The Unique Room of Weird and Fantastic
Wonders in the Flower Hospital.
In the Flower Homeopathic Hos-
pital and Medical College, Sixty-third
street and the Eastern boulevard, New
York, the demonstrator's or "bone
looni, as it is called by the students,
has been recently fitted up as a prac-
tical optical object lesson in compar-
ative anatomy, and incidentally it has
become, with its fantastic decorations
of hundreds of dead men's bones,
probably the most weird and gruesome
apartment in the world.
It is, however, emphatically stated
by the college authorities that the
side lie the frail, light scapula and
the strong, heavy femur; near each end
of the table a grinning skull is held
aloft upon a tripod of tibias. Wher-
ever there is available space the walls
are hung with diagrams of various por-
tions of the body representing the cir-
culatory and nervous system, and tho
muscles and organs. Over one door

OLDEST MASON IN THE WORLD.
Surrounded by three generations of
children, Mr. Adna Adams Treat on
April 8 celebrated his one hundred and
second birthday anniversary. Besides
Hie distinction of being the patriarch
of Denver, Col., lie is conceded to be
the oldest living Master Mason In the
I nited States, anil probably in the
world. Old as he is. his mind Is clear
a conversation the other day Mr.
Flater was induced to reveal how he
apartment is not intended to serve j happened to devise th°s strange'"part'
as a mere curiosity and a place of ' ment and to give a descriptionof t
gruesome wonder to the laity, but as "Our bone room ' he'a™ lain

the feeling of dread

overcome, is un-

quite enough to ex-
cite the interest

In a chair to the right sits a skel-

arm upon the table, as he watches the
skeletons over which the sunlight
dances. The name of the room is
of finger bones. Upon the wall with-
in appear, in the same gruesome letter-
ing, the names of Dr. Neilson and Dr.
Northway Meyer, demonstrators. Be-
side these legends sits a grinning
human skull.
i'or a long while the bones havq
been lying around the college, manM
packed away in boxes and of little usq
to any one.
One day not long ago I conceived
the idea that if properly arranged and
displayed they might be turned to
great piactical benefit. Accordingly I
consulted the college authorities on the
I<.. , , i subject, outlining my plan to them fnr
'\a _tab,P the adornment of the bone room,'and
be found grouped about in artistic con
fusion. Festoons of phalanges, ribs
and vertebrae cross the room in every
direction. On the walls, placed here
and there, may be seen a sacrum, an
innominate bone, a femur and a tibia.

Haarlem, which lie between, and

gallery, but is a place of much histor-
ical Interest, fall to get well acquainted
with Holland or with the Dutch peo-
ple. They see how a Dutch town is
built, surrounded and intersected by
canals or branches of a river, planted
with long lines of trees, provided with
a towii hall and several churches, us-
ually of brick with carved stone fac-
ings; the more ancient and romantic
t'Othle edifices being few—in the seats
of former Catholic bishoprics and in
the Sticht," or diocese of Utrecht, In
North Brabant, and other Inland
provinces. This country is far less
rich than Belgium and Flanders are In
architectural monuments of high artis-
tic or antiquarian interest. The Dutch
school of painters, indeed, is all that
Holland can show of its own that
claims great renown In the way of line
art. Elegance or crace of design or
stj le is not a Dutch characteristic and
the mere dilettante taste, after looking
at the notable collections at the Mur-
itshuis, the Rijksmuseum and one or
two others, with merited approval, can
find little else for that sort of gratifi-
cation.
Nor does the modern sentimeiftal or
aesthetic delight in rare, wild and
mighty aspects of natural scenery ob-
tain anywhere in the northern Nether-
lands that recompense for a very easy
Journey which one gets In many parts
Of England, Scotland and Wales. The
atmosphere and light are finer than
ours, especially favorable to views or
the sea; but Dutch coasts are mere
rolling sand; there are no rocks or
cliffs or wild forests of torrents or
mountains in the whole country,

gained during bouo twenty years of
experimental work carried out by the |
Diege-Limburg railway, Belgium, on
which various l.inda of metal ties have j
ibeen tested on different sections of the j
road. For comparison, a part of the
road was laid with oak sleepers, and
identical conditions assured as to na-
ture of roadbed, drainage, weight of
rail, care in maintenance, etc. The
metal ties varied in shape and quality
from the crude forms of the earliesi
ties to the more scientifically designed
later article. It was found that'the
average life of the oak ties was thir-
teen years, while the average life of
the earliest and crudest metal ties was
eighteen years. The latter ties have
their width decreased and their verti-
cal (langes deepened at the center, thus
providing a minimum bearing surface
immediately beneath the rails, and in-
ci"( ased girder depth wl the center.
An International Hird Question.
In addition to the destruction
wrought by pugnacious sparrows at
home, English swallows and martins
suffer severely during their migrations
from bird-hunters in italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year and the Society for the Protection
of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments of France and Italy
on the ground that the killing of the
English birds while crossing their ter-
ritories is leading to a serious Increase
of insect pests in Engiand. England
has never been backward in protect-
ing her citizens abroad, and perhaps
her aegis will be found to cover those
that wear feathers as well as those |
who dress In clothes.
The latest masculine wrinkle which
giiis affect is masculine gloves, not
gloves made in a mannish style and
fitting the feminine hand, but gloves
that are cut on masculine lines, de-
signed for masculine wearing, and but-
toned with the ningle button that holds
together the abbreviated kid wrist. The
gloves are short and square and made
of heavy dogskin and stitched marked-
ly in white. The fingers are big and
clumsy, and the.entire glove is almost
twice the size which the girl ordina-
rily affects. The bigger the glove the
more stylish the result. The mascu-
line glove is entirely in keeping with
the stubby, ugly masculine shoe.

A FISHER CHILD OF HOLLAND,
most Interesting nation, probably more
closely akin and congenial to the Eng-
lish than any other in Europe, that
Holland seems most attractive to us.
Its social life, domestic habits and
manners, political and religious views,
past associations with our ancestors
in great struggles for liberty and in al-
most every department of intellectual
and industrial activity, bind that na-
tion and ours together with links of
sympathy more intimate than we can
Jwn toward France, Germany or Italy,
though we owe much to early French
or Norman civilization.
I have not met with any book in
which such information is presented
to English readers more accurately, or
with greater judgment, care and can-
dor, in a fair and friendly spirit, but
not running into sanguine enthusiasm.
V\ ithout dwelling upon his clear de-
scription of the unique phvsical
geography of Holland and Zealand,
with their labyrinth of river outlets
ind sea inlets, so often delineated by
other writers, it is enough to say that
his chapter on "The Fight With the
waters ' alone deserves an attentive
reading, as a good account o' the vast
j and costly work yearly performed by
Ihe government, seconded by local au-
thorities, to defend tho land and its
I towns from Inundation. 'I"ie great
| draining operations which have been
; successfully executed at the Haarlem
| lake and in the Y district and in the
i Heemster and Purmer levels, as well
[ as the projected reclamation of a large
part of the area of the Zuyder Zee, are
sufficiently explained. Agriculture
pastoral and dairy business, fisheries
and trades, the government and laws,
churches and schools and everything
of practical importance, find due place
in this book.
It Is needless to add that the virtues
and accomplishments of the Dutch
ladles, to which even I beg permission
to testify, are not overlooked; they are
indeed, just as good and amiable as
Englishwomen, and they are taught ln
their schools to speak English well
tod to read our English books. pM.

Ixmdon contains many societies,from
the Christmas Goose Club to that for
the Worshippers of Omar the Tentmak-
er, but apparently there is another
which has hitherto escaped notice, saya
the London Telegraph. It is called the
"l.azy Society," and, no doubt, in the
metropolis there are many people who
are eligible for membership. Idle per-
sons, however, had better not enroll
themselves rashly, or they may find
that the rules demand too much de-
termination of character. Absolute
laziness Is a task In itself, and re-
quires a good deal of living up to, be-
sides Involving one in unpleasant sit-
uations. Mr. Reason is one of the
members of this curious community,
and so earnest Is he that he informed
Mr. Marsham at Westminster that nc
punishment would induce him to break
stones or pick oakum. He w;s charged
by the master of the workhouse with
refusing to do any work, and he even
carried his principles so far as to de-
cline to wash or undress himself. He
had been punished in every possible
way (ominous phrase), but all to nc
account. He remained, in spite of all
temptation, an obstinate member of the
"Lazy Society." The jailer asked the
defendant to give some explanation and
he answered, with great deliberation
that work was too hard and against his
principles. The magistrate decided In
must suffer for his convictions,and sen-
tenced him to twenty-one days' hard
labor. The martyr left the dock verj

In the Dutch army, says Stray Sto
ries, a man must be able to swim a
well as to fight. Moreover, If he h
in the cavalry he must have a horse
which will take a river as easily as a
hunter takes a fence. Swimming man-
Olivers are part of the regular drill
there. Collapsible canvas boats,
manned by a few oarsmen, lead the
horses so that they do not attempt to
land on stone quays and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do
it ln swimming costume and in all the
accoutrements of war. There are few
nautical emergencies for which the
Dutch army Is not prepared. Some of
the Officers have reached Buch a de-
gree Of proficiency that not only their
horses and kit cross with them
but their pet dogs sit upon their ghoul*
ders, and are borne over almost with-
out getting wet.
