NATIONAL QUARANTINE NOT TO
BLAME.
Dr. Clark Takes Exception to DR.
LeHnrdN's Statement.


Assistant Surgeon Taliaferro Clark of
the Sapelo quarantine station, takes OK
cepuon to a portion Of the recent inter
view in the Morning News with DR.. Le-
Hardy on national control of quarantine.
In a letter TO the Morning News Dr.. Clark
says: Il wish to correct an error in that
portion Of DR.. LeHardy's statement Of
Jan. 16 in which he charges the marine
hospital service with discriminatiug
against Savannah. by ordering consuls TO
direct vessels with clean bills of health.
bound for Savannah, TO proceed via this
station. The marine hospital service is
not, and never has been at fault in this
ma tier"
II seems TO have been fact that prior
10 Dec. 15 vessels from Rio Janeiro to Sa-
vannah were occasionally directed by the
consul at Rio to stop at Sapelo for
inspection and distinction, if necessary.
DR.. Geddings called the attention of the
surveyor general to the matter with the
recommendation that action by the con-
sui at Rio being unnecessary and
entailing delay and expense, should be dis
continued. The surgeon general at once
took the matter up with the state depart
ment, which notified the consul at Rio. on
Dec H. that the quarantine regulations of
the United States do not provide for con-
suls to direct vessels to proceSd to quar-
antine stations.

A man weighs less when the barom-
eter is high, Notwithstanding the fact
that the atmospheric pressure on him
is more than when the barometer is
low. AS the pressure of air on an or
dinary-sized man is about IS tons, the
rise of the mercury from go inches to
81 inches adds about one ton TO the
load he has to carry.
