are further causes of exhaustion. It
is found also that during forced work
the telegraph operators breathing is
a Effected, his hearts action precipitated
and his brain congested AS a result
Of these phenomena it is noticeable
that general decline of the organism
follows ending in tuberculosis"
According to Mr.. Hull, the ordinary
death rate for tuberculosis is 1873;
thai of telegraph operators is 46.6. And
what is true of tuberculosis applies to
other affections of the respiratory or
gans The general death rate for the
latter is 3.5. but 1t rises to 1874 among
telegraph operators between Is and %
years of age, to 23.1 between % and 35
years of age, instead of 40. and to IL,
instead of 5.3. between the ages of So
and 45. From 40 years upward 1t de-
clines, being 4.3, instead of SO, but
this diminution is very delusive, seeing
that 1t is due to the elimination Of the
weak members who have died off in the
preceding years. 1t becomes more
marked with increasing age. Between
% and GO 1t stands at O.5, instead of
54, and above 65 at O.4, instead of So.
But these are not the only affections to
which telegraph operators are LIABLE
The nervous tension which they endure
often gives rise to state requiring
immediate withdrawal from their
wOrI.

The pig of today is infinitely supe-
rlor to that which was generally found
in this country, say. quarter Of
century since. OF this there appears
to be little doubt, and, further. the
breeders of pure bred pigs would ap.
pear to be well within their right when
claiming that this marked improve
ment was mainly owing to the pigs
which had been distributed from their
herds, principally for crossing In the
more ordinary farm pigs. But do the
pure bred pigs of today possess any
