VIRGINIA'S NATURAL BRIDGE

The unsentimental hand Of business
is about to be laid upon Virginia's
wonder. the great Natural Bridge,
which will shortly pass into the hands
of a stock company by an agreement
with the heirs now in control of the
property. 1t is the purpose Of the COM
pany now being organized to build an
electric line from the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, two and one-fourth
miles away, and make other improve
ments" that will modernize this monu-
ment of nature.
Probably no other spot in America
is so Interestingly associated with the
early history of the republic. In the
office of register of lands of Virginia
may be seen the original grant from
George III, conveying the natural
bridge and surrounding acreage to
Thomas Jefferson, bearing date July 5,
1774. George evidently held his sub
iect in high esteem at that time, as is
evidenced by the terms of the grant,
the following being the first para

ware. The spittoons have a cone
shaped inner pan dipping into water
which contains in solution some ants
optic. There is also a cylinder which
can hold fourteen spittoons. Below
by means of a gas burner water is
warmed. There is a safety valve on
one side, a thermometer on the other,
and the steam generated d~isinfects the
contents. These are now used in
nearly all the hospitals, though but a
short time ago they were employed
only in case Of phthisis.
In another corner are samples of the
wheat, flour, etc., employed at the
municipal bakery where the bread for
ar the hospitals is made. Next to this
is a compartment which is fitted up
more like a small drawing room. This
contains exhibits from the archives of
the Public Assistance, a term which
comprises poor relief, hospitals and
asylums. Round this little drawing
room is all that relates to the care of
infants and little children, notably
those who are abandoned by their par
ents. There are models. of hospitals

vided for abandoned children is a col
lection of strange tokens left with the
children SO that they may ultimately
be recognized and reclaimed. Each
child must wear up to the age of s
years a bead necklace to which a small
medal is attached bearing a number.
This number corresponds with the en-
try made in the book that records all
that is known about the child. Then
come tables of the average number of
children abandoned at the Hospice des
Enfants Trouves in periods of five
years. The highest figure was $500,
and this dates back as far as the years
1770-74. In spite of the great increase
of population there were only 400
children thus abandoned from 1893 to
1897. During this century the maxi
mum was 1880 in 1875.
Models of the disinfecting stations
show how carefully the infected side
is separated from the other side, and
how the attendants purify their uni
forms, change all their clothes and
take a douche before they are allowed
| to go from one side to the other and

apparatus used for testing and analyz-
ing tea, coffee, chicory, milk, alcohol,
ETC., is displayed.
In another room are the exhibits OF
the municipal veterinary department,
with fine wax models of diseased meat,
many people and which prompted a
visitor to exclaim somewhat a%ppropr1-
ately, almost thou persuadest me to
become a vegetarian" Perhaps also as
a warning to the frequenters of cheap
restaurants who have a weakness for
civet de lapin, there are side by side
the skeletons of a rabbit and a cat.
With the exception of the heads the
likeness between the two suggests how
easy it would be to substitute the one
for the other. Another department
deals with the vegetable supply of
Paris, and maps show from what part
of the country the various vegetables
are obtained, with pictures of the
mushrooms that are ebidle and those
that are poisonous. The exhibit in
cludes the methods for detecting the
effects of poisonous alimentary sub
stances. Here as shown the appara-
tus devised by Professor Marcy to re-
cord cardiac movements and a pump
where a u is produced by a fall
of mercury, which is used to extract
gases from the blood. The adjoining
room is, allotted to the demography
of Paris, where the growth of the popu-
lation may be studied, and by it's side
is a large division containing every
sort of information, plans and draw
ings concerning the domains of the
town, its parks and gardens, it's dis
trict town halls, the lands which it
has bought in the provinces for asy-
lums, convalescent homes, etc.
Hospital Exhibit.
The next department though most
serious and technical, is arranged sc
that it does not fail to attract the gen
eral public and serves as a useful OBJ
ject lesson. 1t deals with the hospi-
tails, all of which, with a few ex-
ceptions, are under the management
of the municipality. Here is an old
fashioned four-posted bed, such as was
employed at the Hotel Dieu a hundred
years ago, and in which four patients
had to sleep. These patients are life
sized lay figures. Three are in bed
one with his head at the bottom of the
bed and his feet up by the faces Of the
other two patients. The fourth pa

The exhibit at the Paris fair of the
Paris municipality is full of interest,
and especially so is the showing of
the health department. The Paris
municipal laboratory is proud of it's
meteorological researches, and for this
purpose has a special department
called the s'Salle de Pasteur." 1t shows
photographs of colonies of the bacillus
coli and isolated bacilli, of the typhoid
apparatus, DR.. Roux's culture stove
and other aids to bacteriology. M.

samples of water. The bottle stands
ON a heavy slab of lead, to which it is
held by a brass frame, and can be used
without touching with the hand while
taking the sample. Further. all the

tient is sitting at the foot of the bed,
SO that the visitors may see the style
of clothes that used to be provided in
the hospitals.
By way of warming and ventilating
there is a huge ~earthenware and porta-
BILE receptacle that looks like an urn.
Inside of this some sort of smokeless
fuel, presumably charcoal, used to be
burned, and it was brought close to the
bed of the patients, thus helping still
further to poison the atmosphere.
The bed, bed table, chairs, etc., are of
wood. Immediately opposite is a mod

furniture such as are used now in the
hospitals. In no case is wood employ

The missionary and the Boxer"

While the Rev. |. T. Headland was
preaching at the street chapel in Pc
kin, half a dozen of the turbulent class
known as Boxers came into the chapel,
bent upon creating a disturbance.
They sat down in different parts of
the chapel. and after a short time
began talking aloud to each other
across the room. They were first told
kindly that this was contrary to the
customs of the Christians. To this
they paid no attention, but continued
to make remarks. They were then
told they must not do SO, but, contin-
uing their conversation, they were
asked either to cease talking or leave
the room. AS they went out one of
them reviled Mr.. Headland, his father,
his mother, and all his ancestors, and

Lord Roberts wrote his first dispatch

His immensely superior forces had
passed the Vsal river, their last great
obstacle, at three points.
The Vaal forms curve of eighty
miles on the west to Zand Drift

which the Beers could reinforce the
threatened points.
The Beers retreated almost without
