industry and loyalty to his profession has
attained high rank and is looked upon
both by the profession and by the COM
munity as useful man, one to be relied
upon in the great emergencies of life,
one whose judgment is not only matured
by cultivation and by experience, but is
also honestly given and courageously
backed up by willing endeavor, then we
are not only sad. but we share with the
community the feeling that the loss of
such s-man is, indeed, a calamity and
one that rightly brings up the best emo
tions and sympathies of all good men.
DIR Booth had lived too long in this
community to require. anything like a
eulogy from any member of our profess
sion. His work is well known and stands
as monument to his skill, his sound
judgment, his Industry and his fidelity
to the interests entrusted to him. His
early training was admirable. His first
work was supervised by men of rare
ability and genius, and his natural gifts
with laudable ambition added, made it
possible for him to rise in his profession
as few men have risen in this community.
If [ were to speak of single character
istic which distinguished him especially
and which brought the confidence of his
clients ana secured Lne admiration OF MS
fellow-workers and caused him to be
looked upon as man of stronghold
mired as all men of strength are-I
should say it was his courage. This was
both inherent in mis- makeup and was
cultivated by him. Perhaps no other
quality in man of action so thoroughly
disarms criticism and calls forth such
admiration from all men as does this
quality of courage. II enabled him also
TO do successfully what timid man of
equal skill could not have done. He had
the dizziness of touch and wonderful
brilliancy OF technique when actually
operating. and the painstaking thorough

Extinct Animals.

In q late number of Science DR.. G..
Hart Merriam closes an article which
criticises in rather destructive way
some of the geological theories of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, with an appeal to mu-
lseums, sportsmen and naturalists to
take advantage Of every opportunity
before it is too late to secure and pre-
serve specimens of our larger mammals
from remote parts of their ranges.
Many species have been exterminated
in Europe by man, and in this country
the process has already begun. The
familiar story Of the vanishing buffalo
is only one of many. The giant grizzly
of southern California, the largest
carnivorous animal of the United States,
is about exterminated, and it is doubt
full if a museum specimen will ever be
obtained The large wolves have been
exterminated over more than half the
area they formerly possessed, and no
one knows what forms have disap-
peared. An unknown form of elk or
Wapiti, which within the memory of
men still living inhabited the Allegha-
MES from North Carolina to the Adiron-
dacks, has been wiped off the face of
the earth.

THE TROLLEY BUZZ.

And Something About the Trolley
Cars as a Cure for HeadacIne.
.:E Ever hear of the trolley buzz 2, said
a Brooklyn resident whose business is
in New York. .'They say that some
people who travel regularly on the troll
ley cars get the trolley buzz. You Know
the sound of the trolley, the bz-z-z-z
that begins low and rises gradually as
the car increases in speed, keeping a
uniform tone when the car is running
at uniform speed, and then declining
again as the car runs slower and stop
ping when the car stops? They say
there are people who travel regularly on
trolleys who hear this sound all the
time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. They call this having
the trolley buzz.
It never had the. trolley buzz, but the
trolley cars sometimes do me a great
deal Of good. They cure me of head
ache. I work here all day, keeping
very busy, and sometimes when I start
home at night I have hard headache.
I get into a trolley car and take. seat
over one Of the axles. They say that no
electricity gets into the car, but I I'M
agine there must be more or less Of it in
the air. I know there is something
there that cures my headache. / sit
down in the car with the headache bad;
I get down from it after a ride of about
three miles, feeling bright and fresh
and with the headache gone.''

WOOD MOSAIC or sAwDusT.

Highly Ornamen tai Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of a new process OF
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood, as
saWdust, wood flour and fine shavings,
are treated first with mixture Of shell
lac and alcohol, and then with cement
made Of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, it is put into
hot molds Of the desired shape and size.
and placed under pressure. The joint
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After a few
minutes the compound is taken out Of
the molds when it is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
of an oily nature, be present, as it would
prevent the cement from being alb
sorbed into the pores of the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color of the woods used is taken
into consideration, then the wood itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before
In spite of it's hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood, SO
that it is particularly well adapted fo,.
use as q floor covering in living rooms
and private DWELLINGS,. N important
advantage over all other processes OF
manufacturing mosaic floors is that It
is not affected by any change Of t.1n-

Uneven Ground.
The moving OF an ordinary brick
building has always been consid-

chimney without accident or damage
over q considerable stretch of uneven
ground, was recently accomplished at
Manhanset, Shelter island Suffolk coun-

The chimney, says the Scientific
American, is s5 feet high and sevenfeet
square at the base, with outer and in

nearly 100 tons. twas moved about

Quite a grade, both up and down. The
cradle rested on two skids creased on
the under side and sliding on creased
blocks. The purchase used was a grain
capstan, and one horse at $50 fold, and
the time occupied in loading and NOV

of only four men. The chimney was
placed on its new foundation without a.
particle of harm. This is the second

THE SUI L ANS Il Ell

His Eldest Brother, Who is Little
@ Known Among the People,
The sultan's heir is not his eldest son,

succeeds. Such is the law Of Islam, and
the fruitful source Of d mast murders

became power, says the London Echo.
The sultan has four bro theirs not one,
only, as was lately alleged. This eldest
brother is Rechad Effendi; that is to
say, he is the eldest after ex-Sultall
Murad ", who, being insane, is not.
counted. The third bro ther;is IVaredill,
and the fourth SULLIVAN. The sultan'sz
seldestson, Prince Selim, has no earthly
chance Of succeeding his father. He
has too many uncles and uncles' sons.
for that. But Prince Se1im is luely, if
he knows it, for he is not dangerous
He lives a life of freedom, whereas the
heir is, by the custom Of the Ottomans,
a kind of life prisoner. q Z.
Rechad EMendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives out he is escorted by a
troop, less by way of an escort than as
q guard. The few who do know him
like him, for. he issaid to bea courteous
humane, well inf ormed man, acquainted
with current politics and keenly inter
ested in them. He is a good farmer
The pretty palace known as the Tcher
sagan is his residence. OF course,
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted, and when they are
leaving, by the sultan's officials Dur,
ing this time of trouble in Armenia.
sConstantinople and Crete, Rechad has
been more narrowly watched than ever.
for the sultan and his clique know that
Rechad is popular. Unlike the sultan
Rechad is one of the most handsome
