FOX AND HOUND FARM.
Colonel Chinn's Unique Enter
prise on Kentucky River.

Colonel Jack Chinn will start a fox
and hound farm on the place which be
has just purchased on the Kentucky
river and will raise blOoded hounds
and red foxes on large scale, says a
Burgin (Ky.) dispatch to the New York
Tribune. He has closed a contract
with William Gender, who is one of the
oldest and best known hunters and
trappers in the state, to take charge
of the breeding and rearing of the ami
mails. Large wire Enclosures will be
built on the cliffs, wherein the foxes
will be reared without being aware of
the fact that they are prisoners, as
domesticated fox never gives good
race. The hounds will be looked after
on the western side of the place.
Colonel Chinn has always been
great lover of the chase and has cap
tured many prizes with his dogs. Last
year he sold more than $1,000 worth OF
foxhounds. He recently offered Walk
er. the well known Garrard county
fox hunter, $500 each for two pups,
but Walker declined to sell at any
price.

GROWTH OF TRADE.
Commerce i'm 1900 Is Thirteen
Times Greater Than 1t
Was i'm 1900.

President Needham of the Columbian
university expresses much qualification
in the success which los attended a
course of lectures ON Commerce" re-
Gently delivered before the school of
comparative Jurisprudence and diplo-
macy Of that university by o. P. Aus
tin. chief of the bureau of statistics,
says q Washington special to the New
York Times. Professor Needham COM
ments upon the large public attendance
at the lectures as an evidence Of the
growing interest in commercial matters
in the United States, an interest which
is being recognized by the great edu-
cational institutions in the establish
ment of lecture courses upon this sub
ject.
Mr.. Austin's first address sketched
the international commerce of the
world during the last century, which,
he said, had grown from 81 ,500,0O0,00O
in 1900 to 500, OOO,OO0,OOO in 1900 while
population was increasing from about
6OO. 100000 to 1,5O0,00O,00O, this re-
markable growth Of commerce being
due to the application of steam, steel
and electricity to transportation and
communication.
The second address traced the growth
of foreign commerce of the United
States from about 500, 100000 Of do
nestle exports and net imports In 1900
to over $1,000, 100000 in 1900, growth
which had brought the United States
to the head of the worlds list of export
ing nations. The third address told the
story of the growth of the internal COM
merce Of the United States during the
century, which had developed with the
growth of the transportation systems
from $2,OOO,OOOOOO in value in 1850 to
2O,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1900, Or as much in
1900 as the entire foreign commerce Of
the world.
In the fourth lecture the commerce
Of the Atlantic was shown to have
grown from about $1,000,OOO, 900 in 1900
to $12, 900, 100000 in 1900. The fifth ad-
dress related to the commerce Of the
Pacific, which is now about $4,000, 0OO,-
600 yearly. The sixth and closing ad-
dress discussed the rapidly growing de-
mand of the temperate zones for trop-
icaI productions, the tropical imports
Of the United States alone amounting
to $1,OOO,OOO a day, and suggested that
the capital and energy of the temperate
zone will in the near future be applied
to the development of the tropics.

OUEEREST AMERICAN BOOK
Volume of Aztec Picture Writing
Issued by Museum.

Perhaps the Queerest book ever pub
lished in the United States is a repro
duction Of one of the ancient Aztec
picture manuscripts, or codices, which
the Peabody museum at Harvard has
recently issued. The volume is called
the "COdex Nuttall' in honor Of Mrs.
Zelia Nuttall, an honorary assistant of
the museum as we'll as one of the most
eminent living "Americanists," who
discovered the original after it had
been lost to sight for nearly four cen
turtles.
Like the ten codices previously
known, the one now reproduced was
painted in several colors on both sides
Of strips of deerskin which were glued
together in such a way that they
formed one long band which was fold
ed back and forth like the pages Of
japanese picture book. The coloring of
the original is brought out exactly in
been traced and painted by a skilled
artist and then Autographed.
The picture words used In this unique
book are not at all like the convention
allied word signs or hieroglyphs found
on many Of the ruins of Central Amer
lea. Each is a complete drawing in it
self, expressing not only by its outline,
but, as archBologists suppose, by its
coloring as well, each individual tint
being thought to have had its own
SDaCial Significance
The sequence of the text is exactly
opposite to that Of a modern book
that is to say, what would nowadays
be the last page is the first page, the
lines are to be read from right to left,
and the sense" of the story goes from
the bottom of the page to the top: The
pages being joined in one long strip, it
is necessary to read through the whole
of one side and then, closing the vol
ume, to turn it completely over in or
der to begin reading again on the back
of the first page.
The colors with which the original
codex was painted were apparently
applied with great care. They are all
In finely distinguished tones, apparent
ly made by some secret process which
the artists never divulged and which
has not been handed down.

THEIR DOGS LEFT BEHIND.
Steamer Officials Disliked Pets of
Negroes Bound for Liberia.

The fifty-four Georgia negroes who
left Savannah last week for Liberia,
by way of New York and Liverpool,
met with sad disappointment in New
York. Several of them had taken
their pet coon and 'possum dogs with
them, possibly with the expectation OF
INDUCING in some fine hunts in the
swamps of the ozark continent.
But when they started aboard the
White Star steamer in New York the
guards said "get out" to the dogs.
but they belong to u.s." explained
George Scott, late OF Irwin county,
IAN dey are powerful fine coon dogs.
We hearn dat Liberia is full OBJ coons,
an so we fetch de dogs along" But
not even that explanation was sutii-
cient, and so the dogs had to be left
behind IN HObOken.

to the Roosevelt hospital, where In
April, 1901, the dislocation was re-
duced She was about five years old.
The plaster cast on the chlld's leg
was twice renewed, the third one hav-
ing been taken off but a few weeks
ago In the meantime, though, fol-
lowing the instructions given by DR..
LOrenz, the child was taught to run
about and play with the cast on. and
she became so expert in locomotion
thus impeded that she could climb
fences and do nearly everything that
the other children did.
Before the crippled leg was treated it
was two and three-quarter inches short
er than the left leg. When the cast was
removed, that limb was quarter or an
inch longer than it's mate. This barely
perceptible difference is now the only
thing by which any diSSimliarity be-
tween the two legs can be detected.
Martha moves about like other children
and is pronounced completely cured.
When DR.. Lorenz examined the child
the other day in DR.. AShley's office,
where she had been brought for the
purpose Of a test, he actually took up
the left leg under the impression that
it rather than the right had been the
dislocated one. At the Cornell clinic DR..
Lorenz, after describing this cure,
turned to DR.. Ely and said: Don't that
make you proud you're doctor"
DR.. Lorenz first announced his dis
covery to the public in 1896, though he
had been working at it a long time be-
fore that. Even up to three years ago
he still employed the bloody method on
some cases. Now he has abandoned it
entirely, and DR.. Ely is firm in his be-
lief that in time the bloodless treatment
will entirely displace the old. DR.. Lo-
REM is said to effect cure in about 60
per cent of the cases that are brought
to him. When the master fails in forty
cases out of hundred. it behooves his
followers, DR.. Ely says, to be slow and
patient lest harm come Of what will
otherwise be Of great benefit to suffer
ing humanity.

ENGLISH BANDIT HUNTERS.
New Form of Excitement for
British Sportsmen in Italy.

The Osservatore Romano announced
that a group Of young English sports
men, tired Of the comparatively mild
emotions of big game shooting, propose
to take up brigand stalking as a novel
and more exciting form of sport. The
financial proceeds of their bags" will
be devoted to partially reimbursing the
victims of the outlaws.
The police authorities, regarding this
new departure as another instance Of
English originality. have reminded
sportive man hunters that they will in
cur a great risk, but while declining all
responsibility they have promised ev-
cry support and encoura cement in their
power.
The government rewards are quoted
at sums ranging from 5000 for the
more commonplace species Of outlaw
to $4,000 for the Sicilian brigand Vas
salone, the legitimate successor in COM
prehensive depreciation of the famous
Mussolino. Just at present Vassalone,
dead or alive, is a much wanted indi-
vidual.

Agricultural DEPARTMENTS New Idea.

"Set pest to kill pest" is the new
rendition which the agricultural de-
partment at Washington has given an
old proverb, and the grasshopper is
the latest pest to receive attention
along this line. The grasshopper spe-
cific is a fungoid germ called "ento-
mophthorcae, which, despite the
name, is said to be easily cultivated
aud distributed. The process of dis
tribution is to inoculate few grass
boppers, who will Immediately get
busy and scatter the germs broadcast
among their kind. 1t is alleged that
millions of grasshoppers and locusts
have been killed in South Africa and
the Philippines by the process.

Or. LORENz'S METHOD
Dangers In It's Use by Inex-
perienced Operators.
TREATMENT Is VERY DIFFICULT.

DR.. L. w. Ely, Disciple of the
viennese Surgeon, Points out What
May Happen If There Is n Rush to
BIoOdless Surgery without suffi-
cient study.
DR.. L. w. Ely, who was publicly
commended by DR.. Adolf Lorenz for
his successful application of the Wen
ma surgeons method in treating con-
genital dislocation of the hip, predicts
that within year, despite all the pres
emf enthusiasm for bloOdleSs surgery,
there will be a reaction, and DR.. LO-
REM will come in for a great deal of
undeserved abuse.
1T will be no fault of DIR. Lorenz or
his system said DR.. Ely the other
day to a reporter of the New York
Mail and Express at Roosevelt hos
pital, where he has charge Of the or
thopedic department, but it will be
due to the failure of surgeons who will
undertake to cure hip disease without
sufficient preparation. No one who
saw DR.. Lorenz operate could have
failed to be impressed by the apparent
ease with which he reduced the dis
location. 1t looked so easy that it was
deceptive. Many man, l doubt not,
will fail to take into account the years
of hard work and the hundreds OF eX-
periments that were required before
DR.. Lorenz was able to work his splen-
did cures.
1.-THE treatment looks simple, but it
is extremely difficult. Perfect tech
meal knowledge Of the structure or the
leg. exact reckoning of the amount of
pressure the fragile bone of a child
will stand before it breaks and an
Rdaptability that can be attained only
by patient study will be required be-
fore our surgeons can accomplish re-
suits. DR.. Lorenz himself is imprOv-
ing his method all the time, and 1t is
in many ways different now from that
/ saw when | studied under him two
years ago.
"Well, our surgeons, l am afraid,
are going to rush eagerly at the first
cases that come to their attention, and
they are likely either to go too far and
break the leg or to go not far enough
and fail to reduce the dislOcat1on.
Then they will declare that the method
is a failure, and you will hear all sorts
of discredit heaped upon DIR. LorenZ.
There will be a reaction from all this
enthusiasm, and after that there will
be sane and careful study Of DR.. Lo-
renz's treatment.
81 know how difficult the operation
is, for in that case of which DR.. Lo-
REM spoke at the Cornell clinic it took
us an hour to do what would have
taken him probably three minutes.
Talk of the knife being brutal! The
bloodless operation is even more so,
even under the master touch of Lo-
REM, though it does have the merit of
almost eliminating the danger of fatal
results"
The case to which DR.. Lorenz re-
ferred with qualification was that OF
Marta Van Buskirk of Keyport, N. ].
From birth the girl was a cripple,
her right hip being dislocated. Doctor
after doctor was appealed to in vain
for relief, but the elder sister of the
child is a trained nurse and would not
be put down. She heard of the LOrenZ
method and of DR.. Ely having studied
under the eminent Vienna specialist.
