FROM LAKE TO SEA COAST.
Railroad as the Crow Flies from
Detroit to Charleston.

An air line from the great lakes to
the south Atlantic seahoard is made
possible by a deal which has been
practically consummated by the Un-
ion Trust Company of Baltimore.
,rhe Union Trust Company has just
completed arrangements to finance the
extension of the old Ohio River and
Charleston railroad from the coal fields
of West Virginia to Lincolnton, N. c.
1t has been decided also, it is under
stood, to extend this road northward
to Ironton, o., where it will connect
with the Detroit Southern. Samuel
Hunt, president of the latter road, is
also president of the company known
as the Southern and Western.
AT LincOlrton the road will! connect
with the Seaboard Air Line, with
which company close agreements for
the interchange of traffic have been
made.
The line will be the shortest from
the West Virginia coal fields to the
sea, and if the extension to Ironton is
built it will give the Seaboard an
independent short route to the great
lakes.

TO SURVEY GULF OF MEXICO.
Changes in Depth of Water Prob
able from Volcanic UpheavaIs.

Lieutenant Porter, in charge of the
New Orleans branch of the United
States photographic office, reported to
Washington that a recent survey of
the Gulf of Mexico, near the mouth Of
the Mississippi river, shows only 20
fathoms of water, where formerly
there were sixty fathoms at a previous
survey.
Many believe this was caused by the
recent volcanic upheavals, the result
OF earthquakes ia the West Indies or
was caused by deposit of salt from
the Mississippi river. The govern
ment has ordered a resurvey of the
entire Gulf of Mexico in order to as
certain if other changes have Occurr-
ed. The matter may prove to be Sc
rious one, as all previous calculations
may be upset by changes in the depth
of the water.

RISKS LIFE FOR SCIENCE.
Physician Continues to InOCulate
Himself With Germs.

DR.. Garnault of Paris, who on June
II inoculated himself with matter TAX
en- from a consumptive COW in order to
disprove Professor Koch's theory that
it was impossible for human beings to
catch tuberculosis from cattle, has
written to the Temps announcing that
the incubation has produced tubercu-
losis tumors. He says that man is
quite as susceptible to boyine tubercu-
losis as any other animal. He again
inoculated himself July Is by insert
ing under the skin of his left arm a
fragment of tubercular matter from
the liver of diseased COW.
The second incubation was perform
ed because he believed that the tuber-
culosis of the skin resulting from the
first would remain too long superficial.
The second form of incubation when
performed on a guinea pig invariably
causes death within eight weeks. This
will give an idea of the risks DR.. Gar
nault is running.

A SHORT SERMON.
Michigan ParsOn Makes a Record
for BriefnesS.

Probably the shortest summer SER
mon on record was preached the other
evening at .Hought0n, Mich, by the
Rev. Henry Gillingham. Two or three
members of his congregation request
ed him to "cut It short" on account
CT the heat, and the preacher resolved
to crafty their wishes. After a
brief preliminary service he arose and
said "Text, Luke 1924: And he
cried and said: Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and seLd Lazarus,
that he may dip the tip of his finger in
water and cool my tongue, for | am
tormented of the fame Three per-
sons, Abraham, Dives and Lazarus.
1t was hot where Dives was. He did
not like it. He wanted to get out. So
do we. Let us pray" That was the
whole sermon. 1t pleased the swelter-
ing assemblage immensely, and the
people agreed in their discussion on
their way home that Mr.. Gillingham
was a genius.

Now, it transpires, and the official

member of congress from the tenth
Georgia district, introduced in the
house of representatives, advocated
and got passed a resolution appropriat-

efforts were antedated.
