After a preCariOus existence OF
eighteen years William and Mary

Legislature, made a State insti-
Triton. This is indeed a great
epoch in the history Of this veneer

nual appropriations from the
Legislature, while she was not
entirely State institution. Half
Of the Board of Visitors were APP
pointed by the Governor. while
the other half filed their own
vacancies. The whole board is
now appointed by the Governor.
BY this act William and Mary is
placed on an equal footing with
the Y. p. l., and the university
and other State Institutions. The
bill provides for an endowment
fund of 500. 600, an annual ap-
preparation OF $4,000 and ar
extra appropriation of $40, 5cc
for improvements ON sewerage,

.SLEUTHS TO WAR
ON REFORM BILL

Senator Cooper, OF Brooklyn. has in
tro5uced at Albany a bill which con-
templates abolition Of the Central Of
fee Bureau, the relegaEion of the pres
ent detectlve-sergeants to patrol duty
and tho creation of a Bureau of Grim
inal Investigation.
The Committee OF Nine, appointed last
year to propose reforms in the Police
Depar ment, requested Cooper to pre-
sent the resolution. The bill had nre-
vious.y been submitted to Mayor Nc
Clellan and Commissioner Bingham and
they said that they would not oppose It..
It is known, however, that the detec-
tive-sergeants. who have already fought
one legislative bill affecting their inter-
ests, are prepared to marshal opposi-
ton to the proposed measure. and if
money is needed they and their friends
are able t. raise n large sum. There
is no secret about 81.
Under the law as II stands any pa troll
man assigned to detective work be-
comes permanent detective-sergeant,
with a sergeants rank and pay. Even
though it proves thar ne has no detec-
live ability or fails to develop any, he
must remain a detective. He cannot be
reduced unless the Commissioner can
prove at Il t.ial that he has been guilty
Of something appnoac ching criminal Of.

THE BANANA PLANT.
Each Tree Produces Only Gne Bunch
of the Fruit.

Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly a
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t is
large, green, f1eShy plant, with big
! leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. 1t grows to a
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety of
plant and the soil and climate Each
tree produces one bunch Of fruit only,
which is really the terminal bud of the
plant, just like an ear Of wheat or
barley. 1t has no branches, and when
the fruit is ready, which is twelve or
fifteen months from the date Of plant
ing, the tree is cut down and done
with.
But while it is growing up and ma
turing it's fruit it is at the same time
sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckers perhaps eight or
nine of them. Each of these will pro-
duce its own bunch in turn, some of
them in q couple of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be a
regular succession of fruit. Many Of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant it at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once banana field
has been planted out, all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep it clear of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
Dlying suckers.

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga March 30.-The bulls
were reinforced with several things
this mornln g. one being reports of rain
in the belt, and especially In Alabama,
accompanied by complaints ola gloomy
feeling among planters. Next was q
report from Bremen of less cotton there
on a recount by 80, 600 bales than sup
posed and these developments enabled
the clique TO push May up points af
ter loss of four points. They ed
vanced May to Ills, but at this point
some selling orders appeared, mainly
from bulls, and the result was flesh
downstart, which did not cease untiI
May went to 11.04 and July to 10 "a,
when the activity prevailing up to that
time subsidized,
AS the market showed weakness,
selling on stop orders assumed large
scale; but the appearance of support
ing orders for May from the clique ar
re sted the decline. The trading was
characterized by nervousness as for
some days past, the disposition to buy
being checked by forecast for good
weather tomorrow. Covering of shorts
in the afternoon wiped out all of the
loss and wire houses were doing rather
more business, the trade being infu-
enced by a statement from Mr.. Price
that he is still bull and expects q
higher market. The result was SUBJ
stantial advance and broadening of
speculation. Liverpool is due to come
7 higher in the morning.

THE PLANET MERCURY.
Like Venus and For Like Cause, 1t l.
Now a Dead World


Mercury is body devoid, practical
ly If not absolutely, of air, of water
and of vegetation. Consequently it is
Incapable of supporting any of those
higher organisms which we know as
living beings. Its surface is vast
desert. 1t is rough rather than smooth
Whether this roughness be due to
mountains proper or to craters we are
too far away from it to be able
yet to say. The latter is the more
probable. Over the greater part of it's
surface change either diurnal or sea
Sonal is unknown Three-eighths of its
surface is STEPPED in perpetual glare,
three-eighths shrouded in perpetual
gloom, while the remaining quarter
slowly turns between the two. The
planet itself, as world is dead
Interesting as Mercury thus proves
to be, the interest as regards the plan
ct itself is Of rather corpselike char
acter. Less deterrent perhaps is the
interest it possesses as a part of the
life history of the solar system, for
tidal friction, the closing act in the
cosmic drama, has brought it where ii
u.s. The machine has run down.
Whether it ever supported life upon it's
surface or not, the power to do SO has
now forever passed away. Like Venus
and for like cause, it is now a dead
world. And it was the first thus to
reach the end of its evolutionary ca
reer, earlier to do so than Venus, in
asmuch as tidal action was very much
greater upon it than on Venus and con-
sequently produced its effect more
quickly Mercury has long been dead.
How long,. measured by centuries, we
cannot say, but practically for a very
long time Venus must have become
so comparatively recently, Both, how
ever, now have finished their course
and have in most literal sense enter
ed into their rest.
