ERICSSON RELICS
SHOWN AT SEATTLE

SEATTLE, June 15.-John Ericsson,
Monitor, used a large block of wood as
pillow on which to rest his tired
head after spending days and nights in
his study The identical block has
heen kept as a historical object, and
is to be seen among other things in the
=" Jo ohm Ericsson'' room in the Swedish
building at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition.
AS the visitor enters the room he is
almost startled to see seated at a table
at the farther end the figure of a man.
So amazing is the likeness of this
wax figure to the familiar portraits and
pictures of the inventor that the visi-
tor unconsciously stops in reverence
before going nearer. The table in the
room is the one from the study of
Ericsson, and nearby is the oldfashion-
ed hair-cushion' piano stool which
was used by the inventor in place of a
chair.
Ericsson had two tables in his study
one at which he worked ON his plans
and drawings; the other was used as
a bed and with the block of wood as
pillow.
The walls of the "John Ericsson
room are hung with pictures of the
naval officers who commanded his first
armorclad, and there is also shown the
engraved resolutions passed by the New
York State General Assembly March
10, 1862, commencing Ericsson and the
naval officers of the Monitor for their
work.

JUST IN TIME.

A German shoemaker left the gas
turned on in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning struck a
match to light it. There was terrific
explosion, and the shoemaker was blown
out through the door almost to the mid
die of the street.
A passer-by rushed to his assistance,
and after helping him to arise, inquired
if he was injured.

Douthitt confined his oratory. He
stated that the majority of those whose
names were signed to the petition did
not understand its import, and, further
more, when asked if they would sign
a petition against the granting of a
license to All Chow, replied in the mega
tive
"Whyn said Douthitt "anyone can
get signatures for any kind of petit
ton in this country. IN go so far
as to say that 1 could inside of fifteen
minutes, get full list of names on a
petition to have me hanged"
Cries of "kokua" and "Put my
name down on the list" came from all
parts of the room, especially from the
attorneys present. Laughter reigned
supreme until the Chairman raped for
order.
Applications for licenses from Lewis

Railway and Land Co., for the Hale

Board, but there was no discussion pro

THE COURTHOUSE SITE.

The recommendation of the Courthouse Com
mission that a new building for the supreme
Court of the 1St Judicial District be erected III
Washington Square lacks wholeheartedness and
conviction. The members of the board are not
at all satisfied with their own selection. They
say frankly that the choice has been forced on
them bv unfortunate limitations of law and
rather shortsighted considerations of economy
Three other more desirable sites, their report
saws have been rejected by the Board of EST
mate and Apportionment and the Washington
S0uara site is now favored only as last resort,
the chief argument in its favor being that it Is
for the moment the cheapest available. All
other considerations are to be sacrificed to
dubious policy of economy.
The Tribune has many times pointed out that
washington Square is a disadvantageous site
for a Supreme Court building. The neighbor-
hood is isolated. 1t is off the main routes of
travel. and is not likely to become much more
accessible or to develop into a centre for office
buildings II the court is TO sit in the section
of the city between 23d street and Bleecker
street Union Square is from every point of view
more satisfactory location. 1t is apparently
proposed TO appropriate part of Washington
Square for the building. thus greatly de-
preciating the squares value as a breathing
spot in an already congested quarter The plan
of adding an area to the park equal to that
taken away is open TO the objection that it will
involve the destruction of trees now in full
growth and the slow development of IN annex
on condemned ground behind the new court
house The beauty of Washington Square would
be much diminished by such an experiment
The Tribune is still of the opinion that II
the Union Square site must be abandoned be-
cause of its cost the best results would be at
tanned by erecting a court building in Cham
bers street, facing City Hall Park The judges
complain of the noises from the streets which
disturb court proceedings in the old-fashioned
court buildings. No building of the old style
can offer much relief In that respect; for all
parts of Manhattan are noisy now and are
becoming noisier as traffic grows denser. The
way TO obtain peace, quietude good light and
pure air is TO go far above the street level. We
believe that building OF moderate superficial
area but OF suitable height would solve the
problems Of poor light, poor ventilation and dis
turbing noises with which the courts have long
wrestled. Such building easily be erected
In CKHhnbers street, and New York has arch-
tects skilful enough to bring it into harmony
with the City Hall PARK and its surroundings.
In cur opinion it would be better TO wait until

nARHLN ANTICIPATED

In the last issue of ''The New York Medical
Record" DR.. r. G.. Eccles, of Brooklyn, re-
wives an interesting bit of history The doctrine
of ma tural selection" advanced half century
ago in Darwns Origin of Species" was pre-
viously enuncated by Or. W. c. Wells, of
Charleston. s. c. In a paper which the Amer
lean sent to the Royal Society Of England in 1913
he expressed the opinion that negroes aud mulat-
toes derived their immunity from certain trop-
ical diseases including malaria from the color Of
their skin The theory might have been sound
or It might have been the reverse but the mere
fact that Ii found utteTanCe shows that at least
a hundred years ago there were thinkers who
believed that in the struggle for existence those
plants and animals had the best chance of hold
ing out which had most completely adapted
themselves to the conditions surrounding them.
Darwin gave DR.. Wells due credit too. He
remarked in 1.-THE Origin of Species that the
American observes firstly, that all animals
vary in some degree, and, secondly, that gri-
"cultursts improve their domestic animals by
selection. and then he adds but what IS done
"in this latter case by art seems to be done
with equal efficacy, though more slowly, by
Nature, in the formation of varieties Of man
kind fitted for the country which they in
''ha abit" The quotation indicates that the great
English naturalist laid no claim TO originality
while celebrating his own views though he did
vastly more than DR.. Wells To reinforce them
with evidence 1t is also clear that the South
Carolina physician recognized the tendency in
the offspring of the same parents to differ
slightly from each other. Without variation, of
course, division into species would be impos-
sible and there would be occasion to ask
why some varieties would thrive while others
would languish and die. 1t is probable that DR..
Wells concerned himself chiefly with the prac-
tical duties of his profession-trying to heal
the sIck-but he was certainly something of a
philosopher.
In his contribution TO The Medical Record"
DR. Eccles improves the opportunity to honor
another of his predecessors and compatriots.
He declares that as long ago as 1907 DR.. John
Crawford of Baltimore. propounded the theory
that mosquitoes We're responsible for the dis
senination OF malarial fever. Now that the
supposition has been fully verified, it seems
strange that efforts made century
ago to ascertain its correctness. To be sure Pas
teurs demonstration that some diseases have
a bacterial origin had not been given to the
world Not until 1880 did Laveran announce the
discovery of the parasite of malaria in human
blood Yet even without these clews it ought
to have been a simple matter to test the uues-
ton whether Dr. Crawford was right or not

enabling the vestry of Trinity Church from
time to time to separate the churches with
"the consent of their congregations and to en-
dow them with suitable estates" That was In

The corporation of Trinity Church in this city
at the present time proposes to abandon and

congregation Of that chapel, relying upon the
specific promises of 1914, earnestly requests
that it shall be set off as a separate church,

LAST YEARS OUTPUT OF COAL.

So intimate is the relation between the con
sumntion of fuel and the activity of manufact-
uring transportation and other important III
dustries that a report the coal productlon ol
the country for 1908 possesses eXceptlonal III
terest Such 2 statement has been prepared by
Mr. Edward w Parker, of the United States
Geological Survey who is also a special agent
of the Census Bureau 1t shows, as might be
expected. a considerable reduction in the output
compared with that of 1907, but that the falling
off was no greater must, on the whole cause
surprise.
The Weld of anthracite last year in round
numbers was 100000 short tons. or about
100000 tons less than in 1901 Most or the
hard coal mined in this country IS burned III
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey, New York ana New
England Though more expensive than soft coal,
If is still used on a rather large scale TO gen
crate steam for power The demand for it for
this nurpose was so well sustained in 1908 that
tho production was diminished only per cent.
OF course soft coal makes a less favorable
showing The output for 1908 is estimated az
from 800 OOOO 900 to 330,000,0O0 short tons InaC
of tbe wear before amounted to 394 4759, 112 short
tons The difference is not far from IOVOoUOO
tons or about II per cent The change was
chiefly noticeable Mr. Parker says In the re-
gions where coke is manufactured, and as coke
is the favorite fuel of the blast furnace man the
Iessened demand was largely due to a diminished
production of pig iron. Still, the iron and steel
business was not entirely responsible for it. a
host of factories in Western cities have been
accustomed to rely on soft coal for power In
the operation of most mines, too, power Is re-
duired for hoisting and crushing ore. The par

these classes of consumers senslbly contributor
to the result.
Still another cause seems to have exerted an
