WRITES. REMARKABLE
EDUCATIONAL BOOK
Fort Worth Superintendent of Schools
Publishes Work Describing the
Evolution of Railways and
of Construction

"The Railroad in Education: Or What
Steam and Steel, Science and Skill Have
Done for the World is the title of a little
volume written by Alexander .Hogg, M.
A., LII. D., of Fort Worth. Tex, who
came to Los Angeles as delegate to the
N. e. A. convention.
The book had it's inception in an ad-
dress by the author-a plea for deep water
at Galveston, Tex.
The speech was repeated before the in
ternational congress of educators worlds
exposition, New Orleans
The book Is an evolution and shows
that steam as a motive power was known
1870 years before Christ. 1t is a faithful
record of the great engineering feats in
our country. Tells what the Roeblings and
other distinguished engineers have done,
especially for our own country. Recounts
the munificent gifts of the railroad man
ayers and owners-Thomas A. Scott, the
Vanderbilts, father son and grandson, of
John w. Garrett, George /. Seney, j. j.
| Hill and our own Leland Stanford, and
others have contributed to higher educa-
| ton.
The author asks: 'If Plutarch found in
F, his time lives worthy of the imitation
| In our age and in their sphere should not
some of our men be referred to as ex-
| amples for our youth?'
There are two discussions that will in
terest the scientific reader:
First-Will a train running upon a
parallel of latitude going east make better
time than the same train under similar
circumstances going west? The discussion
shows it will.
Second-Is an explanation of the strange
acts of our railroad men. This is en-
titled, "Why He Threw the Switch the
Wrong Way"
The description of our own Tehachapi
loop and the Georgetown loop are worthy
of the consideration and study of all our
young engineers The author says: "A
loop is happy device of engineering to
go through a mountain, by going around
it-a tunnel to go over mountain by
going through it."
There is also minute description of
the Pennsylvania tunnel under North
river, the city of New York, and under
East river and it's terminals in the city Of
New York and Brooklyn.
There Is also double page map show
ing how our continents may be united via
Behring strait. Two significant features
of this map-one Napoleon viewing his
armies (war); another Thomas Benton
pointing west and saying There is east,
there is India" In front of this per-
sonage are moving trains (peaceD
The last chapter Is entitled THE Three
Great Factors of Modern Civilization"-
the printing press, furnishing the matter;
the public school, preparing the reader
gand the railroad, carrying the printed
page to every hamlet village and city
before breakfast.
Take it all in all, though small, this is
a valuable contribution to our literature
and should be used in all our schools, both
church and state, as supplementary
reader.

HAS STAGED A HUNDRED
COMEDIES AND SKETCHES
Al Franks, Director of the Empire
Theater Stock Company, Claims
Long Distance Pacific
Coast Record

AL Franks, stage director and comedian
of the Empire theater stock company,
claims the Pacific coast long distance
record in his line of work and in support
of his claim calls attention to the fact
that he has staged and directed more
than 100 one-act comedies and sketches
since he became director of the Empire
upon its opening, June S, 1905.
That Mr.. Franks work has been ap-
preciated is attested by the popularity
of the company over which he presides.
While the Empire is vaudeville theater
it's stock company is prime favorite
with the clientele of the house, and for
this fact much of the credit is due to
Mr.. Franks.
The stage director belongs to a profess
sional family. He has four brothers
and three sisters, all of whom are upon
the stage. He is a Native Son, having
been born in 1874 in San Francisco.

GIRL SHOT DEAD; HER
SLAYER is UNKNOWN
Theresa MontcoIa, Sixteen, Victim OF
Shooting Which May Have Been
Accident-Case Presents
Mystery

Theresa Montcola. aged 16, whose home
was on the Crenshaw ranch, two miles
west of the city on the Washington street
road was shot and instantly Killed near
her home yesterday afternoon.
The shooting, according to the INDEFINITE
and incomplete information obtained py
the coroner's office, was an accident.
Who fired the shot is not known. IL was
first reported that brother of the young
girl in fooling with a revolver acclden-
tally discharged it and the bullet lodged
in her head, killing her instantly.
Last night it was stated by the coro-
ner's office that the shot had been hred
by a young man whose name was not
known, but that from information OBJ
tanned the shooting was accidental. The
sheriff's office had no information on the
subject last night and no arrests We're
made.
Deputy Coroner Clyde Sage is in charge
of the case and he states that an inquest
would be held Tuesday afternoon. In the
meantime the coroners office will invests
gate the matter and try and learn just
how the killing occurred.
The body of the girl was taken to the
rooms of a local undertaken, where IT will
be held until such time as the coroner
gives permission for the funeral to be
held
None of the relatives of the victim were
found last night, and while the case IS
presumed to be one simply of accident,
there is lack of information which lends
to 1t a mysterious and suspicious tinge.

utes after the accident and witnesses
thought she was killed.

TROUBLE BREWING OVER
THE SKIN OF A CANINE
GRATING OPERATION LEADS TO
CRITICISM
Physicians Use Puppies On Which to
Experiment and Humane So
ciety Takes Up cudgels
for Dog

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Trouble is brew
ing for the doctors of the Bradford street
hospital of Brooklyn. Persons living IN
the neighborhood of the hospital have
heen aroused to a pitch of Indignation
over a skin grating experiment mace IN
the hospital recently on two puppies Inc
experiment is described as "hendlsn, iool
ish and unnecessary by some ol 'hoee
who learned it's details.
An investigation of the analr mas oeen
started by the New York City Humane
society. The Brooklyn branch of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty 10
Animals may also take al hand in bringing
the experimenters to punishment II IL 10
found that this Is possible under the eA-
listing law.
The skin grating was not success.
The wounds in the sides of the puppies
did not heal They were killed after tour
davs THE experiment was performed by
a graduate of Johns Hopkins university,
one of the institutions which have carried
the fad for experimenting with living ami
mails tn a high degree OF development.
This doctor has devoted himself to at
tempts at making parts OF one amman
grow on the body of another,
According to DIR. A. A. Brown. in charge
of the Bradford street hospital, animals
when young are not keenly sensitive to
pain. Whether he includes young human
beings, which are also animals In the
wider sense, in this generalization is not
clear. At any rate the puppies, healthy
males, were ten days old. Under the in
fiuence of chloroform the hair was shaved
from two places on their sides, two circu-
lar pieces OF skin were cut out and the
two puppies were sewed together
s'The object was to see If the skin ar
terioles," said DR., Brown. "of the one

would unite healthily with the arterioles
of the other. 1t was never intended that
the puppies should live even If the ex-
pertinent had been successful. After four
days blood poisoning set in, 1t was seen
that the skin of these two puppies would
not grow together, and they were chloro-
formed to DEATH"
Dr. Brown maintains that the puppies
had known very little if any pain. On
the other hand, it is pointed out by the
humane persons who are stirred up over
the fate of the little animals, that they
lived tightly bound together with oper
wounds at their sides for several days,
and that the chloroforminG lasted only
while the operation was being performed.
They say too, that one can never be sure
in the anaesthetizing of animals; that the
use of the anaes tnetics is carried far
enough to render the animal completely
insensible to pain, and that the usefulness
of such experiments is very much to be
questioned 1t has been shown again and
again, they affirm, that experiments on
animals prove little in regard to the eff
fects of a similar operation on human be-
ings, and that in order to prove this skin
grating useful it would have to be done
with human subjects, and the next thing
in order then would be grating together
the infant children of some mother with
volunteered thus far.
New Law Needed
Representatives of the Humane society
are pessimistic of their ability to put any
restriction on experimentation of this sort
under the present law. At present the ex-
perimenter is at liberty to do as he
pleases so far as the law is concerned,
because he is exempted from the operation
of the penal code by a provision to the
effect that the punishment for infiicting
tortures upon animals shall not apply to
persons who are guilty of them in the
course of scientific research.
David Belais, president of the New
York City Humane society, said: I'VE
will see what we can do to put check
on this sort of thing. 1t is probable,
though, that out efforts will do nothing
more than show the necessity for the
passage of some such law as the Francis
bill. regulating experiments with living
animals, which was introduced in the
present legislature. Until we get a spe-
cific law providing for the supervision by
the state of vivisection, it is impossible
to guard abainst abuses, entailing suffer-
ing of the most atrocious sort on the part
OF animals subjected to the alleged exper-
iments."

WORLDS SMALLEST MAN
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
special to Tho Herald.

Special to Tho Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-George Kaizer
Jr., said to be the very smallest man in
the world, has arrived here on the Hol-
and-America line steamship Potsdam.
When he stepped ashore at Hoboken he
was Immediately lost in the crowd. He
was finally picked up by an inspector of
customs, placed aboard trunk and told
to stay there until after the inspection of
baggage on the pier.
Kaiser comes from Friesland, in Hol-
land. He is SO years of age and is
only thirty inches in height. He is look
ing for a job on some roof garden, but
has not yet been discovered either by a
manager or press agent.
He comes of family of giants, his
three brothers and two sisters being all
six-footers.
On board the Potsdam Kaiser was a
favorite. and the women in the first
cabin played "Who has the button with
Kaiser Kaiser being the button" Any
one of the men passengers was able to
hide the little man under his coat.
Kaiser is very intelligent, is perfectly
formed and does not look like the usual
dwarf.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 10.
19O7.-Mr. H. ]. Small, General

Southern Pacific. Dear Sir; In re-
ply to yours of August relative to
submitting our grievances to arbi-
tration, taking the evidence which
was given by us in conference
held in Los Angeles August 3, 1907,
we, the undersigned, do object and
give as our reasons that the facts
concerning the conditions that
really exist in the shops at Los
Angeles were not brought out
in the investigation. The ques-
tions asked us did not give us
chance to tell what we know or
have seen of Mr.. Carter's abusive
habits and unreasonable demands.
You did not allow your representa-
tives to question us as we expected
you would do. We also notice IN
the evidence collected by you that
you have omitted several state
ments that were made. in regard TO
Mr.. Carter's abusive language TO
men. We therefore think a decis-
ion rendered from aforesaid evil
dence If submitted to arbitration
would accomplish nothing Tor u.s.
as our past experience has SHOWN
us that labor has never got falr
decision by arbitration, and woulo
further state that we could never
again subject ourselves to Mr.. Car
ter's abuse, which is his nature TO
administer.
