This is particularly true with children, when the young roots are sensitive; and many cases of prema- ture badness can be traced to the fact that hair was kept cropped and even shaven in youth.

THE SCIENCE OF
 GROWING A BEARD
Prof. Ra0uI Cabi0f, DfsCOYerer of the >MethOd Of TranSpIanffng Hair.

At the last meeting of the French Scientific society I publicly advanced the tttory that a mans hair would grow bet Ger if it were never cut My audience listened with strained, though polite, ears, and I could see that my remarks were not in sympathy with the theories Of any one present. indeed, they were at total va liance with all the treatises upon the cul- tivation Of the hair which have been writ ten up to this time.
 Yet maintained, and still do maintain, that mans hair whether upon his head, his lip or his chin, will grow longer and

fer than of lawn grass-because they are

fer than of lawn grass-because they are net cut.
 Do not misunderstood me. I do most earnestly advocate the cutting of mans hair when it needs it, namely, when 1t is too long to De conventional. The little boy should wear his hair in long curls un- til he is big lad, and the little girls need scarcely have her hair cut until she is fif- teen, unless 1t grows below her waist line, which is too long for comfort.
 By way of experiment a hermit in the Alps was persuaded to allow his hair to grow When discovered it was five feet long and fed not been cut in twelve years, q growth of nearly foot a year. Visiting him five years later the growth had in creased to seven feet, and her let down ir;tiei behind him cn the ground. He had then reached the advanced age of sixty years and we lost sight of him, though it Is dcubtft. If the bajr would have contin- ued to grow at so rapid a rate.
 Scientists estimate that if a mans hair were never cut it would grow in a lifetime

of seventy years to a length of sixty feet, five feet growing in three years between the ages of twelve and fifteen. The beard would be thirty feet long, and the finger nails if never cut would grow to a length of thirty-four feet.
 My scientific brethren finally agreed with me that there was no logical reason why cutting would improve the hair and the subject is now being investigated by them. It may result in letting the hair grow where there is a natural tendency to bald- ness inherited from father to son. Weak hair can be inherited like weak lungs.
 You will want me to say something about my system of hair transpantation. I can only say that have tried 1t successfully in three cases two in Paris and one in Ber- lin. My method was simple. Cutting a small lock of hair from the patients head I clipped the hair at both ends and laid 1t aside. I next pricked the bald place with many pointed instrument containing a great number of sharp needles Work ing quickly and with apparatus invented by myself I inserted the hair into the open places and had the great satisfaction to find a week later that many of the hairs had taken root It was a very tedious op- eration and a very expensive one, and one which would not advise unless the bald ness is noticeable.

be thicker.
 Now my theory is~that hair grows from the roots and net from the ends, and that no matter how often youScut the ends 1t will not affect the roots unless you cut the hair so close as to injure the roots, which is generally the case. If had child with thin hair, instead of clipping its hair l should apply oils and keep the scalp in such good condition that the hair would grow upon it like grass in a fertile field.
 And speaking of grass carries me to a similar subject. Grass grows no thicker nor better from being moved. The lawn mower makes the lawn more slightly and more like velvet, but you will find that the roots of field grass are stronger and heav-

Many Lives Lost I'm n Collision of
Passenger Trains.

Reading, Pa, May IA collision of
passenger trains occurred on the Phil
adelphia & Reading railroad ut Exc
ter, about six miles south Of this city,
last night, and a great number of peo-
pie We're killed and injured. There is
no telegraph office at Exeter and de-
tails, therefore, are difficult to obtain
at this writing. The number killed
will probably reach thirty. Fully fifty
others are injured. Twenty eight
bodies have been brought here. The
regular express train from Pottsville
for Philadelphia. connected at the sta
ton in Reading with n train from Har-
risburg which was crowded with eX-
cursionists who had been to the state
capitol to witness the ceremonies in
connection with the unwilling of the
Hartranft monument. Many of the
Harrisburg passengers at Reading
went aboard the Philadelphia ex-
press, but, it being found that all
could not be accommodated, it was
decided to send an extra train to Phil
adelphia TO run as the second section
of the express. The extra train left
twenty minutes later than the express.
At Exeter the express stopped for or
defs, and while standing still the extra
train, while moving at great speed,
crashed into 1t. Three of the rear cars
of the express We're telescoped and
the first car of the extra train was
also wrecked. The passengers in these
ears were terribly mangled, many be-
ing killed outright, while others had
limbs and bodies manned. Word was
at once sent TO Reading and special
train with physicians and nurses was
sent to the scene rs quickly as it could
possibly be put in readiness.

Washington, May 13.-Gen. Otis has
practically completed preparations for
a movement, which, if successful, will
be the master stroke of the campaign
against the insurgents. Reinforce
ments have been sent to Gen. MacAr-
thur, who is disposing his troops, and
Gen. Lawton has moved his column
from Balnag and Maasin to strate-
gic position. The whole purpose Of
these movements is to surround the
1000 insurgents believed to be in
trenched at Bacolor, crush the organ
lied forces and make prisoners of all
who are not killed in battle. Bacolor
Is southwest of San Fernando by q
wagon road. Macarthur is expected
to send column to the west of Ba-
Color retaining his main position on
the north, and Gen. Lawton is be-
lieved to have moved his column SO as
TO protect communication with Manila
and at the same time flank the in
surgents at Bacolor on the east. Gen.
Luna's force, which was last reported
at Modico, can be taken care of, it is
thought by a few troops, making a
demonstration in their front. 1t is be-
cause of the necessity of having a
strong force for this present move
ment that Gen. Otis has not withdrawn
the volunteers from MacArturs and
Lawton's commands preparatory to
shipping them home. An encouraging
feature of the present movement is the
fact that the southwark of Bacolor is
the Maccabebe country, whose inhab-
itants are friendly to the Americans,
and the Rio Grande river, upon which
are a number OF army gunboats which
will be useful in maintaining communl-
cations and at the same time attacking
my insurgent bodies that may come
within range of their guns.
