Governor Murphy's voluntary with
drawal from the State. without putting
in workable form the commission on

tention to kill the demands by the refer
enee of this legislative enquiry 10 a legis-

positively declined the appointment, and
justices Gummere and Garrison have
asked to be relieved, and there are but
two members of commission of FIVE

powerless and unless the Governor shall
make new appointments, the whole sub

"One has but to glance over the list
of papers devoted to nature and out-of-
door recreation" /" writes John Burroughs
in his regular department in April
Outing, ITO see what host of nature
lovers there are in the country" This
is true statement and gives rise to the
question: Has the present group of
popular naturalists, Burroughs, Seton,
Job, Long, and the rest, established
new literary school? That they have
created a new and attractive study, that
they have stimulated and diffused a
helpful knowledge of the world we live
in, we all know. Have they, however,
made the impress on American letters
that James Thompson and later William
Wordsworth did on English poetry? We
can only speculate on the question. Con-
temporary Judgment is never conclusive
A South American revolution, the
plague ana raging yellow fever are

The Tomato.

The tomato has curious history
After the revolution of Santo Do
mingo many French families came
from there to Philadelphia, where they
introduced their favorite 'pomme
d'amour." Although introduced from
South America as early as 1886 into
England. it was looked upon with sus-
picion and its specific name, lycopersi-
cum. derived from lykos (wolf) and
persikon "a peach, referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance of
its fruit. intimates pretty closely the
kind Of estimation in which it was
held It is now, however, almost
universally used.

Hand Labor and slow Methods when
the rnduAtry was New.
The first really efficient lucifer match
must be put 10 the credit Of Mr.. John
Walker Of Stockton-on-Tees, who In
the year 1877 placed them on the mar
ket under the name Of "Congreyes.v in
compliment to Sir William Congreye.
the inventor Of the war rocket. These
matches were sold for shilling box,
which contained, besides few dozen
Of the matches, little piece of folded
sandpaper, through which each splint
Of wood had to be drawn before it
could be made to indame. An original
tin box, stamped with the royal arms
and bearing the word "Congreye," is
preserved as a curiosity in one Of the
London museums.
AS in the case Of all other industries.
this one was initiated by hand labor
alone. The splints Of wood were no
doubt originally dipped in the igniting
composition one by one, but subse-
quently they were tied up in bundles
and dipped en- bloc, the workman Civ
ing each bundle twist with his hands
so that the end Of each splint would
be free to move to q certain extent
and absorb little more Of the com
pound than it would If kept quite still.
The next advance was to fix the splints
in frame SO that each was separated
from Its neighbor. and this frame, con-
tanning about 1900 matches, would be
brought down on a marble slab upon
which the composition was spread,
The tipped matches. still in their
frame, would then be dried in air for
a few hours and afterward placed in
heated chamber to complete their
desiccation Manual labor is now al
most wholly dispensed with in the
manufacture of matches. The employ
ment Of yellow phosphorus for the
charging of matches made the indus
try very unhealthy one, and the
workpeople If not in the best of
health. ran the risk of contracting
terrible disease known as necrosis of
the jawbone, the vulgar name for
which was 'phossy jaw" With I'm
proyements in manufacture this evil
has now been eliminated. Chambers.
