How high the water rises or how
low it falls is difficult te figure. they
say, for this subterranean food which
is surging backward and forward be-

Early New York.

New York city had become one of the most important places on the coast before 175O. It's great advantages were its fine harbor and the noble riv- CT which emptied into it. The other towns on the coast were shut off from the far west by the Appalachian mountains or the Alleghenies, which follow the Atlantic coast at distance of 100 to POO miles from it from Geor-. gia to Maine. But the Hudson river broke through this barrier and gave New York easy access to Canada and the profitable Indian trade. Tn 1897 the city contained about 4,300 inhab- itants, about one-third being slaves. It extended from the Battery to a pal isaded wall, where Wall street now runs. All above Wall street was in the country. The population grew to about $500 in 1730 and about 12,OO0 in 175O.

Medical Ethics In China.

In an article in the Journal of Race Development on the practice of medi- cine in China, Dr. c. W. Young of the Union Medical college of Peking quotes this from a work on medical ethics:
 When a patient is severely ill treat him as thou wouldest wish to be treat ed myself. If thou art called to con- tatior go at once, and do not delay. If he ask thee for medicine give it to him at once, and do not ask if he be rich or poor. Use thy heart always to save life and to please all. So will thine own happiness be exalted. In the midst of the darkness of the world be sure there is some one who is. pro tecting thee. When thou art called to an acute illness and thinkest with all thy might of nothing but making mon ey out of the patient, if thy heart be not filled with love of thy neighbor. be sure that in the world there is some one who will punish thee."

Keeps Tab on the shipowners.

The captains register at Lloyd's, the great English insurance concern, has aptly been described as the biograph- ical dictionary of the whole of the certfcated commanders of the British mercantile marine. In the register are entered the date and place of the worthy shippers birth, the record of his progress at sea, the ships. he has commanded and the ships, if he has been unfortunate, that he has lost.
 There is also another register, a con- fidential index of British shipowners and the history of their ships, the num- Der of shares held by the owners. the trade of the ships during the year, the accidents which have befallen them and other important information. If firm loses ship after ship, If the en- tries "foundered," wrecked" and missing" appear in succession against the names of their vessels, here is a moral to be drawn by the broker and underwater.

Test For Silk Goods.

There is a simple method of finding out whether a piece of silk goods has been adulterated or weighted. as the manufacturers call it, with tin, and that is to cut off a small sample and burn it. Pure silk is animal matter, just as feathers or hair. made, as every one knows, by the silkworm. Now. If pure silk is burned 1t will instantly curl up into a crisp mass, just as a burnt hair or feather will do. but if the silk goods has been adulterated with from 50 to 75 per cent of tin it will not do this. It will leave an ash in the semblance of the fabric, much as a burned piece of newspaper will leave an ash that still shows the print ing. The harder and more firm this ash the more tin there was in the silk New York American.

|MPERAT0R, BIGGEST
 SHIP AFLOAT, ON FIRE
Officer Bra3GIy Meets Death
 Fighting Flames,

A fire on the Imperator of the Ham burg American line at her dock in HO boken. N. J.. imperiled the lives of nearly 2.00O passengers aboard and caused considerable damage One of the officers of the vessel lost his life under most dramatic circumstances.
 It was six hours after the fire start ed before it was under control. To smother the flames it became neces- sary to flood the entire hold. The Ho- boken fire department and two fire boats from New York aided the crew of the Imperator in fighting the flames
 Had it not been for the aid offered by the freboats and the Hoboken fire men the ship would probably have been destroyed. The city firemen de clare that there was no force in the ships attack on the fire and that when they arrived everything was in confu- sion. They refused to say what they thought of the chances of the ship had the fire started in midocean, with no friendly fireboats or fire engines at hand.

Mechanism of the Ear.

Comparatively few people thoroughly realize what a delicate and sensitive structure the human t:lr really is. That which we OrdinA::iy designate so Is. after all, only the outer porch of series of winding passages which, like the lobbies of al great building. lead from the world without to the world within. Certain of these paS*lGes con tain liquid, and their membranes are stretched like parchment curtains across the corridor of different places and can be thrown into vibrations or made to tremble like the head of drum or as the surface of q tambou- rine does when struck with a stick or with the fingers. Between two or three parchment-like curtains a chain of very small bones extends, which serves to tighten or relax these membranes and to communicate vibrations to them. In the innermost place of all row of white threads, called nerves, stretches like the strings of a piano from the last point to which the tremblfngs or thrillings reach and pass inward to the brain.

railroad officials issued a statement which tended to throw the blame on fhe engineer of the White Mountain express, but the engineer, according to friends, has the defense that be has been overworked for the past week and also that the signal system of the sec fion of the line on which the wreck occurred was not adequate in foggy weather such as prevailed at the time of the wreck.
 The last two cars of the Bar Har- Parts of the cars, which were wooden, were hurled hundreds of feet away. The bodies of some of the dead were found fifty feet away in the fields.
 When a reporter who was a passen- ger on the White Mountain express reached the point at which the trains met the groans of the injured and the dying filled the air. Persons who were crushed so as to be apparently beyond surgical aid begged piteously for as sist&ce.
 From the White Mountain express the passengers, many of whom were terrified by the shock. hurried to the assistance of those who were on the drain that was rammed. Hurried calls were sent out to all the nearby towns New Haven, Meriden, Wallingford. Hartford and Springfield.
 AS ito the cause of the wreck there Is yet no sufficient explanation. The Bar Harbor express had come to a standstill for a reason not given to those who sought information later The engineer of the White Mountain express says that he saw no lights and that no fagman came back to give him a warning. There was a dense fog at the time.
 A few minutes before the accident the Bar Harbor express had come to a halt about mile and one-half to the north of North Haven station. That town is on the original New Haven and Hartford line and is about eight miles from New Haven.
