ing gradually greater A hay farm sit uated from one to five miles distant from the hospital, with suitable pas turage for our young stock, should be secured. Land of this character can be purchased at reasonable rate, and would be most profitable investment.
 Water Supply.
 A small appropriation should be se- cured to carry down our first eight inch well to a depth of 400 feet Dur ing the past summer we attempted to pump the water from this we'll with our air compressors and found that the water was drawn down to such depth as to give insufficient submerg ence for economical pumping. Had it been possible to carry our pipes deeper more water would have been obtained at the expenditure of considerably less power
 Dock for Reception of Coal.
 Three thousand tons of bituminous coal is now consumed yearly by this hospital and with the buildings now under construction, finished and con tempiated additions made, in excess of four thousand tons will be used.
 A dock on the Thames river adja cent to the power house. where the coal could be brought by arge and unIoaded, would result in a saving of the freight from Allyn's Point to the hospital siding (30 cents a tor), and 8 part of the present discharging and weighing charges. The total saving secured would probably be not less than 40 cents per ton, yearly reduc ton in our fuel expense of approxi- mateiy S1200 The resultant saving would, I believe. pay very fair divi- derd on the cost of such dock and the necessary coal handling machin- cry, and I would respectfully recom- mend that sufficient appropriation for this purpose be requested.
 The bill of appropriations for the. hospital is now in the hands of the appropriations committee.

Each country has its distinctive types
Of glass, but 1t requires special and
well trained perception to tell the diff.
ference between some of the English
and Irish specimens Of the last century
and the careful copies which are now
being made of them in European facto-
ries. The latter, however, can gener.
ally be known by their greater white
ness and lightness of weight. Water
ford glass is now the most sought after
by collectors, but equally beautiful
pieces were made In the Cork and Dub
lin glass houses. Glassmaking can be
traced back for about 2.30O years to the
people who lived on the eastern shores
of the Mediterranean, but its origin has
never really been fixed. Its ingredients
are still the same. and their proper
tons seem to have varied very little.
Silica and an alkali-that is, quartz or
flint and potash or soda-are still used.

The Sequel TO Baron James Posing as
an Artists Model.
Many stories. with or without good
foundation, are told of the Rothschild
family. In book, "The Romance of
the Rothschilds," by Ignatius Balla,
one is related of Baron James Roth
schild, who looked after the interests
Of the firm In Paris. The famous
painter, Eugene Delacroix, who was
struck with the features of Baron
Rothschild. decided that he would like
to have the baron for a model dressed
in beggar's rags.
The baron liked the idea and consent.

the painters studio attired in costume
proper to his part and when be knock.
ed one Of the artists pupils opened the
door. He looked compassionately at
the poor beggar" and gave him a coin
or two. He was not-a little astonish.
ed when on the following day a serv-
ant OF Baron Rothschild handed him
the following letter:
Dear Slr-You will find inclosed the can

STORIES OF SHERIDAN.

The Great Writer Had a Hard Time
Dodsing His Creditors.
Like many a brilliant man before
and since his time, Richard Brinsey
Sheridan had a habit of resting on his
oars a bit too long when he thought
himself tired. Then, finding himself
short of money, he would borrow. This
habit Increased with his years, and
moreover. his efforts to discharge his
obligations grew less and less. His
reputation at last was such that trades
men demanded cash on delivery.
Benjamin Robert Hayden, who was
himself woefuIy addicted to the same
bad habit, tells with evident glee two
stories Of his fellow sufferer.
A butcher one day brought leg OF
mutton to sheridan's house. The cook
took 1t, put 1t into the kettle, and went
upstairs for the money. AS she stayed
away some time, the man entered the
kitchen, took of the cover of the
kettle, hshed out the joint and walked
Off with II.
But the laugh was not always on
Sheridan. A creditor whom he had
successfully avoided for some time
came plump upon him as he emerged
from Pail Mall There was no possi-
bility of lodging. but Sheridan did not
lose his presence of mind.
"Oh," said he, that's q beautiful
mare you're onP'
"D'ye think so?"
Eyes, indeed. How does she trotT
The creditor was pleased-even fat
tered. He told Sheridan he should see
and Immediately urged the mare to do
her prettiest. But long before the
animals best pace was reached, sher-
idan had turned again into Pail Mall
and was lost In the crowd.-Exchange

Mode" Of Punishment.
In colonial days hog stealing was
considered one Of the most serious Of
crimes. At the first offense the thiefs
ears were slit, at the second his ears
were nailed to a pillory. and at the
third he suffered death without bene-

In 1895 Thomas Hartley of Virginia
wrote Of his Witnessing the execution
Of a ducking stool sentence:

lence of her tongue made her house

"Ye Woman was allowed to 20 under

they drew back We Machine, united re

HE HAS DEVICE TO PREVENT
TRAIN WRECKS-ASKS PRIZE
Connections Man Thinks He Has Won
Right to $4,000 Reward.

Harry Needles OF Winsted, Conn.
explained to the public utilities com
mission recently a device to prevent
railroad wrecks with which he hopes
to win a prize Of $4,000 offered by
President Mellen Of the New Haven
Railroad company for such a safe
guard.
The device consists of two uprights
Of unequal length attached to the roof
Of car, connected with the interior by
wires, and signal posts with crossarms
alongside the track which when set for
danger STRIFE the uprights and by
means Of the interior wiring apply
emergency brakes TO the train.
When the signal arm is set at an an
gle of forty-five degrees it can strike
only the longer of the two uprights,
the effect of which is to open the air
valves only enough to reduce the speed
Of the train to thirty miles an hour
This is designed for use at crossovers
after passing which the valves close
again and the higher speed is resumed

DR.. FLEXNER FINDS
CHILD PARALYSIS GERM.
Famous Physician Photographs the
Remarkable objeet-causes Furore.

Before an audience that packed the
medical amphitheater of Johns Hop
kins hospital DR.. Simon Flexner, di-
rector of the Rockefeller Institute For
Scientific Research, announced recent
ly that he had discovered, isolated,
cultivated and photographed the germ
of infantile paralysis.
The announcement was greeted by
the physicians, surgeons and medical
students with prolonged applause as
a great step forward in medical re-
search.
Illustrating with cro-photographs,
DR.. Flexner said the germ was one Of
the smallest ever identified. As shown
on the screen in an enlarged view of
section of spinal cord infected with
il the germ appeared in a chainlike
form in a wavy line.
He said he had employed insects,
which We're allowed to bite monkeys
infected with the disease and that the
Insects thus became infected for eight
days, but he had not succeeded in re
versing the process
DR.. Flexner said that in cultivating
the germ a medium freed from oxygen
had been found necessary and that the
germ never would be found in blood
or in any cavity containing oxygen.
