SCIENCE NOTES.

pom their completion, which will be at
no distant date. the freight yards of the
New York Central railroad at Garden
Vile, near Buffalo, n. Y, will be the
largest in the country. and perhaps the
largest in the world. A portion of the
yards has already been thrown into use
in response TO the demands of traffic and
the work on the remainder is being
rushed SO that the improvement may be
utilized at the earliest possible moment.
When completed the yards will have a
capacity of $500 cars in each day of
twenty-four hours. This is 1900 cars per
day more than the capacity of the largest
yard at present. which is that Of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Remove, Pa.
The principle involved in the design of

which is undoubtedly to be the means
of bringing down the price of English
walnuts. now largely grown in California
The industry of raising these nuts has
grown to gigantic proportions of recent
Years, and the greatest difficulty encoun-
tered by the growers has been the labor
problem. The difficulty and expense of
securing labor for gathering the crop
have been the means of crippling the in
dustry and also very potent factor
in the regulation of the price of the
nuts. The work of hand gathering is
slow at the best, and the gathering of
the crop Of even a moderate-sized. planta-
ton has been a serious matter.
The apparatus referred to has been in
vented by a California grower and it's
value has been demonstrated by actual
experience. 1t has been shown con-
clusively that the saving effected by the
use of the machine Is from to 2o
per cent, according to the conditions. The

gagged in guiding the machine. the services
of the other are required to look after the
bags. removing the filled ones and supply

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
From several parts Of the world novel
uses of salt in medical practice have
been reported during the past few
months Now comes the statement from
Calcutta that the new treatment of chol-
era in India consists in making intrave-
nous or peritoneal injections Of strong
salt solution.
The object of this treatment is to re-
inforce the fluid constituents Of the blood
In lis cases treated by this method in
the Calcutta Medical College the mortal
ity has been reduced SO per cent. That
is to say, that whereas under former
methods 90 per cent Of the patients died.
under the new salt-injection treatment
only 30 per cent Of the patients died.
To prevent the possibility of assuming
that the decreased mortality might be due
to the lessened virulence of the disease
as compared with former visitations. 1t is
noted that while these results were OBJ
tanned with the salt-injection treatment
at one hospital. the percentage of deaths
from cholera at another hospital. where
the new method was not employed re-
manned unchanged.

Superior Health of Negro Children.

From the PsycholoGical CLINIC.
An examination of the school children

is unquestionably too high, for we dis
covered that these children took a pc

dentally we noted that the negro children
had by far the better teeth.

Poor Prospects Of Statehood Bill.

taken after considerable maneuvering on
the floor and the discussion informally
of a number of suggestions looking to the
passage of the bill at the present session.
The proposition holding the bill on the
table subject to call was first advanced,
but the counting Of noses demonstrated
that there was insufficient support for
the bill in the Senate to prevent reference
to the committee, which is thought to be
hostile to acton by the present Congress.
1t was suggested later that the bill might
be referred to the committee with tnstruc-
tions to report within one week. but this
proposition also lacked support. and finally
the bill was referred without any DEBATE
and without condition. The committee on
territories will meet Friday to consider
