These bon-bons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees, in French), re-

family Of Fabius. But at the birth or
marriage of one of that family great
distribution of dragati took place, as a
sign of rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many Of the nobility of
Europe.

The extreme delicacy of many scien-
tific processes is indicated by the re-
port of government scientist at Wash
ingtOn, to the effect that bacteria are
affected favorably or otherwise by the
character of the glass containing the
water in which they are suspended.
Marked differences in the behavior of
cholera germs were noted, according to
the kind of glass composing the vessels
used. The degree of alkalinity impart-
ed by the glass to the water Is believed
to be an important factor IN these ex-
periments.
Over 500,00O,000 gallons OF water are
pumped out of the anthracite coal
mines Of Pennsylvania every day in the
year. The exact acreage for 1905 was
.633.000,000 gallons day. Nearly 1000
powerful engines, delivering from mine
bottom to surface 100000 gallons Of
water minute, are required. Mines
may be shut down and coal production
suspended, but the water flows on for
ever. According to the Iron Age, the
cost of removing it is one of the i'm
.pertant items of expense that make up
the price of anthracite.
Dr. Hauthal, a German savant, has
pnt forward a startling theory concern
ing the remains of gigantic sloths, re
lated to the great magatherium and the
mylodOn, recently found in Patagonia.
IN his opinion, these animals, whose
race Is now extinct, were kept in
domesticated state by the prehistoric
inhabitants of Patagonia. A cave at
Ultima Esperanza, where many indi-
cations of the former presence Of the
huge sloths have been found is regard
ed by DR.. Hauthal as having been used
by the ancient Patagonians as a stable
for their beasts.
Coal is fossil peat. The peat-bogs
of today might become coal beds In
some future geological age. Professor
Potone of Berlin says there is strict
paralelism between the different kinds
OF peat and of coal. When the remains
OF plants collect under terrestrial
conditions, an ordinary peat bog Is
formed. This corresponds with bright"
coal. If the remains collect under wa
ter, an organic slime is formed, and
this corresponds with dull" or camel,
coal. When terrestrial and aquatic
conditions have alternated during the
collection of the remains, "strata-peat''
results, and this corresponds with coal
deposits consisting of alternate layers
OF bright and dull coal. The chemical
and physical properties or the various
kinds of peat and coal show a similar
correspondence.

BIaney,s-"DubIin Dan."

Barney Gilmore, the popular Irish
comedian, in his new four-act melodrama,
dublin Dan, the Irish Detective" was
seen at Blaney's Theatre yesterday for the
first time.
The double life of Richard Forsythe, who
poses as his lead brother, a respectable
merchant, but who is in reality the leader
of a gang of counterfeiters, furnishes the
basis for the action. Dan falls in love
with Rosalie, Forsythe's ward. The coun-
~terfeiter himself is In love with the girl,
and, secretly plots to win her and secure
her money.
Forsythe's passion arouses the jealousy
of Juno Savage. and she plots-to put her
rival out of the way. She fails at first,
but later succeeds in decoying Rosalie
from the home of Dams mother, with
she is staying, and makes her a
prisoner in the counterfeiters der. Dan
enters the den in the disguise of an old
sailor, finds his sweetheart, and discovers
that Richard Forsythe is hone other than
Duke Mccoy, a famous counterfeiter, for
whom he has been searching. rescues
Rosalie and entraps the counterfeiters.
Mr.. Gilmore's rich brogue, droll humor
and ready wit in the character of Dan re-
ceived great applause, as did his love-
making scenes, which were played with a
quiet self-assurance. He was well sup
ported. Marion Shirley, as Rosalie, APP

FOR BETTER TRAFFIC.
ROAD HORSE ASSOCIATION
WRITES POLICE BOARD.
Suggests That Cumbersome Wagons Be
Made Keep Close to Curb, to Make
Room for Lighter Vehicles.

In an effort to bring about better traffic
regulations the Road Horse Association, of
this city, yesterday sent a letter to the
Police Commissioners asking that all slow
and cumbersome wagons be made keep
close to the curb, instead of the centre OF
the street.
The letter was addressed to the Honor
able Mayor, Board Of Works and Police
Commissioner of the City of Newark, "
and was as follows:
Conference.-The Road Horse Association
OF New Jersey hereby begs leave to COM
mend your honorable boards for the work
already accomplished in handling the traffic
upon the c~ongested streets of our city;
We also beg leave to suggest a further
Improvement in this service.
In several of the larger cities of this
country heavy trucks and all slow moving
vehicles are requested to keep close to the
curb in all ~congested streets in order that
the light vehicles, moving more rapidly,
may use the centre of such streets.
We therefore petition your honorable
board that such regulations be adopted and
enforced. This will accommodate a great
humble of the owners of light vehicles and
thus enhance the quicker movement Of
traffic.
II the heavy and slow moving vehicles
are compelled to keep close to the curb
accidents will be reduced to the minimum
and blocks less frequent. The enforce
ment Of such a rule Is worked success
fully In other cities and we believe II will
be a great benefit to the people generally.

readily get out OF the way Of the fire

Asylum aud City Home.

The Grand Jury made a final inspec-
ton yesterday of the penitentiary in
Caldwell, the Hospital for the Insane

the ~penitentiary in connection with the
introduction Of the handkerchief in
dustry there, and the Jurors will have
something to say about that h hos

also inquired into, and will be touched
upon probably.
