The Missouri Pacific system ia max
ing rapid strides in their maintenance
of way Department., and 100 miles OF
new steel have been laid on the main
line of the Iron Mountain since the
first of this year, and during the same
period sixty-five miles of new steel have
been put in the main line Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific between St. Louis
and Kansas City. The work of cutting
down the grades on the Iron Mountain
alone, which has been authorized by
President George j. Gould, will cost
at least 5000, 900. 1t will take two
years to finish the work, as outlined
in the estimates, Extensive improve
ments in the main line are going on all
over the system. The mines at
Joplin, on the Missouri Pacific, furnish
some of the best ballast in the country
in the way of zinc tailings. which is
used extensively on the Gould lines.
The work alone of raising the main
line of the central division through
Gum Swamp, in Arkansas, distance
of seventeen miles, has been going on for
ten years. The Auburn levee, to which
the Missouri Pacific subscribed S1O,-
900, and which was erected as a pro-
lection to the plantations in the vi
cinity of Gum Swamp, has been of
great help to that section. This, to-
gether with the scientific draining of
Gum Swamp, which has been going on
for two years. has improved the situa-
ton greatly.-Houston Post.

Land of the Sky

In western North Carolina, between
the Blue Ridge on the east and the AL
leghanies on the west, in the beautiful
valley OF the French Broad, two thou
sand feet above the sea, lies Asheville,
beautiful, picturesque and world-famed
as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t is land of bright skies
and incorporate climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and
whose beauties of stream, valley and
mountain height have furnished sub
ject and inspiration for the painter
brush. This is truly the Land of the
Sky, and there is perhaps no more
beautiful region on the continent to at
tract pleasure tourists or health seek
ers. Convenient schedules and very
low rates to Asheville via Southern

CONSUMPTION DURABLE.
The Disease Is Transmitted by Co n.
taqion and Not by Heredity.


Prof. Graucher recently read a re
port before the French Academy O
Medicine on the subject of tuberculosis
attribut!ng the heavy mortality rate
largely to the fact that the disease is
not taken in time. He does not con-
slider it an incura bile disease, it becomes
so only because it is left to itself when
it might be cured by informing the
patient fully of his danger and the
1t is contaRiOn and not heredity that
is chiefly Irresponsible for the propsga-
ton of the disease. His paper is fur
Their summarized by the Medical Re
cord as follows:
What family, either in the direct or
collateral line, is not tuberculous? If,
he adds, heredity is sufficient to create
the disease, everybody in Paris would
| be tuberculous. Heredity may pre-
| pare the ground, but it is cOntagion
that spreads the disease. The bacilli-
These two great points-that
tuberculosis is not incurable and
that heredity is not sufficient to
create the disease-are the most
potent arguments against that si-
lence and deception regarding the
diagnoses that have sent so many tens
of thousands to the grave. And how

long and severe treatment that their
cases demand it we do not open their
eyes to the true nature of their malady?
If a tuberculOus patient is to get we'll,
such a one must will to get we'll: and,
being appraised that Tuberculosis is not
incurable, the will will be forthcoming
and the requisite treatment can be in
augurated and carried out.
AS for the rest, do we not find after
pOst-mOrtem the remains of old tuber-
culous deposits in the lungs healed
long since, the lungs remaining other
wise healthy, the patients having died
of a disease in which the lungs were
not in any way involved? And, if tu-
berculosis can and does heal itself.
how much more readily ought it to heal
under proper treatment and hygienic
surroundings? With reference to the
latter, he is inclined to consider them
the more important of the two. 1t is,
as already noted, the sputa that are
the real means of spreading the di-
sease.
First of all. the declaration of the
disease ought to be made by the doc
tor, with authorization Of the family.
The disinfectiOu of the apartment
should be done every now and then,
and always after death of tuberculo-
sis. But it is against splitting that our
chief effort must be directed. A pocket
spittoon should be provided for each
and every patient, especially in hospi-
tai practice: splitting on the floor pro-
hlbited: and every room occupied by a
patient disinfected as soon
as left. AboveIsll, no sweeping should
ever be allowed. but the broom should
ever be replaced by cleansing with
wet spOn ge or mop.

in the course of an interview with the
Tsung Lii Yamen (board of foreign con-

assist China to liquidate the Japanese in
demnity and would provide loan of { l2,-
100000 at par, to run for so years, the in
terest to be per cent net, including sink
ing fund. The conditions are as follows:
First: The opening of the three treaty
ports, the fallen Wan, Siang-In and Nan
Ming, thereby increasing the customs rev.
enues. Second: A declaration that no
portion of the Yang Use Kiang valley shall
be coded to any other power. Third: The
right to extend the Burmah railway
through Human province 1.-THE most south
western part of China).
In the event of her default China is to
place certain revenues under the control
of the imperial customs. On this basis the
negotiations will proceed. China regards
them as advantageous, but fears the
threatened opposition of France and Rus
STA, and especially to the opening of Ia
lien-Wan and Nan-Ning.
The Times, commenting on the report,
suggests that Siang-In, which the CORE
spondent describes as in Human, is a tele'
graphic error and means either Slang
Yang, in Hu-Poi province. or Slang Tang,
in Human province.
