There Is singular floral freak called
the occasional flower for the reason
that 1t has no particular time to bloom.
1t Is said that when closed the occa-
sional flower Is in color and form some
thing like a ripe poppy head, but with
the stem attached. Submerged In a
bowl of water for a few minutes and
then taken out and placed by its stem
in an empty bottle, the outer petals
begin In several minutes to open out.
This process is slow, but distinctly no
ticeable. The petals continue to rise
and to expand until they gradually re-
cede. When this action Is completed
1t resembles In appearance the sun
flower The occasional flower remains
thus open for a few hours, during
which tima, the state of humidity less
ening by degrees, the fiber begins to
shrink and the petals close up grad
ually in the same way that they open
ed until tie flower resumes It's former
position. 1t Is said that, properly nour
ished, with regard to temperature and
air, and carefully handled, the occa-
sional flower never decaye 81 Gegensr-

About PAVING

Selected by A. G. c., for the JOURNAL.
They took a little gravel,
And they took a little tar,
With various ingredients,
Imported from afar,
They hammered 1t and rolled it,
And when they went away,
They said they had pavement,
That would last for many day.
But they came with picks and smote
it,
To lay water main,
And then they called the workmen,
To put it back again,
To run a railway cable,
They took it up some more,
And then they put it back again,
Just where it was before.
They took it up for conduits,
To run the telephone,
And then they put it back again,
AS hard as any stone;
They took it up for wires,
To feed the electric light,
And then they put it back again,
Which was no more than right.
Ohlthe pavements are full Of furrows
There are patches everywhere,
You'd like to ride upon it,
But it's seldom that you dare.
Its a very handsome pavement,
A credit to the town;
They're always digging of it up,
Or putting of it down.

Teachers Institute At Cape May

AeuCucrS AmStltutG NJ C1Pe u40y
About $50 teachers of Cape May and
Cumberland counties are expected to
be In attendance at the annual county
teachers institute which will be held
at Cape May on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, November IA, Is and
Is. All the sessions will be held in the
High School Assembly room and will
continue during the day and evening.
The State board has made many pre-
parations for this gathering Of teachers
and expect the institute to be one OF
the most successful ever held. The
program for each day has been COM
pleted and includes list Of speakers
who will surely present matters OF
great interest and instructiveness to
the teachers and public. A great part
Of the program will be taken up with
the discussion Of nature study and
elementary agriculture. State Super
intendent Baxter is strongly advocating
the introduction into all schools in
New Jersey Of course in agriculture.
He feels that the boys from the farm
should be taught the advantages OF
remaining at home and has, as a re-
suit. arranged for discussion of agri-
cultural subjects at the county institute.
The list of speakers is made up OF
Prof. Austin G. Apgar, Of Trenton
State Normal School; Miss Sarah j.
McNary, of Trenton State Normal
School, and Prof. Louis Bevier, Jr.,
State Inspector of High Schools. Prof.
Apgar is cent to present the lectures on
nature study and elementary agricul-
ture. Miss McNary is one of the best
teachers of English in this section OF
the United States and will be sure to
interest the teachers. She and Profs.
Apgar and Bevier make an exceeding
ly strong combination.
There will be two evening lectures.
Both will be instructive and of much
merit. On Wednesday evening Prof.
Bevier will lecture on Literature and
Life" and on Thursday evening Prof.
Apgar will speak on Sealing Insects
and Their Ravages."
The first session of institute will be
held Wednesday and the adjournment
made Friday afternoon.

The Thoroughfare Catastrophe


The dark waters of the Thoroughfare
at Atlantic City masks one of the
cruelest and most heart-rending trag-
edies ever chronicled. Oh Thorough
fare! grief-stricken relatives are APP
palled at the ravages occasioned by
thy liquid death. The waters that
flow through thy sinuous course can
never wash out the black despair, or
obliterate the horror occasioned by thy
ill-fated existence. Deep down in the
blackness and darkness of thy depths
paternal, material and infantile forms
lie still and cold iD dsofhx uneof1in1T
,I,-l u1..-kended arhen-sI reffSS4gsn
thy ceaseless wash as thou speed out to
sea. After mature reflection we must
frankly admit that this terrible catas-
trophe is only a price levied on the
human family by progression. The,
now, notorious third rail system is not
unlike other great inven ntions and i'm
provements. The ushering in of
OallOOnby lOtOAhCtiNCoy
ships, submarine boats, steamboats,,
have all been attended with great
accidents In which casualties have
been large. The third rail system is
only in its infancy. The passing of
time, coupled with human ingenuity,
will gradually eliminate the risk and
danger now uncomfortable. The
price seems exorbitant, but we must
pay or retrograde. AS time glides
by the present horror will pail be-
fore some other catastrophe occa-
stoned by the launching of some
great achievement. Then the electric
car will speed by unnoticed and the
silent waters of the Thoroughfare will
have given up its dead and the present
anguish will be replaced by sad sweet
memory of those who sacrificed their
lives upon the altar Of progression.

SEARCH FOR TYPHOID CASES
Chicago Physicians Who Fail to Re

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Analysis by the
physicians in the health department
of the blood of persons suspected of
suffering of typhoid fever shows an
increase of 80 per cent of the dread dis
ease. The officials of the health de-
partment are working strenuously to
secure a complete list of the persons
suffering from the disease. DR.. Her
man Spalding, in charge of the con-
tagious department of the health bu-
reau, said it was his opinion this rep
resented more than one-half Of those
i'll Of typhoid. According to his be-
lief there are almost 125 eases in the
city.
The health department has issued a
pamphlet that sets forth the duty of a
physician In time of an epidemic. 1t
says a record of every case of typhoid
fever must be sent to the health de-
partment and failure to comply with
the provision means a fine of from $40
to $500. The health officers are still

of the opinion it is not the water sup
ply that is responsible for the outbreak
in Chicago. All the inspectors spent
yesterday in visiting milk depots and
examining the cans and their contents.
1t is amitted that some of the milk
that finds its way into the city is d.
luted, and the inspectors fear that
water that is far from wholesome is
used In the dilution.
More cases of typhoid fever We're
reported in Evanston yesterday. There
are now ten cases in the Evanston
hospital and eight in St. Francis hos
pital. South Evanston. besides num-
erous cases scattered thruout Evans
ton and Wilmette. The Evanston doc
tors are divided in their opinions of the
probable causes of the fever. Some be-

that 1t is the milk. fruit and other
things consumed as food.
