Forecast of the Annual Report of
Surgeon General SternberE.

In his annual report, which he has pre-
pared for submission, Surg. Gen. Stern
berg gives detailed account of the work
ings of the medical department of the
army during the past fiscal year. with
special reference to its work in the San
tiago campaign.
He states that the surgeons at Santi-
ago have accurately and impartially de-
scribed the difficulties of the campaign
there, the condition of the roads and the
rapid advance of the army. They have
told all the suffering of the wounded,
says the general, and the great number
of sick soldiers. The full statistics re-
lating to his department in the Santiago
campaign are also given.
The report includes his own comment
on the medical conduct of the war, dis
cussing the reports from corps and bri-
gade surgeons and summarizing the
whole. Gen. Sternberg says that the
work of the medical department has been
well and faithfully done. When the cir
cumstances and difficulties of handling the
cases are considered. he thinks, no criti-
cism should attach to his assistants OF
their work.

At a recent meeting of the Methodist
Ministerial Association. held in Phila.
dclphia. Rev. j. W. Milan said that he
had recently come across a very in
tcrcsting discovery made Ivy some II
working in the Smithsonian lnstttu-
ton. The discovery related to the
color Of sin. Several of the minis
tors present said the color of sin was
scarlet. because the Bible said 50. Mr..
Milan replied that the scientist who
had made this investigation had dis
covered that sin had Il distinct color o.
its own. He had. 10y means OF a chem
zeal process. examined the perspiratinn
of persons aroused to sinful passions.
When this was subjected to a certain
test the perspiration became pinktsh
in color. He had made more than
forty experiments, and in every in
stance the result was the same. The
PRECIPITATION coming from persons no,
under the influence of evil passions
does not have this color. Thus he is
led to believe that sin is in color 4
peculiar sickly pink pink that rather
has a wicked look Of its own.
DR.. Milan regarded this as another
instance whore science agreed with re-
ligiun, for the Bible frequently refers
to the color of sin. it's reference to scar
let being used for the reason that thl'
color was found the most dii'icult oI

of the Bible many sections can "
found which strengthen the claim TIA
