To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
While your zeal for the pubic health is COM
mendable, allow me to submit that perhaps YOU
have not been altogether iar TO the police sur
geons in your criticism OF the late report on that
now famous institution known as the Harlem
flats. The truth is neither you nor the puohc
generally seem TO know the bottom facts. The
idea OF medical inspection originated in the
praln OF Professor Disbecker, as you have well
styled him. lie chose hair a dozen OF the most
'reiiablen surgeons to make the inspection. IN
der the direction Of DR.. Henry they proceeded
to the mats, and in nall an hour performed
the extraordinary feat Of thoroughly ex-
aiming the entire area as covered, uncovered
and TO be covered. They mad microscopes
ana telescopes and coiogne bottles. They
tie worGmen, ascertained the sanitary condition
OF all the shantes and plggeres, iounQ tnat

Swallowing AGENT.

DR.. Gibbs, one of the editors of Hall s
Journal of Health, who is himself an
educated physician and surgeon, while
on railroad train the other day, was
consulted by one Of the employees on the
cars in relation to his little boy, whohad
that morning swallowed cant.
s'What have you done for him % ask
ed the doctor. eve gave him a dose
Of castor OIL was the reply. :'Good
practice so far; as soon as you reach
home give him the whites of three raw
eggs daily, let his diet be bread and
milk and nothing sour" The directions
were followed faithfully, the whites of
the eggs repeated every day and the
dose of oil at night, and on the fourth
day the cent was discharged. 1t was
one of the new copper coins
and considerably corroded by the action
of the gastric juices. Since fatal re-
suits often follow the swallowing of a
copper coin the judicious treatment ad-
vised in this instance should be remem-
bored by all who have the care of chill
dren. The essential points to be borne
in mind are simply these: Albumen,
or the whites of eggs, bland diet free
from acids; and castor oil.

The Balloon Spider.

In lecent address before the Smith
sonian Institute, DIR. Lincecune gives
the following interesting report of the
curious little balloon spider and its
work: 81 once observed one OF those
spiders at work in the upper corner of
An open outside door-shutter. She was
spinning gossamer, of which she was
forming balloon, and clinging to her
thorax was cluster of minute young
spiders. She finished up the body Of
the balloon, and threw out the long
bow-lines, which were Tapping and fut-
tering in the now gently increasing
breeze. Several minutes before she
got ready for the ascension she seemed
TO be fixing the bottom and winding her
hammock-shaped balloon; and nor, the
breeze being suitable, she moved to the
cable ia the stern, severed it, and her
craft bounded upward, and. soaring
northward, was soon beyond the scope
OF observation.

The Wheat Deficiency in Great Britain.


A cable. dispatch gives a summary,
which is only partly Ineligible, Of a
letter On the wheat crop from the well
known authority. Mr.. James Card.
The points of Mr. Cards letter is that
Great Britain must import during the
harvest year, September l, 1875, to
August 81, 1876, SO, 600, 900 of bushels
of wheat. This agrees almost exactly
with the estimate made IN these col
umns few weeks ago, and is but slightly
in excess of the estimate Sc, SOC, 600
given in the lines of August 7. The
years consumption of wheat in the
United Kingdom may be set down at
184. 100000 bushels. The available
yield of the British harvest of 1874 was
about 1O9, SOC, 900 of bushels. The yield
OF this years harvest which will enter
into consumption may apparently be set
down at 1000, 900 of bushels. so that
the country will have to draw nearly
one-half of its annual supply from
abroad. As the diminished yield of
the English harvest is probably fair
index to the reduced proportions of the
crop in other parts of Europe it may be
safely inferred that the United States
will be called upon to supply rather
more than it's last years share of the
English imports. As already estimated
in the Times, our wheat exports to the
United Kingdom for the harvest year
Will probably aggregate $4,000, 900 Of
bushels.
