The contention Of Benjamin Kidd
the author of Social Evolution" TIA:
white men cannot become acclimatizeG
in the tropics has stirred up wide dis
cussion. DR.. Manson, who has writ
ten book upon this subject, and DR..
Rho, director of the medical depart
ment of the Italian navy. are thorough
believers in the possibility of tropical
acclimatization. The death rate of Eu-
ropean troops in the tropics, which
used to be from 100 to 129 per 1000
is now as low as II per 1000 in India
In Trinidad and Barbados the sickness
and mortality among European sol
diers are actually less than at home
The Beers are physically the finest
men in South Africa. The Portuguese
under favorable social conditions have
been totally absorbed in India. but in
Guiana and Brazil they have thrived
remarkably well. Spaniards and Ital-
ians have become completely acclima-
tized in the tropical parts of both
North and South America. The death
rate of Spaniards in Cuba is less than
in Spain. 1t is to the microbe of the
tropics rather than to the heat that
attention should be directed. accord
ing to the New York Medical News.
The different experiences of the men
in ships and the men on land at San
tiago, it thinks, proved this beyond
question. They endured the heat but
pot the malaria.
