THE RULE OF COMPENSATION.

The rule of compensation in all
things has a striking illustration in
the case of Wilmington, N. G. Steadily
within the last few years the naval
stores exports through that port have
declined as the neighboring forests
have been worked out. Now Whining
ton is rapidly forging ahead as a to-
bacco mart. For the year ended Sep
TENDER 80 more than $4,000, 900 pounds
of leaf tobacco were sold there, and it
is believed that the sales during the
coming year will reach 20,00O,0 900
pounds. During the year just closed
also 16,639,942 pounds of manufactured
tobacco were shipped. Truly, Will

HORSES AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
Writer Sees How Many Human Ills
May Pass With the Horse

1t is evident that the present move
ment in automobilism will soon bring
us to practically horseless era in our
cities. 1t is interesting, therefore,
to anticipate some of the effects on the
ipublic health of large centers of popu-
lation that the absence of the horse is
sure to have. The sanitary benefits
that will accrue from his removal
though entirely unlocked for by most
people, are rather easy to foresee. OF
themselves these prospective sanitary
advantages are enough to make the
coming of the horseless era a boon
and it is surprising that the advocates
of automobiles have not made more of
this telling point in their favor. For
one thing, the absence of the horse
will probably entail the absolute era
diction of tetanus-lockjaw, as it is
commonly called-from our cities, at
least.
In our cities the absence of the horse
would practically do away with all
danger from the tetanus bacillus. 1t
would render unnecessary the importa-
ton of farm products, like the grasses
on which the tetanus germ fourishes
! by preference; and it would do away
with the breeding places of the bacilli
| in our cities--namely: the warm
moist droppings of the horse, in which
they find an abundance of organic ma
terial for their nutrition and the neces-
sary absence of air.
tot
diseases which can be traced directly
to the horse, but which are only COM
lmunicated by actual contact with the
animal. Actinomycosis, as epizootic
are common to men and horses. Were
horses done away with in our cities
there would come, as a direct result, at
least marked reduction in the num-
Der of cases of typhoid fever Sup
puration in wounds and the supurative
infections would become less common.
and the number and severity of intes-
final diseases, especially those of the
choleric type, so common in our cities
| in the summer time, would be greatly
| diminished
Whatever can be done therefore. to
advance the day that will usher in the
horseless era for our city streets, will
be just so much done in great HUI
manitarian cause. IL Will lead to a
distinct lessening of human suffering.
as well be it said parenthetically. to a
most welcome diminution of animal
suffering, and will prove another link
in the chain of sanitary improvements
that in our day is frightening the
average of human life so notably and
making ii ever more anu more iiveabie
because more healthy.-Dr. J. ]. Walsh

INCREASED COST OF BLASTING.

One of the things that astonish
strangers who visit New York is the
operation of blasting which is fire.
quently to be seen in the heart of the
city. In this respect New York differs
from many cities, where it is only nee
essary to dig into the soil, cart the
dirt away and then place the founda-
ton stones. Here, however, the some
what paradoxical process of removing
stone before putting stone down is
gone through with. The work is not
confined to any particular region, and
the booming of dynamite is quite as
familiar to the persons who live in
Fifth avenue as to those who abide in
Harlem. There are at present several
large blasting operations in process in
! upper Broadway and Fifth avenue.
Andrew Carnegie's new home, at Fifth
| avenue and NInety-second street, great
lodges of rock had to be removed, and
the work employed the combined eff
forts of many men, steam drills and
dynamite in great quantities. The
work of blasting is carried on by con-
tractors. The price at present aver
ages about 81 cubic yard, and.
| though it is apparently an expensive
operation, the great value of Manhat-
tan land makes it well worth while.
The price for doing the work is about
twice as great now as it was a few
years ago. Contractors say that the
reason for this is the increased risk
caused by the large amount of build
ing that has been done. Formerly for
instance, before much land in Harlem
had been built on, the dynamite could
be discharged without fear of damage
TO the surrounding property. Now
however, there is always some risk
that damage Will result, for which the
contractor will be held liable. The
chlet danger is not, as is generally
supposed from flying rocks. That dam
ger IN TACT, is done away with bv a
law which coppels contractors to coy
er the charge with heavy logs chained
together, so that the fragments of rock
! cannot be hurled about. The risl,
comes from the conclusion caused nv

SAID TO BE ALUM POISONING.
Serious Cases of Illness Reported from
Use of Impure Baking Powder.

The poisoning of the Thomas fam
| lily, of Thomas Mill, Somerset Co.,
four members of which were reported
4 to have been made dangerously i'll by
impure baking powder used in mixing
buckwheat cakes, has been further
Investigated.
The original can with the remain
der of the baking powder left over
after mixing the cakes was secured
by DR.. Critchfield. The powder had
been bought at a ncighboring country
store, and was one of the low priced
brands.
DR.. Critchfield said that the pa
TENTS had the symptoms of alum
poisoning. AS the same kind of bak-
ing powder is sold in many city gro
ceries, as well as country stores, DR..
Critchfield thought it important that
a chemical examination should be
made to determine its ingredients.
He therefore transferred the package
of powder to Dr. Schill of this city,
for analysis. DR.. Schill's report is as
follows:
| certify that l have examined
chemically the sample of bak-
ing powder forwarded to me by DR.
Critchfield. The specimen contained
alum. Dr. Francis Schill, Jr., Analyst

AUTOMOBILE PAST AND PRESENT

There is an interesting paper in the
Automobile Magazine, a new maya
zine issued in the interest of the new
motor cycle, on The Genesis of the
Automobile" by John Grand Carteret,
who goes back to the scythe-equipped
cars which were started down hills or
mountains. to rush. by their own mo-
mentum, upon Alexander's conquering
army in Persia, and the ancient Swiss
sickle wagons. which were pushed
down mountain sides The first
! steam-propelled vehicle appeared
! in 1905, the invention of Mich
olas-Joseph Cugnot. and in 1870 Il
steam carriage was constructed by Dol
/ lery, which foreshadowed the locomo-
! tive Of today. Oliver Evans. an Amer
/ lean, invented a steam carriage in 1900.
and later Robert Dudgeon built a
| steam wagon which he used in his
business in Long Island. Then fol
lowed many other devices, which the
development of the railways put a stop
to, Mr.. Carteret takes very saneuine
view of the future of the AUTOMOBILES
He naturally looks for great stimu-
lus in the construction of good roads
which are essential TO automobile trav.

TEA FLAVOR INJURED AT SEA.
Consequently Russian Epicures Have
Their Supply Brought Overland.

Russian tea traders have received
news that the great caravans will
shortly start on their long journey
across Siberia. Within recent years
much of the tea consumed in Russia
has made the sea voyage from Chinese
ports to Odessa on the Black sea, but
Russians say that tea transported by
sea loses much in flavor and quality.
In consequence of this the largest tea
merchants continue to receive the bulk
of their stock by the overland route.
Early in January the caravans ar
rive in Tomsk. Between the LIST and
the Goth of the month 10000 sledges
full of tea are expected, each sledge
containing five packages of about $50
pounds each. The tea is not packed
in cases, but in stiffened OK hides.
Five sledges are tied together and
drawn by one horse. The last sledge
Of each group contains hay and barley,
which the horse of the next group
quietly munches as he travels. In con-
sequence of this arrangement the car
avans lose no time. The first horse
only, who does not feed as he walks, is
changed ia the villages along the road,
but as villages are rarely met it often
happens that the horses collapse from
overfatisue.
The leaders of the caravan. usually
Kirghiz, sleep in the sledges, although
the thermometer is often 40 degrees
below freezing point. From the Chinese
tea-growing districts to Tomsk is a
years journey by caravan.
