now demands its victims every year and
counts them by the hundred. The malaria
generated by the condition of the Eastern
Branch is not directly fatal, but it saps
the vital forces Of those upon whom it
fastens and renders them more easily sus-
ceptible to the inroadS of more virulent dis

What makes the matter infinitely worse
is that several thousand individuals exposed

GN the register of the Metropolitan
~ Hotel appears the name of f. Bolton,
Chacton-on-sea. Essex, England.
Mt. Bolton IS well-known bouiface in
his own country, and was for many years
the steward for nine hotels owned by the
Great Eastern Railroad Company.
Mr. Bolton started off by saving tn 1T
after all the things which most interest
4 man are those connected with his own
occupation. ST his Observations had nat
urally been directed to the methods of con
ductisG hotels in this country.
lie found II 9 SaiI i'll this country manyirn-
provcmen;s on the English plan of hotel

| would DO well to copy.
The feature which pleased him most in
American hostelricS was the fact that each
one has 4 large. welLlightcd lobby. which
| is used rs a lounGing room by the guests
In the hotels on the other side the lobby
exists, bat il is small, dingy concern,
which offers no Inducements for 4 man to
linger there.
The American lobby on the other hand has
such Il CHEEKY. home-like appearance that
it is temptation to leave Onc'S Room and
pass the time down there instead.
Another Improvement Of the American
hotels is the separation OF cafe, dining
room and bar, which in many English
hotels are n one and the same room.
EngiiS. hotel men, however, Mr.. Bolton
went on to say, are rapidly finding that the
public. particularly that part OF il which
is made up Of American tourists, demand
better accommodations in these respects
and therefore are rapidly Amcricanizing.
so to speak.
Another improvement which has been
wrought in the British public service by
American influence is the recent intro-
duction of dinins-caTs on the railroads of
England. While the short distances Of
England do net create such Il demand for
this feature of railroad service neyerthe-
less the few roads which have introduced
the dinins-cars have found that they Sc
cure quite an extensive patronage.

The history of the Stevens school buid-

the result has beeG one delay after anuiner
