 c. c. Adams. general superintendent of the southern division of the Postal Telegraph-Cable company, with head quarters in Atlanta; E. J. Nally, general superintendent of the western division. with headquarters in Chicago; s. A. Dun can, superintendent of the second dis trict of the Postal; George M. Duncan, superintendent of telegraph for the H. linois Central railroad and others, spent a part of the day yesterday in the city inspecting the local properties of the Postal company. The party arrived We'd nesday and spent part of the forenoon yesterday on the floor of the cotton ex- change.
 "One of the objects of our visit" said MT Adams yesterday afternoon, was the inspection of the lines of the Postal Telegraph Cable company along the H. linois Central road and its branches from Chicago to New Orleans with the view of reconstructing and improving them. This plan of improvement provides for additional copper wires, which the com pany contemplates adding to It's southern system in the spring between these points. It is the purpose of our company to give New Orleans the very best pos sible telegraph facilities, and to do this we are going to string additional wires from New Orleans by way of Mobile, Birmingham and Atlanta, thence north along the line of the Southern railway to Washington. A new copper line is now under construction from Atlanta north, and when this line is completed it will be the shortest and most direct route be- tween New Orleans and New York, thus bringing the two great commercial cen ters of the United States into closer touch The material used in this line is of the very highest standard, the copper wires being of the largest gauge, there by insuring as fine a service from New Orleans north as will be found between any of the large trade centers of the east and west.

EFFECTS OF DIR. LoRENzs VISIT.

Dr. Dexter D. Ashley in thhe Outlook.
 The influence of Professor Lorenz's visit to this country will be beneficial to both the public and the profession. The orthopedc surgeon will have a better understanding of this bloodless operation and the technique of bandaging and after-treatment necessary to successful management of these cases. The gen. eral practitioner will make an early diag- nosis of these conditions, which can be mured by the bloodless operation only in infancy and early youth. Many came to us in Chicago who were beyond thel age limit. Professor Lorenz remarked that should he come to America in ten years he hoped not to find these neglected cases.
 The laity will be educated to realize the importance of this early treatment and be directed to the men practicing this speciality of orthopedic surgery, who only can be expected to conduct these cases to successful cure.
 Another condition must be faced and understood by the public and professions many will be disappointed, since Profess sor Lorenz, with his great experience and skill, cannot warrant all cases. Fifty per cent of all cases in has practice have been cured, while the other 50 per cent have been only ameliorated. Still the operation will be eagerly attempted by overconfident, inefficient men, who nave only seen the work rom the arena, who comprehend nothing of the minutia or the complete reduction, the deepening Of the socket and the elimination of the forces tending to relaxation; who, know nothing of the position of stability in the different defomities, the holding of the limb in this position by the application of plaster of paris, yet permitting the joint to functionate, giving nature an op- portunity to adjust the tissues and in- sure the stability of the new condition; and long after-treatment, considered of no secondary importance by the profess sor, requiring experience and knowledge of the anatomical relations that cannot be learned from books.
 And yet anssher phase. The laity may

TWELVE POISON EATERS
 OF THE UNITED STATES

 table. By alternating the two squs and comparing the results of the obs vations made while the members of sH, experiment table are on a pure-food dIec with the observations of their respect. physical conditions when eating fo mixed with supposedly poisonous sul stances, it is expected that it will bF possible to determine just how deleteIi- ous to the human system the various adulterants, conservatives and colorlng matters are.
 To add an element of uncertainty to the experiment, so far as the twelve young men are concerned, as well as to prevent the theory of mental suggestion from having any influence upon their bodily condition, one of the six at the poison table will be given pure food entirely. Which one of the six 1t will be only Professor Wiley knows, and he isn't going to tell until after the conclusion of the experiments, which. it is expected, will continue about six months.
 The twelve young men-Dr. Wiley doesn't want their names used-are all in fine physical condition, and every one of them seems delighted at the idea of being a boarder of Uncle Sam for half a year. There are few inconveniences, however, which they will have to suffer. They will not be allowed to eat between meals nor at night, nor at any other place than the departments dining room A certain number of glasses of water will be allowed them each day, and if one of the boarders finds he must exceed the allowance oI suffer, he must measure the drink carefully and make a record of it for Professor Wiley's refer ence The members of tho squad are also permitted a limited and stated al- lowance of tobacco every twenty-four hours. In addition 10 these there are no other restrictions, except that they must report to Professor Wiley any daily hap pening out of the ordinary which might possibly have an effect upon their phys ical condition.

THE IsTHMus A PEST PLACE.

From the New York Herald.
 While the discussion is pending on the respective merits of the Panama and Nicaraguan routes for the future trans continental canal, there is a deep sig nificaQce in the fact that the Panther has just been ordered home on account of the occurrence of Chagres fever among its crew.
 The cruiser has been doing service in the unhealthful climate of the isthmus, and the result is what inevitably hap pens under like conditions of exposure to Infection.
 It can be truthfully said that there is no more unhealthful spot in the world than the one favored by many as the fu- ture interoceanic thoroughfare
 If for no other reason the Nicaraguan plan should commend itself as the only safe and practical one for the end in view. Why select the pestiferous Pan anna region when a safe and salubrious country offers itself nearer home, with every other recommendation in it's favor?

Proqress in Wireless TeIeoraphy.

It seems to be conceded that Mar conf is successful in all respects ex- eept speed The best speed that he gan thus far secure is the transmits sion of ten words a minute, and such a rate is fatal in a commercial sense, however promising it may be from a scientific point of view. Speed Is prime necessity, and it is this that Marconi up in Nova Scotia is trying to gain. No announcement need be expected from him until he has an apparatus of working commercial eff hency.
 But wireless telegraphy is by no neans confined to the efforts of Mr. Marconi in spanning the broad Allan ic. Nearly every nation is using, or

 H HE poison eaters.' as the twelve lCD young men who compose the de-
 pertinent of agriculture's train ing table have come to be popularly call cd, began their course of diet experi- ments on Monday. under the direction of Professor Wiley the chemist of the de- pertinent. They will not eat any poison ed food for about two weeks. however. or until MT. Wiley finds out all about their physical peculiarities and deter mins just how much wholesome food it takes to keep each one at a certain weight. The twelve youn men, who are all employees of the agricultural depart ment-six of them from the chemical laboratories and six from the offices of the epartment-arrived at the depart ment on Monday morning They were first made to strip, were then weighed and at clock sat down to a breakfast prepared by the departments cook, that, as they all united in saying, couldn't have been better" The fact that every ounce of food put before them had been carefully weighed and measured and that NfNA9 hAoR LII Wcii6A BANtn LuGAh tO LII AAh had been filtered and rendered germ proof didn't spoil their appetites to any marked degree or make them bashful and after Professor Wiley had viewed their performances for a while he de- clared that they were all mighty good men and that 1t was going to cost the department something handsome to keep the experiment table in orpeation.
 Every morning before breakfast the young men will be weighed, their pulse, respiration and temperature taken, and the results noted on a big chart, and in the course of two weeks Professor Wiley expects to be able to tell to a fraction just how much wholesome, substantial food Is necessary to keep each of them at the exact figure at wnieh he weighed in. When this has been accomplished the twelve men will be divided into two squads, and will take tl.eir meals at separate tables at one of which pure food will be served and at the other food which has been poisoned" or mixed with adulterants. preseryatives and coloring matter, which are in general use in all classes of foods sold an the American market.

APOSTLE SHOOT.
'om the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Apostle Shoot of the Mormon church seems to be regarded as being as much the next senator from Utah as if he were already elected. The matter was understood to have been settled in the state two years ago. There was a dead lock then over the election of a senator Thomas Kearns came out as a eandi- date He was man of vast wealth. and he was told that he could have the support of the Mormon church which would surely elect him, provided he wonld, agree that Shoot should be chosen in place of Senator Rawlings, whose term was to expire in two years. Kearns assented, was elected, and the bargain was then struck which is now 10 be carried out. The Mormon church, in point of fact. elects both senators. Shoot is a banker, and also rich in ad- dition to his apostleship, and a good deal of a politician with his other ae- complishments.

IoER AND DEAD CATS.

From the New York Tribune
 Professor Loeb of Chicago university having discovered that dead cats and dogs can temporarily be restored to life by injecting into their veins solutions of sodium and cadmium, the cat may now have more than her nine lives, and in- stead of every dog having his day some of them may have half a dozen, more or less, extra, to little purpose so far as the public veal is concerned, but iron, a scientific and medical point of view in the highest degree interesting.

LIFE.

By Charles Swain. Life's not our own,-'tis but a loan
 To be repaid; Soon the dark Comer's at the door. The debt is due; the dream is o'er-
 Lifes but a shade. Thus all decline that bloom or shine
 Both star and flower; Iris but a little odor shed, A light gone out. a spirit fled,
 A funeral hour. Then let us show tranquil brow
 Whate'er befalls: That we upon life's latest brink May look on Death S dark face-ano think

 "The holiday rush starts a little earlier each year This week will find us as busy as we used to be the week before Christmas. I will not be surprised to see a few years hence Christmas well under way before Thanksgiving day.

Driving Loose Stock Across the Forest
 Reserve.

Persons wishing to cross any part of a forest reserve over a public road or trail, established sheep or cattle trail, or the ordinary noun tain trail, with a band of sheep or herd of cattle or horses (the few head of stock following a wagon or pack train being excepted in this regulation), must make application to the forest supervisor in charge, either by letter or on the regular grazing application form, for the privilege of grazing the stock on the reserve en route, and must have a permit from the supervisor, to be issued by him on the form in use by him for issuing grazing permits. The application must state the number of stock to be driven across the reserve, the date of starting, and period required for the passage Grazing on the reserve along any road or trail will only be allowed for the period actually necessary for the stock to make the passage across the reserve. If the occasion demands, forest rangers will be de- tailed by the supervisor to accom- pany the stock to see that there is no delay and unnecessary tres passing.
 The ordinary application for cat tie and horse privileges, changed to either sheep, cattle or horses, as the case may require, may be used for these applications.
