BOERs AND ATROCITIES.
Firing on Hospitals max have been
Done inadvertently

Sir William Thompson, late President
of the Irish College of Surgeons, and
chief surgeon of the Irish Hospital,
contributes to "the British Medical
Journal" some suggestive reflections on
the atrocities which the Beers are
averred to have committed by delibera-
tely firing on ambulances and hospitals
flying the Red Cross flags. Sir William,
who dates his notes from Naauwport,
says that the flags now in use are not
sufficiently distinctive, and that he has
come to understand "how a hospital
may be shelled by an enemy in utter
ignorance of what it really is" Indeed,
he goes further than this general ex-
preston, and, as the result Of a trial
which he himself made, asserts that in
calm weather the flags "were absolute
ly indistinguishable at 200 yards"
though he knew the exact place to look
for tiagposts. A very reasonable sug-
gestiOn is made by Sir William namely
that a light canvas on a wire frame,
bearing the Red Cross, should be erect
ed above the hospital when the breeze
is not strong enough to shake out the
ordinary flag and render it visible at a
distance.

THIRSTY LONDON.
The Quantity of Water Required to
 Supply the Big City.

supply the Big City.
 In 1884 the astounding total of 192,- 100000 gallons a day was reached by the combined water companies of Lon. don. This was supplied to the 5,500,- 900 inhabitants at the rate Of, say, thirty-two gallons a head for all pur- poses. These figures represent an enormous volume of water. though small when compared with the mighty river that flowed into old Rome. We can only deal with the figures roughly; the supply fluctuated to a considerable degree at different times in the year; 1t is therefore not possible to be math- ematicaIly accurate. Allowing for a slight increase since the last return, and taking in other sources. to which I shall refer little later, we may pretty safely put the present London water supply at about 200, ,000 gal tons a day Let us try for a moment 10 realize what these figures mean.
 With 00,000,900 gallons of water we could fill q lake a mile long, a quarter of mile wide and five feet deep. The water in it would weigh nearly a ntI= lipn tons. This lake would stretch from the. Bank of Church, yet 1t would be- emptied in single day to assuaga the thirst of London Or suppose we aould freeze all this water, we could build up a great block of ice a thou sand feet long, a thousand feet wide and thirty~two feet high If we allow for the expansion of freezing the block would of course be still bigger. Sixty five of the largest fronclads in the British navy could float in the water we use every day in London When We come to compare our supply with the mighty torrent of Niagara we be- little it. The water goes laundering over the falls at the rate of 2,000, ,000 tons minute, or 429,009, ,090 gallons. Our whole daily supply would be whirled over long before the second hand of a watch would have travelled once around the dial And could we divert the magnificent torrent for only three hours we could supply London with water for whole year at the present rate. Niagara is a big thing Good Words.

As Interested and Excited as Those
 Who Can Sec.
 I was out at the race track one day last winter said a merchant, when I was aecosted by man who was holding the hand of a little boy It was a former friend, whom l had not seen for years and who had become totally blind He told me that he rec ognized my voice, and while we slood there talking the bell rang from the track. They're going to startl' he ex- claimed, exeitedly. 'Comel Let's get into the grandstand as quickly as we can! After We secured seats I eouldn't help expressing surprise at his eager hess. Oh. that's all right he replied abstraetedly. T bet I'll get nearly as much out of it as you do, and after watching him through the next race became convinced that he was telling the truth. To besin with, he fired a yolley of short, sharp questions at the poy, and in that way obtained a good general idea of the situation Then he leaned forward like a man about to spring. l never saw such all attitude of fierce and concentrated attention To say that he seemed to be listening doesn't begin to express it. He seemed to be literally absorbing everything that was going OH around him. His chin was lifted. his lips were a little apart, red spot came and went on his checks, and could see the big veins in his neck throbblng like ar engine. It was an uncanny spectacle. couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was exercising solae unnatural, super human faculty. After the race was run he dropped back. relaxed, and sat there 1istless and inert until the next tap of the bell. Later, when we were in the street car, tried to learn some thing of his experience. He smiled good-naturedly, but found difficulty in making me understand. I get a lot of pleasure out of the races, he said, and can follow some of them almost as we'll as if had my sight I can't tell ex- aetly how it is done. I suppose my brain has become trained to catch hun dreds of little eues-the shouts of the people on the track, the exclamattons of the crowd, the cheers and laughs and gfoans and curses, the chance re- marks of passers; yes. even the chatter of feet-eyerything means something to me, and although it builds up a pie ture in my mind, l feel it somewhere in the air, and get so excited that@I for get all about being blind Oh no, he said, T wouldn't miss the races for anything.

 THE KfPU.
A Bunch Of Strings Used by the Ancients
 to Keep Accounts.


 Dr. Max Uhle, a distinuished Ger man scientist, has been for many years engaged in archaeological ex- plorations in Peru. He now ret ns to that country under the auspices of the American Exploration society. for the purpose of clearing some of the unsolyed problems of the ancient civ ilization of the Ineas and to complete collection for the museum of the University of California Fe had made a similar collection fer the Uni- yersity of Pennsylvania Dr.e uhle proposes to remain two years in Peru to complete his work Among other ] important discoveries of Dr UhIe is 1 the kipu. a collection Of knotted strings of different colors, which were used 1 by the people of the ancient eiyiliza- tiona of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for the purpose Of keeping accounts. They had no written language and, no sys- tem of figures Their arithmetic con sisted solely Of little knotted strings. Among the primitive villages of tho l Andes the descendants of the Incas depend upon the Rip8 for keeping #ac- counts, and Dr. Uhle was SC fortunate as to discover them in tne hands of Indian herdsmen.. who used them SO skillfally that they are able 10 make a record of every animal, every bashei of feed and article of property 1hat f4 intrusted to their care. The colors of the different stiings represent differ ent articles. such as barley, corn. sheep, rams. ewes. lambs. horses, etc, while the knots. by their size and dis tanee from each other, express hun dfeds. tens and units, in such q nan Fer as to accurately include the deci- malls. For example, one of the Ripus obtained by D. .Uhle from a shepherd near Lake Titacaea showed that he had delivered S87 sheep, 285 rams, 12f lambs year old, and 99 still younger. the number of bushels of barley that had been used. the number of sheep killed and furnished to the kitchen of the owner of the flock, and the num- Der eaten by the shepherds, the num- Der that died of disease the number killed by wild animals and by acci~ dent, as completely and as accurately as if it had all been set down by deuble-entry bookkeeping.

At Dorchester. Dorset, England, which has proved so rich in ancient Roman relics, another interesting dis -eovery has just been made. During some excavations on q building estate On the confines of the borough, and only few hundred yards from the an cient Roman amphitheater. a splendid specimen of a villa pavement has been disclosed. Several similar discoveries have been made of late years, but noth- ing so fine or well preserved has yet been recorded. The pavement is about two feet below the surface. and the de- sign is unusually elaborate, while the eoIoring of the tesserae remains al- most as fresh as when laid down. The discovery is regarded as of great ira- portanee. The find will probably be secured for the British museum.

BeRLIN's CLEAN STREETS.

Residents Vie with One Another in
 Making Them Pfesentable.
 Bicyclists who have ridden much on the asphalt streets of German cities say that the tendency to "side slip'' is there much less marked than on sim liar payements in this country The explanation of this fact may possibly lie in the statement which is made by the American consul at Breslau that the asphalt streets in that city are regularly washed, the purpose of the washing being to remove the slime which the asphalt seems to leave and to keep the street from being slippery. The washing has the further effect of preserving and hardening the asphalt. The care taken of the asphalt by the city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted in the United States. For instance, the space in front of the consulate is di- vided into four squares, which are in charge of one man. After cleaning the streets early in the morning he wheels out a barrow load of very fine, sharp sand and scatters it lightly over the streets to prevent slipping. On sainy days the process is repeated sev- eral times. Once a week the whole street is sluieed and thoroughly washed with sprinkling carts. These are followed by ample roller brushes. which sweep the water and slime into the gutter, whence it is carted away. After this the man who has charge of the street comes along with his wheel barrow and sand sprinkler. Tn spring or autumn, when the streets are often sloppy and wet, the washing is done several times during the week.

 The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the full term of life" for man, and other mammals based upon the theery that there is a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length of life. Accident, dis ease and SO forth, have to be etiminat- a.from the calculation. According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term, namely, the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about 90 years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity. come the camel and the Arabian horse, whose term of life is about 42 years.

 By This Method Russia Cuts Down Hsr

 Since the commencement of the Trans Siberian railway immigration to Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader Be- tween 1882 and 1885 only 65o,0oo per- sons entered the country, viz. 50.909 every year 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 03,000; in 1898 they reached 205000. The immigra- ton is conducted by a committee of officials. whose members portion out the land through which the new rail- way runs. Up to the present moment t5,000.00o acres have been occupied, and this comprises all the available agricultural land. But, notWithstand- ing. the Russian government allows thousands of immigrants still to swarm into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason Of the governments apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get ria of the starving theu- sands in European Russia. There is no cwilizing Influence with these fresh immigrants The majority are beg ea5s with scarcely more intelligence than the Asiatics already in Siberia. The filing up Of Siberia by the pres ant-day proeeas is nothing less than the useless sacrifice of thousands of Iaf,Iaar bpipp1
