tions are being made for their reception
and entertainment. The Toronto city
council and the Ontario government
have made generous appropriations, and
these are to be swelled by at least $780,
900 from the Dominion government. 1t
is expected that nearly 500 members,
with their wives, will come from Eng
land, and Toronto means to extend a
royal greeting to them.
The association was founded more
than 60 years ago in York, England. It
aims to promote the friendly acquaint-
ance Of scientific men, the interchange
Of scientific ideas and the solidarity of
the great body of scientific workers
Each summer the annual meeting is
held in new place. 1t lasts o week,
and English towns consider it q great
privilege and honor to entertain the
scholarly men.
Sir Joseph Lister, tho president Of
this distinguished body, is a man who

tific knowledge. To him the world is
indebted for the discovery Of the anti,
septic method Of battling against bac
terra. Thirty years ago he gave this
principle to surgery, and the science
has been revolutionized.
Sir Joseph studied medicine at Uni
versity college, London, and even in hi
student days published pamphlets OF
medical subjects. He afterward became
first house surgeon at University CollegC
hospital and later went to Edinburgh
where he distinguished himself by hi
painstalSing researches and brilliant lee
lures. He was made professor of surgery
in the University Of Glasgow in 1860
and it was while there that he begal
the studies which led to his discoverie
in antiseptic surgery. In 1869 he sue
ceeded Professor Syme in the chair o
clinical surgery at Edinburgh. and tel
years later he went to London to take
chair in Kings college. He resigned tn
latter three years later, but he has mad
his home in London ever since. He ha

son, in spite OF the recent crusades
against social folly, and there did not
seem to be any particular repression OF
it's usual silly features. We have the
consolation at least of knowing that
our own Frenchified follies are duly ad-
vertised, and that we receive there
from an impressive amount of moral
admonition, whereas in other cities
they go on without comment or exploit
tation. Perhaps this is credit to the
real forces Of morality that exist so ac-
lively in our town.
The continued tendency toward out
breaks of crimes against the person is
the saddest and most disheartening
feature of the new year. A number OF
the most sensational of the recent MUIR
der cases have all the symptoms of an
epidemic of thirst for blood. The muir

derers were so plainly insane in the
causelessness and ferocity of their
deeds that one Is at a loss to account
for the presence of such barbarsm in
this presumed age of enlightenment.
There is little to hope from police
methods, and there is no remedy in the
prating about "degeneracy." Evidently
the foundations OF society have been
seriously undermined in the traits Of
mercifulness and long suffering which
are the cardinal Christian virtues.
There is p growing opirion that educa-
tional methods need to be adapted
more intimately to the moral training
of the coming generation. And 1t
would be we'll if some remedy could
be provided against the need !ess public
ity of the more shameful and degrad-
ing features of criwe.
II reports are true, the New York
baseball club will go into the field more
formidable this year than ever before.
1t has dozen pitchers under contract,
and the usual runo?3 are heard in re-
gard to the wonderful new blood"
that is to be introduced Such talk Is
entertaining, but 1t does not amount
to much. All the new wonders in
troduced last year did not Gll "A corner
of the hole made by Rusies absence,
and perhaps the best assurance we
have OF better state Of affairs this
year is that the club has in Joyce a
captain who Is full of life and energy,
and is likely to make the best of the
material at his command The re-
turn of the season of baseball gossip
is to be welcomed as a slight relief to
the general gloominess or cantanker-
BUSINESS that seems to have enveloped
the columns Of the local press.
The decision handed down by Judge
Osborne regarding Riley Grannon
seems to have lifted burden off the
shoulders Of the Jockey Club. The eff
forts to purify the racing tracks, so
that honest sport shall he its real pur-
pose, will now go on with enhanced
vigor. The result may place the lead
ing turf bcdy here on a sounder basis
than exists anywhere else. Local
horsemen are disposed to oppose any
amendment of the Grey racing law by
the present Legislature. 1t Is not
thought that the present law has had a
thorough trial as .-Ct, and it is believed
1t will work to general satisfaction un-
der the conditions governing race
tracks that will prevail this year.

Special New York Letter.
The Board OF Health of this city Is
, about to undertake an experiment that
| will attract attention all over the CIVIL
lied world. BY a resolution adopted
| this week, II has declared pulmonary
| tuberculosis, or consumption, TO De
an infectious and communicable ul-
sease, dangerous to the public health,
and ranking It with diphtheria, meas
les, and the like diseases. The resolu-
tion makes 1t the duty OF every ply
sician In private practice to report mi
nutely to the sanitary Bureau of the
Board, all cases of patients having con-
sumption whom they have attended or
of whom they have knowledge. The
report must be made within week
from the receipt of notice by the Board.
The resolution is also made applicable
to The managers and physicians OF pub
lie and private hospitals and disponsa-
ries In the city.
The programme is q very radical and
progressive one, but it viii undoubted-
1y have the support of all who thor
oughly understand the present state
of medical knowledge regarding con-
sumption. Practically 1t Is a step to-
ward stamping out consumption, as
cholera and diphtheria have been sub
dued.
Said President Wilson OF the Board
of Health: "Consumptives will be iso'
lated, taken from their families, like
those with measles or diphtheria. Chill
dren in families where consumption ex'
lists will be kept from school," Prob
ably, in the nature of things, the new
plan will be brought into operation
gradually. One of the first results o.
the resolution will be to secure accu
rate statistics of the consumptives II
the city. The disease Is not generally
regarded as contagious, but medica
science is now of one opinion as to tn,
archaeological origin of the disease
and 1t follows that 1t can be almost to
tally suppressed by thorough hygeni
precautions.
The insidious character and SLOW
progress of consumption in most case
makes 1t difficult to class 1t with th
really infectious diseases, which ar
usually quick to develop and rapid IL
progress. 1t will also be difficult t,
isolate such a lingering disease, whlcl
does not often incapGcilate the patien
from attending to ordinary duties o
social pleasures. TLcSc condition
make the disease all the more dan
gerous. 1t is probable that the case
will be rare where patients will b
isolated outside of their homes, bu
where the family is SO situated tha
constant contact Is necessary, removG
to a hospital will be enforced. In spec
ial cases, a whole family will be isolat
ed until the danger of infection to 9th
ers Is removed and the patient take
proper care of. Indeed, it is intende
that such discretion will characteriz
the enforcement OF the new rules tha
little hardship will follow, and tha
families containing consumptives wi
see that it is for their protection es
pecially that the rules are made.
The resolution OF the Board wa
fastened by the report presented tw
weeks ago by DIR. Hermann M. Bigg
