Market for Apples and Prunes.

The people of Norway usually de-
pend on the Norwegian apple crop and
the Seryian prune crop for the greater
part of their winter fruit supply. Dur
ing the present season the apple crop
in Norway is very light, being practi-
cally failure: Servia, being at war,
will be unable to supply prunes.
These conditions furnish an oppor-
tunity for American exporters OF
fruits to find large market this sea-
son in Norway for dried and green
apples and prunes, says Consul Gen
eral Michael J. Hendrick, Christiania.
While American fruits, both green and
dried, are largely sold in Norway,
none were heretofore imported direct
" from the United States, wholesale
dealers in Hamburg, Germany, through
local agents, furnishing the supply.

The Physlcian,s Life.

The study of medicine Is an en-
trancing subject; its practice requires
an array of virtues whose mere con-
temptation staggers the mind. One
must meet violence with gentleness,
ingratitude with equanimity, insult
with fortitude, Islander with silence.
The physicians life is daily exempli-
fcation of the Golden Rule. The very
constituencies that inspires sympathy
with pain and misery Is weapon in
the hands of ignorance and malice
wherewith they deal dreadful wounds,
wounds which must be endured silent
~. Resentment can have no place in
the physicians mind. Equanimity
must be maintained In the face of mis-
apprehension and abuse.-From RE
creations of a Physician" by A. Stuart

DRILLED SOLDIER UNDER FIRE
Reckless Courage Shown by Russian
Captain In Driving Fear From
Subordinate.

At Sebastopol, during the siege, a
Captain Samoiloff, wishing some wine,
ordered an officer to send man for
1t. The man, young soldier, took the
money and started on the errand. Just
then, however, French battery had
concentrated its fire upon the very
spot where the young man must go
outside the works. He stopped and
turned back
Il wouldn't go out there for the
world" he said.
An officer, OF course, reported the
act Of disobedience to the captain. The
captain, in a rage, ordered the man
into his presence and demanded why
he had not obeyed his order.
81 beg you 70 pardon me, captain,
but was terribly afraid"
Afraid" cried the captain. Afraid!
A Russian soldier afraid! Wait min
ute. / will drive the fear out Of you.
Come with me-"
The captain LED the way to the ram
part, mounted 1t, and there, with the
bullets raining round him, began put
ting the man through some military ex-
ercises. The lookers-on in the fort held
their breath. If hat was put on a.
bayonet and lifted above the walls
the bullets came that way on the in
slant
Not many seconds elapsed before a.
bullet struck the captain in the arm.
He did not vince, but kept on with his
drill, while the blood dripped down his
hand to the wall
Next bullet went through the tail
Of the soldiers coat, and another
through his knapsack. Then suddenly
the firing ceased.
The soldier begged for grace and
promised to go wherever he was sent.
Still the captain continued his drill.
When he thought the lesson had been
learned, or, perhaps, when his wound
grew too painful, he dismissed the sol
der and went himself to the surgeon
and had his arm dressed.
The French explained afterward
that they ceased firing out Of sheer
establishment at the sight of the two
men exposing themselves so reck-
lessly.

STUCK TO HIS FRIEND
BORROWER INSPIRED BY SPIRIT
OF LOYALTY.
Had Altogether Too Much SeIf-Re.
spect to Apply to Anyone Else
While Old Neighbor Had
Things to Lend.

No one could truthfully deny that
most of the small farmers of Dilmouth
were addicted to borrowing farming
tools chiefly although as occasion
arose they would borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness
The burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried to
keep them in condition for use. The
advent of new farmer, a well-to-do
man who brought with him almost
every known appliance for filling the
ground, seemed to open an avenue OF
escape from some of his troubles.
"Mebbe some of these hawks'll take
toll firm that man Barney that's taken
the OF Staples place for a SPELL" he
confided to his son. II hope SOL do
so. My seedtine and harvest has
come in between the times when 9th
er folks was a-usin' my farnnin' tools
ever since can remember, and I've
got about tired out. I'm goin' TO see
if can't turn some Of 'em his way,
and get a little rest"
Caleb made his first attempt at
turning them" when Jake Meader, his
nearest neighbor and an inveterate
borrower, came for the wheel hoe,
which lay in the tool shed with one
wheel broken. Jake went to the shed
and examined the hoe, and then re-
turned to the grind-stone, where Caleb
and his son were grinding scythes.
Jake's face wore a dissatisfied express
sion.
"Ain't you goin' into Bangor some
time this afternoon, Caleb?" he in
quired, anxiously.
Mr.. Peaslee drew his thumb care
fully along the scythe, testing the
edge.
81 d'know but mebbe I SHALL" he re-
turned, noncommittally. 'Why?"
"Why!" returned Jake, in aggrieved
surprise. "On account Of that wheel
hoe-that's why. Here it's been laying
right there in that shed for four-five
days with the wheel broke, and the
weeds gettin' higher Inv my beets every
minute. callated to borrow it this
afternoon and see If couldn't get 'em
thinned out a little-and here / find
that you amt got it fixed yeti"
Caleb regarded the borrower with a
fine irony, tempered by an exasper-
ated amusement.
"See here, jake" he said at length,
"if my tools amt in shape to suit you,
why don't you go up the road a piece
and try Barney. He's got everything
you need in the way of tools-mebbe
you can get jest what you want there,
and get it when you want it. I'd
REILLY ruther you'd try him SPELL"
Jake turned to Caleb face full of
wounded dignity.
beats all how a man'll live right
alongside of another man for years,
| and not know him, after ALL" he burst
out, earnestly. II want you to know,
Caleb Peaslee, that amt none of your
towhiffie-minded folks Them that

Hunting Echoes With an Arc Light.

Locating echoes by light beams,
with subsequent correction of bad
acoustics, has been developed into an
exact science by experimenters in the
University of Illinois. Beams from an
arc light are directed from the stage
to all parts of an auditorium and the
detection of light from walls and pill
lars is noted. Results are checked up
by observing the sound Of the Kissing
travelling in the same course as the
light.
Experience has shown just what
conditions produce the most trouble
some echoes and with the information
given by the light beams the condi-
tons are readily improved by hang
ing curtains at troublesome points

State Health Dept. Sends
Special Warning Against
Contagious Diseases.
ASKS PUBLIC TO COOPERATE

AT this time of the year contagi-
Gus diseases seem to boom, due to the
opening Of the school,, declared DR..
G. A. Harper, state health officer, in
discussing the number Of contagious
diseases in the state during the last
month. DR.. Harper said that diph-
liberia was one of the diseases that
showed an increase during October.
Communicable diseases can not be
fought by an individual, by local
board of health or by the state board
of health alone, continued Mr.. Har-
per. "Only with the cooperation of
every individual in community can
communicable diseases be effectively
decreased. Communicable diseases are
diseases of community life."
During the month of October, 312
cases of diphtheria and 26 deaths were
reported to the state board of health.
There were only 81 more cases report
ed for the entire quarter of July,
August and September, the total num-
Der of this period being 500 cases as
against 312 cases reported in October.
The same is true of typhoid and small
pox. During July, August and Sep
TENDER 1853 cases of typhoid and
smallpox. while in October 103 cases
of typhoid and 223 cases of small
pox were reported. According to
the opinion, OF the authorities at the
Office of the state board of health this
increase in communicable diseases is
largely traceable to the opening of
school.
During the month of October there
was a total of 1,201 cases of communi-
cable diseases reported to the state
board of health, as follows:

ENTIRE VILLAGE
MENACED BY FIRE.
Wind Saves Much Damage at
Washington, N. j., and Limits
Loss to 81 3 900.
Especial to the Newark star.I

WASHINGTON, N. J., Jan. 22.-To
the high wind which prevailed early
today is attributed the fact that a
large part of Washington was not
destroyed by fire. AS it was. the
flames swept through the large pa
vilion at Skalla's Park, causing the
almost complete destruction of the
building at an estimated loss of SlS,-
000
The fire quickly spread to the near
by residences and barns and would
have caused serious damage but for
the fact that the wind blew the
flames into the open space.
Lester Lippincott, who lives in the
vicinity of the pavilion. gave
the alarm, The fire had gained
considerable headway by that
time, and the firemen. under the
direction of John Hill. the new fire
chief. devoted their attention to saw
ing the buildings around ii. The
pavilion was built of heavy timber
and the heat was SO scorching that
the residents of neighboring homes
were almost frightened into running
from their houses in their night
clothes.
The wind was then blowing in the
direction of the open park in front
of the pavilion, and the grass and
shrubbery were ignited. Sparks from
the burning building were scattered
In all directions and it was with diff
ficulty that the firemen were able to
keep the flames from spreading.

NEW TRANSFER
PROPOSITION TO
WORKS BOARD.
Public Service Claims That 1t
Would Facilitate
Travel.
WILL DIVIDE TROLLEY
SYSTEM INTO CLASSES
crosstown Lines TO Act as Di-
visionaI Points in
Plan.


The Public Service Corporation yes
terday submitted a new transfer plan
to the Board of Works. the feature of
which, as told in the Evening Star
last night, was the provision for a
transfer on a transfer on the cross
town lines.
In explaining that the company
had devised a new transfer arrange
ment, L. D. Howard Gilmour. of the
company's law department. declared
1t was a difficult proposition and one
that would naturally be subjected to
adjustment to fit future conditions.
Matthew w. Boylan, general audi
tor for the company, explained that
under the plan decided upon the troll
ley lines of the city will be divided
into three classes: First, lines rum
ming north and south: second, lines
running east and west; third, cross
town or second transfer lines.
The crosstown lines are to be the
divisional lines in the new plan. On
these lines a transfer on a transfer
will be furnished by the company
which will eliminate the cry that Is
now heard that a person living in
Forest Hill cannot get to section in
Clinton Hill without travelling around
the entire city.
Inc Dlan. as outlined Dy MT. BOY
Ian, will also eliminate looping. such
as is so prevalent, for instance. on
the Orange and Central lines. In one
hour. the noon hour. according to Mr..
Boylan, almost $50 people utilize these
two lines to come from downtown
and return on a five-cent fare.
This practise will be done away
with by the inauguration of a new
form of transfer, a directional trans
fer. The transfers will bear on them
the designation of the direction In
which the passenger is travelling and
the various directions will be dis
tinguished by the color of the trans
fer
None of the existing transfer
privileges we're being curtailed and
the only thing the company was in
sisting upon was the elimination of
looping. Mr.. Boylan said in conclu-
sion Trolley Inspector Joseph Craw-
ford, of the Board of Works, de-
clared that one of the advantages of
the new system would be to divert
traffic FROM the -Four Corners by the
more extended use of the crosstown
lines due to the transfer on trans
fer privilege.
The question as to whether the
f1rst point of intersection .should be
the transfer point was brought UP
by Mr. Crawford, who advocated the
first point of intersection as the
logical transfer point President
Charles F. Kraemer did not share
the same view in this matter and 1t
was finally left open for future dis
cussion.

LOCAL DOCTORS USE
NEW ANESTHET|C
Nitrous Oxide Gas Administered
in Case of Mrs. Arthur
Ward KitcheIl.

A new anesthetic, which may les
sen the danger attendant upon long
and hazardous surgical operations,
has been brought into prominence by
the case of Mrs. Arthur Ward Kitch-
ell, of 72 Elizabeth avenue.
She underwent a two-hour opera
tion with this anesthetic, nitrous OK
ide gas, yesterday. She recovered
quickly from the effects of the anes-
thetic. Her cheeks retained their
color, her nails were flushed and her
ears pink, indicating that her vitality
had been maintained during the op-
Grafton. Her general condition was
practically as good at the end as at
the beginning. and that is usually
not so when ether or chloroform are
used. Today her condition is said to
show remarkable lack of reaction
or weakness.
Her case is being watched by a
number of physicians. Her husband
is himself an osteopathic specialist.
The nitrous oxide gas. practically
new anesthetic for surgical pur-
poses. was administered by c. NJ.
Peabody, of Is Prospect street. South
Orange, a dentist. who has made a
special study of that anesthetic and
has become an expert in its use.
DIR. Nelson K. Benton, of 2ll Clin-
ton avenue, performed the operation,
which was for intestinal trouble of a
critical nature. He was assisted by
DR.. Royal NJ. Cohn, of 255 Clinton
avenue.
The operation took place in DR..
home and it lasted two
hours. When Mrs. Kitchell had been
a previous operation chloro-
form was used. At the end of it her
face was blue and her general vitality
was very low. Yesterday she re-
covered quickly from the effects of
the nitrous oxide gas, and appeared
to be as strong as when the operation
began.
The nitrous oxide gas is compare
lively expensive anesthetic, and
elaborate apparatus Is necessary for
administering it. Dentists. however.
have been using ii to some extent for
minor dental operations. When Mrs.
Kitchelrs case is reported on in the
medical journals it is expected that
the use of the anesthetic may become
more general. especially in hospitals
where a large number of operations
take place and the cost would be re-
duced to a minimum
