EW YORK, N. Y.. April 26.
Plans for a. great sewage dis
posal plant which will involve
the building of a new island three
miles out at sea and the expenditure
of more than $37,000,000 for its com
pletion and the purification of all the
city's waters, have been completed
her., which when they are finally put
into effect, will give this city ' the
most efficient sewage disposal sys
tem in the country.
At present the city's sewage flows
into the rivers in which a great part
remains, carried back and forth by
the tide, instead of going out to sea.
Under the new plan, however, this will
al! be done away with. Broadly
speaking this remarkable plan -calls
for a 12 foot tunnel under Brooklyn
to an island to be built in the shall
ower waters three miles out at sea,
ofi Coney Island Through this tun
nel the sewage would be pumped to
the new island where all the impurl
t'es would be eliminated before it is
finallv allowed to flow into the ocean.
The cost of buiunng the island has
been placed at $I.eM and its di
mensions as now planned axe 1800
feet in length by 1000 feet in width,
gi ing. an area of about 40 acres. A
harbor will be provided for tanK
steamers which will be employed as
carriers of the sludge removed from
he water before it is allowed' tT flow
into the sea.

Establishment of Methodist
Church in America Due to
Barbara Heck.
AMERICANS FOUND
RELIGIOUS ORDERS
W
ASHTNGTON. D. C, April 26.
The establishment of the great
Methodist church in America
owes much to the devoted energy of
Barbara Heck who was one of the
early converts of John "Wesley. She
succeeded in Interesting a number of
people sufficiently to give subscrip
tions toward the erection of a church
for the new denomination. The
building on John street in New York
was the first Methodist church built
ir America. Most of the labor con
nected with the building -was done by
her cousin, Philip Embury, the pastor
of the church, but Barbara Heck is
credited with having whitewashed the
walls with her own hands.
American women have been most ac
tive in the foreign mission field, car
rying the Christian religion'to every
land which would receive them. The
laws of many countries prohibited
women from receiving instruction from
a man, but the woman missionary
would be received and welcomed. Mary
Lyon, the founder of Mt. Holyoke sem
inary, was one of the leaders in re
ligious missionary zeaL For years not
a class graduated from her seminary
which did not include one or more
missionaries ready for the field, and
it is said that during the first six
years of her presidency, not a pupil
left the school without a firm relig
ious faith.
I Revival of Church Custom.
The order of deaconesses, which
now exists in a number of the Protest
ant churches, is a revival of the ear
lier church custom which had fallen
into disuse for centuries. The first of
the modern deaconess houses was
founded at Kaiserwerth, Germany, in
1SJ6, by pastor Theodore Fliedner. of
tne united Evangelical church. The
yu iiBituiiiss institution was es
tablished in London, in 1861. as a part
of the Church of England, and the
Churoh of Scotland adopted the office
wi deaconess in iss-88.
In America the first sisterhood was
in the parish of the Holy communion
of New York. It was initiated In 1S45
and fully established in 1857. It was
authorised by Dr. Muhlenberg and
bishop Potter. A deaconess sisterhood:
also was organized in Mobile, in 1864.
The canon providing for the regular es
stablishment of the order of deacon
esses was passed for the Episcopal
churches in America in 1889 and build
irge for deaconesses training schools
were begun in New York and Phila
delphia in 1900 and 1901.
lrt Methodist. Training School, .
The MethoOlsf church authorised the
establishment of the-order in its de
nomination in the general conference of
1888, and the first training school of
that church was the Elizabeth Gam
ble Deaconess Home ODened in Cin
cinnati the same year. Most of the
large cities now have deaconess homes
of several denominations, and the uni
forms of the deaconesses are recogn! sed
everywhere. Their work includes every
thing calculated to Improve unfor
tunate humanity.
In large cities the deaconesses are
doing valiant work for the arrest of
the social evil. Sometimes they visit
police stations, attend juvenile courts,
look after wayward girls, nurse the
sick poor, conduct all kinds of educa
tional classes, in addition to acting as
pastor's assistants and attending to a
large amount of parish visiting. Their
work is now being classified according
to their separate callings. There are
nurse deaconesses, teacher deaconesses,
missionary deaconesses and deacon
esses, whose activities may include
these three and many other vocations.
There are thousands of them In this
country now, and each year the train
ing schools are turning out hundreds
of consecrated young women who -will
devote their lives to the moral nrim
Nof the world.
Catholic women in America have been
active in many beneficent works from
colonial days. The founder of the or
der of the Sisters of Charity and Its
first superioress was Elizabeth A.
Seton, a convert to Catholicism. In
1811 her little band located in St Jo
seph's valley, Maryland, and a copy of
the regulations used for the Daugh
ters of Charity, founded by St. "Vin
cent de Paul, was procured from France
for their guidance. At .the time she es
tablished this institution, Mrs. Seton
Was a young WldOW with ehllifren Rh. l

arrangements were alwavs made in
full recognition of the obligations she
bore to them.
The founder of Georgetown convent
in Georgetown, D. C, which was the
first Visitation house in America, was
Miss Alice Lalor, afterward known as
mother Teresa. She was born in Ire
land but came to America in 1774 with
her sister, who had married an Amer
ican merchant On the vessel she be
came acquainted with Mrs. McDermott
and Mrs. Sharpe and the three de
cided that they were called upon to
gainto cloistered life.
When father Neale became presi
dent of Georgetown college he estab
lished these three -women temporarily
with the "Poor Clares," some religious
women driven by persecution from
France, who were vainly trying to es
tablish a school as a means of sup
port. Their rules were so rigorous
and their poverty so extreme that few
scholars applied. At first Alice Lalor
and her friends boarded in this con
vent and taught but soon it was ap
parent that the rule of St Clare re
quiring the women to go barefooted
was so austere as to be unsuited to
the needs of the community, so father
Neaia esM.blisliel them in a house.
rThis was th- begliining-of the Con
nt school of the v-sitatlon in wh'h
so many of the most distinguished
women of the country have been edu
cated during the met -eenturv. There
wis conside-able difficulty about plac
ing the institution under visitation
rules because the founders had not
bten members of a religious order, but
after father Neale became coadjutor
t archbishoD Carroll he rosnlvnl ti
admit the sisters to simple vows. When
he became archbishop himself. In
1S15, he admitted the oldest sisters to
solemn vows, and the establishment of
the institution was complete.

American Delegation Goes
to Investigate European
Financial Systems.
PLAN MORTGAGE .LOAN
BANKS FOR FARMERS
N:
EW YORK. April 26. A further
jolt is to be given the high cost
of living if the delegation of 100
Americans which sailed rrom here for
Naples today succeeds in its endeavor
to devise a separate banking system
for American farmers. The official
name of the delegation Is the Ameri
can commission on agricultural coope
ration. The investigation is to be
made under the auspices of the south
ern commercial congress. Its aim is to
place cheap money at the disposal of
American farmers in order to increase
agricultural production and to lower
the cost of producing food.
Secretary of agriculture Houston 1
represented the administration at the
farewell xriven tn tliA MmMiBoinn
President Wilson takes a keen interest '
in tne unaertaking vand addressed the
delegates personally before they left
Washington.
The commission Is headed bv seven
commissioners bearing the credentials
of president Wilson and secretary of
state Bryan. They will make a report
to congress upon the practicability of
establishing farmers" cooperative
banks and a mortgage bank system in
the United States, copied after the ag
ricultural credit systems of European
countries. Besides the federal com
missioners there are delegates repre
senting about three-fourths of the
states of the Union who will make a
report to a committee of nine govern
ors appointed at the last conference
of the state executives. In this way
official recommendations will be
placed before congress and the state
legislatures urging a consideration of
the credit requirements of the farmers
both as a means of assisting the farm
ers and of relieving the consumers of!
"t; vuuihij ii um lug uumeu ul tne
high cost of living.
Will Aid Currency Reform.
The work of the commission' le
closely connected with the efforts of
the banking and commercial interests
to secure currency reform. The prn
cipal claim of those seeking currency
reform is that under the present bank
ing system which permits banks to re
deposit their funds with other banks
who in turn deposit them in Chicago .or

and with better returns to those en

The American commission on agri
cultural cooperation similarly wants a
sumriementsirv bnnklncr sTstom hnilt- un
which will be controlled by the farm- f
era and which will divert a large nor-
tion of the saving of rural communi
ties to the development of the farms.
It is claimed that in Germany sueh a
system has been able to supply as high
as 98 percent of all the money required
bv the German farmers for their ope
rating expenses from such deposits.
Similar systems are In operation in
nearly, every country of Europe. It
is to study the operation of these sys
tems that the commission is visiting
those countries.
Seeks Mortgage Danklng System.
The second attempt of the commis
sion will be to secure the establish
ment of a mortgage banking system la
the United States. Such a system in
Germany has brought over '2,000.000. -
000 to the German landowners for the
development and Improvement of their
land.
It is declared that if a mortgage
banking system could be established
In the United States billions of dollars,
of additional money could be secured
for the farmers at much lower rates
and on better terms and that with
the great development In American
farms which this money would make
possible, the problem of food produc
tion in the United States, which is
rapidly becoming worse, would be
solved for ever.
The ConunlHSlonem.
The federal commissioners anointed
by the president are senator Duncan
U. Fletcher, lawyer-farmer, and presi
dent of the Southern commercial con
gress; senator Thomas P. Gore, of Ok
lahoma, chairman of the senate com
mittee on agriculture; representative
Moss of Indiana, who was a farmer
before he entered congress and is now
chairman of the house committee on
expenditures in the department of ag
riculture; Col. Harvie Jordan, former
president of the Farmer's union; Ken
yon L. Butterfleld, a member of presi
dent Roosevelt's country life commis
sion and president of Amherst college;
John Lee Coulter, the government's
expert on agricultural statistics and
Dr. Clarence J. Owens, managing direc
tor of the southern commercial con
gress. The state delegates include farmers,
bankers, lawyers and economisls. Vin
cent Astor was appointed a delegate
from New York by governor Sulzer
and the prime minister of Saskatche
wan heads a delegation of Canadians
representing four provinces of the Do
minion. The commission returns from
Burope in August and will then pre
pare its report to congress and the
states.

After the parade if the participants
in the. demonstration are not too

others have pledged themselves to take

ing with green, purple and white flags.
Passing farmers and farm hands will
be halted, forcibly restrained and dec

Why are you not with him!"
"You see Italy is still fighting in Tri

king.
"But suppose you were not required
here," asked the little critic, ''would you

King Victor hesitated and chose his
words with care.
"No, I do not think so," he said
finally.
Prince Humbert shouldered his toy

The Princess and the Acrobats.
Another incident to royalty which has
provoked widespread discussion befell
princess isabelie, duchess oi uenoa, re
cently. A year ago the duchess was passing
on foot through her country place, on
the outskirts of a tiny village, when her
attention was attracted to a party of
strolling acrobats, quite as much by
their poverty as by the cleverness o'f
their tricks. She watched them for some
time, them, made an appointment with
their leader for them all to come to the
castle and perform. This they accepted
eagerly.
They kept the appointment. The
duches was quite at home with them,
listened to their stories, gave them a
good dinner, paid them well and sent
them away with new clothes. Then she
forgot all about them.
Months passed. One day the duchess
was horribly burned as the liquid with
which she was rubbing her arm for rheu

CROSSING OF ONE

TARIS, Jianee, April 26. FrenJi
army poets on tne German irou
" tier have been provided with now-
i erful searchlights that sweep the hea -
ens at irregular intervals throughout tne
night on the lookout for alien dirigibles.
This is the latest development in the
watchfulness with which the French ara
guarding the German line, especially
since the landing of the Zeppelin at
Luneville a week or so ago.
To test the vigilance of the lookout,
French airships cruise unannounced along
the 342-mile border and woe to the luck
less picket who fails to detect their pres
ence. All roads leading near the trontier
are guarded as never before. The way
farer near the German line encounters
frequent patrols who observe sharply
but do not challenge. Among the oir
cers of the French army a favorite topfc
for discussion and concern is the possible
start of 24 hours the German might get
in the case of war. The fate of tae
French nation, they say, might depend
upon the prompt inteihgeace of a sei

Alarm. Quckly Given.
The wires leading from the frontier to
Paris were alive with the alarm when,
the Zeppelin crossed the border and de
scended at Luneville. Intelligence oi fl
eers at the Xancy headquarters received
from watehers along the frontier four
telephone calls telling of the passage of
the aircraft. The posts on all that part:
of the line were astir with alarm and
doubt ;-y. thousand field glasses swept
the haze and fog of the heavens for &
glimpse of the unwelcome visitor.
At Paris, the war ministry was
promptly notified by telephone, lha
French air cavalry, especially the aero
planists at Nancy, scurried to their
hangars and remained there in momen
tary readiness to take wing and recon
noiter the German side for movements
of troops. Since then the French war
ministry has not relaxed its vigilance,
rather, it has been increased.
Bee Sting as a Cue.
A man stung by a bee the other day
has thus discovered an unusual cure for
catarrhal opthalmia, and has brought
his ease to the attention of Dr. Tarnau -ski.
The doctor's natient was suffering
from double catarrhal opthalaiia that
had resisteed all orthodox treatment-.
He was stung by a bee on his left evehd.
When he woke up the next morning, he
found that the lirfit was no loneer nain-

i had ceased. The delighted patient cap-
iuwuKt uve ami ajmi it sung mm
oa the other eye. The next morning it
was eared.
The beanty of the rose has been en
hanced greatly by a new soil treatment
recently discovered in an odd manner.
When .the first excavations were made
for the Paris subway a gardener carted
away a few loads of the clay dumpings.
He tried roses on the soil thus procured,
and to hia amazement they grew finer
than in the highly prised clays. Since
then there has been a great demand from
rose growers for subway soiL The roses
grown on this soil have been dubbed
"subway roses." They haxe extraordi
narily vivid colors and exquisite odor
and are taking all prises at the spring
horticultural shows where they have
been allotted a section to themselves.
Gsby Makes DiscsTery.
M". Goby-, a French scientist has de-
, . - - - , ;. -
viaeu an apparatus lor tne application of
I the X-ray to mkroseopie work which is
expectea to nave a very important bearing-
on the study of the smaller organ
isms. Many of these smau organisms,
because of their eapacity, hare resisted
all attempts to obtain any accurate
knowledge of their functions.
To examine such an object properly
with & microscope it must be suffkaentlv
transparent to permit the passage o'f
light through it; exceedingly fine sec
tions are taken of bodies sufficiently
laree"to permit of this being done, buo
there are many other organizations too
small to cut, and not susceptible of ex
amination by the X-ray for the same
reason. In M. Goby's apparatus the ob
ject to be examined is placed on a pho
tographic plate without the interposi
tion of black paper. Then by a special
process concentrated Xrays are pro
jected on it. A life-size radiograph,
which, oh being enlarged in the ordinary
way, makes a very complete study pos
sible is thus obtained.
Invents Flying Bicycle.
"Aviette" is the name given to & flv
ing machine propelled by the leg-power
of the operator, treading as he would on
a bicycle. It is being tried out at
Meaux, near Paris, by M. Btienne. a mil
itary teiegrapner attached to the third
Hussars. He can rise from the earth.
and fly from 150 to 200 feet. The phys
ical efforts in starting is considerable,
but after the start Etienne does not find
the work harder than running. With
experience and a perfected machine, he
believes, a man could probably flv for
half or three-quarters of an hour with
out exeeeetve fatigue.
