A Medical Expert on the Dangers of Con
tagiOn From the Disease.

OSA~
tagion From the Disease.
Knowing that there are more
eases of pulmonary consumption at
Colorado Springs in proportion to
its population than in any other city
Or town in the United States, and
perhaps in the world, l wrote some
time ago for information to DR.. S.
3. Solly of that city, we'll known as
q writer on consumption and china
tology, and whose experience in the
treatment of that disease has been
large and extends over a period of
many years. In reply I received the
following:
"The dangers of contagion from
a consumptive are so easily control
led that it is by no means necessary
to separate consumptives from
healthy persons. You ask me con
corning my experience here. At
least a third of our population are
consumptives. The town, which ION
tains some IS, 900 people, has been
established 20 years. An inquiry
made by disinterested physicians in
to the number of cases of consump-
ton that were known to have o1igi-
mated in the town resulted in a re-
port of 20 in all. Although it is
probable that our brilliant sunshine
and dry air more quickly destroy
the vitality of the bacilli than your
eastern atmosphere, yet in the poor
er lodging houses of the town there
are many i'll ventilated rooms, in
side or on the north side of the
building, inhabited by consumptives
and their families, where reckless
ness of expectoration and careless
ness of ordinary cleanliness are
marked features of their domestic
menage, yet cases of oontagion do
not average mor than one a year."
At Colorado Springs the consump-
tives mingle with the other resi-
dents of the city or all occasions
at church service, theater, concerts
and in the overheated and crowded
rooms of private residences during
social functions. They reside in the
same hotels, boarding houses and
private dwellings with those not af-
1icted with the disease, and no at
tempt at isolation has been made.
Notwithstanding this apparent in
difference on the part of the local
authorities to the contagiousness of
the disease only 20 cases have origi-
mated in Colorado Springs in 20
years.
AT DavOs Platz, in Switzerland,
where l spent a winter a few years
ago, a very large number of con
sumptives staying. The hotels
were crowded, and of the 1,5OO
strangers in the village about 1000
were consumptives. AT the hotel at
which l staid there were about 12O
guests, about so of whom were CON
sumptives. AT Davos, during the
winter, the invalid's day for outing
is limited to AZ hours. The remain
der of the "a hours is spent within
doors. No n stood in dread of con
tracing the disease, and no cases
occurred in which it was conveyed
from person to person. No special
precautions were taken by the phy-
sicians and local authorities to pre-
vent contagion other than good ven
~tilation of the living and bedrooms.
AS in Colorado Springs, no cases of
the disease originated ct Davos.--

A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT,
The Method by which u Deaf and
Blind BOY Was Taught.

Blind BOY Was Taught.
William T. Ellis writes paper for
the st. Nicholas on "Helen, Keller and
Tommy Stringer," telling how the we'll
known blind girl secured means for the
education. of a little boy similarly af-
fiicted. By personal appeals to the pub
lie Helen raised a sufficient sum to send
little Tommy Stringer to the kinder
garten for the blind at Jamaica Plain,
Mass. Mr.. Ellis says of his education in
this institution:
"Thither, on April 10, 1891, came
"Baby Tom," as Helen called this five
year-old child. 1t was a pitiful spec
tacle that greeted his Boston friends
when the boy was brought to the kim
dergarten. His life had been spent
mostly in bed Git was the easiest place
to care for him), and he could not
walk at all, nor even stand with con-
fidence. Of signs for indicating his
wants he had none. He was as little
beast, tearing and destroying his own
clothes, and all else destructible that
was within his reach. His temper and
stubbornness were fearful. ..... .;,..
To the appalling task of giving the
first rays of light to this child, Helen
and her teacher set themselves, until q
permanent instructor could be secured.
With almost inconceiyable patience and
love; kind friends began the education
OF this untutored mind. The lessons of
discipline, regular habits, and ober
dience had to precede and accompany
the teaching of manual speech. ...
How could this child, who had not
the remotest conception of any sort of
language, be taught to talk?
The method, simply stated, was this:
Every time that bread was given him
the letters "b-r-e-a-d" were formed in
tho manual alphabet on the boys own
fingers, and also in his hand, by the
fingers Of his teacher. Again and again
this was repeated, thousands of times.
1t was slow work. The mind had lain
too long without knowledge to receive
easily the idea of speech. Even after
the teachers were sure that Tom under
stood the definite connection between
the word "bread" and those finger mo-
tions, he refused to use his knowledge,
because of his strange perversity. At
last, after nine months of teaching and
waiting, the little fingers voluntarily
spelled "b-r-e-a-d," and the beginning
had been made. 900 ~ r";
Other words soon followed, and ere
long the mystery of speech was COM
pretended. Tom took his place in
the kindergarten classes and learned
all that was taught the other boys.
Reading, writing, arithmetic, gym
nnstics and other studies were UNI
dertaken; and to-day, in almost all
respects, save such as are entirely de-
pendent upon eye and ear, he is as well
educated as the average boy of his
| years.

brings each year large increase in the

these there have been erected during the

However, the natural increase will be much
more than doubled this year by the fact
that the compulsory education law goes

David Atkins. of old 50 Church street.
where he had lived over twenty-five years

obstruction OF the bowels, due to an in

contents of the bowels. He was placed upon
the operating table at the hospital, with a
view 10 relieving his condition, if possible,
BY surgical procedure as a last resort. Dr.
w. V. Morgan was present to do the oper-
ating, with the assistance of DR.. George
Nash, who was his physician. Ether was
administered by DIR. Norman +. Jobes the
house physician and anesthetizer Before
anesthesion was complete Atkins attempted
to clear his throat of mucus, when his heart
gave way and death resulted before he be-
came unconscious from the ether. An eX-

last night. The heart was found enormous
enlarged and the mitral valves thickened
and imperfect. The bowels we've black and

doubtful If the proposed operation would
have saved his life.
Mr.. Atkins was well known on the South

well. He took an active part in Republican
politics. Mr.. c. NJ. Wills. who knew Mr..
