1t required 81 years of hard work
to measure across the continent the
arc of the thirty-ninth parallel of lat
itude. The length of the arc is 2,625
miles, and it passes through 16 states.
Work on the geodetic triangulation
to measure the arc was begun in
1872. and the results have just been
published. AS the establishment of
this base line permits the verification
of all previous surveys of our terri
tory, it is probably worth all the time
spent on it.

DIR. William Tod Helmuth in a recent
lecture in New York city predicted
the rapid passing of the family doctor
and the distribution of the latter's
multifarious functions among special
lists. The family doctor, however, has
held his own way for many centuries
and is not likely to have his obituary
written by the specialists for at least
a good many decades to come. Doubt
less the latter would be glad to per-
form that last Office for him, but they
are likely to die themselves too soon
to write the chic jacet" on the tomb
stone of the family doctor.

1T. SH HERMAN HOLCOMB,

The untimely death of H. Sherman Holcomb removes a man who was do- ing a good citizens work in a quiet but efficient way. AS Fire commissioner he stood, and stood strongly and persist ently, for sound principles in the ad- lninistration of one of the most impor- tant departments of the city govern ment. As business man he was sue cessful by reason of ability, enterprise and honesty. He was steady, upright ard reliable in all the relations of life, He had many friends and showed him self friendly. He enjoyed life, and took a hearty and kindly interest in all that concerned the progress of the world and the welfare of his fellow beings. He was uncommonly pleasant and cheerful in his association with others and he will be long missed by many who knew and appreciated his good qualities.

Fl FLIP WANTED.

The officials of the Buffalo Exposition Company want help from congress to clear off the burden of debt left upon the big show. They want at least $1,- 900, ,0OO They tell tale of woe. The exposition was barely at an end before there came a deluge of bills. The deficit was found to amount to more than $1,- 800, ,000 and the patriotic citizens of the city who subscribed to the show in the beginning were called on to contribute again The principal asset of the com pany was the exposition buildings. and arrangements were made to sell them. A Chicago establishment offered $93, 900 for the buildings, and the deal was closed The creditors of the company heard of the affair and quickly filed liens on the buildings. with the result that the wrecking company refused to pay over any money until the company moved the membranes from the ex- position structures. This precipitated a warfare between the exposition off, cials and the creditors, with the result that theNsheriff of Buffalo is in control of what little property the company owns, and there is no prospect of the creditors getting their money. Consid- erable ill feeling Is said to exist be- tween the exposition officials and the men who hold mortgages on the expo- sition buildings, but the rich Buffalo citizens are anxious to have the matter strengthened out.
 Perhaps the Buffalo men will get some of the surplus, and perhaps if they do their success will not be an un mixed good. The United States can go too deeply into the exposition business, and it may not be wise to encourage the promoters of expositions to think that if their shows don't pay the United States will,
