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.

FOOTBALL CHANGES."
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.

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."

Commodore Adams Says Sir Thomas
Llpton Has an Even Chance to Win.
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.

COMING OF THE CZAR.
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. The
French regard the Russians as invinci
ble allies in a complication with Eng
land, and every effort Is being made to
welcome the czar and give him a greet
ing that he will remember. ;
"The newspapers devote columns each
day to the preparations for the royal
visit The whole army is to be turned1
out for review by the czar, and ships
are being called in from the Mediter
ranean and other stations to make the
naval display at Dunkerque the more
Imposing. Elaborate preparations have
been made to insure the safety. of the
czar. All undesirable foreigners will1
be expelled from Dunkerque, and the
chateau at Compiegne will be closely!
guarded by troops. The coming visit
of the czar is reflected in the boule
vards of Paris by peddlers apd fakirs
selling souvenirs of the visit and Rusi
slan flags and other articles commem-,
orative of the event."

' Paraffin From the Golf.
For a long time coast dwellers re
ported there has been washed ashore
In the Rockport country by gulf waves
a white substance they knew nothing
about, but which has the appearance
of paraffin. This has been gathered up
by some people, and a few days ago a
brick of it was sent to A. C. Hall, a:
oil prospector In San Antonio, Tex.'
Mr. Hall . pronounced it paraffin and
went to the coast country to investi
gate, says the Galveston News. He Is
back and says that the reports are true
that the paraffin Is washed In from he
gulf, but from where he has no idea.
At one place as much as 300 pounds
was gathered up by coast dwellers,
who knew nothing of Its value. Hall
Is of the opinion that paraffin oozes
from an oil deposit below the water
and that It is practically refined by4
the action of the sea water. The coast
dwellers claim that this stuff has been
coming In from the gulf for several
