EARTH is GETTING SMALLER.
At Least ITS Peoples Are Coming Closer
Together Every Day.


From the st. Louis democrat:
One of the wonders of this marvellous
age is the rapidity with which the re-
mote quarters of the earth are being
brought close together. According to
the Russian minister Of railroad, when
Russia's new trans Siberian railroad is
finished the trip around the world can
be male in thirty-three days. When
Jules Verne, just twenty-five years
ago. sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg
around the world in eighty days this
exploit was deemed to be as near the
absolutely impossible as at one time
Puck's feat was of putting a girdle
round about the earth in forty min
Utes. Two American women travel
ing in opposite directions, beat Foggs
mythical exploit few years ago.
When the Russian railroad is built,
however, the record of their journeys
will. in the comparison, seem like the
old stage coach and sailing vessel tray-
els do today. With what incredibly
would the navigators of a century ago
have looked at the forthcoming Rus
sian time table. The remnant Of the
fleet with which Magellan left San Lu-
car. in Spain, in 1913, returned to that
port in 1922. Three years, lacking two
weeks were required for the circum-
navigation OF the earth. The first of
the British world eirelers. Drake. who
sailed halY a century later, was as long
making the distance Cook, who made
the journey q century later than Drake
was two years ten months on the yoy-
age. n the century and half be-
tween Magellan and Cook the time Of
the world circuit has been shortened in
only an impereeDtible degree.. There
had been but little Improvement In the
speed of the ocean vessels since the
days when Odysseus in his shallop, at
ter the Trojan war. started On his re
turn to Ithica No Improvement Of
consequence. indeed. was made until
the days when steam began to be APP
piled TO ocean navigation and that was
at such a comparatively recent date
that on May q. 1878, the day on which
Victoria was born. the first steamboat
which ever crossed the Atlantic start
ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool,
and taking twenty-six days to make
the voyage, which would now be made
IN less than six.

HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of Turkish
Physician.



A Turkish physician has been ex-
perimentjng successfully on the trans
planting of hairs one by one to bald
parts Of the scalp His results seem
to show that there is no impossibility
in the complete renewal of a lost head
of hair by this means. The physician.
DR.. Menahem Hodara, according to a
foreign paper, tried his experiments
in the case of a disease that had re-
moved part of his patients hair. His
plan was to scarify the bare surface
and to implant thereon hairs removed
from ether parts of the patients head,
The hairs used for the purpose were
trimmed with scissors at each end.
Some four weeks after implantation
certain number of the hairs were
found to have taken root, and in no
long time a goodly new crop was pro-
duced Encouraged by these results,
DR.. Hodara has since applied the
method IN other cases of badness fol-
lowing fayus, and he thinks himself
justified in stating that "clinically
curious faet-that small bundles of
hair stems cut with scissors and inn
planted in the incisions made with the
scarifier can take root and grow, form
ing in time long and visible hairs"
BY microscopic examination he has
satisfied himself that after some weeks
real new bulb forms at the lower
end O. the implanted hair. DR.. Hoda-
ra,s results are interesting in them
selves. and still more in the promise
which they appear to offer of further
results. undreamed Of, or at any rate
unmentioned, by the ingenious expert

Herald. should not the same treatment
be applied in cases Of ordinary bald

submit to have their scalps pIowed
and afterward sowa with new hairs if
there was reasonable hope Of even
a moderate harvest.

coupled to each other and to a slender
tube that feeds the engine. BY means
which Mr.. Gibson does not yet describe,
the fluid is vaporized and expanded in
the cylinders. working pressure of
from 1000 pounds upward is thus made
available. The crank transmits its mo-
tiop by sprocket and chain to the rear

mediate shaft or gear. The sprocket on
the crank shaft has nine teeth, and that

Mr. Gibson is able 10 run his wagon up

New Jersey is famous. and believes he
can go where no gasoline motor can
follow He takes his wagon through
deep, dry sand, too, where it would BE-
almost impossible to take any other
self-propelled carriage. Without the
carboute acid TASKS and engine the
carriage which he showed to a report

4o0 pounds. The TASKS. contents and

IKE the Money Question.

A story is told of young man in
England, a great chess enthusiast, who
was so annoyed at his failure to solve
an apparently simple problem that he
vowed he would neither sleep nor eat
until the solution was found He shut
himself up in disused room and was
found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of his mind.
He spent a year in lunatic asylum as
the result Of his rash vow, and the
problem remains unsolyed.

last national campaign, and it was due
largely to his management that the
state was carried for President Mckin-
ley. 1t was during the national cam
paign that Mr.. Ferry's name was first
mentioned as possible candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination. In 1898
his friends urged him to make the race
against Gov. Pingree. He refused to dc
so and his name was withdrawn.
Mr.. Ferry was born at Loweville, N.
y, August s, 1888. His ancestors came
to this country in 1878 and settled in
the Massachusetts, colony. When young
Ferry reached the age of 16 family re-
verses compelled him to shift for him
self, and he worked for a time as a
farm hand. He was ambitious, and man.
aged to attend the district schools DUR
ing the winter terms. When still boy
he had absorbed all tlat the teachers of
the district schools were able to give.
He took position in Rochester mainly
for the educational advantages offered.
Mr.. Ferry came to Detroit in 1852.
He worked for a time for S. D. Elwood
and managed to save a little money out
of very meager salary. He formed a
partnership with M. Z. Gardner in the
seed business in 1856. The firm contin-
ued in business for many years, and
eventually Mr.. Gardner's interests were
secured and the present firm of D. NJ
Ferry & Co. was organized. Mr. Ferry's
judgment and financial aid have been
utilized in forming many of the leading
enterprises of the city. Among them
may be mentioned the National Pin
company, the Detroit Copper Rolling
Mill company and the Gale Julky Plow
company.
Mr.. Ferry was married to Miss Addie
j.. Miller, of Unadilla, N. Y, in 1867, and
they have four children. In social life
