The Philadelphia Utrnrtl nya tho first true medical discovery made by means of the new lloi-iityi-n rays is now chronicled In tlio report fm.n IWHn that the light hits revealed the notion of the heart, In cases of asthma.

This revelation may lend to some now u'.lcvialive remedy for this distressing disease. Tho Rov. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.

Touts to California. California has been moBt fittingly termed the "Italy of America." All the delicious halm, tho cloudless sky, and rich verdure of the groat European peninsula are duplicated In this sunny land of tho Pacific. Hero nature basks in tho sunshine of her own beauty; and ere she haH established her own sani tarium, where eternal spring inspires everlasting youth. With the snow- mnntled peaks of the Sierras upon the ono hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes upon tho other, and a veritable paradise of flowers, fruit nnd plants twecn, man can find and needs no ivellor land. To visit such a country s a privilege, a blessing. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, recognizing the need of a more comfort able and plensaut way of crossing tho ntinciit, Inaugurated a series of annual tours to California, running a through train of Pullman palaco cars om New York to the Pacific Coast, and stopping nt tlie principal points of nterest en route. Tho great popularity f these tours demonstrates the wisdom f the movement. For tho season of 1W three tours ave been arranged to leave Now York, hilndelpliia, nnd Plltshurg, January i, February 21, and March 2". Tho first tour will run direct to San Diego via St. Louis and Santa Fe route, and return from Snn Frincisco via Salt ,nko City, Denver, and Chicago, allow ing five weeks In California. The second tour will run via the Mammoth Cave and Now Orleans to Snn Diego, stopping at the "Crescent City" during tlio Mardi Gras Carnival. This tour will return via Salt Lake Ity, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago, llowing four weeks in California.

Frank N. Moore, tho agent of the State Agricultural Department, fore casts some of tho laws that will bo urged upon tho next legislature. Ho says that the farmers will insist upon the State appropriating about $2,1)00,000 or the improvement of the highways. They will also favor a road tax to be paid Into the oounty treasury. Another part of the scheme is to make the bicycle riders help poy for tho im proving of the roads. "The bicycle riders," said Mr. Moore, "are very numerous in all parts of the State They are continually complaining about the country roads, and the farmers have decided to make smoother high ways for these gentlemen. We believe the bicycle riders will not object to an annual tax of (2 apiece. This, with the regular county tax and tho (2,000, XK) appropriation by the State will go . a long way toward bettering the roads. The work could bo done under the dl rection of a Btato engineer, Each coun ty has its.surveyor and they could work under the State official. This would make It possible to do tho work cheap ly. The farmers are In favor of taking the money to be appropriated on roads away -from the Normal schools, the University of Pennsylvania and the other big Institutions that do not need Bute aid. .Normal schools will get very little, out of the next text legisla ture, and there are other planes that are drawing largely from the' State treasury that will be shut off this year Reduced Rates to Washington.
