CLEANING Up A NARSH|P
THE pHILADELPHIA'S MACHIN-
cry BEING OVERHAULED.
After Long Voyages and Big Runs the
Engineers Are Having Il Lively Time
Two Months Steady WORK Ahead.

The Philadelphia is now receiving
| the first thorough cleaning and over
| hauling she has had in Il year During
/ that time she has been so everlasting
| ly on the go that there has been no
/ opportunity to clean ship. Within
| the past four months she has travelled
nearly 10000 miles. Leaving San
| Francisco on the 2Sth of last Novem-
Der she steamed to Valparaiso, and
/ then back again to the Golden Gate, Il
| total distance of over 10000 miles.
| Afterward she went as far south as
Callao, steaming back up the Central
American coast and visiting several
ports, before bringing up at san
| Diego. from which point she came Ill
rect to Honolulu.
To one unfamiliar with the machin-
cry of a great cruiser, the details of
| her coal consumption seems incred-
| ible. The Philadelphia has four great
] boilers, but only two are used under
ordinary conditions. On her trial trip.
when all four were i'm use the big
cruiser attained maximum speed of
fraction over 10 knots. Since that
time. however, only two have been in
use at one time on any of her cruises.
During her recent run down from the
coast she consumed 500 tons of coal
Her bunkers will carry 1900 tons. The
Philadelphia's coal bill for the last
quarter was almost $4,000; but then,
it must be taken into consideration
that coal is very expensive on the Cen
trail and South American coasts.
The run down from San Francisco
was made under full steam, at the best
speed that could be made with the
pressure from two boilers. 1t requires
the services of twenty-four firemen TO
fire the boilers, working in gangs of
eight-four hours on and eight off.
1t requires an enormous amount of
labor to clean ship after such a long
run. Every movable plate and piece
of machinery under the decks is taken
up and scrubbed and polished. Should
the vessel remain in port it will re-
quire two months for the firemen to
get through with the work already
blocked out for them, but should it be
necessary for the big cruiser to weigh
anchor tomorrow, everything can be
put back in place so quickly as not to
cause n moments delay.

The State School Appropriation.

The argument that the condition of
the states finances justifies a curtai-
ment of the biennial state appropria
ton for public education has no weight
with us. If the state, through it's legis
lature, has in the past contracted obl-
cations foolishly it must retrench
where its eXtraVagances began. I'm
der no circumstances must there be any
sacrifice of the efficiency of our free
school system. That is to the state
what a paid-up life insurance policy is
to the family of man threatened by
disease
But we are more disposed to consider
the argument that profuse state aid is
really unwise for the best interests of
the schools themselves. 1t may be
doubted if the tendency of local
school boards throughout the COM
monwealth to depend for financial sup
port on the state treasury at Harris
burg has not progressed further than
is compatible with local self-relance
and the wholesome spirit of self-help
which used to be proverbially charac-
teristc of Americans. 1t seems to us
that we are depending in these modern
days rather too much on legislation of
some kind or other and too little upon
personal eXertion. In matters educa-
tional as in charities, the state should
help those first and most who eVince
the ability and the inclination to help
themselves.

To Check Consumption's Spread.

The growing tendency among sani-
tarians to employ the police powers
of society in the battle against con-
sumption is strongly manifest in pa
per recently read by Naval Surgeon
Thomas G. Craig before the National
Sanitary association. This paper is re-
produced in the last issue of the Medical
Record and is most readable
DR.. Craig first points out that the
annual mortality from tuberculosis ex-
ceeds that from any other disease be-
ing about IA per cent. in the vicinity of
Brooklyn, and says: This large per-
centaSe is not alone confined to this
area, but prevails with equal degree
in many other places. The geograph-
ical distribution of this disease is
greater than that of any other. Wher-
ever you find civiliz9 tion you will find
cases of consumption; in the homes of
the rich and in the homes of the Door.
from the Arctic to the Antarctic from
the east to the west. No cure has yet
been found for it; merely alienation for
those who have to endure the suffering,
Deen
allowed to claim its victims by the
thousands annually, without there
seeming to be anything done to limit
it's raVages or to call halt in its re-
lentless advance. Consumption is COM
monty regarded as one of the diseases
that we must live with, and if by
chance one contracts it then it must be
endured by him, while others run theil
risks of becoming infected. Whole
families have thus been carried off by
one of their number having contracted
this disease and in turn injecting all
the remaining ones. Municipal control
very quickly asserts itself, should case
of leprosy happen to be discovered in
any of our cities; yet when il is known
that leprosy is far less infectious than
tuberculosis, and that leprosy is not
nearly so quickly fatal, the great won
der is that we have neglected for sc
long the more infectious of these two
very similar diseases"
DR., Craig is not prepared as vet TO
advocate the forcible removal of all
persons infected with tuberculosis from
their homes to suitable sanatoria, there
to be isolated and quarantined until
cured, although he believes that If pub
lie opinion We're educated up TO such
a system it would save many lives.
But he does insist strongly upon the an
plication to this disease of the ordinary
rules of sanitation and control such as
are applied by every well-regulated
municipality to other infectious dis
eases. For instance
The number of areas of infection could
be reduced good food could be supplied
proper ventilation could be instituted and
to the poor, clothing furnished Munich
pal control of the consumptive need not
mean the same control as is exercised over
