LANGUAGE FOR MEDICINE,
An italian Suggests That Latin BE Used
In All Countries.

IN All Countries
Decidedly the question of a univer-
sal language Of medicine is in the air.
During the last few months we have
had occasion to refer to several pro,
posals of the kind. Now comes another,
this time from Italy.
DR.. E. Vital Of Bari has addressed a
'0ng letter to the Italian minister of
public instruction, DIR. Baccelli, invit-
ing him as president Of the interna-
tional medical congress to propose to
the organizing committee that Latin be
recognized as one of the official lam
guages at the next (Moscow) congress
and as the sole official language at all
future congresses, beginning with the
fourth from the one held this year in
Rome.
DR.. Vitali's argument is, briefly, that
while all medical men have some smat-
tering of Latin comparatively few know
any modern language but their own.
Very few understand all the languages
used at congresses, which hence serve
to give an idea Of the tower of Babel
as far as confusion Of tongues is con-

spoken, it will always, DR.. Vital main
tains, be more Ineligible than any one
modern language to the largest number,
and that, after all, is the main point.
For any one really in earnest in the
matter there need be no difficulty in
acquiring sufficient fuency in Latin for
the purpose in view.
DR.. Baccelli has sent a diplomatic re-
ply to DR.. Nitali's communication, in
which he promises to give the subject
proper consideration, etc. There, so far
as WI know, the matter rests, and there,
we imagine, it is likely to rest. There
would unq%uestionably be many advan-
tages in the revival of Latin as the lin
gua franco of science, nor does the
scheme involve any insuperable Difficult.
ties.
In an interesting article in The Tenn
pie Bar it is stated that the celebrated
DR.. Bozzi Granville. when he wished
to enter the English navy, had some
difficulty about his examination at Has
lar, as none of the medical staff spoke
any European language but his own.
AT the suggestion of the surgeon of the
Raven, whose communications with his
assistant had been carried on in Latin,
that language was employed. The Ital-
ian doctor passed triumphantly. Brit

A LIGHT.
1t will Give illumination Equal to About
$4,000, 900 Candle Power.

The idea Of an electric light which,
fell by a current from a dynamo actual.
ed by a 40 horsepower engine and Civ.
ing 1000 candle power, can have its il.
Illuminating power intensified 80, 900
times is nOt easy to grasp. 1t means the
projection of a stream of light of about
$50, 600, 900 candle power, and it is no
wonder hat the announcement that
such a light is about to be used in this
country has been received with some
incredulity in Europe. Yet this is the
efficiency Of the light which will be
shortly erected at Fire island for the
illumination Of the adjacent coast and
the protection of the fleet Of ships en-
tering New York harbor.
A remote suggestion of the power Of
this lamp may be arrived at by bearing
in mind that an ordinary oil lamp is
about 80 or 40 candle power and then
trying to imagine the combined beam
of 3, 900, 900 lamps. The ordinary cleo
trio street light may be put down at 100
candle power, and $50, 900 of these
would represent the strength of the Fire
island light.
The most powerful oil lamp yet made
is supposed to shine out on a clear night
for a distance of 35 or 40 miles, but the
new light will flash its welcome rays
to the incoming European liners when
they are 1870 miles away. The light re-
wolves rapidly and throws out its beams
with the intensity Of speed of lightning.
The motive power which actuates it is
a simple clockwork arrangement con-
tanned in a box 2 feet square, and
although the revolving portion of the
light weighs IS tons the mechanism
controlling it is so delicate that the
pressure of two fingers will turn it. The
value of this marvellous lamp can only
be determined by practical working,
but it promises to represent an immense
stride in the science of coast lighthouse
illumination. philadelphia Press.

AN INCOME TAX CONUNDRUM.
A knotty Question Under Discussion by
the Treasury Department Officials.

A knotty Question Under Discussion by
the Treasury Department Officials.
A very knotty question has arisen in
the preparation of the income tax regu-
lations now under consideration by Sec
rotary Carlisle and Commissioner Mil
Ter. 1t is at what point in the salary of
United States official the income tax
should be collected. Government dis.
bursting officers are held responsible for
the collection of the income tax on sal
aries paid out by them. Does the law
contemplate taxing the salary per SO or
the person who receives it?
Only salaries above 81, 900 are taxa
BILE. A case has been put where if the
salary is, say, SO, 600 per year, and the
drawer of it dies after six months, the
government receives no income from it
unless the disbursing officer takes out
the tax pro rata monthly. At this point
the difficulty is encountered that the
drawer of the salary has not received
over 81, 900, and therefore no income
tax has accrued. If the drawer of an
IS, 600 salary dies or resigns after re-
ceiving slightly less than half of the
yearly salary, should the new appointee
pay an income tax out of his little more
than half Of the IS, 900 or only on what
he himself draws?
1t does not seem to strike the treasury
officials as fair that one man should pay
an income tax on part Of he salary
drawn by another. and yet if such an
amount were drawn SD. 900 by me and

latter responsible for the income tax on
the salary he draws on the excess over
the 81, 900 the government would re-
ceive only 2 per cent on 500. Was this
idea contemplated by the law? The same
principle applies to all cases of salaries
received by United States officials, mem.
beers of the cabinet, senators and mem
bers Of congress and others who receive
a salary in excess of "a, 0u0. Washing

A. Horse Endemic.

A fatal disease has appeared among
some of the horses in the west. Veteri-
nary Surgeon Gresswell diagnoses the
trouble as a sort of infectious influenza
which causes the limbs to swell, and tn
animals become weak and soon die from
apparent exhaustion. The surgeon has
sent these directions to owners of aff1ict-
ed animals: The best course to pursue
is to lay off the affected animal when
he shows the slightest symptoms Of dis
ease, such as bad coat, stiffness or SWELL
ing and any difficulty in swallowing
water. House him in a we'll ventilated
sheltered barn where he can have abso-
Lutte rest. Keep him warm at night with
a blanket and ~bandage the legs with

THE CAPTAIN is CONTENT.
All That Worries Him Now Is Where to
Find Another Cook.

A pretty boat is the Minnie Wash

raging canal she is a thing Of beauty
and naturally a joy forever. And a
pretty cook had the Minnie. She was
chambermaid and wife to the skipper
bold as we'll as cook. Jennie was her
name, Jennie Ash. and her husband is
Captain Robert Ash. And a handsome
steersman had the Minnie. He was
James Finn, a ''high flier, too, among
%canalers.
But the Minnie has a new cook and a
new steersman now. The old ones de-
serted her. The captain shipped Finn
in Buffalo to steer the wheat laden
Minnie to New York. Quartermaster
Finn was fond of female society, and
the dark eyed wife Of the captain at

''She seemed perticlar fond O him."

When the Minnie reached West Troy
Saturday afternoon, the captain went
ashore to transact some business. When
he returned a couple of hours later, his
consort was gone. So was his steers
