ting fair returns. There are still large bodies of virgin pine for sale at low prices, constituting an inviting field for the investment of capital. There is abundant room for a great development without an exhaustion of supply for many years to come.
 Among the most encouraging and hope full signs of the times is the gain in im- migration, especially of good class or people from the northwest. Our people here have long been holding out cor dial and sincere invitation, and we are all glad that 1t has at last been accepted. Several colonies have recently been es- tablished and are succeeding, increasing their numbers every month. Among the first legislative enactments l have ap- proved on being inaugurated as Gov ernor on December l, was one to estab- fish charter for Fruithurst, new town, built by newcomers, and both hope and believe that I will have the pleasure or approving others of the same sort during my term of office. The people of Ala bama are in hearty accord in their de- sire to welcome and encourage these new citizens. Our rate of taxation is low, there is no imitation of land values, and the sentiment to sustain and improve our public shools Is fast becoming sort of universal enthusiasm. The future in this regard Is more than promising.
 The near future will add considerably to the railroad facilities in Alabama. d to Jackson, Miss, which will add much to the importance of our seaport, while the prospect is good for the immediate construction of line from Montgom- cry to Columbus Miss, with something like 200 miles of track in Alabama.
 Our people do not yield to discourage fnents, and they are making progress. Our public institutions, especially our schools are gaining ground, and the thoughts and energies of the people are more and more being directed to the need and engaged in the effort to utilize our varied resources. The knowledge or machinery is becoming more general the disposition to invest our little savings in the business of turning raw material into manufactures is steadily growing, and we are acquiring confidence in our own skill and ability to succeed in new de- partments of industry. We are all re- alizing that "the gods help them who help themselves" and while we invite and solicit the investment of capital from the outside, and need 1t, we are not sit ting down and waiting for 1t, but going steadily forward in as large a way as our limited means will allow. We are not despisng the day of small things, and have no doubt that the day of much larger things is nigh unto us.

SIGNALING AT SEA
Diversity Of Opinion About the Rel.
ative Merits of Lights.

Diversity Of Opinion About the Rel.
ative Merits of Lights.
There is great diversity Of opinion
in the British navy as to the merits
and dement's Of colored lights for sig
mailing. Most Of the young officers are
strongly in their favor. AS they point
out a signal on this system can be
kept showing as long as. required,
1'hile any amount Of repetition Of
lash signaling may not, under some
conditions, render It Ineligible with
any degree Of certainty.
The British naval authorities who
have been int efatigable In testing new
systems Of signaling, both for day and
night purposes, have recently made a
trial at Portsmouth Of the Sellner sys-
tenn. invented by On officer in the Aus.
trian army. This system consists Of
two lanterns, each capable Of produc.
ing I'VE classes Of light, namely, white
and red, white occulting, red occult
Ing. Thirty different combinations are
placed on the code. Electric lights are
used Tor the lanterns, and though, for
the present, separate batteries are used
for the lights and for the signaling ap-
paratus by which the lights are chang
ed and obscured at will, It IL intended
that eventually one dynamo shall SUP
ply all Of the current required. "A rec
ord Of signals sent by the apparatus Il
obtained by an attachment which
prints the message sent automatically.
No difficulty was experienced IN read
Ing the signals at q distance Of elk
miles or more. The objection raised 70
the system is that the mechanism II

Gently brought out for removing this

Anacsthetics In Remedial Surgery.
DR.. Brudenell Carter contrasts in
strong colors what surgery was before
the discovery Of anaesthesia, and what
1t Is to-day. The use Of anaesthetics
has changed its whole aspect. Prior
to 1S47 operations were few in num-
Der and were almost limited to the
amputation Of limbs, the removal OF
generous and other tumors. the re-
section Of few Of the larger Joints,
cutting for stone and the ligature Of
main arteries Tor aneurisln. The pain
suffered by the patients was 90 horri-
bic as to tax severely the endurance
of the bravest and strongest, and to
depress seriously and often beyond re-.
call the powers of life. Death from
shock was by no means uncommon,
the patient sinking in q few hours
from the effect Of the suffering which
he had undergone. DR.. Carter remem-
beers as medical student Of turning
sick and faint at the agonies wh!ah -
was called upon to witness. It vas q
point Of honor with operators in those
days to abbreviate such agonies az
much as possible, and to cultivate
speed in operating as the highest and
the most valuable form Of dexterity.
An amputation in the hands Of q prac-
ticed surgeon had almost the appear
ance Of a feat Of legerdemain. For the
Of the lower limb above
the knee Of course, not including
dressing twenty seconds has been
known to suffice; and forty seconds
was regarded as the period Of time
which no one was justified In exceed
ing. When anaesthetics were employ
ed 1t came to surgeons as kind Of
revelation that they need no longer be
In haste, and they have utilized that
knowledge in making leisureiy exam
ination and safe procedure.
