TL rff-;,r.t of tL roci'-tr for the less than that which the human being would euner from the permanent dis ability which threatened him. My sentence in this case would be the same, whether the dog has to take the knife with or without anesthesia. AnU-ririsectionists cry out quite too much against experimentation with curare. The common idea is that curare, affecting only the motor nerves quiets the subject, but leaves it per iectly sentient. The fact is that, curare U an anesthetic, as testified by Boel endorff. 1SC5; Lange, 1874; Romanes, 1S7S; Steiner, 1877, Binz. 18S4, and Lauder Brunton, 1887, all of whom say that the sensory nerves are depressed and paralyzed by curare. Thus the curarixed animal is renuered practical ly free of pain by the curare itself, but, as a matter of fact, morphia, chloral, etc.. are nearly always administered along with it, for the reason that pain materially Interferes with most vivi section experiments. There is, then, painless vivisection which, its painlessness being guaran teed, should be permitted to all phy- tlclana ana medical students; ana there is painful or sentient vivisection, vivisection without anesthesia. That this is sometimes allowable I cannot doubt, bat, as I have said, just when and under what restrictions laymen must leave medical men to say. Their verdict will probably be somewhat as iollowy: Painful vivisection may be divided into three classes or kinds. 1. The Pathologic The invasion of sentient living tissue with some sharp instrument for the purpose of originat ing disease in the animal, the examina tion or results of which may aid, di rectly or through the understanding of the disease, in its cure. This is legiti mate and should be free to all med.cal practitioners and students, under only the ordinary restrictions against cruel ty to animals. In this way antitoxin is obtained against diphtheria, and al so vaccine virus. 2. Merely Didactic; The cutting of rentient living tissues by or before students for the mere purpose of elu cidating already known points in the science. TLSs should be forbidden al together. The risk of pain and tor ture is too great, - 3. Scientific The cutting of sen tient living tissue for the purpose of obtaining new and important informa tion in physiology. This should be permitted to accredited physicians and professors, but only under rigid safeguards.

"The adverse decree of the nation and the repudiation of his party have imparted a sadness into his life, but they have only added to the purpose and strengthened the ideals 01 that life. ''The privilege of talking with him was granted me while the train was whirling us over the seven miles be tween Lupton and Brighton. I am not a Bryanist in politics and the im pressions of the man given here are the impressions of one who has always supported those political ideals ana principles directly opposed to the principles laid down in the platform on which he stands. But diaerence or opinion and the prejudice of party cannot blur the innate greatness of the man. One cannot talk ten minutes with him without feeling that here is a man who is greater than his party. whose thoughts are protounder and whose ideals are loftier than those of the mere politician; whose magnetic personality is that of a man bom to lead, whose honesty of purpose and un swerving and sincere loyalty to the principles he believes to be right are beyond question.

Several Slight Alterations In This Year's Rules. This year's changes in the college football rules do not affect the general style of the game, but there are a num ber of points which claim attention, says the New York Mall and Express. In section D of rule 4 the definition of a safety Is elaborated so as to make a kick by a player from behind his goal line, which sends the ball across the side line before It reaches the line of the goal posts, a safety. Heretofore 6uch a play would have given the opposing side a touchdown. The ball would have become theirs aa soon as It crossed the side line, and up on bringing it back they would have touched It down behind their oppo nents' (who kicked the ball) goal line. thus making a touchdown. The rules committee deemed this unfair and for that reason decided that the misplay should only result in a safety. A note has been added to rule 10, which deals with offside play. This more clearly defines "being ahead of the ball" and doing away with an In consistency as to what part of the ball should be reckoned upon as the decid ing line. Rule 12 is so altered that two minutes Is the maximum time to be taken out for delay: There Is also a slight change in the wording of the rule regarding the posi tion of the opposing players at the kick out and kick from fair catch. In rule 14 an omission has been supplied in case of a kick after touching ball in at side lines, requiring a kick of at least ten yards. Section A of rule 17 regard ing interference , and delaying the oth er side from putting the bail in play has been changed to prevent pulling about in the rush line. Such tactics will now be regarded as delaying the game and consequently subject to a five yard penalty. An addition has been made to section B of rule 21, dealing with downs, so that In case cf a penalty the number of the down shall remain the same; if otherwise It should be to the profit of the offending side. Rule 22 has been changed so as to stipulate that a kick after the ball has been touched in, aft er going out of bounds, shall be at least ten yards. To rule 25 a reqttlrement has been added that the referee, when a team is about to try for a goal, shall signal with his hand as- soon as the ball touches the ground. Heretofore this has been the general custom." Changes have also been made In rule 28, which deals with penalties. The wording ha the section with regard to penalties for interference with a fair catch has been altered so that the official may now judge more easily what course to pur sue. SELECTION QFCOLliniBIA Views of Yachtsmen on the Old Racing Queen's Chances. THESE OUT CONTEST WILL BE CLOSE KANSAS APPLE CROP. nisb Prices Predicted ly a "Well Known Leavenworth Packer. A. Smith, a noted apple packer, known in Kansas as "Apple Smith," ar rived In Leavenworth recently to ar range for packing apples on an exten sive scale. Mr.. Smith first started packing apples In Leavenworth county for shipment twenty-four years ago. He has packed apples in eastern Kan sas every season since except five, when the crop was too light to do so. Mr. Smith spends the summer months Investigating the apple prospects throughout the country, and there are few men better posted on the fruit crop and Incidentally the best points to ship apples to for marketing. "Leavenworth county farmers will get a good price for apples this fall,' was the opening remark of Mr. Smith when asked by the St. Louis Globe Democrat correspondent about the ap ple conditions. "The crop is light all over the country. There will not be many apples In New York, Pennsylva nia, Ohio or any of the eastern states. The crop Is poor in Tennessee and throughout the south. Apples and all kinds of fruit suffered from the hot, dry weather. Eastern Kansas suffered less than most places, and the apple crop here will be about SO per cent. The young trees seem to be doing well, and Kansas orchards promise to yield a fine quality. - "I noticed an Ohio apple buyer here on my arrival. Other representatives for eastern fruit firms will be In, and the price will be much higher than usual." The early apples will nearly all be shipped to northern points."

Naval Architect Points Ont How the Columbia Is Superior to the Constl tutton. "Lipton has the best chance to lift the cup that the other side ever had, said Commodore Frederick T. Adams of xthe Larchmont Yacht club when seen the other day by a New York Times reporter shortly after It became known that the Columbia would de fend the international cup. "The races, I believe, will be very close, the closest we have ever had. The chances, to my-mind, are equal. It will be even money in the betting; but, of course, I hope that Columbia will win. I have no criticism to make upon the action of the committee. It Is composed of com petent men, able yachtsmen, and I know they have carefully weighed ev ery point before determining that Co lumbia is the better boat. "The Constitution is a disappoint ment In that she has not come up to expectations, but I consider Columbia a much better boat than she was two years ago. She has been Improved and ha9 the grand advantage of a crew that works her to a nicety. I think I am stating the truth in ssyihg that ever since Sir Thomas Lipton arrived here he and his friends have feared the Columbia more than the Constitu tion. "I consider Shamrock II. a vastly su perior boat to Shamrock I. The chal lenger is one of the handsomest boats of her kind that I have ever seen, and I think she has Just as good a chance as the Columbia to win, but I do not believe there Is any valid proof to base the assumption that the new boat Is ten minutes faster than Shamrock L Watson, the new Shamrock's designer. has said that Columbia is a better boat than the Constitution, and I do not think the Lipton forces were very much surprised at the decision. It practically guarantees the closest kind of yacht racing." Commodore Adams has been a guest of Sir Thomas Lipton recently and has had ample opportunity to Inspect the challenger, and his assertion that the chances are- even Is based upon actual knowledge of the good points, of both boats. When asked if he believed Her- reshoff had reached the limit of speedy yacht designing, he unhesitatingly re plied that he did. "Uerreshoff had every means at his hand to do his best, and unlimited cap ital behind him," said Commodore Ad ams, "but the Constitution has not shown any all around euperiority over the old boat. The Columbia, therefore. stands as the best example of Ilerre shoff s yachting ability." Percy Chubb said: "I think the Shamrock's chances of winning are considerably brightened by selecting the Columbia. I am not yet ready to admit that the latter is faster than the Constitution, but under present condi tions she Is assuredly better fitted for the cup race than the new yacht. The trouble with the Constitution, I believe. has been with her sails. . She never had such a set of sails as a boat of her style should have. Herreshoff has been sick and unable to give much attention to the boat, and he has not given her proper sails. It Is a difficult matter, I know, to fit a boat like the Constitu tion. That trouble has been her great weakness. The Columbia Is in fine shape now, and I expect her to win." There was no criticism of the com mittee among the yachtsmen who were spoken to on the selection of the Co lumbia. Most of them had made up their minds apparently that the Co lumbia was the better boat, but several had expected that in view of the Con stitution's better showing in the second race, combined with her unfortunate sail accident, another trial race would be held. Still on this point there was scarcely any criticism, for it was ac knowledged that the time was getting late. One practical yachtsman who did not wish to be quoted said that It was quite likely the committee In making Its decision before another trial had taken Into consideration the handling of the boats, which has been vastly su perlor on the Columbia. Its crew has been better than the men sailing the Constitution, as several changes have taken place in the crew of the latter boat. On the other hand, the Colum bia's crew know their boat perfectly and can be depended upon to get every Inch of speed out of her. This, there fore, made a strong point In selecting the old boat, it was believed. The speaker was also inclined to believe that Uerr?shoff had done his best with the Columbia and could not Improve upon her. "Watson has made the Shamrock a close copy of the Colum bia," he added, "and if Herreshoff can not improve upon her I am sure Wat son could not beat her." That the coming races would be close every man admitted, and there was an unmistakable feeling of excitement about the outcome that had not been so apparent previous to the selection of a- defender. The yachtsmen, how ever, were all Inclined to believe that the Columbia would prove the winning boat again. A. Cary Smith, J. Beavor-Webb and other prominent yacht designers would express no opinion upon the technical merits of either boat, nor would they say that they believed Ilerreshoff had reached his limit In bringing out fast latsCarmltjjoojw, on plans for a yacht for the emperor of Germany. "It would be a violation of profes sional etiquette for me to say anything regarding the merits of the two boats," he said. - A prominent naval architect of New York city, a member of a large con structing firm, said the other night to a reporter of the New York Herald that the challenge, committee in selecting the Columbia as the America's cup de fender had probably come to the con clusion that she was a safer and more reliable, boat than the Constitution. The architect, who did not care to have his name mentioned, added that the Co lumbia had won the majority of her races with the Constitution and that under the circumstances it was fair to presume that the Constitution's defeat was not due to the poor sails, but to the fact that she was inherently an Infe rior boat. The Constitution had three main sails and three complete sets of other sails, while the' Columbia had but one set, and certainly one of the Constitu tion's three should be as good as the Columbia's one. The challenge com mittee, in reviewing the records of the two yachts, had probably been influ enced by certain facts which did not admit of dispute. The Columbia had a much heavier hull than her rival and had proved herself to be sound and solid. As much could not be said for the Constitution. So far as known, it had not been necessary to make any re pairs on the Columbia's hull. Repairs bad, on the other hand, been found necessary on her rival, although the latter had only been In one seaway. The Constitution had lost her main mast, and it had had to be replaced. The Columbia had gone through one entire season with but a single mishap, and that had not occurred during a race. The construction of the Consti tution, moreover, had been in the na ture of an experiment, although it was true that she did not differ radically from the Columbia. The Constitution finally had not been thoroughly tested in heavy weather and in a bad sea, and, on the whole, the Columbia had prob ably seemed the safer boat of the two. The naval architect said that he did not care to discuss the relative merits of the Columbia and the Shamrock II. and explained that Indeed it was im possible to do so, there being no data by which the two could be compared. Any attempt to forecast the result of the cup races would also be futile, and he believed it was but empty talk to say that the races would be close. No one could say what the yachting future held In store. Incidentally the nautical expert ob served that it would be interesting to know Just what had been done about the Columbia's new mainsail. Now that she had been chosen to defend the cup a new sail had to be forthcoming. OPEN AIR SLEEPING. Benefits Derived From the Habit That Is Said to Be Growing. The habit of sleeping in the open air grows. "With nothing between you and the sky" is becoming not only the healthful but the fashionable way to sleep, says the New York Evening Sun. Only in summer, of course, can most of us indulge in the practice, and not many of us then, summer hotels and cottages being still somewhat given to roofs. The number of persons who take to tents and other modes of sleep ing out of doors each summer is, how ever, greatly on the increase. For little children the habit of taking their slumber as much as possible in the open is particularly recommended. "I saw a child the other day," said a woman, "who had never napped in doors. In summer it slept out, nights and all, but on the coldest days it nap ped on piazzas or balconles well wrap ped up, of course, but nevertheless ex posed to the air in a way to make its nightcapped ancestors turn in their graves. The appearance of this child was enough to convince any one of the benefit of open air slumber. Plumpi rasy, smiling, it had not only splendid health, but a charming disposition. It was never fretful, peevish nor cross, nor had it, evidently, any physical rea son to be. It was a fine advertisement for the open air sleeping cure, if cure It may be called. I should say it was a scheme that worked both ways as cure and as preventive." WHEN OTHERS FAIL CONSULT Bonght Rare Book From Junkman. A rare find was made by a New Haven bookseller the other day among some old volumes purchased from a Junk dealer, says the New York Times. The lucky dealer is John W. Cadby, and the volume is a first edition, uncut, of Whittier's "Moll Pitcher, published in 1832, without the poet's name, by a Boston firm. The book Is exceedingly rare and was sold in New York in the Foote collection in 1894 for $90 and later for S100. Mr. Cadby has disposed of his find to Dodd, Mead & Co. of New York. Pan-American's Effect on Churches. Many of the Buffalo churches are seeking to "live up to" the Pan-American exposition by doing something for the spiritual welfare of their visitors, says The Church Economist Speaking for the ministers of the city, a well in formed Buffalo layman expresses the opinion that fully nine In ten of them either took their vacations early or not at all. in order. that they could be at home all summer to answer personal calls and keep their churches open.

Frenchmen Wild Over Ills Approach lag Visit to France. "The one thing talked of In Paris to day is the approaching visit of the czar to France," said Daniel J. Healyj a prominent business man of St. Louis,' at the Holland House the other day to a New York Tribune reporter. Mr. Healy had Just returned from Paris and was talking about the preparations in Prance for the visit of the czar. "The French are a volatile nation," continued Mr. Healy, "and, to Judge by their enthusiasm, they have no rec ollection of Napoleon's disastrous Jun ket Into Russia, which was the fore runner of the decay of France. As It may be, however, Paris Is wild over the coming visit of the czar.
