The Army the Oldest Service.

rom the boston transcript
4 statement is going the rounds OF the
press that the Marine Corps was estab-
lished in 1716. and is. therefore our oldest
military service. Both assertions are in
error. While Congress provided in No.
vember, 1915. for the organization of a
body of sea soldiers modelled on those Of
Great Britain it was not until late in the
following June that the plan materialized
in the establishment Of the Marine Corps
With the peace OF 1853. the navy was dis
banded and Its ships sold, and there was
no place for the marines, who do not re-
appear in our annals until 1893 There is
a break of fifteen years in the continuity
OF the corps, but even If it's career from
would not be our oldest military service
That distinction is with the army, which
really dates from that memorable July 2
1875. when Washington assumed COM
mand under the old elm at Cambridge
and began. by authority Of Congress. to
convert the hasty colonial levies into
those "Continentals' who on SO many
fields battied stoutly for American indie
pendence. From that day to this the
United States has never been without pro-
fessional soldiers under It's orders. True
the force was SO small at times that It
was scarcely more than cap
tain's command but it was suf1-
cient to keep unbroken the thread
OF continuity. During the old Confed-
eracy it never rose to the strength of q
modern battalion. but It may be regarded
which has carried its colors into Mexico
Havana. Manila and Picking. and whose
scouts have halted under the shadow of
the Chinese wall.

Nine Elms.
London Chronicle.

From he London Chronicle.
Nine Elnls, whence the engineering
works of the Southwestern railway are
being removed to Eastleigh, owing to the
growing demand for increased goods
space. was originally the London termi-
nus of that line when it was known as
the London and Southampton railway.
and the line was not allowed to be
brought direct into London. The extern
sion to the present terminus at Waterloo
In 1913, though only about two miles in
length, cost ee0O.OD and the series Of
brick arches upon which 1t is carried
was al the time considered a wonderful
achievement.
1t was from Nine Elms that the first
railway excursion for the Derby-to
Kingston b. train and thence by coach
was announced, somewhere about 1870
The fare was a guinea, tickets being
taken in advance The venture proved a
failure. for there was a breakdown on
the line. and when would-be excursionists
arrived at Nine Fins In crowds they had
to get what comfort they could from the
announcement that no trains would be
running. The removal to Eastleigf, which
will be effected during the next twelve
months, is estimated to take some LOO
employees with their families-about 1000
In all-from the neighborhood, which will
add considerably to London's already
large number of "empties' and to the
depression among the smaller tradesmen
of the immediate locality.

Making New Species Of Animals.
From Harner', MAGAZINE


The work at the Cambridge experi-
mental farm is not confined to plants. A
start has been made with the object OF
investigating the inheritance OF horns
and Of face color In sheep. and Prof
Wood has been able to show that both
these characters are inherited upon Men
delan lines. In this way he has been
able to combine the hOrnless character OF
the lack-faced Suffolk with the white
face of the horned Dorset. Similarly.
Prof Spillman has adduced evidence to
show that the polled character in cattle is
dominate to the horned state. thus max
ing it possible, to dehorn painlessly any
breed of cattle where this Is thought de-
sirable.

substance. He starts by analysis. APP

by step to determine the unit characters
which go to make up the plant or animal
upon which he Is working. Once these
characters are determined. a knowledge
of the Mendelian principles will enable
him to combine them together according

pensable, and 1t Is here that the chief diff
f1culties of the work lie.

NEW YORK, December 19.-Leadng in
terests in the Colorado and Southern Rail-
road Company, including Edwin Hawley.
who is said to be the largest individual
stakeholder. and Frank Trumbull. the
president OF the road. announced today the
sale of the road to the Chicago. Burling-

formation as to the price and Others de-
tails of the transaction, however, are

The acquisition of the road by the Bur-

II will bear practically the same rela-

bears to the Hartman system. Until to-

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The usual dividend notices from various
banks in the city were read at the meet
ing of the stock exchange today announc-
ing the distribution that commonly takes
place about the opening Of the year OF a
portion of the earnings of these institu-
tons.
The notice from the Capital National
Bank stated that a dividend would be
paid at the rate of 8 per cent. which is
an Increase of per cent over the one
heretofore paid. Possibly In recognition
indicated by this advance in the dividend
rate. the bid for the stock advanced from
1ss TO 200. but no stock was offered for
sale.
Announcement was also made of the
payment of l per cent dividend by the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Yer
non Railway Company. which some Of
the brokers thought was the first paid
by this company. IT is shown, however.
that the first payment OF the kind was
made in January. 1907, on the million
and a half OF stock Since then the Falls
Church line has been acquired. although
thus far no organic union has been ef-
fected. While both the stocks and the
bonds of this company are listed on
the exchange. yet 1t Is rare for trans
action to occur in either OF them. as the
securities are held mainly outside of this
city
Following the course of prices in the
general market the bid for Greene Can
anea Copper today was 111s. while yes
terday at the close it was 1Ua:. The only
transaction was the sale of three shares
at ia.
The bid for the stock of the Union
Trust Company advanced from 114ss TO
113a without bringing out any more than
five shares, which went for III. At the
close the asking price was ll6ia.
There was no change in the gas situa-
ton and very little business done In that
security. The principal. and, in fact. the
only. buyer OF late days was willing to
take what might be offered at prevailing
rates, but the supply seems to be ex-
hausted.
No change was made in the asking
price as compared with the figures OF
yesterday. which were an eighth Of a
point under 30 Today ten shares sold
for 20, which seems to be the objective
point just a present.

Bad tdings are current concerning

the Dauphin acquired 1t in 1898 to enlarge
his domain at Meudon, and there still
exists beneath the tower an underground

Paris said mass. Nine. Roland once
