The Modern Tooth.

Fresh from his recent revelation as to
the inevitable results of higher education
on the woman of the future, Sir James
Crichton Brown, who presided over a
meeting of the British Association, has
felt it is painful duty to call attention to
the lamentable condition of the tooth OF
the present. The picture he draws Is
truly desolating, and it is all the more
so in that it is founded on the relentless
basis of actual investigation. Out of
1 1851 children under twelve recently ex-
amined the proportion of those blcst
with normal or perfect teeth in need of
neither extraction nor filling was only
one in eighteen. Even more alarming are
the dental statistics of Leeds, where the
teeth of 80 per cent of the population arc
bad Furthermore Sir James stated that no
fewer than 1000, 900 of artificial teeth
are used in England annually. OF the
three causes to which Sir James Crichton
Brown attributed the present parlous
condition of the human tooth-soft
food, high pressure and vitiated atmos-
phere-the first Mt least, is by no means
an inevitable condition of latter-day life.
On the other hand the nervous tension
of modern existence and the growth OF
large towns are factors which cannot be
eliminated from the great dental prob
| lem, and are bound to exert an increas-
ingly destructive influence on the type
of the coming man. We are rapidly
tending toward an era of total badness,
and this, it seems, is to be further aggra-
waited by toothlessness. There is an
ancient Greek legend of the daughters
of Phorcys, who had only one eye and
one tooth among them. This, we take
it, must have been prophetic view OF
the results of culture and civilization or
the woman of the future London
Globe.

A Snake I'm Church.

The services at Grace Methodist Church
wee rather unpleasantly interrupted last
Sunday evening by the appearance of a
snake in one of the aisles. The reptile,
the species of which cannot be agreed
upon by members of the congregation,
was about two feet long, and as it crawled
along the passage with wicked look in
its ewes made things mighty uncomfort-
able for those in the immediate vicinity.
One or two ladies were especially loud in
their EXPLANATIONS, and would probably
be still standing in the pew in their at
tempts to get as far as possible from his
snakeship had not courageous young
man picked up the serpent and carried It
out. The ladies then regained their
seats, also their breath, and the pro-
gramme continued. The reptile was

The Kearsarge. which was ordered to
Honduras on account OF the revolution
there. has had her orders changed. The
War Department has been advised that the
troubles are over for the present in that

to require her presence there. She has been
ordered instead TO proceed from Port-au-
Prince to San Domingo and thence to
La Guayra. Venezuela So far as the
Navy Department Is advised she is to mako
this trip for the purpose of conveying Min
lister Durham on his usual semi occasional

rumored, however, that the present move
ment OF Minister Durham to San Domingo
is more than OF usual Importance 1t is
said that he is going there to close negotia-
tions for the purchase OF SANTANA Bay as n
coaling station. The President, It will be
remem bered, has at his disposal s25. 900 for
procuring coaling stations, and IL is thought
not unlikely that part of this sum may
be expended on SANTANA Bay and the re-
mainder on Pearl Harbor. Hawaii

Big Oysters are Sick.

The enormous oyster shells displayed
in front of a popular restaurant are an
abnormal growth. In the Indian Ocean
the shells sometimes reach an extraordin-
arv size, but the remarkable thickness is
caused by a disease, which, to the oyster,
is something like elephantiasis to the
man. The disease Is common enough
among oysters, but it is rare that so ex-
arrerated a case is seen as in the huge
shells already mentioned.-lNew. York
