BEST TIME AND COUNTRY.

"Thc bcst time TO he boy the world has ever
known is just this time-iust at the outstart OF
a great, vigorous, forceful, wisdomloying CEN
tury," writes Dr. David Starr Jordan, President
OF the Leland stanford, Jr,, university, in the
saturday Evening Post "And just the best
place to be a boy is right here in the United
states, the one part of the earth where a boy
can grow mp with a reasonable chance OF making
the most Of himself America means oppor-
,uuity.' says Emerson, and to the right kind OF

moment of the time. The Schmidts
summoned DR.. Fowler again and told
him that they left the case entirely
in his hands and authorized him to
call in consultation whoever he might
desire.
DR.. Fowler sent for DR.. Able because
of his experience in the Duryea case
and one or two similar cases, which
had called for the closest possible study
of the vertebrae. DR.. Dana was asked
to make the location for the operation.
Mr.. Schmidts family was told that
the surgeons in asking permission to
perform the operation made no prom
ises whatever. They simply felt that
there was hope for lettering the pa
tents condition without an operation
They desired the family to understand
fully that the patient might and very
likely would die on the operating table;
and Furthermore that even if he sur
Vived the operation, it might turn out
that nothing had been accomplished by
it. Mr.. Schmidt himself was very anX-
ious to have the operation go on as soon
as possible.
The location of the Inflammation as
esta blished by DIR. Dana was found to
be correct to within half an inch a.
either end of the tumor. The tumor
was found to extend through the three
lower cervical vertebrae, and the three
upper dorsal vertebrae. 1t was re-
moved. 1t will be impossible for the
physicians to tell for some time
whether the spinal cord has been too
much injured by the tumor for recov-
cry but at any rate there has been a
great lessening of the pain which the
! young man has suffered and there has
been some relaxation of the contracted
muscles.
DR.. Abbe's operation on Walter
Duryea attracted wide attention. Mr..
| Duryea. diving i'm shallow water, struck
| his head with such force on the bottom
| that his neck was broken. DR.. Able
| removed the splintered Vertebrae, and
so adjusted the spinal column that the
| patient is thought to be well on the
way to complete recovery. one OF the
physicians connected with the case
said last night that IL the Schmidt op-
GRAFTON resulted in the recovery of the
patient that it would be as remarkable
an operation as was the removal of the
stomach when it was first performed.

HEIRS TO MILLIONS.
Young Men Who Will Inherit Great
Fortunes and Cares.

From the New YORK journal
John D. Rockefeller, i"., is heir to
more millions than any other young
man in the country today. He is not
yet 25, and his whole life has been a
preparation for the enormous task of
caring for the estate.
Young Alfred Vanderbilt, who in
herited the bulk of his fathers for
tune over his brother Cornelius, be-
cause the latter's marriage did not
suit his father, is 23. He has gradu-
ated from college and has seen a
great deal of social life.
William X. Vanderbilt, jr, will new

Another prospective millionaire

Long words.

An English critic, A T. Vance, has
called the scientists TO account for tsing
long words which are uninteIligible to the
average mind. Mr.. Vance was moved to
this protest by reading an article in which
he found the word -'idiodactylae." When
he looked for the meaning of the word he
found that it was ''a phalanx of coliomor-
phic oscine birds" In another article, in
tended for amateur students of botany, he
read that "all the nulticellular organisms
propagate themselves not exclusively by
fission or gemmation. but by sexual fer
tilizatioa." He tried the experiment OF
transIating this, and came to the conclu-
sion that the meaning would be quite as
well expressed By saying that "the higher
plants multiply not only by divisions end
buds. but by seed" He pleads, therefore,
for simple language in scientific works in
tended for people who are not trained
scientists and do not wish to keep a die
tiouary at hand for purposes of transla-
ton
There is some reason for this protest,
though there is also a good reason for the
system of which the critic complains The
English language was not primarily con-
structed 10 be vehicle of scientific
thought, and its defects, from the point
of view of a writer on this subject, are
numerous. AS most people know, for
many centuries all works On botany,
chemistry, medicine and even geography
and travel, were written in Latin, which
formed the common language of scien-
tihe men throughout Europe. while the
various tongues of Europe aE1 the British
Isles remained the medium Tor the poet
and the romance writer of each country
Hence English scientists, instead Of max
ing new scientific words in their own Ian
guage, wrote in Latin, and asterward,
when they came to write in English, used
Latin derivatiyes-the "long words CT
which Mr.. Vance complains. In Germany,
on the contrary, German derivatives we're
more generally used in works of science.
and in any scientific book written in that
language one may find pxysyllabIc cen

TRAIN HITS A TROLLEY CAR.
Rear Platform Carried Away, But
Passengers Escape Injury.

NEW YORK. Nov. Flushing along at
great speed, an express train Of the New
York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad
struck a disabled trolley car at the cross
ing at Homestead. n. J., Monday night. and
although the rear platform of the trolley
car was demolished, the train went on its
way as if nothing had happened. Fortu-
nately, the few passengers on the trolley
car were at the forward end, and, beyond
a severe shaking up, they escaped injury.
The car, which is No "a of the Jersey
City, Paterson and Rutherford Railroad
Company, had been thrown from the rails
by several stones which were placed at the
crossing 1t had almost cleared the tracks
of the steam railroad, and the motorInan
and conductor were trying to replace 1t,
when the express came along. The engine
driver did not see the disabled vehicle, as
its lights were not burning and the train
crashed into the rear platform.
At the same crossing there was a some
what similar accident about two years ago,
when three lives were lost.

EXHIBITION FOR FRENcHMEN.
The Officers of Foreign Cruisers En-
tertained at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. Nov. An exhibition was
given yesterday by the Baltimore freboat
Cataract for the benefit of the officers and
men on board the French cruisers. The
officers and men had never seen fire
boat at work before. and they enjoyed the
exhibition and applauded the firemen when
the stream reached its highest point.
In appreciation of the exhibition the
cruisers dipped their coIoTs and the Gaia
ract responded. The Cataract left head
quarters about $50 a. N. and steamed TO
Bowley's wharf where it took on board
Mayor Hayes. Chief McAfee, Of the fire de-
partment; Lieutenant Biard. of the French
cruiser Cecille; Commissioner Catheart, and
Consul Leu9ole.
The exhibition was given N the space
between the two cruisers. The firemen first
threw four one and three-eighths inch
streams from the rail pipes, then a two
and one-half inch stream from the bow
pipe, and also three-inch stream from the
bow pipe, one and three-quarter inch
stream from the two monitor pipes. end
finally a stream of four inches was thrown
from the great pipe 275 feet in the air.

But it is not impossible that men may
become so wise regarding the forces at
work in society that they will be able to
avert many disasters through their knowl
edge of danger and determination to Sc
cure the safety of the Commonwealth. just
as the Weather Bureau can predict a
storm in time for the people to protect
themselves against that.
This is certain: There are certain prin-
ciples governing human relations which
cannot be violated with impunity, and
when they are violated there is always
reckoning sooner or later-generally rath-
er sooner than it is expected In human
life it is the impossible which happens.
On the eve of the war between the States
men were still declaring that nothing but
a peaceful settlement was possible.
