SURGICAL ADVANCE.

Modern surgery is continually reach ing out into hitherto unknown and un- tried fields. What has been accomplish ed Is little short of marvellous, but some of the things hoped for and pre- dicted seem to approach the impos- sible. For example. we find thiss item going the rounds:
 A surgical experimenter at the Rock efeiler Institute for Medical Research has successfully transplanted kidneys rom one animal to another, and the this will be followed before lNng oy the transfer of the vital organs from the lower animals, to man. But what effect will it have on man to be provid ed with feline or canine heart or a rabbits liver? Will he become "cat- tyN qr white Hvered or anything of the sort. Beware of the surgeon who wishes to tamper with your vitals.
 Now. we must admit that any att tempt to fix limit to human ef- fort and human achievement is not a safe proceeding. As we have said, so many seemingly impossible things have been done that no one can draw a line beyond which modern skill and science may not go, but we must admit that when 1t comes to swapping and substituting vital organs from one person to another, or from the lower animals to human beings, we cannot helpfeeling just a little bit skittish as to what may happen. Doctors and sur geons are a close mouthed cult, when they choose to be so, and don't tell secrets. If, then, one needs new heart for example, and one is supplied him. how is he to know that the sub stitue comes from dog or bun or a donkey. And then. as the item we have quoted suggests. will the Nsubsti- tuition cause the man to take on the nature and habits of the burglarized animal? There's where we feel inclin- ed to dodge. If one has to play step- father, as we might say, to the vital organs of an animal, one would like to have some choice as to the beast he is succeeding. It might be true that some humans would be improved by the addition of some animal organs, but there's danger of getting things mixed, we apprehend, if the scientists aren't careful. Better go a little slow when it comes Ito rebuilding people.

Tn recent address made by Pres ident Elliot to the Young Mems Chris tian Union. says The Boston Globe, he put. with rare felicity, the greatest of modern social problems in a nutshell; .'Not in solitude. but in society. must freedom be exercised and used. and not in a simple society. but in the complexities of modern communities. A true democracy is a cooperation Of all sorts and conditions of men unit ed to preserve the rights of each per son and the rights of property Men can never be equal or made so by law in natural powers, but all must be equal before the law" What truer ideal is there than that for the radi- cal or the conservative or the socialist or the anarchist? And nowhere else except in these United States could that ideal have been evolved and have found expression by the head of the greatest of American universities.

A Pleasant Custom.

Moulton Advertiser.
 The annual banquet of the employees of The Montgomery Advertiser was duly observed on the first day of Janu- ary, as has been it's custom for many years, and it was truly an enjoyable affair. We read the proceedings with deep interest. especially the review speeches of Major Screws and MT. Glass, which we found to be rich in historical facts and bubbling over with humor. Major Screws has been a citi- zen of Montgomery an even half cen tury. forty three years of which time he has been associated with The Adver- tiser-"Old Grandma'-the greatest and perhaps the most influential paper ever printed in the South. One year ago we were in Montgomery and but for previous engagement would have met around the banquet board with that more than three-seore of gallant newsmen--an occasion we have fre- quently regretted having missed, but some bright New Year. when Screws is over 100 and Glass is not many moons behind him, we hope to drop in on the jolly quill pushers and enjoy a square meal with them. In the meantime if you want to know what's in Alabama in the South, in the Union and in the world-send your subscriptions to The Montgomery Advertiser, whose faciii- ties for gathering and publishing all the news are unsurpassed by any other paper on the continent.

Rare Musical Treat is Fully
Enjoyed at the Grand
Opera House.

When John Philip sousa, the
March King" had his band 10 play
some OF his own compositions at the
Grand opera house last night. he
was rendered a rousing ovation.
ciarksburgers have heard, and play
ed and enjoyed Sousa's marches and
other compositions. just like the peo-
pie Of any other American city, but
this was the first time they ever had
the pleasure of seeing sousa and HIS
band at home and hearing the pieces
played according TO the composers
conception and Interpretation, and
they fully appreciated 1t.
That the evening was a rare rnu-
steal treat was evinced by the liber-
al applause accorded the various
numbers and the applause came from
all parts o fthe house. Mr.. Sousa
Acknowledged the tribute and gave
several encores. A porter in the or
chestra PIT held aloft large signs.
bearing the titles OF the encore
pieces as they were commenced, but
when the first few notes of the pop
Sousa's marches are popular-were
struck up, there was no need for the
signs as the audience Immediately

his characteristic grace and dignity.
seeming to control great waves of
harmony by the crook Of little fing-

FAMINE
VERY SERIOUS
With the Baltimore & Ohio,
Which May Have to Cut
of Slow Freight.

The low stage or water in all
streams has become more, serious
than ever. The difficulties which the
railroads have to contend with have
become almost insurmountable. 1t
was opined by railroad men yesterday
that unless there be a fail OF rain
within the next few days the B. & o.
railroad company by be compelled to
suspend the movement of slow freight
and move fast freight and passen-
ger trains only. For the last week
the railroad has been beset with all
kinds Of difficulties. Many Of the
sources of water supply have be-
come entirely dry and water has to
be hauled in tank cars to supply the
engines at many stations. The greht-
est difficulty now, Is not only the
scarcity of water, but the quality II
1t. The percentage OF chemicals and
mineral substances in nearly all the
water that can be gotten for engines
Is SO great that the flues OF the boil
ers are eaten out In one trip and lo-
comotives can not berepaired fast
enough to move the Increasing vol
ume of freight. Much OF the water
used for supply engines on the second
division is taken from Cheat river.
This water in this stream because of
the presence various sources of pol
luton has become so bad that only
20 per cent of 1t is pure water. Sew
eral locomotives that had been out OF
the shops only a few days were
returned yesterday to have flues re-

MOSQUITO FIGHT
HERE AS WAGED
ON STATEN ISLAND
Meeting in Board of Health
Rooms Will Discuss DR..
DOty's Success.
DRAINING SALTWATER
MARSHES ROUTED PESTS
Gathering Will Strive TO Assist
in State EntOmolOgists CAM
paign of determination.

The wonderful success of DIR. A. H.
Doty, health officer of the port of New
York, in making Staten Island mos
quito-proof, will be discussed and acted
upon by the New Jersey Conference on
Mosquito determination at the Board
of Health rooms in this city on
Wednesday evening.
DIR. Doty, after six years work, says
he has almost eliminated the striped
leg mosquito, or "sollictans." from
Staten Island by draining salt water
marshes. The sollictans the salt water
mosquito, was the principal inhabitant
of Staten Island before DR.. Doty took
hold. He discovered that the sollictan's
mosquito eggs was hatched into larvae
only in salt water. The problem was
to get rid of the salt water and the
drainage system was evolved. Several
hundred miles of bitches We're dug
through the marshes of the island.
"The draining had a splendid effect
on the swamp lands" said Mr.. Doty.
Marshes where a man could not walk
without sinking over his head respond
ed quickly to the draining, and within
few months grass movers and teams
drove over them to cut and cart away
the meadow grass, which sold for $40
a few months grass mowers and teams
gotten they owned marshes looked up
their titles, built fences around par
cells and put a road through what was
once a swamp land. The boulevard
had been given wide berth because
the sollicitans simply deyoured persons
who attempted to drive over it, and
teams became unmanageable through
mosquito annoyance.
1.-THE ditch digging was apparently
simple process, but rather dangerous
for the workmen, as man might sink
from view at any moment if not care
ful. We kept forty men at work all
the time, and subsequently added q
ditch digging machine The bitches
are about 10 inches wide, "a to 80 inches
deep and are from 10 to $50 feet apart.
All drain into big ditch that flows
into the sea. The bitches win last for
six or seven years. but viii have to be
repaired and cleaned annually"
The same method is being pursued
in New Jersey by Professor Smith, the
State entomologist, and with much
success, but his task is infinitely
greater than that of DR.. Doty.
