" A Thing to Keep Clear of.
From Halls journal of Health.

Pneumonia usually begins with a
chill, intense and prolonged, generally
at night, and followed by correspond
ingly high fever and sharp pains in the
sides. The disease is very rapid in it's
progress, reaching crisis in from five
to six days and sometimes causing
death within three days. Usually
but one lung is affected and often the
disease is confined to a single lobe
A person may have double pneu~
monia," Or pneumonia OF both lungs,
and recover from it, but the chances
are against him. When the disease
spreads to all OF the lung lobes death
is certain, as the patient can not
breathe and dies of suffocation. The
diseased lung, at first infamed, soon
becomes hard and leathery and inca
pable of performing it's natural func-
tons. A curious fact is that usually
no second chill occurs when another
lobe is attacked, and there appears
to be no relation between the amount
OF lung affect ed and the intensity of
the symptoms. All physicians agree
in saying that the disease is not con-
tagious, but may be epidemic, and it
has been noticed that it is developed
under the same conditions as diph-
theri;s: that is, the conditions which
produce diphtheria in the young are
apt to cause pneumonia among
adults
Without specializing upon these
different theories, from what has been
said in which all agree, it is plain that
anything which lowers the vitality OF
the system is conducive to the disease
and should be carefully avoided.
Overwork, either physical or mental,
has much to do with it, and this ex-
plains why SO many business men and
brain-workers become it's victims.
Sudden changes of the weather and
draughts of all kinds are also to be
guarded against. In a word, live
temperately, dress warmly, avoiding
all manner Of inlprudences, and you
need have no fear of pneumonia.

Taxation on the Line of Least
Resistance.


All parties would be happy If the
public treasury could be filled by the
touch OF a magician's wand, so that
taxes might be abolished. But, as
they are a necessary evil, a scheme Of
taxation without lamentation is what
is wanted. In the law laid down by
Professor William G. Sumner, that
taxation tends to diffuse itself, but on
the line of least resistance, is found O.
hint for the basis of this scheme.
Turgot, the great French fnancier, ex-
pressed the politicians idea very
tersely when he said that the science
OF taxation is to pluck thegoose with
out making it cry. In hunting for the
line OF least resistance, and the most
scientific methods of pluclsing, sew
eral interesting experiments have
been made of late in different
States, where new sources OF reve.
nue. have been sought from special
taxes OH corporations, railroads, tele-
graph, telephone, and insurance COM
panies, collateral inheritances, and
other classes OF property which can be
plucked without producing cry liable
to strike a chord OF sympathy in the
popular heart. In most instances
these experiments have surpassed in
their results the expectations of the
proposers. Large revenue has been
obtained without provoking even a
,nurmur of disapproval from the
voting classes. In Vermont, for ex-
ample, no direct tax was levied in
1888 and 1884. the receipts under the
corporation tax law paying the ex-
penses OF the State government. The
Comptroller OF New York received
SO, $50, 1915 in 1884, of which ST.
6O3, 612.75 were paid by corpora
tions. Last year, although the Wis
cOnsin Legislature authorized q levy OF
$24O, OOO,the state treasurer was not
obliged to collect any direct tax, as
the license tax from railroads, insur-
ance, telegraph and telephone compa-
MES was sufficient to meet the current
expenses. The treasurer of Minnesota
states that ''therevenue from the cor
poration tax is steadily increasing,
and if it should continue to increase,
and the probabilities are that it will,
as it has done for the last four years,
it bids fair to pay all the expenses of
the state government" In New Jer-
sey there is no regular tax, except for
schools, as the new railroad and canal
tax law and the tax on miscellaneous
corporations maintain the govern

New York All EOzoic State.

From the New York Tribune.
The fourth lecture in the course Of
science matinees was delivered a few
days ago in the ball room of the hotel
Brunswick by Prof H. L. Fairchild.
The subject of the lecture was "The
life OF millions of years ago" Prof
Fairchild first gave short account of
the principles OF geological forces-the
action OF running water and the waves
OF the ocean, the alienation of heat
and cold, the shrinkage OF cooling
masses, whose slow and regular work
ing from age to age make up the his
tory OF the globe. "The old theory
OF cataclysms," said the lecturer, "has
been abandoned and modern biologists
put in its p ace the theory of CONT
nuity, which seeks to account for the
changes which have taken place in the
earths's crust through the potency of
the ordinary forces which we still see
in action around us. These forces are
still at work and geological changes
are still going on.
ave think of the dry land" said
Prof. Fairchild, "as the true plan of
| stability, but as a matter of fact it is
the ocean which forever maintain it's
place and the land which is continual
~ oscillating. Manhatten island, for
instance, is gradually sinking, and if
we live long enough we will probably
| find the sea covering the place where
we now are. Still wehavetimeenough
before us to finish the lecture lie
next enumerated the various geologi-
cal ages as they are now classified and
briefly described the forces of animal
and plant life characteristic of each.
''New York state as a WHOLE said
he, "belongs to one of the old ages
the eozoic. The Adirondack mount
| aims date back to the dawn OF the
globes history. If some spectators
and miners had known this and had
been familiar with some Of the elemen-
tary principles Of geology, they would
have saved many thousands of dol
lars. Often and often it has been
supposed that coal has been found in
New York, but always the expectation
has proved groundless. All biologists
know that the Devonian rocks which
make up most OF the state never con.
tam any coal, and We need never .ex-
pect to find any in New York. The
latter part of,thes lecture was occupi-
ed by the explanation of stereoscopic
Illustrations Of various fossils.
