New York, July 22.-(Special cor
respondence Of The Republican, - Is
New York destined to become an In
land city with European freight loaded
and unloaded a hundred odd miles to
the eastward? This is a question that
hobs up periodically with the chance
of a positive answer some day. II is
not expected that the metropolis Is to
suffer any geological upheaval which
shall plant it in the middle of the state
but rather that the extreme eastern
end Of Long Island will be made the
American terminus of transatlantic
steamship lines. 1t would be a vast
undertaking to construct at Montauk
port bearing the same relation to
New York that Southampton does to
London. but it is hardly more visionary
than tunnels under the river were con-
sidered ten years ago. Its great adj
vantage wonld be in decreasing the
time of the European trip by eight
hours. The truth of the matter is. that
New York harbor is proving too small
for its needs. Even with the gener-

Mention OF the work of beneficent
organizations in making 1t possible for
working girls to get into the country
az small cost, recalls the fact that the
Salvation Army of Boston has Just
announced n novel feature of its work
for this summer. which is causing
much interest among many charitably
inclined members of the Hubs high
est social circles. Nature excursions
for the study of bird life, botany and
geology are to be arranged for young
working folk. Competent lecturers and
guides will conduct the students who
wish to study scientifically or other
wise the beauties of nature. Among
those who will assist in the work are
DIR. Ellsworth Huntington. who is a
fellow in the Royal Geographical So
ciety and a member of the Yale facul-
ty. and Mrs. Matthews Richardson,

from many other symptoms of kidney
trouble. He consulted a specialist who
told him that his trouble came from
deranged kidneys. but he was unable

The Indian name of this great fighter

uralists hive the word translated into
about eight or nine different styles, but
the correct way of spelling it in our
language is undoubtedly 'muskel-
lunge." Most fishermen, however,

selves. and n man seems to be an nc

An Autumn Observation.

We never knew the tree foliage to be
so dense and vigorous as it has been
this year every branch and twig load
ed with strong, healthy leaves. This is
due no doubt to the cool, wet seasons
of the last year or two. One has but
to cut down sapling or limb to note,
by the rings, that the last two or three
years have been fast growing years
with the trees, even if he has not noted
their rapid growth otherwise. We re-
member only few years ago when
the trees seemed to be partially dying
out; when they bore scant foliage and
often lost considerable portion of that
during the hot, dry weather of July and
August. Those were the dry, scorch-
ing years, while the last two or three
years, and particularly this one, have
been cool and moist, with the ground
full of water wherever the roots go to
drink And so it is that the trees have
made wossierfnlly rapid growth and
are healthy and vigorous. and because
of this have put out and carried vast
amount of leaves.
But the frosts have come and sent
the leaves scurrying down in great
quantities, carpeting the lawns and
walks and streets with leafy mantle
of many colored hues. And still there
are some trees of such strong vitality
that the frosts do not appear to have
touched them and their leaves still hold
their rich green color and refuse to let
go. 1t will take harder frosts to cause
them to put on their dying colors and
stronger winds to make them leave
their parent trees, but they too are
doomed and their time will soon come.
There is something inexpressably sad
as well as beautiful in the falling of the
leaves. Only few months ago they
burst from their Fuds and draped the
naked forest in living green. They have
served their purpose; have warded off
the stormy winds, furnished genial
shade and served as the lungs of the
trees during the growing season. Hav-
ing accomplished their mission they
now put on their beautiful autumnal
tints at the touch of the frosty death
messenger and silently let go and sink
to quiet rest. --Ex
