Nov, am going to make to you
prediction. The time will come-and
the years are not distant-when much
the greater part of Westchester
county, New York, will be given over
to very profitable farming. II will be
different kind of farming from that
of the west. II will be small fruit and
vegetable farming, and there Will be
good deal Of high grade dairy farm
ing. The farms in the country are
now going to waste because the
farmers are doing exactly as their
grandfathers and great-grandfathers
did before them. It is silly, it is fool
ish. for the East to attempt to raise
wheat in competition with the West,
yet that is what some of the farmers
within fifty miles Of New York are
still trying to do. One of the reasons

DR.. Loring lived long enough to
know that the seed sown by Horace
Greeley after he bought and while be

beginning to yield harvest Some Of the

THIS DATE in HISTORY.

In the number for October, 1901
of Struts Magazine of Sports, we
observe that "Dominoes is a sport
imported from France. Much play
ed in restaurants and in the booths
of those who sell wines. A pleas
ant game"
In this year Of grace, some 10
years later, the same being this
month of October, we, being
athirst, went into a restaurant for
. sustenance. There we observed our
. secretary, he whose grandmother
was said to have passed away-the
funeral being toward,-playing
not at dominoes, but at the game
Of Binochle, called also penuckle,
with a roysterer for the stake of
ticket to the Athletic-Giant game
at Mr.. Shibe's park in Philadel-
phia.
Truly, then, we returned secret

traps for the undoing Of our secre-

At the Electric Railway Convention.
in session at Atlantic City, many
things have been discussed for the
good Of the association, but perhaps
the most interesting arguments have
been those in which outsiders have
participated. The subject is one of
growing Importance because cleo
tricity is gradually displacing steam
at terminals In the large cities and
may go a good deal further. Twenty
years ago the electric railways in
the country we're hardly worth mem
tioning. Now they have a mileage
larger than the steam roads of the
country had fifty years ago. It is
impossible TO get statistics which are
up to date, but a fair inference from
those which are available would make
the present mileage considerably in
excess Of 10000 and the capitalization
we'll up towards $5,00O.000, 900.
President J. G. Cannon, OF the
Fourth National Bank OF New York
who Is one Of the most prominent Of
American financiers, says there is
trouble in over capitalization. This
seems TO be inherent in the pushing
Of any such enterprise. In construct
ing our steam railroads an immense
amount OF water was injected, but
most of Il has been squeezed out in
various reorganizatfons. Railway
companies failed Just like any other
enterprises and went through the
same bankruptcy processes. With the
electric lines the squeezing process
has been much less, largely because
most OF the mileage is on city streets
and franchises are a, large share of
the assets OF the companies Still.
many companies have been reorgan-
ized with a good deal Of loss to the
original investors.
In these days all sorts Of efforts are
being put forth 10 save the innocent
! investors" who some way or other
always turn out to he widows and
orphans. This Is partly a ruse. but
the fact is that unsuspecting persons
In the past have invested heavily IN
stocks and bonds N electric railways

not always n the satisfaction OF the

from this eminent scientists deduc-
tions that bean may inherit unhappy
traits from ancestors. He has followed
his experiments through a series of
years, and finds that the common bean
may become degenerate after a period
of years simply through hereditary
impulses.
II was Pythagoras if we mistake not,
who first called attention to this fact
Of essential humor in the bean The
theory was worked out more particu-
larly by Mendel-all of whose expert
ments are recently printed in a work
under the general title of "Mendel-
. ism" Still, the Pythagorean idea that
the bean is, per Sc, humorous vege-
table, must have a certain regard in
the minds Of modern students of the
degeneration of similar fruits of the
vine.
Taken by and large, Of course, the
onion, as we have frequently contend
ed, is the most humorous of vegetables,
but we welcome the theory of DR..
Johannsen, and shall give it some con-
sideration. We have wondered often
