Statistics prepared by the New York
City Board of Health show that since
1874, when the rule was made by the
Roard of Education that no pupil
should be- allowed to attend school nur
any teacher employed unless vaccinated.
not one pupil or teacher was afflicted
with smallpox. Tho statistics also
show that in no other city in the State
arc vaccine virus and diphtheria anti
toxin manufactured in such largs
quantities. The death rate since 1892
has decroaaed from l.. 2I per !. 600 to 80
per LOCO. although tho population has
increased from hos. l21 to /, 800, 562.
In :, 400 cases traatad with diphtheria
antitoxin by inspectors of the Board in
1880, 1896 and 1897 there we're only 3C3
deaths. Tho cost OF dinhtheria antitoxin,
as manufactured by the Board OF
iienth is 81 an ounce. If purchased
at drug stores it would cost Sl2 an
ounce. Manufacturing in large quanti-
tics made it possible to produce both
vaccine virus and antitoxin at the
lowest possible cost. These figures have
been compiled to combat the bill re.
Gently introduced in the Legislature to

BE to us, they swarmed like ants
up its old walls. 1t was an un-
canny sight; death, horrible,
writhing and hideous-death in
tangled knots oi quivering black
and yellow. One great brute
would get halt way up and then slip
back, to De instantaeously bitten
to death by his co npanions 1t is
a curious point about the Hyman-
dras that, when inhamed with rage,
they bite and kill each other as
readily as the common enemy. A
second or two OF their awful poison
does the business, and the surviv-
ors often devour the dead. By far
the greater number killed this day
were poisoned bv each other. We
waited and watched until there
seemed but a few lett moving.
They had won the fort and killed
most Of themselves in the effort.
Then we went to the netting, inside
which were some dozen. cleaning
brutes trying vainly to get out.
These we quickly despatched by
the now red stained canes, and then
we set to work to collect the dead
and cut their heads of--no agree
able task, and one by no. means
tree from danger, as some still had
a little lite left.

The Insane OF Ru.sia.

In the last number of the Rus
sian journal. AykhtV Psikkiatyft,
appears an interesting article by
DR.. Yakovenko, throwing much
light upon the present state OF
Russian lunatic asYlums, and COM
pairing the provisions now made
bv the zemstvos for dealing with
lunatics with the state OF affairs be-
tore the DAYS OF zemstvos, says the
London Lancet. Like so many
other modern institutions and
methods in Russia. the present
system dates from that great epoch
of reforms which included the
emancipation Of the seriS in 1861
and the introduction ofthe system
Of local selEgoVernment by zems-
tvos in 1868 Before that period
the care OF the insane in Russia was
in the hands OF a governmental
body known as the Prikaz, or min
istry OF social supervision (PSIkas
06SchsckeSfVeNnago &ris1ie Nta).
When the functions Of this body
passed over to the zemstvos, there
was asylum accommodations in
Russia for 1907 patients; now the
number has grown to o,o5o. For
merly the annual sum expended
on each patient was 90 rubles
(about S4s), now it is aI5 rubles
lover SIos). Consequently the
total annual cost ot the asylum
population Of Russia is at the
present time not far short OF ,ooo,-
900 rubles, instead of only little
over 100, 900 as formerly.
Great improvements have also
been introduced in the methods of
treating the insane. Forty years
ago there was still a tendency to
regard lunatics almost in the light
Of criminals, and to treat them as
criminals rather than as uniortu-
nate victims Of disease. All this
has now been altered. The chains
and ropes, cages and bars. hand
cuffs and strait waistcoats, which
were formerly found in every asy-
lum in constant use, are now things
Of the past, and physical restraint
is resorted to only in rare cases
where It is absolutely necessary.
In brief, the treatment Of the insane
IN Russia is now conducted on the
same principles OF science, COM
mon sense, and humanity as in
other countries. But, writes DR..
YakoVenko, there is still a good
deal to be done before the asylum
accommodation in Russia can be
regarded as adequate. He calcu-
lates that the number of insane
persons in the governments under
zemstvos rule is somewhere be-
tween I77, 900 and 10000. Con-
sequentlY, at the present time only
some per cent. of the total mum.
Der are now treated in asylums.
Comparing Russia in this respect
with other countries, he finds that
in France the proportion Of insane
under control in asylums to the
total number of insane is 40 per
cent; in Switzerland, SO per cent;
in America. 90 per cent, and in
Scotland it is as high as SO per
cent. The immediate aim OF the
zemstvos, the article concludes,
should be at least to provide ac-
commodation for such cases as alb
sOlutely require asylum treatment,
and as these may be reckoned at
about 40 per cent. Of the whole, il
follows that the present number of
available beds should be at least
tripled.
