, kAsHh much as $15, 900 a case, 1t is said-it was natural for it's rulers to adopt com mon sense policy of prevention,
 There are at the present time nearly two thousand school doctors in Japa- nese public schools, their work being to guard the children against disease, especially tubAretdosis. No wonder that, until q very short time ago. the United States was called the un- civilized country which neglects it's it's children by leader of the rnedi- cal profession in Europe.
 This is no longer true. On the con- trary, the progress which has been made in New York and a few other cities would, if their example was generally followed througout the coun- try, make it possible to say that the United States leads the world in this important work.
 The first decided step forward was taken when the ystem of school nurses was introduced in New York. They attended to the minor eases in the school, keeping them under proper su- pervlsion. Visiting the homes of the children who were excluded, they reached many cases of suffering child ren below school age and helped many of the mothers to a better under standing of the needs of their children.
 The extension of the school doctors s functions came next The excessive prevalence of granular lids" or trachoma led to a great deal of atten- tlon being given to the whole subject of defective vision among the school children. It was found, not only in the crowded districts of New York city, but in many other parts of the coutnry that a very large percentage of child ren in the schools were suffering from defects of vision so serious as to hind | CT their progress more or less serious ly.
 Of 1000 children examined in New York S3 1-3 per cent had defective vision In more than r per cent. oi the cases the defects were serious enough to interfere with the chances oi l earning a living.
 How important this work is may b. ! judged by the fact that in the twelve months ended March 31 1903 out O 79,O65 children examined no less thar 5O,91S were found to be in need O. treatment of some kind. In thousand' of cases the dietary of the children wal at fault; covered; 27,0O0 cases of dis eased glands; 1900 cases of cardiac dis ease, and so on through long list O disorders.
 For the first time in the history O American school inspections an exten sive investigation of the conditions O the children's teeth was made with tn, alarming results that almost were re ported as having teeth, so defective a to menace their health. In this partic
 ular little in the way of remedial ac'
 tion has been attempted, as there ar
 no dental clinics connected with tn
 schools.
 Most of the children require medica
 care, but small percentage requir surgical treatment A typical case that of a lad of 19 in one of the larges
 schools in New York. "When I frs

JOHN W. BACON DEAD.
Prominent Danbury Man Who Built Many Branch Railroads.

Danbury, Feb. 27-John w. Bacon, prominent citizen of Danbury and well known about the state, died here this afternoon in his eightieth year. He was born in Hartford in 1927, and was graduated from Trinity college in 1S46. He first studied law but afterwards be- came a civil engineer. Tn the latter ca pacity he laid out and built the portion of the New York and New England railroad betr-een Hartford and Willim antic, and now the Highland division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad This work included the laying out and building of the Un- ion station and its approaches at Hart ford.

Following this he became su- perintendent and chief engineer of the Danbury and Norwalk railroad, and while holding this position built the RollCPdQS leil4IOcbu Iulll4llS OCGWSSIH Bethel and Litchfeld, and now the Litchfeld branch of the New Haven road. He also built the line connect ing Branchville and Ridgeield.
 In 1877 Governor Hubbard appointed MT. Bacon a member of the board of railroad commissioners, a position which he held for ten years. Later he became a member of the federal govern ment commission which made a topo- graphical survey of Connecticut. For the past forty years he was engaged in the banking business in this city, hav- ing been successively director, treas urer and at the time of his death presi- dent of the Savings Bank of Danbury, and director of the Danbury Nation al bank.

Rich, of the local club, were the features at the open meet at the Brook line swimming club tonight. The con- test between the Harvard and Yale swimming teams was one of the regular intercollegiate series and Harvard cap- tured five of the seven events.
 In the invitation race Daniels and Ria!: had two dead heats and in the third Daniels won by four inches in Il 4-5 seconds. It was said that this time was a worlds record for the dist ance. The Yale freshmen beat Har- yard freshmen in an exciting relay race. Summary:

 q suggested that there might be some physical defect, that the wide open mouth indicated the presence of oadendi growths, and asked that he might be examined by the school doc tor Not only was the boy found to be suffering from enlarged tonsils and adenoid growths behind his noise, but his sight proved to be very defective. Large letters which ought to have been visible to him at a distance of sixty feet could barely be distinguished at one-third that distance.
 "The removal of the adenods and cutting of the tonsils was an exceeding ly slight matter, but tremendously i'm podtant to the boy. The adenoids pre- vented proper breathing, causing him to keep his mouth continually open; as result of the defective breathing hie blood was not sufficiently oxygenized, and though he might eat an abundance of food he was in consequence i'll nourished.
 An enormous number of school hell dren of all classes suffer adenoid
 growths, and it is astonishing to ob- serve the unconcern and ignorance of their parents concerning their condi-
 ton. They do not realize that the
 gaping and mouth breathing is some-
 thing more than bad habit which the children will outgrow; that it is a | manifestation of a disease which is often the precursor of tuberculosis"

 mounted upon tough paper. In this manner they are sometimes used in- stead of wall paper. producing an effect of richness and splendor in the adorn- ment of large halls.
 Trees that grow slowly, in poor soil produce the best veneers, the texture of the wood being close and firm.s A bath of steam or water is applied to the logs to expand the wood, and then the logs are placed in a machine that resembles a huge lathe. A keen knife extends the length of the log, and as the log revolyes the knife pares off a sheet of veneer.
 Great skill Is required in applying the veneer, especially to large or rounded surfaces. It dries for six to ten days, and then it is polished.
 As the walnut trees are fast dlsap- bearing and the prices paid for them are increasing, the possibility of grow ing the trees for profit begins to at tract attention. The fact that the in- yestor must wait generation for his profits however, serves to deter most persons from taking up the project. Henry Haak, who recently died in Leb- anon county, was firm believer in the profit of walnut trees, and he had planted thousands of them upon his lands within ten years.
 When the pastor of congregation in the PerlTlomen Valley sold fine old walnut tree on his lawn many of the ! people of the village criticosed his lack of sentiment. Well, said the clergy hman, its with the trees as with hu- man beings. The general public doesn't ! know their good points until they're gone. Nobody ever thought of prais- ing that tree until it was cut down."

 There is a soft place in our deer
 sea fishers hearts for the bird which , follows them in and out all the year round, and shows them in seasons
 the most likely places to cast theii
 nets. The fisherman keeps his eye lifting as he sails, and notes where the
 gulls fly or swoop down and strike al
 sometting in the water invisible tC human sight at a distance.
 Often this is the only guide they
 have for shooting their nets; so they are friendly with the birds and love them in a fashion, and do not be- grudge them a share of the spoil Then, when the nets are all aboard the seagull flies ilomeward before the boats, announcing with shrill cries the return of the men to the women whc awake and make ready.
 Fishermen say that gulls sometimes attach themselves to certain boats and
 bring them luck" following them al sea and resting always on the same spars when in harbor. The men feed them casually with broken fish and offal as they strut between their legs ashore, and they are so tame that those who know them may catch them by the wings. During the centuries in fair weather and in foul, good sea-
 sons and bad our fishers and birds have linked fortunes, until there has
 grown up feeling of comradesIlip and superstitious regard for the silver |gray bird with the half human cry.
 But on land this beautiful bird, with |round, black, lustrous eyes, is another |self-a marauder, a fighter, a poacher
 committer of sins which no tears lof repentance can wash away. Fol-
 loging the plough for worms, what
 more innocent and beautiful against the dark furrows? But, alas! contact with the soil rapidly develops all lat
 ent vices and sets the birds quarrel ing with the rocks and crows and rob ping hen roosts, carving off young chickens and unfiedged birds and killing trapped rabbits just for the luxury of feeding on their eyes. One can hardly believe that the brave seagull, riding on the pillows land battling undaunted In tempests could ever be guilty of the immorali- ] ties laid to it's charge on land-even to the petty. nneanness of fighting with London sparrows in St. James's Park lBut, alas! the bill is a true one-a

Great Rush to Attend Harvard CeIebra-

 Boston, Feb. 27.-In Sanders theater, Cambridge, tonight, Harvard univer- sitv observed Longfellow's anniversary py a public meeting. So vast was the crowd at the theater that hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission that there was nearly a riot, and a large force of policemen was called to the scene.
 Professor Charles Eliot Norton pre- sided. After a short opening address, Professor Norton read letters from ames Wlhitcomb Riley, Donald G.. Mitchell, John Bigelow and Edmund Clarence Stedman.
 President Eliot of the university in a brief address, recalled some of his per- sonal experience with Longfellow and said: ''The poet was in the highest sense a true artist, and that is the les son Longfellow taught on this spot. He worked with an ideal of perfection in speaking and writing before him, though it was never attained He taught the lesson of highest thought. He was an ardent supporter of reli- gious freedom, of new religion which was goodness-the religion of service to other men"
 A poem written for the occasion by Thomas Bailey Aldrich was read by Charles T. Copeland cf Harvard in the absence of MT. Aldrich, who is i'll. This was followed by an address on the poet written by William Dean Howells, III sfHsg5i5s5slH -. - E ss---sYSspss

.MuDBY JUNCTION.

IA I. cassatt, the late president of |the Pennsylvania rairoad, told at a Luncheon at the Philadelphia Country club a railroad story.
 "A western broke" he said, moved from the city out into the country. He moved far out. and since the railroad was small and the train service poor, he travelled to and from town by car riage or automobile exclusively.
 Deciding after a time to keep chick ems, he ordered a patent chicken coop, and on the day 1t was expected set out in dray to fetch 1t home from the freight office.
 He reached the railroad station which he had never seen before, after an hours drive. No one was in sight, but there was his chicken coop, and with his mans help he soon had it on
