National Educational Association.

The thirty sixth annual meeting Of
this great educational gathering will
convene in Los Angeles, California
July lila inclusive. A distinguish
ed President of this Association once
said There is but one Chicago; the
answer truthfully and in a higher
degree may be given; there is but one
Los Angeles; there is but one Pacific
Coast; there is but one California.
The object of this communication is
to bring before the Teachers, the
Educators, the Tourists, the .adyan-
tage of this trip. As means of in
.struction, the advantages are two
fold. First: For the seeker Of know
ledge better method; in school work
there are offered fifteen distinct de-
partments. These departments have
their separate halls for meetings, each
teacher or visitor can select that sub
ject upon which he wishes instruc-
ton and apply his time to it.
Los Angeles is the loveliest city on
the continent. Her hotels are better
than the Association has ever enjoyed
at reasonable rates the most reason
able, considering their services. The
street car ride a halliday will take
one through Pasadena to Mt. Lowo-
which rivals Mt. Was hington and
Pixies Peak, and view with Mt. Will
lard, Mt. Royal, and Lookout
Mountain. If one goes to Los Ange-
les he is sure to go to San Franscisco,
but many go to San Francisco who
do not see Southern California. No
one should cross the continent with
out seeing the coast from Los Ange-
les to Seatil.
The accustomed one fareplus $500
has been arranged and will be from
Texas points about $500. The
Texas & Pacific Railroad is one Of
the very longest linked in the shortest
route from cities East and West of
the lower Mississippi to Los Angeles.

A BUSINESS CHANCE

The business men of Carson met
last evening to consider in reality the
future of this city. The men who
have business interests at stake were
there, and although many of them
remain silent they evidently felt the
weight of subject before them as they
naid strict attention to the matter
discussed
The meeting was called for the
purpose of forming a Chamber of
Commerce to further their business
and keep what ira lie there is IN this
section within Carson, 1t is strictly
a business proposition and the trads-
men of this city are awakening to
the fact that they have lost trade and
business prestage by allowing trade
that naturally belonged to them to
DRIFT to other towns. 1t locks like a
move III the right direction, this move
of last evening, and these men who
have made business a success
can with proper attention make this
new scheme a winner if they give il
their combined efforts.
There is a big country on all sides
OF us and every day produce is ship.
ped by this point that would bring
big profits to our home merchants
were they in a position to take the
matter in hand. A Chamber OF Com
merce could handle articles that al
individual cannot touch, and the
sooner the Carson business get il
line and fight for what naturally
belongs to them the sooner will they
reap their harvest. One man Can
not do this alone, but the combinet
efforts Of all will soon make a big
showing.
II is to be hoped that the meeting
Of last night will result IN the for
nation of a body that will bene eff

d Man Who Has Fallen 4
Heir to $50, 100000. 4
BY
Francis Talbert

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who Sas n
herited the bulk Of the great Nanderb1f
fortune and who is therefore to be COZ
sidered the head sof that multimiItenalre
family, Is by no means IN extraordinary
person either In appearance or character.
He Is a modest appearing, quiet, larry
good looking young man Of 2.
Thus far he has lone nothing unusuat
and has given no evidences Of uncemmon
ability or brilIiancy, but be seems to pc
sensible and level beaded. Those who
know him best say he viii do credit to
the name of Vanderbilt In the position Of
responsibility fl which he has been pl1c-
ed by a series Of unexpected circun1-
stances.
Al few years ago the prospects OF Al
fred Vanderbilt were very. different. Then
he Yves the third son. He expected e in
herit about $10,000,000 and spend the
rest Of his life somewhat subject to !
advice of his elder brothers. But his ed
est brother died, and Cornelius who
came next, quarreled with his father, be-
ing sighted in the will as q conseauaHce.
Now young Alfred Vanderbilt finds hl1n<
self the possessor Of . fortune Of 500
100000 and the head OF a great and
powerful family.
Thus far the most notable features Of
his life concern his college career rs
graduated from Yale only last June.
While there be had an opportunity % re-
veal his character. tastes and disposition
but he did this only to a few. He had
fewer acquaintances than almost any
other undergraduate. He went through
college with less fuss than the son Of any
other rich man in many years,
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt. entered Yale IN
October, 1894, and roomed during bis
first term at the university With hrs
brother Cornelius. The boys occupied
three rooms over the arch IN Vanderbilt
hall, built By their father and mother n

ceased.
During his freshman year Alfred. made
few acquaintance. He vas Of q very
quiet, u~nobtrusiye nature. he didn't rQ1
or run or play football or golf or tennis,
nor did he sing or possess any other &C.
co~mplishment to attract attention. He

sprinkled with gray, and with agreeable
manners and marked vivacity If not bril-
liancy.
Possessed Of ample means, d ready wit,
great Conversations powers, a thorough
knowledge of society and society persons,
a grasp on politics and public questions,
she is regarded as an ideal wife for the
admiral.
She has a flow of spirits and a keen
sense Of the iudicrous and is said to be at
her best when telling a humorous story.
The friends of both say it is Mrs. Ha-
zen's jolly disposition that has been the
particular attraction for the admiral, who
enjoys wit aud humor in others hugely
and cracks his own little joke in company
quite early as an indication of the strain
in which he would like to see the con-
versation conducted.
Mrs. Hazen bears a striking resem-
blance to her sister, the wife Of Captain
Nicoll Ludlow of the navy, to whom she
was married in 1898. her first husband
having been Frederick Bugher. The sis
tiers have been quite prominent in Wash
ington society, and perhaps because Of
their wealth. which they inherited from
their father, they have been reported as
being engaged to almost every eligible
bachelor who has appeared on the carpet.

room, you will observe that red is at one
end Of the ribbon Of colors thus formed
and violet at the other end. Now, down
toward the red are the heat rays, while
the chemical rays, such as those which
affect Photographic plates, are in the vio-
let and its neighborhood. These chemical
rays Of the violet and blue are the mes
that kill bacteria, and in the instruments
devised by DR.. Finsen for this purpose
they are separated out and fred at the
disease germs In the skin. He calls them
sbaetericidal rays" and in applying them
to a patient he concentrates them By
means presently to be described.
DIR. Finsen's first experiments were
made with the so called bacillus prodigio-
sus, which is a remarkably interesting
kind of germ.
DR.. Finsen took some of these baciEi
that were growing in a sterilized prepa-
ration Of japanese. fish glue and spread
the latter thinly between two sheets of
glass. Thus he made what is called a
plate culture and exposed it to the d.
rect rays of the sun In an hour and a
half all Of the germs, each one capable
Of producing a full blown miracle, were
dead, but it was obvious that the action
was too slow and weak. Otherwise it
might be expected hat some forms of
badness and all bacterial skin troubles
would cure themselves in summer simply
through exposure to sunshine. 1t having
been ascertained that the blue and violet
rays were the ones that did the business,
the problem was merely to separate those
out OF the sunbeam and concentrate them
upon the bald or otherwise diseased areas
of the sufferers cuticle. Means were
found for making this chemical beam
very powerful.
Another fact ascertained had reference
to the power of these violet and / rays
to penetrate the skin, a most important
point. inasmuch as the disease making or
baldness producing germs do not lie on
the surface, but are buried at q greater
or less depth IN the cuticle. To get at
them and kill them the rays must pierce
the tissue. This matter was satisfactory
" determined by q series of experiments
with dogs and cats, beneath whose skins
were inserted sealed glass tubes lille
with muriate Of silver. Some of the ami
mails were then placed In darkness, while
others were exposed to sunlight, the re-
suit being that when the tubes were re-
moved later the solution was found to
have turned black in the latter cases and
to have remained unaltered In the for
mer. In a word, it was proved that the
chemical rays made their a. actually
through the hides Of the beasts, affecting
the silver salts.
