Grow Tall bv Inoculatfon.

Short men cannot be made tall in
spite Of the fact that a learned profess
sor, lecturing before the Royal Dublin
Society on Magrath, the Irish giant,
limited that he attained his height by
artificial aid-to wit, incubation.
The theory is that if children are in
oculated with an extract from the pitu-
itary glands of growing animals they
will become giants.
"The pituitary glands" said a doctor
whom an Express representative inter-
viewed yesterday. "are two small lobes
in the base of the brain. Provided, in
the first place that an extract from
these glands was capable of stimulat-
ing growth in a child, that growth
would be a morbid one. It would
practically become the disease known
as acromegaly.
II have only had two cases Of this
disease in my career, as it is very rare.
The enlargement of the bones which it
Use is very irregular, and one side
of the body or a limb may be much
larger than the other"
Short men will, therefore, have to
abandon the hope of adding a cubit to
their stature by Observation-Disclosures
Express.

"The grass stove is made Of brick,

the ash box, the second is the fire box,
the third is the cooking oven, the fourth
is the smoke passage, the fifth is the
hot air chamber, the sixth is the smoke
passage to the chimney.
"The grass is pitched into the fire box
two or three times each twenty-four
hours. A great deal is pitched in. For
ten minutes or SO the pitching goes on.
The grass, packed in the fire box, dies,
becomes red hot and then for q long

Miss Cathleen Nelson Becomes the Wife
of Reginald c. Vanderbilt.
Newport, r. 1.-The marriage of Miss
Cathleen Gerhard Nelson, daughter of
Mrs. Frederick Nelson, and Reginald
G. Vanderbilt, youngest son of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, took place at Ar
leigh Cottage. The wedding, the recep-
ton and the wedding breakfast were
all at Arleigh.
The brides gown was Of ivory white
satin, covered with fine chiffon. Very
little lace was used in the costume,
but here and there were touches Of rare
old lace relieving the severity Of the
skirt, which was made without pleats,
and fell in soft, graceful folds. The
long train came from the waist and
was uncovered, except by the bridal
veil Of old lace, a family heirloom.
The bodice was made with a high
neck, with the yoke and upper parts
Of the sleeves of lace, while long puffs
Of chiffon fell over the hands. The
bride wore the bridegroom's gift, a
magnificent string of pearls. Her bou-
quet was Of white orchids, with sprays
of orange blossoms and stephanotis
bound loosely together with a broad
white satin ribbon.

ON RACE PROBLEM
Future Of the Negro Lies in the
South, Cleveland Declares.
Speaks Ont For white Domlnation-Obli.
cations of the White Man, However.
Should Be Strictly Carried Out.

New York City. = That the negro
problem in the South has aroused
much interest in the North was shown
Wien a large number Of the represen-
tative citizens of New York assembled
In the Madison Square Garden Con-
cert Hall to listen to a discussion of
the subject by such men as former
President Grover Cleveland, the Rev.
win, Jr., Edgar Gardner Murphy, OF
Alabama, and the Rev. Booker Il.
Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute.
Former President Cleveland placed
himself unequivocally upon a platform
favoring the domination of the white
man in the South, though he advocated
no less vigorously the education Of the
negro and a fair discharge Of the white
mans obligation toward the race for
merly enslaved.
Mayor Low. in introducing Mr.. Cleve-
land as the first speaker, said that the
Tuskegee experiment had shown that
the negro was worth helping.
MIR. Cleveland was received with
cheers as he arose to speak. He said:
Il have come here as a sincere friend
OF the negro, and l should be very
sorry to suppose that my good and reg
ular standing in such company needed
support at this late day, either from
certificate or confession of faith.
Il desire to declare myself as belong
ing to the Booker T. Washington-Tus-
kegee section. I believe that the days
of Uncle Toms Cabin are past. 1 am
thoroughly convinced that the efforts
Of Booker T. Washington and the
methods of Tuskegee Institute point
the way to a safe and beneficent solu-
ton of the vexatious negro problem at
the South"
Mr.. zCleveland went on to say that
whatever the work of the people of the
North In aiding such efforts to help the
negro as is being done at Tuskegee, and
whatever the better tendencies among
the negroes themselves prove to be, the
hope for the black man must in the
main depend upon the sentiment and
conduct of the leading and responsible
white men Of the South.
He said that this aid and encourage
ment had been generously Forthcoming
from the South, and that he personally
had faith in the honor and sincerity of
the respectable white people of that
section in their relations with the me-
gro. He said that the South did not
believe in the social equality of the
races n made no false pretenses in
regard to it, and that perhaps the So
called race prejudice amounted to ra-
cial instinct.
but whichever it is" continued Mr..
Cleveland, 'let US remember that it
condoned the negro's share in the hui
initiation and spoilation of the white
men of the South during the saturna-
liza of reconstruction days, and has al
lowed a kindly feeling for the negro to
survive the time when the South was
deluged by the perilou3 food of indis-
criminate. unintelligent and blighting
negro suffrage"
He continued to say that the neces-
sary element to the uplifting of the
negro in the South was the cooperation
of the white people of the South, which
had teen ungrudgingly given.

Swift Footed Dogs,

The speed of animals was being dis
cussed by the keepers at the Zoo. John
Lover said: "The greyhound is the
swiftest of all quadrupeds. A grey
hound can run from twenty to twenty
four yards a second. This Is 100 yards
in five seconds, or a mile in one minute
and twenty-eight seconds for the slow
er dog and a mile in one minute and
thirteen seconds for the faster one.
FOXhounds have great speed, too. A
certain French foxhound has a record
of four miles in six and a half minutes.
The fox terrier has, for it's size, great
speed, and its endurance is wonderful.
These sturdy little animals will follow
a carriage, an automobile or a bicycle
for hours, covering twenty or twenty
five miles without any appearance of
fatigue. The shepherd dog can run
about fifteen yards a second, and the
setter can run from eighteen to twenty
miles an hour, keeping this speed up
for two hours easily. Among wild
animals the wolf is said to have the
most endurance. I'd like to see the
sport Of dog racing introduced in
America. The racing of greyhounds is
popular among the French. Why, /
wonder, don't we have it here?"-

Great Salt Lake MAY Rise.

The gauge at Garfield Beach, on
Great Salt Lake, showed on December
l, 1902, that the waters of the lake had
fallen eleven feet seven inches below
its level at the close of the year 1886,
the time of the last rise of the lake.
Many persons attributed this fall to
the draining away Of water used in
irrigating surrounding lands, but Mr..
Murdoch, of the Weather Bureau, said
recently that while part Of the fall
may have been due to that. the greater
part, he thinks, was due to the cycle
of relatively dry weather that has pre-
vailed since 1887. He thinks that a
cycle of wet weather would restore the
lake to the level it occupied in the six
ties and seventies.

formal inquiry be addressed to Gen
eral Baldwin asking whether or not he
had been correctly quoted. General
Baldwin is fresh from the Philippines.
The remarks he is reported to have
made were to the effect that one Of
his reasons for liking the Filipino as a
soldier was the same that gave him
a preference for the negro in the same
ca~pacity-that in a fight he was not
worried about his safety, as it made
no difference whether he was killed
or not.
