Now York.—Twenty-nine years' prac •ice as surgeon to the London Cancer hospital so thoroughly convinced Dr Herbert Snow of London that "what passes with the public for cancer re search is utter moonshine.” that he I stirred the members of the Anti-Vivi 'section society meeting here the other night with a condemnation of ' the whole system of experimentation upon the subhuman animals" It is, he said, both unscientific and futile. No inference can be drawn direct ly/' he declared, 'from any phenomena iu the subhuman animal to mankind. The fundamental differences of struc ture in every direction are enormous.” As an instance, he pointed out that lemonade, a healthful and refreshing beverage for man. was deadly poison to cats and rabbits. ' Salt/' he said, "is latal to chickens: prussic acid promptly kills men and elephants, but horses and hyenas take ; it w ith impunity. Rabbits eat bella ; donna, goats are fond of the tobacco plant and of conium. the hemlock which killed Socrates. And so in a hundred cases one sees the mischiev ous character of drug experiments on the lower animals.” The only sure path to scientific in struction was, he contended, by the rew-renl observation of the actual dis eases in the human being, living or ' lead. Peculiar Language Discovered. Portland. Ore.—Prof. Lee Prachten burg of the Smithsonian institution at Washington, who has just completed a study of the Alsea tribe of Indians in Lincoln county and the Umpquas in Curry county, says the Alseas have a language distinct from all other of the u7 basic tongues of the American Indi ans. He says it Is one of the 12 known languages using the gender in the verb -that is. the same action by a man and a female is designated by a differ ent term. This peculiarity is shared by certain inhabitants of northern A ia, those of a small section of south ern Asia and by the Kaffirs of South Africa.

New Tor*.—Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American btuaeun. of Natural History, in a mono * rnspb on the dinosaur “mummy," which b i5 ji st l»een put on exhibition at the museum, says that in spite of the fact that scientists have been well acquaint ed with the dinosaur for 40 years or more, not until this one came into the possession of the museum and was pre pared for exhibition did palenotologists have correct or extensive information as to the outer covering of these strange animals. Pt ofessor Osborn says the museum's specimen, found by the veteran fossil hunter. Charles H. Sternberg of Kan sas, is entitled to be called the dinosaui ' mummy" because in all parts of the animal except the hind legs and tail, the epidermis Is shrunken around the limbs, tightly drawn along the bony surfaces and contracted like a curtain below the chest area. According to Professor Osborn, the condition of the epidermis suggests, as a theory in explanation of the preser vation of the remarkable specimen, that after dying a natural death the animal was not preyed upon by other enenqjes, but that the body lay ex posed to the sun entirely undisturbed for a long time, perhaps upon a broad -'m* flat of a stream In the low water stage. f I I _ __& IE. Builder of Panama Railroad Commodore Aspinwall's Efficiency In Caring for Returning Gold Miners When One of His Steamers Was Stranded. In 1850. following the discovery of gold in California. Commodore Will iam It Aspinwall. Commodore Van derbilt's great rival in the waters about New York, retired from his great shipping firm and devoted all his time to building the Panama rail road. across the isthmus of that name, and establishing steamship lines to connect it at Aspinwall mow Colon) from New York and at Panama for San Francisco. At enormous expense and great loss of life. Aspinwall completed his rail road in 1S55. and among the home ward-bound gold seekers who had the distinction of being the first passen gers carried eastward by the road was Mr. Budley Jones, now- a promi nent resident of Little Rock. Ark., and the head of a large manufacturing corporation. "In the spring of 1855.“ said Mr. Jones, recently. "I was a passenger fiom San Francisco to Panama on the big Aspinwall steamer Golden Gate— or was it Golden Age? There were eight hundred of us returning forty niners. and a crew of one hundred men. We had a fairly good run down the coast and were about to turn north some two hundred miles below Panama when the ship, while passing between two islands, ran on the coral reef known as Quibo Island. '“When the sidewheeler struck I was sleeping on the upper deck only a few feet from where Commodore Aspin wall and two or three of his old cap tains were standing admiring the scenery and the bright moonlight and speculating at what hour next morn ing we would reach Panama. Instant ly I was awake and saw everything that followed "It was a critical moment. Had the order been given to head for the mainland, the vessel would not have gone her length before sinking into deep water, with the loss of most of her passengers’. Whether Commodore Aspinwall or one of his captains gave the right order I don't know, but while the big ship was seemingly rocking in her death throes, with clouds of steam insuring from her hatches, her nose was pushed by emergency means into the sandy beach which we could dimly see lying a few rods ahead, and in a twinkling a cable was made fast to one of the big trees fringing it. "By the tinje this had been done as many of the passengers as could find standing room had rushed to the deck. The big boat gradually settled down at the stem until she rested on the bottom with a slight list to port. The gold dust was rushed to deck and piled in the bow. It was in very strong boxes, each about six inches wide and fifteen inches long, and there was $4,000,000 worth of it. I-ater. two boats were sent out from the ship—one to the head of the island to intercop* *he outgoing steamer then about due. if she should happen to take the passage on the other side of the island, and the other with orders to proceed to Panama for aid unless 1t fell in with the outward bound steamer. “During the three days that passed . before the big steamer Brother Jona than hove In sight there were no regu lar meals—everyone was glad to eat what he could get. There was no cook ing—no tables set. A place to spread a blanket was hard to find. The wa ter. at high tide, invaded the upper , cabins, and the lower, or second, j cabin was Hooded all the time Wild animals were heard during the night in the jungle Parrots and r*aro quet ts kept up a continual screaming And all the while there was much anxiety as to what the commander of the Brother Jonathan would do if he were intercepted. IVrhaps he would carry us off the way we had come to Acapulco, or even to San Francisco. And jierhaps we would have to wait 1 ill a steamer could be sent out from Panama to our relief. "Here is where the presence of Commodore Aspinwall stood us in good stead. As soon as the Brother Jonathan anchored at a safe distance from the reef we had struck, he or dered us to be taken aboard her. It was a rush order, and It took nearly twelve hours of steady work on the part of both crews to transfer passen gers. baggage and gold. It was just at dusk when the Brother Jonathan hoisted anchor and headed for Pan ama. to our intense relief and delight. "At Panama, the next morning, we were quickly disembarked. The tide being low. we were landed a quarter of a mile out on a coral reef and walk ed into the city. That night found us loaded in cars headed for Aspinwall. the first east-bound train to carry passengers on the Panama Railroad. The road was far from being finished. The tracks were slippery, the locomo tive light, and it had to be helped by a lot of n gro laborers pulling at long ropes "1 never saw Commodore Aspinwall after we left the wreck. Whether he stayed at Panama or went on with us to New York 1 do not know. And I never saw in any paper an account of our wreck or of the first east-bound passenger Train's trip serves the Isth mus of Panama." iCopyright. i31<\ by E. J Edwards. A! Rights Reserved.* Prophecy of Great Engineer General Serrell Predicted Another Cans! Would Be Built Across Isthmus of Panama Via the Bias Route. Gen. Edward Wellman Serrell. who died in 1906. was one of the great engi neers of the United Slates. He was as sociated w-ith seme of the most im portant and difficult engineering under takings of the time between the early forties and 20 years after the war. In the latter years of his life, which was much occupied with his pet pro ject of building a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama along what Is called the San Bias route, which lay some miles nearer the South American continent than the Panama canal. He projected his canal from the Gulf of San Bias, cn the Atlantic, to Pearl Is land harbor, on the Pacific; and he claimed that it could be built at sea level and cn a straight line, with nc j locks, less than SO miles from ocean to ocean, and not be cestly. He was al most heart-broken when it became ap parent to him that the government Odd Railroad Coincidences Westinghcuse Airbrake. Janney Coup ler and Steel Rails All Were Intro duced in America About the Same Time. "In my long career as a railway and business man I learned that whatever the emergency might be, however great the opportunity, there always came at the exact moment resources needed to meet the emergency or to grasp the opportunity," said the late James D. Layng. who for many years was associa.ed with prominent rail ways of the west—the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago, the Chicago and Northwestern, and the Big Four—in high official capacity. “I think, how ever. the most extraordinary demon stration of the truth of what I have just said was that which occurred in or near Pittsburg at the time I was with the Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne and Chicago. *'In 1S49 X assisted in making the first survey for any railroad west of Pittsburg. So enormously had the railway development of the mid-west been between that time and 1S68. the year of the three coincidences I have in mincT, that it had become apparent to all railway men that, unless there were some new inventions traffic would be congested, since railway equipment would not be sufficient to meet the demands made upon it. "We had just been seriously con cerned over the swift movement of trains between Pittsburg and Cincin nati—and especially because of an ac cident due to the inability of a rail road engineer to slow down a heavy freight train—when, one day, there called at Ay office a young man whom I knew, who said to me that he had an apparatus he had just perfected which would make It possible for a railroad I I j engineer completely to control a train ; —to bring it to a stop within the limit ! of safety. "I asked him to show me his ap paratus. He did so, and I was given authority to test it upon a specially ; prepared train on the Panhandle be tween Pittsburg and Steubenville. O. That was the way George Westing house's airbrake was introduced. "About that time—within a few months anyway—there also called upon me an apothecary whose home was in Alexandria. Ya. He toid me that a railway accident had occurred near Alexandria which caused much damage by reason of the fact that the cars had clashed together and were telescoped, and he added that he had invented an apparatus which would make telescoping impossible. “It told him to show me this ap paratus. and he did. 1 gave orders that it be adjusted to several cars and then be severely tested. In that way the Janney coupler, perfectly supple menting the air brake, was introduced. "Yet again, about the same time. J. Edgar Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania, told me that he wanted me to test the new steel rail which was then being first manufactured in ! England. I decided to put ten miles i of those steel rails upon a section of the Panhand'le a few miles out of Pittsburg. We gave the rails an ex- | haustlve test, and we decided that with a slight improvement they would make very heavy traffic possible. ‘These three features of modern railway equipment—the air brake, the Janney coupler, and the steel rail— which have made heavy and safe traf fic upon American railways |>ossihle. were all perfected, as I now remem ber. within a year.” (Copy-right. 1*11. by K. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) would decide in favor of the present Panama canal project. During a conversation that I hac with Gen. Sen-el! in 1S34, when discus sion over the probable government i anal across the Isthmus of Panams was attracting a great deal of anen <ion. 1 asked the general how he hac become interested in the constructior of a canal along the San Bias route "My belief in the feasibility of the San Bias route is due to two of mj earlier experiences as an engineer,” was the reply. "In the first place. 1 was one of the engineers employed bj Commodore William Aspinwall tc make a survey of the Panama railroad across the Isthmus of Panama so as tc shorten the route between the Atlantic coast and San Francisco in California gold days. That experiment made me very familiar with the isthmus; we went all over the San Bias route be fore der iding upon our final survey fot the Panama railroad. "In the next place, my experience with the Hoosac tunnel, one of the most exciting experiences of my life led me to realize how easily the Sar Bias route could be constructed in spite of the mountain that towers in its pathway near the center of the isth mus. "The state of Massachusetts had au thorized the construction of a tunnel under the great Hoosac mountain. That meant tunneling through solid rock about four and three-quarters miles and at the base of a mountain some 50© feet in height. "You can't Imagine how exciting and apprehensive we were as the workmen froni either end approached each oth er. At last one dsy the rocks were pierced from the cast to the west, and the driils met with a deviation of only a little over an inch. "Now. I said to myself, when I came to study this canal problem, if we could cut the Hoosac tunnel so accu rately as that, we could easily tunnel the San Bias mountain, although we might have to cut the tunnel a hundred feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet high. That, sir. would be a sim ple question of draughting. But with that mountain tunneled in that w-ay any ship could pass through, we should have a perfect sea-level canal only 30 miles long, the mountain tunneling be ipg only five miles, and good natural harbors at either end. "1 suppose that if it had not beer for my experience on the isthmus when surveying the Panama railroad and my work as the engineer ir charge of the Hoosac tunnel construc tion. 1 never should have thought of the San Bias interoceanic canal route. And 1 tell you," the great engineer add ed emphatically (and who dares to deny prophetically?) ‘‘that if our gov ernment decides upon the Panama or the Nicaraguan route, the day will surely come in the next century when an interoceanic canal will be construct ed hv privsjb capital via the San Bias route. And whenever that time comes, let the governmen* - : ook out for com petition.” tCopyright. l?’*\ by r\Iwards. All Righ:s Res rved.) Slipped One Over on Kent. Congressman Kent of California got in the other day. in the smoking room as his train passed through New Jer sey sat a large and prosperous look ing man. who eyed hint with evident interest. “Do you know that you look a lot like Governor Wilson of New Jersey?" asked the prosperous man of Kent. Kent said that no one had ever told him so. “Well, you do.” said thfc other. ••Gee! Wilson’s a homely man. Isn’t he?” Kent said that no one had ever told him that either.
