 This scheme, which will be put into operation very soon, contemplates the residence of engineers in the United States for eighteen months. They will be directed by an American engineer of eminence, and will visit American manu- factories and great industrial centres.

The movement for the organization of independent iron and steel companies into corporation second only in importance to the United States Steel corporation is making quiet and substantial headway For some reason satisfactory to them. selves the people working on the plans and those most largely interested enter denia1s when asked if a major project is on.
 Nevertheless and notwithstanding, tho deal is decidedly on, and there Is little doubt that it will go through on substan- tially the lines tentatively framed up sev- eral months ago. MT. H. c. Prick, by the law of natural selection. occupies the po- sition as arbiter and umpire on many of the points that come up from time to time. and Is at this moment the central figure upon whom the Independents are leaning.
 He Is all-powerfu in the big corpora ton. The independent project has the entire approval of the corporation man. agement, a fact which will be developed most unmlstakably at the banquet which Is to be given at the waldorf-Astoria, Oc- tober 15, to MT, Gary by the independent iron manufacturers. The real background purpose of that banquet is to bring the independents together and to make it plain to them that the trust looks upon them and their proposition for a merger with friendly eyes.
 As for the independents themselves, nine out of ten of them are thoroughly in favor of the plan. They feel that when it goes through the iron and steel indus try will be placed on a plane which will Insure permanency and safety for long, long time to come. Practically every large independent manufacturer and own CT of ore east of the Rocky mountains will be included in the merger excepting Jones & Laughlin of PIttsburg, the Cambria, and the Pennsylvania, these latter two being controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, which holds them as insurance against the possibilities of op- pression. N
 The outlook for money is that the mar ket will remain firm until past the end of the year. Indeed, it is reasonably safe to say that we will not see any more of the cheap money which was on tap in New York in boundless amounts up to within two or three months ago. Varied uses will be found for all the surplus money. which can be accumulated and for the next year or more Wall street will have to compete for what she gets. Cap ital will be needed increasingly in every line of commerce and industry. There will be times, of course. when funds can be had on call at low prices, but the sup ply cannot be depended on. The drift is toward higher rates. There may or may not be importations of gold. but 1t seems to be clear that our credit balances abroad are increasing. The decline in foreign exchange foreshadows heavy exportations of cotton and other American products, and the buyers will have to pay for the goods

RIVALS OF SLAMESE TWINS
BORN NEAR CLARKSVILLE

Clarksville, Tenn, July 26.-lnfants,
which are said to have surpassed as
monStrositieS the wonderful Siamese
twins, which have been exhibited
throughout the United States, were
born to Mrs. Browning on Yellow
Creek, near this city. They lived only
few minutes. This rare monStrosity
is technically known as thoraco alb
dominopagus, this term meaning fusion
of the thoraces and abdomens of two
otherwise separate individuals. The
children weighed twelve pounds, and
aside from having one thoraX and alb
domen, were perfectly developed They
were joined anteriorally, the fusion ex-
tending from the cubic crests to the
sternal notches. The difference be-
tween the freak above mentioned and
the famous SiameSe twins, was only a
slight fusion of thoraces in the twins.
The parents could not be prevailed
upon to give up the body for the sake
of science, but photographs were made
to satisfy the minds of the doubling
and curious.

A CANDID JUDGE.

A Dover lawyer tells a story in
which figures the Hon, IL. l., Dawes,
who it seems, in his younger days was
an indifferent speaker. Shortly after
his admission to the bar he had IA case
which was tried before Il North Adams
justice of the peace, and Dawes was
opposed by lawyer whose eloquence
attracted a large crowd. The justice
was perspiring in the crowded room
and evidently fast losing his temper.
Finally he drew Off his coat and, in
the midst of the eloquent address,
burst out:
"Mr. Attorney, supposing that you
take a seat and let Mr.. Dawes speak

FOREST AREA OF SOUTH.
More Than AZ per Cent of Timber
Area is IN the South and Ten
ness, Has 100000 Feet

The south, with twenty-seyen per
cent of the total area of the United
States, contains about forty-two per
cent of the forest area of the country.
The forest area by states is as follows;
Alabama, 20,000,000 acres; Arkansas,
"A, 100000; Florida, 2O,OOO,OOO; Georgia,
y, 100000; Kentucky 10,000,0O0; Lou
siana, l6,50O,O00 Maryland 100000;
Mississippi, 17,500,000; North Carolina,
9,G0O,O00; South Carolina, l2,000000;
Tennessee, $1,000, 900; Texas, 20, 600, 900;
Virginia, l4,000,000 West Virginia, g.
100000
The south, it will be seen, has still
much of the virgin forest of the coun.
try. This forest must be used, OF
course, in order to meet the steadily
expanding wants of this section. II
must be used in such a manner, how.
ever, that the very most may be made
from its annual cut, while at the same
time this cut is being replaced by new
growth. In this way its timber vii
remain source of perpetual wealth.
The importance of forest conservation
to southern interests is clearly under

stood by the people of the south. The
future of the south is more nearly
bound up in the plan of forest preser-
walton, with its accompanying protec-
ton TO watersheds, power-streams and
woodworking industries, than is any
thing now before the people of this
part of the country. Not only is the
protection Of the watershed, which
will some day furnish the power to
run all manufacturing establishments
in the entire south, an important mat
ter to the south, but the industries de-
pending upon the forest products will
also be benefited by the protection
thrown about the remaining timbered
area.

O. Railway from Dante to BOstic as
the guest of President Geo. l.. Carter
and General Manager NJ. j. Caples, in
their private car, Clinchtield. In con-
versation with The Comet Gen. Wilder
said it was Il good thing now that the
original line was not built, because the
present line is so much more substan-
tial than the old company ever con-
templated. For instance, his company
expected to build the line at a cost OF
S25, 600 a mile, and this road has cost
over SlG0000 per mile The company
has not allowed mountains TO remain
in their way and have not attempted
TO get around them, but have leveled
hills and tunneled others until they
have a perfect coal carrying road from
the mountains to the coast He said
these men should have been on the
staff of God Almighty and they would
have leveled the whole earth. The
general is spending the summer at

ests. He is always welcome visitor

WARNING ISSUED
BY UNCLE SAM.
.ACETANILID, PHENACET|N,
And Anti-Pyrin as Remedies foi
Headache-Use of Such Drugs
Without Advice Dangerous

Washington, D. G., July 27-Do you
use headache remedies? The depart
ment says you would better lookout if
you do. The department recently has
had experts Investigating the use of
these remedies, and after receiving re-
ports from 400 physicians in various
parts of the country, issues warning
against the use of acetanilid, phenace-
tin and anti-pyrin, three comparatively
new drugs, which form the basis OF
proprietary headache "cures."
"The use of such drugs without the
advice of physician is dangerous, y
says the report, "since they tend to de.
press the heart and the nerves, and
may lead to the formation of a drug
habit"
The reports from the 400 physicians
alluded to, covering the period from
1884 to 1907, show that in the perioC
mentioned twenty-eight deaths from
the use Of these three drugs have oc
Cured, besides 8l4 cases of poisoning
and 1876 cases in which the patient
formed the drug-using habit, with va
rious evil results. In fourteen case
anti-pyrin was poisonous even wher
used externally.
There are 125,OO0 physicians in th'
United States. The department ask
what terrible showing would be mad
should all these report on the use 0
these drugs in their practice?
OF the 400 physicians who do report
acetanilid is rarely prescribed by 2l2
antipyrin rarely or never by 3O7 an,
1870 say they do not prescribe phenace
tin. In more than half the cases @
poisoning reported the drug was takel
by direction OF a physician, whicl
leads one to reflect that if physician
have such bad luck in using the drug
surely it should behoove the averag
layman to use them with the utmos
carefulness or not at all. Nowaday
nobody need take them unknowingly
since the pure food and drug act IT
quires that labels of proprietary med
cines containing either of the drug
mentioned above shall mention th
fact.
A committee of the British Medic;
Association which investigated tt
subject in 1894 agreed with the recer
report of the department of agricultur
The British doctors found that deaf
resulted rather frequently from the III
of the three drugs, and that poisoning
were common. Altogether, medic
] literature, not including the report
the department, of course, makes
showing of thirteen death and 297 cas-
of poisoning from acetanilid, 4S8 cas-
of poisoning from antipyrin and 70 cas-
, of poisoning from phenacetin.
! Physicians are using these dru
less freely and with greater cautiC
than when they were first introduced
g says the report of the departmer
"But the general public, on the 9th
d hand, in response to ingenious adv'
: tising, seems more and more to
purchasing headache mixtures co
tanning these drugs and dosing theI
selves without advice from physicia
u When considered in connection wi
4 the fact that cases of poisoning a
Y death have been more frequent in
y cent years, this should lead the co
u mon man to be extremely cautious
Il the use of any remedy containing a
y tanilid, antipyrin or phenacetin. "
