Wanted to Get In.
From Harper's Weekly.


A prominent physician in Baltimore re-
Gently perpetrated a witticism at his own
expense. 1t was late at night. The doctor
had lost his night key; the door was locked;
he was cold from long ride, and the more
he rang the night bell the more the sus-
picion grew in his mind that some one had
chloroformed the entire household Finally.
however, his sister was aroused by a long
ring of the bell. Naturally she thought
that there was some one at the door who
wished to see the doctor; and that as the
doctor was out, she would herself have to
answer the summons, else the caller would
keep her awake for long time. So hastily
throwing a loose gown over her night dress,
she hurried to the door. Opening the door
the least bit, in order not to present her
dishabille to an intruding eye, she shouted
through the crack, in tone of sleepy i'm
patience: 1.-THE Doctors out" and was
about to close the door. when the physician
thrust one foot through, at the same time
exclaiming: Yes. l know the Doctors out:
but he wants to get in!''

Russian Liquor Monopoly.
E Philadelphia Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The two purposes of Minister WHITE in es-
tablishing government monopoly OF the
liquor traffic in Russia were to diminish
drunkenness by making 1t more difficult to
obtain intoxicants, and to increase the
revenues. The time is still too short to
determine fairly the effect of the system
on inebriety, but there has been a positive
financial gain to the government. 1t cost
$73.OOO.OOO from 1898 to 1901 to put the
scheme in operation. During that time the
income from the business covered not only
this outlay, but also the running expenses.
the rebates of duty (more than SIT .O00. COO,
and the $6,0O0,O0O donated to temperance
societies, and left surplus of $3.50. COO In
the year 1901 the receipts from the traffic
were $S1, 100000 and the current expenses
were $62, SOC. 900, leaving a net profit of &c.
200. 900. In addition. the tax on liquor re-
turned sos, 800 600. The years sales from
the government stores amounted to 133, Co.,
600 gallons. The moral effect OF the monop-
oily is less apparent. In 1899 there were
10 23i government stores for the retail sale
OF liquors. and there were discovered e.2O3
Illicit stores or "speakeasies." The peasant
members of the conference in the district
of Saratof declared that there Is no APP
parent decrease of drunkenness, and that,
as there are no drinking saloons, the peo-
pie get drunk openly in the Streets that the
secret and illegal sale of liquors Is ex-
tending, and that the rural communities
have lost the considerable revenue formerly
derived from saloon licenses.

Hospital Ships for Drunkards.

From the Chicago Journal.
An expert on the treatment of alcoholic
patients told social science club the other
day that there should be hospital ships for
habitual drunkards. What he meant was
the isolation Of inebriates on the lake. or
In the harbor, in vessels fitted up for that
purpose. 1t is an old British idea and has
worked well. The inebriate is simply re-
moved from the possibility of a relapse un-
til he is mentally and physically equipped
for again renewing the battle with tempta-
ton.
Dr. Mix wisely says that the present sys-
tenn of throwing drunkards indiscriminate-
ly into the bridewell is archaic and IRA
tional. He might have put 1t stronger and
pronounced 1t public crime. The commu-
nity's duty to itself should impel it to rec
ognixe drunkenness as a disease requiring
rational treatment. The two stages that all
habitual drunkards must pass through, in a
rational attempt to save them, are the
physical stage, when the poison and It's et-
fects must be driven from the system and
the mental stage, when every atom Of will
power in the patient must be inspired to re-
new the fight. The latter is by far the more
important, and can be successfully under
taken only in properly equipped isolation

System Of Physical Training.

System Of Physical Training.
Capt. Nathan 8. Jarvis, U. 8. A.. retired.
lieutenant colonel N. G. N. Y. strongly adj
vocates a broader and more thorough sys-
tenn of physical training for the organized
militia He comedies that 1t Is difficult,
II not impossible, to establish such sys-
tenn on lines similar to those of the system
in vogue in the army, but he Is convinced
that much could be done by tnstftuting
vfdual soldiers powers of resistance to dis
ease. Capt. Jarvis holds that armory drills
are OF limited value as means OF physical
training for the militia and that, more
over, they afford only slight test either
of intelligence or military fitness. On the
other hand, he contends that practice
marches In the country are of the utmost
advantage to all classes of militia soldiers;
not only do they develop the automat1sm
so essential to the infantryman. but they
accustom the men to their equipments ana
teach many details pertaining to the ad.
justment of weights. This is a feature OF
training upon which much stress Is laid in
the European armies. 1t rs a common oc-
currence in the French army TO see the men
appear at the daily routine drills with
blanket roll or knapsack on the back.
'It- is the writer's opinion" says Capt.
Jarvis. that If the idea OF physical train
ing under competent and wise supervision
be adopted In the organized militia, young
soldier will feel in later life that he has
been more than repaid for his enthusiasm
and time expended; in return. he will have
to his credit we'll set up and manly
physique, fund of health and love Tor
bene1cent exercise which is not ordinarily
obtanable in civil life To the authorities,
on the other hand, the reward will be a
physically competent, alert and present
able body of men. who may be expected 10
meet the demands of service, with far less
disastrous results than on former Occa-
sions in the history of the republic. IN
conclusion, we desire to have 1t understood
that physical training, as we have at
tempted to advise, is no Endorsement or the
armory contests, as the writer has witnessed
them Such trials of speed or strength
more often subject the contestants to
strain which not infrequently does grave
harm and units them for military service,
and it must be further remembered that
such contests are an encouragement TO
specialsm In athletics. rather than wise
use Of the principles of general develop
ment. The scorching bicyclist. for instance,
is a particularly fit subject for rejection by
recruiting officers. and in our opinion sows

An apparatus intended Tor observing

ciety. II consists Of a set OF seven
coherers of graduated sensitiveness.
connected with an ~antenna. One of the
coherers, viz, the most sensitive. Is
placed in a circuit closed through a
Claude relay, while the remaining CO.
herers, which are Of gradually increas-
ing constituencies, are arranged in open
circuits, so that their sensitiveness Is
reduced in a constant proportion.
AS an atmospherieal discharge acts

A NEW SUN DIAL.
Device Which Win Indicate Standard
Time or Local Time of Any
Particular Place.

The ordinary sun-dial naturally indi-
Gates sun-time, and the sun as a time
piece is not accurate, because its motion
is not uniform throughout the year. A
el4l that will indicate standard time,
or the local time of any particular place.
ii desired, has been paterted by Albert
c. Crehore, of Workers. \. Y. The IL
iustration represents one Of Mr.. Gre.
hores dials made for Sir William
Preece and SET up at his place at Carna-
Won, North Wales. Others are at the
University of Ohio, Northwestern uni
Versity, and elsewhere. The Crehors
dial, as described in The Optical Instru-
ment Monthly New York;, is one solid
piece Of bronze, except the face. which
Is IN engraved bronze cylindrical sheet
whose axis is inclined to the horizontal
plane at an angle equal to the latitude
Of the place and points directly north.
The shadow is cast by a small bead held
by a wire kept stretched bya spring,
AS shown in the picture. The scientific
principle on which the dial depends Is
thus described by The inventor in a com
munication 10 the periodical above
uamed. He says:
The relative motion of the sun ard
earth Is such that the SUMS apparent
path in the heavens, when mapped with
reference to the horizon plane III some
lEed locality, is only completed so that
the sun begins to describe approximate
" the same path once every year. 1t
G not describe quite the same path
because of several component moti2ns
OF very long period, which are for the
present purposes Of the second order OF
magnitude and may be neglected. Con-
sidering the suns path results from two
component motions, the rotation of the
earth On its axis once per day and the
revolution in its orbit one per year, it
will he seen that this path is one con-
tinuOus curve which Is approximately
completed only once a year, and will
be rerraCed each succeeding year. Eacn
day the path is almost a complete circle,
but the circle is not quite closed, as the
path the following day is a similar circle
very near the preceding one, so that the
path resembles a screw-thread except
that the pitch of the screw is not uniform
throughout the year, but changes from
its maximum at the time of the equi-
X to zero at the solstices.
