The Coming Existence.

A recent storm Frustrated telegraph
wires, and for three days New York
City was without communication with
the great commercial cities of the
South and West. The wireless tele-
graph in another year will be in work
ing order all over tue United States,
and weather conditions will be power
less to interrupt communication. The
rapid development Of suburban rail-
way traffic has got beyond the ability
Of the steam locomotive, and the cleo
trio machine is ready to take up the
work. New Ycrk's great population
could no longer be Eaulcd in steam
cars. and the electric lighted and cleo

relief. The surface tf the earth is no
longer able to carry people back and

A Physician's' Symposium.

The New York County Medical So
ciety discussed the question Of alcohol
in an important symposium held re-
Gently at the New York Academy Of
Medicine.
Professor Chittenden, of Yale Univer-
sity, took up the question of "Alcohol
in Health" and declared that alcohol
should not be used except under the
advice of physicians. DR.. Peabody, in
speaking Of alcohol in Disease"
showed that for a large number Of all
ments substitutes had been found less
injurious and more effective. -
MIR. Atkinson, the chemist Of the
New York Board of Health, pointed
out the dangers Of wood alcohol"
showing it's poisonous effects on dogs.
This was apparent in the profound
coma which it produced. He concluded
that it was one of the most dangerous
Of all the alcohols, and should be re-
stricted and guarded in its use. The
New York State Deputy Commissioner
of Excise, Mr.. Clement, of Albany,
spoke of the Legislative Aspects of
Alcohol" Endorsed the Raines law and
argued from various statistics that 1t
had diminished crime and pauper1sm
throughout the State. Substitutes for
Alcohol" was discussed by DR.. Fitz-
patrick. He claimed that pure water,
fresh air and improved hygienic infu-
ences would diminish the demand for
spirits, and discussed at some length
the various drugs which were superior
to alcohol as tonics and stimulants.
Professor Lusk, of Bellevue College,
in the discussion which followed, spoke
of the chemistry of alcohol.
DR.. T. D. Crothers spoke OF the IN
difference Of the profession toward the
subject of alcohol, and declared that it
was a medical topic, and yet less than
200 physicians in the country had
taken interest enough in tie subject
to appear as teachers and students,
while on the other hand yer a million
persons were joined in associations
and efforts to remedy and prevent the
evils from alcohol. He declared that
unless the subject was taken up by
medical men and discussed as any
other problem in science would be, lit
tie advance could be made.
Hon. De Lancy Nicholl, former Dis
trict Attorney Of New York, spoke of
the injurious effects Of alcohol seen
from a legal standpoint, and declared
that no good work could be expected
from persons who depended on this
drug. DR.. l.. n. Mason, Of Brooklyn,
N. Y, discussed the economic side,
showing the tremendous losses to So
ciety, to individuals and others from
the use Of this drug, and predicted
that the time would come when alcohol
would be regarded by the medical pro-
fession as one of the most serious
threatening evils Of civilization. He
urged the profession to take up this
subject and teach the public the real
danger.
This symposium was remarkable as
showing the changed sentiment among
physicians concerning alcohol. Evil
IDENTIFY the subject is attracting atter-
ton. in the profession to a degree OF
greater prominence than ever before.

Crothers and Mason We're known as

writings, and yet all recognized the
evils and in a way more d. less timid
pointed out the possible means Of eS

DR.. R. +. Horton, on the second 81

treatment by a celebrated German

He was waiting in the oculist's g

not the remainder of his life was to-

Subtcrranean Dwellings T. ireland.

An interesting find of subterranean
dwellings Of primitive man has been
made in County Antrim, thus, in all
probability, establishing the presence
at one time in that part of Ireland Of
a race which occupied 4 great part Of
the European Continent before the APP
pearance Of the earliest Celt. 1t is
held by many authorities that the
Lapps are the living representatives
of the early race to which these under
ground dwellings are ascribed. It
seems also extremely likely that a
large proportion of the fairy lore Of
the later races is derived from the
actual existence Of these little people,

a FAMOUS ORANGE TREE.
It's Romantic History n Its Numerous
Descendants.

II the nursery of "Fruitlands," on
the outskirts of Augusta. Georgia,
stands a peculiar orange tree. which
has had a more romantic history and
is represented by more varied descend
ants than almost any ether tree in the
country. 1t is a thcrny bush, green
even in winter, although its leaves are
gone and looks moro like a hedge
plant than an orange tree, in spite OF
the tiny yellow balls which ornament
it's branches.
When Japan was thrown open to
Western commerce, its quaint plants
and shrubs were among the first things
to attract attention to it. Tiny orange
trees. so small that they grew in tubs
and could be set on a stand in an Or
binary room, yet so perfect that they
produced blossoms and fruit in season,
and so gnarled that they were evident
" very, very old, were brought to
America to ornament the conservator-
les of p~lant-loyers. American garden
ers sought in vain tie stock when
was the basis for these dwarfs. The
Japarese were willing to export the
product. but they kept the secret safe
" at home. 1t was evidently q grated
tree. and from its seeds a variety OF
things, none of them like the o 9
stalk, were obtained.
Some of the earliest of the iEporta-
tons came to Fruitlands. Many died.
One of those which died was thrown
out On a heap of rubbish, became bur
led. and was forgotten. After a while.
however. an odd plant was discovered
to be coming up in the rubbish-heap,
and on investigation it was found that
the dwarf tree had sprouted from the
roots. Of course all the fruit, and
consequently the seeds of the plant,
had come from above the graft, and so
had been hybrids, partaking chiefly OIL
the characteristics of the bud instead
of the root; but this new stalk came
from below the graft, and was w
child of the root-a BIT of TIC geEuinc,
long-sought stock.
That carefully nursed end guarded
fapling is the odd-shaoeG bu.h in the
Fruit?ands garden. As soon as 1t be-
gan to bear fruit it's seeds were plant-
ed and guarded as carefully as the
original stalk. Year after year all the
seeds were planted, and even the seeds
of the new plants, till It last the
nursery was we'll stccEcL with the
thorny Citrus trifoliata.
Commercial oranges ere blends CT
many varieties. 4 delicate tree bear
ing a sweet fruit may be grated upon
a hardy root, and thereafter the new
plant swill be hardy and bear sweet
oranges. Seedlings frcrl il may be
worthless. but trees p~ropagated by
cuttings retain the sweetness and the
hardy qualities. Citrus trifoliata is
extremely hardy and very productive.
So upon the Seeding of this tree has
been grated almost an infinite variety
of other fruits to obtain cCDnc-cial
trees.
Orchards all over tho country, and
in fact in all parts of the world where
oranges are grown. are stocked with
descendants of Citrus %trifoliata, al
though of course not all are from this
stock so oddly obtained, for about the
time this fortunate accidental discov-
cry was made in Georgia other garden
ers succeeded in wrectiag the secret
from the japanese end bringing over
seedlings.

courts a suit that for novelty beat any
thing anyone ver heard Of. 1t was
a suit to recover a sum of money for
the deprivation of the company of a

bird dog, took it out Of the city one day
with the c%onnivance of another man.
The dog did not belong to either OF
them. and the owner soon found trace
Of it. By the plentiful use CT war talk

Actors and Rehersals.

The question of the payment Of act
OFFS during rehearsal time is n that
naturally agit-tes actors and actresses
a good deal; anC when one hears, as
one frequently does, Of 4 play in busy
rehearsal for six or even eight weeks,
often involving heavy and late night
work. the case for the payment of such
labor certainly seems a strong me.
To add to the severity of such in
stances, the performances thus labor
iously prepared sometimes fail to at
tract the public, and all that the actor
has to chow fer eight or ten weeks
work may be 4 couple CT weeks pay.
One manager does, we believe, pay half
salaries after the third week. That
seems generous; probably fourth salar-
les would be regarded Is sufficient.
One result of some such arrangement
would be that, f0r the sake Of the
management. the rahear3al3 would be

became thoroughly chilled and finally
