idea that tuberculdr germs in a COW could
anect a person, that by order OF the gov
eminent, thousands of heads of cattle
thus affected have from time to time
been killed, in order that tho disease
might not be transmitted to persons
drinking their milk. According to Koch's
theories, these precautions were unnec-
essary and q waste Of really valuable
COW flesh.
Among those who doubted the truth Of
the German scientists assertion was
Dr.. George d. Barney Of Brooklyn. He
get out to demonstrate its accuracy or
falsity. as the case might prove to be.
Purchasing a healthy COW. he injected
q broth containing tubercle from O hui
pan being into the animal. The COW Is
now In the advanced stages Of the dis
ease. Having proved DR.. Koch's theory
would not work backward, his next
thought was to demonstrate that 1T was
not tenable as originally stated. At this
time he was treating Miss King for tom
silitis and, on n occasion, mentioned
the fact that he was looking for a subject
upon whom to make the experiment. Miss
King was much interested and when as
sured by the doctor that there was really
40 danger attached to the experiment she
offered herself for the test. For the in
lection DR.. Barney used the germs taken
from a mammary gland of the infected
COW, which he prepared in a solution.
Before the operation DIR. Barney request
ed Miss King to make a formal declara-
don Of her entire acquiescence, and the
young woman did SO, and insisted upon
adding a clause generating the physi-
clan In the event OF an unexpected de-
velopment.
Miss King said: 81 have contracted
tuberculosis, and that was exactly what
I expected to get when I first undertook
to help DR.. Barney with the experiment.
At first I thought l would not get con-
sumption. I felt cheerful, although I
did not feel well. / can't put into words
all the feelings I had, except to say that
after. the burning sensation and tinglins
passed away from the places where the
poison was injected it seemed just as il
a big icicle was gradually growing, grow
ing and spreading and aching down into
ay lungs. / am sure that I will be cur
ed. but for the benefit of any one else
who may ever essay II like experiment I
want to say that they should be very
sure Of their nerves before they under
take it,"

Big YEAR FOR TRAckAoE..
Roads Lay More than Five Thousand
Miles of Steel Rails.

Railroad building in the United States
during 1901 was greater than it has been
for eleven years previous, the total APP
proximating 6,O57 miles of line. In 1880
the tQtal. vas 5.6SO. andGin 1900 4,437
miles. The construction for the year,
added to the total mileage reported pre-
vious to that brings the total mileage
OF the country to approximately 1880
miles. These are the figures prepared
by the Railway Age after a painstaking
several months, aud may therefore be
BILE in such matters.
1t is noted that the Southwest takes
the palm for the year, that Texas leads,
with 5S3 miles Of new line, distributed
among twenty-three roads, and that the
Rock Island leads all others with the
longest single line Of 265 miles, to which
might well be added 1913 miles of the 81
Paso and Northeastern from Santa Rosa
to Carrizozo, N. NJ, which will soon be
completed. The Rock Island extension
proper extends from Liberal, Kan, to
Santa Rosa, N. NJ. Had it been posi-.
BILE to obtain rails ON all orders in shops
tho construction would have largely ex.
ceeded the figure.
In order that the new mileage of 1901
may be compared with the construction

While the volume of trade was not near
ly as large as during some weeks pre-
viously, orders came thick and fast in de-
partments where spring buying is usually
done some weeks later. There was a
trmness in quotations Indicative of a ris-
ing rather than a declining market, and
the conditions surrounding trade in all
its branches were more favorable, per-
haps, than during any former closing
week of a year. Never before have the
prospects for a large spring business been
more suspicious. This is indicated by
advance sales and also by the widespread
requests for early deliveries.
AS to grain prices, wheat is now at a
point where a few big traders seem in
clined to sell 1t on every bulge. The for
eign situation is fairly strong, and the
latest estimate Of German requirements
Is for 100000 bushels monthly. Sea-
board clearances continus close to the
level Of 100000 bushels weekly, which
are not enough to make foreign markets
weak, and their supplies are being close
" adjusted to requirements. In the soft
winter wheat markets there has been n
good milling demand at better than May
prices for the No. 2 red, and an indispo-
sition ON the part of farmers to sell,
which makes the movement light. In
Kansas soft wheat was selling a short
time ago at around G0c md is now bring

ROOSEVELT'S FRIENDS
Ways in Which They Make Life
Pleasant for the President

Waterbury American.
We have never had a president like
Roosevelt This Is said often, and Is true
in several respects. It is especially true
socially. He knows so many people in
other than political way. There is al
most no part of the country where he can
not 60 and find friends other than politi-
cal ones. If he goes on hunting expedi-
tion in the far west he finds college mates
to entertain him. If he comes to Farm
ington,t he finds relatives. If he stops at
New Haven he falls into group which
includes a rough rider or two. When he
comes over to New York he puts up with
his own people, and after dinner goes to
the Century Club and spends an evening,
as any member might.
What other president have we had who
was at home everywhere in such associa-
lions as these? Mr.. Mckinley, as the re-
suits of public experience Of twenty-five
years, knew men in all parts of the .coun-
try, but they were mostly politicians and
statesmen. If he went anywhere he was
entertained with more or less state stiff
ness and had little Of the freedom Of the
private citizen. There is no president we
have ever had who everywhere could find
the hospitality which is extended to TIE
man, and not the president, who, there
fore, could enjoy more or less social
privacy. and could conceal himself from
the exposure to which president Is sub
jected as President Roosevelt can.
