The seventh international geological con- gress, which convenes in St. Petersburg tomorrow, will in many ways be the most marked scientific congress that has ever been called together. Not so much, per- haps, by reason of the large number of eminent men who are likely to partake in its deliberations, as through the far-reach- ing liberality of the Russian government. Not before in the history of associations of this kind has a like spirit governed their. formation and execu:iun, and it is safe to predict that many years will elapse iie- fore there will be a return to it. Although not generally so known, Russia has for many years taken an advanced position in the development of the natural and physi- eal sciences, and many of her men stand second to none as original investigators in the departments of astronomy, physics, physiology, zoolegy and embryology. ‘The scientific bureau of the world which has the most extended scope is that of the geological survey of n erapire, a field of labor w! covers not lone 000,000 square miles of continental urop?, but the 5,090.09 ar more that are by th sessions in Asia. it is that a territorial survey carries its work over a region twice as large as that which is controlled by the United States geological survey, and it is in con- formity with this broad line of investiga- tion that the lines of the congress have themselves been organized. Passes Over Reuasia, All delegates to the convention have heen accorded by the Russian government a free pass on the railroads of the empire for a period of three months starting from the frontier and returning to any point of ita concession which has reaped its re- ward in the unprecedentedly large attend- ance which has been assured the congre But of far greater significance to the in- terests of geology, and to the proper un- derstanding of the more important preb- lems that are associated with the geology of the Russian empire, and which have a more than general value fer geologists the world over, are the extended excursions which have been organi: under the aus- Pices of the bureau of direction, aided by the efforts of the department of the in- terior. One of these covers the north of Russia and Finland, a second traverses the Ural mountains into the plains of Siberia, and a third takes the route of the Volga to the Caspian, the traverse of the Cau- casus into Trans-Caucasia and the pas- sage of the Black ‘a to the Crimea. The extent and importance of these excursions may be estimated from the magnitude of the official guide book which has been pre- pared for their illustration, a work col- laborated in thirty-four parts and contain- ing nearly 700 pages, ides a wealth of maps and illustrations The guide book is, in fact, a manual of the geology of a Targe part of the Russian empire, and is one of the most thorough and explicit works of the kind that have ever been published for any country. Toptes to Be Discussed. The topics of special gmportance that are to be discussed at the congress are these pertaining to unification of the science of geslogy—the effort to introduce for the world at large a system of com- mon classification and terminology, which if successfully reached, will be a service rendered for which every good geologis whether taken from the ranks of the fessional or from the laymen, ought to be thankful. Furthermore, the effort will be made to halt the modern tendency to in- erease the vocabulary of the science adding new names to almost every phase ef nature that appears in a given region— which, if unchecked, would ftate the free use of a lexicon, even by the professional geologist, for the prop- er understanding of almost every geologi- cal memvir. This blow to word-making or word-coining might be advantageously followed up in the construction of the lan- guages of the related sciences, and it to be hoped that at some not distant con- gress of zoologists and botanists, this topic, so important in its bewildering effect upon the student, will be taken up in the spirit and direction which are a part of the pro- gram of the international congress of geol- ogists. -—__>. A VETERAN'S EXONERATIO) After Four Years Dr. Alderman is to Pension Office Roll, Alderman of Langdon was position in the Restor De A. Saturday H. reinstated to a pension office, from which he was ousted nearly four years ago. Back of his re- oval, and connected with his restoration to a position which he gained, after many years of faithful service to the govern- ment, lies a story, which may have a sequel Jderman is a veteran of the late war, and could have been put back in the sion office under the “old soldier” clause of the civil service regulations, but his re- instatement was due to the fact that, after a most thorough investigation of charges filed against him by some of his fellow clerks in the bureau four years ago, he was exonerated and the charges were pro- nounced to be without foundation. Dr. Alderman hile yet a mere boy, er listed, August 12, 1861, in Company B of the 6th” Reg {, Ohio Volunteer In- fantry, of which George Crook, who afte: ward r general in the regu- ar arm # famous Indian fighter, was the colonel. ‘Two years after his en- listment Dr. Alderman at his own request, tra mpany G of the seme regimen eas a pri- vate until he was mustered out, precisely four years from the date of bis enlistment. Ir. Alderman took part in the memorable campaign which resulied incidentally in giving imperishable renown to Gen. Sheri- dan. ‘The day cf the battle of Fisher's Hill, re- garding which T. Buchanan Read com- ed the famous poem, “Sheridan's Ride,” Alderman was a member of the body guard of Gen. Crook, and bad been sent to order up the stragglers, who were ba needed at the front, and who were the only too numerous en the Winchester pike. While engaged in this duty he met Gen Sheridan about half a mile in advance o his own body guards, and together the two at ence proceeded to Gen. Crook's head- quarters, then on the extreme left of the line of battle. Gens. Sheridan and Crook cenferred, and later the former dispatched his aids-de-camp with orders to the several ecmmands to “advance,” and the rout of arly foliowed. After the war Alderman took up the Study of medicine. July, 1882, he was appointed to a clerkship in the patent of- fice, and in a short time was transferred to the pension office, where, during the en- suing eleven years, he was frequently pro- moted until he reached the grade of ex- amlner. October 14, 1893, he was amazed to receive a letter from the acting commis- sioner of pensions, netifying him that his services Would not be required after the following day. . ° Despite the most earnest efforts on his part, Dr. Alderman was for a long time unable to ascertain the cause of his sum- mary dismissal from office. Finally, how- ever, he learned that four of the bureau clerks, one of whom was a woman, had submitted sworn statements to the commis- sioner of pensions, in whfth Dr. Alderman was charged with grossly ufiprofessional keen sensibility of their finger tips enables ! them in handling a note to distinguish the difference, however slight, between the ferged and the real article. The means adopted for bringing to light the falsified numbers on debentures are rather more élaborate and consist mainly in the distinc- tion of the difference in the symmetry of the figures and of the ink used, magnify- ing glasses being used for the former and chemical preparations for the latter.

Will give you $10,000 apiece additional if you will make the duel last for at least ten rounds.” ei conduct while attending a lady durin; attack of illness. ‘ Seeds For month after month and year after year Dr. Alderman pleaded in vain for a copy of the charges and for an opportunity to meet his accusers and disprove their ai- legations. It was not until some of the leading citizens of Langdon interested themselves in his cause and petitioned the commissioner to investigate the case that that official would take any active steps In the matter. Meanwhile the health board refused to issue a license to him, giving as a reason that there were charges pending against him, and it was not until the court to which Dr. Alderman carried the matter had is- sued a mandamus commanging the health officer to givé*the former a license that his name was entered on the registry of the | physicians of the District authorized to Practice. After the receipt of the requests from the. people of Langdén for the reopening of the case a special examiner was detailed to take testimony in the matter. That officer visited Langdon sand heard agreat deal of testimony as to the character of Dr. Alder: man, of his accusers, and also in regard to ‘the opinion of the physician held among those who have knownthim best for mony years past. Within a very few days after the examiner submitted his report to his superior officer Dr. Alderman was inform- ed that he id deen exonerated from the charges on file againstchim, but his rein- statement did not take place, as above stat- ed, until Saturday last. z It is understood to bé probable that fur- ther investigatiom will be made in reference to the conduct of the parties who filed the disproved charges against Dr. Alderman, with a view to agcertaining the motive for making them. “® ——— NOT SO GREEN. She Knew a Thing or Two About the Game Herself. From the Detrott Free Press. ~ The other day a Detroit youth who had ‘come home from college for vacation took his younger sister out to see a base ball game. She is a quiet, demure little with blue eyes and a timid manner, snd she slipped into her seat in the grand stand as staidly as if she were entering the family pew at chure! As the game progressed he kind! took to explain to her something a bout the points so she would understand at least a littie about it. “Now the young man is about to throw the ball,” he said. “He is ~alled the pitch- er. The man with the stick In his band is the batter. He will try to hit the ball, and if he does he will run to that little bag, which is called a base.” The young man’s sister seemed to be quite interested, and listened attentively to his explanations. Presentiy somebod hit eut a two-bag- ger that went clear thron, the shortstop, and lit out for first like a wit turkey. Tke young man began to’ explain. “Now.” he said, “if the fielder throws to the man on. the bag before The young man ceased suddenly.

All at once everything was light. I don’t think I saw the flash. Anyway, my face was not exactly toward the explosion.
