ZoIa's LA Terre- on the Stage.

PARIS, Jan. a.-Much curiosity was
aroused tonight by the production at the
Theater Antoine Of the dramatization of
Zoga's La Terre," which was regarded
the official Temperance of the apostle
OF naturaism, who has not been prominent
before the public since his championship of
Captain Dreyfus rendered him unpopular.
The play has the same title as the book.
The dramatizers of Zola's work, Nj. Saint
Arroman and NJ. Charles Hugot, follow the
lines of the novel closely, but the piece is
more noteworthy as a succession of realis-
tic pictures of French peasant life than
for its dramatic interest and action. Hence
1t is not surprising that it failed TO secure
a successful reception from the first
nighters
As NJ. lola was not present at the pro-
ductiOn, the expected demonstration did
not occur, but the announcement of the
authors name was greeted with some cries
of "Abas Zola'' and counter shouts -
''Vive Zola." The play was splendidly
staged and acted. The production receives
but faint praise from most of the morning
papers like the Figaro. while the anti
Semitic journals pronounce the play dis
NAL failure.

Effect of a Medical Discovery.
American Medicine


Competent students have said that the
greatest enemy of the human race, and the
most profound cause of the slowness of the
extension of civilization, has been malaria.
The most fertile regions of the globe are
the tropics. and in these the Caucasian car
riers of civilization have never been able
to live because of this fatal disease. The
black races have acquired immunity, but
the black does not proceed naturally be-
yond savagery and barbarism. Medical sci
ence has just discovered the method of
propagation of malaria and preventing the
same, so that ii is confidently predicted
that the white races will soon overrun the
tropics and tremendously extend the
worlds civilization. Yellow fever can also
be exterminated from these regions, as has
been proved in Cuba, and will add TO the
tendency All of this happens at time
when the nations Of the earth seem furi-
ously driven to extend themselves by col
onization and expansion to every part OF
the habitable globe. Thus by means Of
what would at first seem trivial scientific
discovery in medicine, the ancient barbar-
isms Of the tropics will come TO an end.
The fact shows how intimately medicine
and civilization are bound together, and
how dependent upon our science are all the
great movements of peoples and the ad-
VanceS of humanity.

How largely the toothsome banana and
the festive cocOanut enter into the dietary
of the American people may be Judged bv
the fact that the United Fruit Company
alone, during the past year, distributed in
the United States and Canada approxi-
mately. no less than l7,500,0O0 punches OF
bananas and IL. 10000 cocoanuts In addition
10 other tropical fruits. Sixty ocean-goinE
steamers were engaged exclusively in the
banana trade. Estimating not over one
hundred good bananas to a bunch these
figures show an average consumption OF
more than twenty bananas each for every
man, woman and child in the United States
and a few millions extra for good BOYS and
girls. But an attempt 70 divide up the
cocoanuts per capita will probably get US
into trouble, for. while the bulk is enor-
nous, IL means only one cocoanut 10 every

able principles.
