The demand from scientists and tourists

New York,s Peril
BY MAURICE M. HINTON.

The port of New York is threatened with rival which will take from it vast amount of shipping. Until the hour comes when the first ship is withdrawn the authorities of the State and city will sleep on in blissful unconsciousness that a blow at it's prestige has been struck.
 It was a singular caprice of fortune that caused the narrow island of Man haitian to afford the site upon which has grown, what Is now. the first city on this continent and the greatest seaport city in the world. In the early days of the country it was firmly believed that Perth Amboy, Staten Island or Hoboken would be the sites selected for a great city. It Is stated upon good authority that there were two causes for the se- lection of Manhattan Island. One was the ease with which merchandise could be conveyed from the island to the main

EVOLUTION IN OYSTERS.
Why Those Planted in Shoal water
 withstand the e.Frosts.

From the Washington Post.
 Oystermen of the Chesapeake are very much puzzled to ascertain why it is that oyseters planted and growing in shoal wa ter and along the shores near the mouths of creeks and rivers, where they are of- tentirnes exposed to frosts, especially dur ing low tides, are nevertheless, harder and withstand frost better than the reef oysters far at sea- The latters are In deep water, where thye are never in any danger of frost This. however, is a very simple proposition to students of natural science who recognize in this phenom- enon a cast of adaptation and survival.
 The reef osysters are protected from frosts and in consequence are not obliged to develop qualities for combating changes of temperature. On the other hand. when reef osysters are planted along shore, those that are least able to withstand frost, the tender ones. etc., quickly succumb leaving only the strong and hardy to increase. Thus, by course of wedding out of the weak and tender a very hardy type of oyster is produced in shoal water. But the oystermen are not posted on evolution, and as a result they are very much puzzled to account for very ordinary phase of natures economy.

stealing mule and going North Margie the Eliza of the story and Clarks wife, was left behind, but she soon ran off to Louisville
 The story of the trip across the Ice, as told in the novel, is exploded by Nor man. who says Margie remained in Louis vile until her husband returned for her from Ohio and the two went to Cincinnati on a steamboat. Eliza was an oetoroon. Clark met Mrs. Stowe in the North and gave her the plot and characters for her great work.
 Uncle Tom of the story, old Norman says. was not a sensitive, persecuted darky as pictured. but worthless, lazy "no-'count nigger," disliked even by his own race. The Little Eva of the story did not die and go to heaven. as indicated but is still alive and now a grandmother.
 General Kennedy's home was known as Poplar Hiil." It still stands and Is still occupied as a residence. The cabins on the Kennedy place formed & little town where the premises were neatly kept and everything was convenient. There was a front yard and a small garden attached to each cabin and much was done to make the life of the slaves pleasant. Many of General Kennedy's slaves show ed their attachm ent for the place by wanting to stay with his children when the war came and set them free.
 Poplar Hill'' was a typical Southern home with It's thousands of acres of rich land, it's deer park, and its orchards. At the time young Tom Kennedy came into possession of his portion of the estate Clark was made almost a free man. His young master provided him with horse and light wagon and permitted him to go through the country trading. Clark was bright and intelligent and did we'll as trader. He was often taken for a white man.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago InterOcean.
 Louisville, January-To permit or not to permit the production of Uncle Toms Cabin" in the theatres of the common wealth is a question now agitating Ken tuckians. The matter readily broke the bounds of a mere soliloquy when Lexing- ton chapter of the Daughters of the Confectionery raised a protest against the plays presentation in the capital of the Bluegrass state. Now the anti-Cabin- ists''-as they have been termed-numper thousands, almost every chapter of the Daughters in the state has formally protested against the play. and bill IS about to be introduced in the General Assembly for the purpose of suppress ing the drama. In any other state the coincidence would be called singular the coincidence of a state that furnish ed the characters and incidents for great novel being the first to take steps toward suppressing it's dramatization In Kentucky, however, 1t Is but natural sequence-this attempt to bar by leg1s- lative enactm ent the appearance in tho atres of companies that play Uncle Toms Cabin" Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowes great slave epic, founded on the
 
 From every section where wives, daugh- ters, and granddaughters of veterans of the lost cause have formed organizations, there comes a voice against the further production of the play in Kentucky. and, If any one douD,s that a measure to pro- hibit will be introduced in the legislature, let him watch the dispatches from Frank fort after bill days.
 It will be remembered by the millions who have read Uncle Toms Cabin" that Mrs. Stowe opens it with the expression, 'In the quiet little town of P-." This means Paint Lick, village on the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. in Garrard county. Mrs. Stowe many times confess ed that the groundwork of the plot was laid there, on the farm and among the negroes owned by General Thomas Ken nedy, who was Garrard countys first Representative in the General Assembly of Kentucky. And this last fact may play it's part in the prospective action of the present session of that body. Many friends of the Kentucky generations that have come into prominence since that Legislature at the close of the eighteenth century feel that Mrs. Stowe did General Kennedy an injustice in the way she mix ed fiction with fact, coupling his name to each. Garrard countys weathiest citi- zen and largest dealer in race horses persecutor of the black man that Mrs. Stowe has led thousands to believe.
 This Is not hearsay evidence, as there still lives at Paint Lick the link be- tween the fading past and the feeting present-a diminutive negro, who was one of General Kennedys slaves, and who re- members him as kind hearted man. When the traveller reaches Paint Lick the first person he meets Is this same little creature, black as the proverbial ace of spades, feet 9 of stature, and 60 pounds of weight He always meets all trains at the village station.

 He tells the stranger in the first breath that he knew Uncle Tom, because he Is justified by years of experience in sur missing that it will be the next ques- ton he has to answer. His life story is told by him in darky dialect peculiar to the ante-bellum black man of the South With the dialect eliminated Argo said:

One hundred were willed to the old generals s son, Thomas Kennedy, Jr., while l. who was one of the generals house boys. was given to Robert Argo. That's where got my last name.

"A FAMILY AFFAIR.

"I raised family on Dr. Hartsr's Iron Tonic", is common expression in letters to Dr. Harter. It is very true that this famous remedy does appeal to the family it is common sense, everyday help-not patent medicine. There is no secret about it. Iron has been used to purify and strengthen the blood ever since medicine became a science. In the half-century of it's existence Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has firmly established itself as an ideal family remedy. It is good for the baby, good for the young folks, and good for adults. There comes to all of these, regularly, not necessar- fly sickness, but times when the blood needs to be purified and strengthened; thinking, sensible people take Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic at such times to prevent sickness. Keep the young people strong if you want them to suc- ceed. When they are merging into manhood and womanhood the system requires an abundance of iron.

progressive and farseeing railroad men this country ever had, was a firm be- lieyer in tunnels. The present Rapid Transit Tunnel was a favorite scheme of his. also that of connecting New York with Brooklyn and Jersey City with New York. He had soundings made Of both rivers and borings of their bottoms. When he acquired the stock and control of the Long Island Railroad and built 1t up he firmly believed it would eventually become a trunk line to the eastern ex- tremety of the Long Island, namely, Mon tauk Point.
 MT. Corbin claimed that ships sailing from Montauk Point to Milford Haven, England could cross the Atlantic in five days. He claimed that Milford Haven would give ships a better docking than Liverpool or Southampton. and Montauk a better port to enter than New York. He also saw that the tunnel connecting Long Island with New Jersey would furnish fa- cilities for the handling of Western freight which could not be obtained in New York except at great cost He claimed that freight-ladened .cars from the West could be run up alongside the steamer and with one handling cargoes could be transferred from car to ship. Warehouse facilities and advantages cOulu De ODta4neQ aL lne new port much less money than elsewhere and as for passengers they could be landed in the city two hours after arrival Indeed many hours earlier than at present.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad is building a tunnel under the Hudson and 1t has se- cured a site for a grand station in the very heart of the city. It also proposes to connect with Long Island. This com pany owns, controls and manages the Long Island Railroad For what purpose?
 The New York Central and Hudson has secured by act of legislature In 1900 the right to build a bridge from the West Chester shore to Long Island, and it is now talking about a tunnel. Why2 A tunnel from New London to Long Island under the Sound would not be a difficult engineering feat.
 | Would it be strange if these companies controlling all the freight from the West | North of the Baltimore and Ohio should | ship from Montauk2 Bear in mind that the American line Is controlled by the Pennsylvania Company. and furthermore ships follow freight. Great docks, a good, easily entered harbor, low tolls, great fa- ciuties. What more do they want7 The railroad people may deny, may protest, but why should they be believed?
 On the other hand let these great cor porations announce this to be their inten- tion and storm will be awakened to interfere. Is there not every reason for them to deny the statement? Deny it, if they must, it Is, nevertheless so. The great shipping business of New Y ork city is in imminent peril. A great seaport town will spring up at the end of Long Island and the great transatlantic freight and passenger carriers will cease to make the port of New York gay with their coming and going. But what will this mean to New York? A city will spring up like mushroom and the labor that is employed there will be taken from the Imperial City. The loss of shipping to the great port will be a serious blow If such a city springs up call it Corbin City, after the man who had the brain to foresee 1t.

land, thus making the East side of the Hudson River and the State of Connecti- cutt approachable, and the other was the Erie Canal. As this was before the days of great iron and steel suspension bridges or tunnels, or improved railroads, facili- ties offered to canal boats ships and wa ter common carriers in general deter mined the question.
 Today New York harbor is approached through channels only passable to the great ocean liners at high tide. The rivers where the dock are filled with pass ing crafts and ferry boats. the docks are inadequate to the Aheavy demand except at great cost, the cargoes have to be often handled and lighted and in a word in conveniences have multiplied with the years. Engineering devices for boring tunnels have made 1t possible to bore through solid rock at cost of one-fifth what it was few years ago. Indeed. tunneling is as cheap as grading a rail- road through an uneven country.
