Cadet Booze is bringing ont man,
facts showing that haZing of the most
brutal and cowardly kind has been
common at West Point within few
years, whatever the conditions are
now. AS regards this victims particu-
lar case it proves that Booze entered
the academy in fine condition and left
four months later greatly depressed in
spirits, shattered in health and with
an injured throat; also that his physi-
cal break down, attended by mental
worry. left him in such a condition
that he could not readily throw off con-
sumption when it attacked him. Let
the investigation be searching and
thorough, for it is due the memory of
the dead cadet and the institution that
the whole truth be known.

renditu,e OF more than 100000 This
is probably at the present time only
frao tion of the grand total of such
property to be found along our sea
coast; but the indications are that it
is destined in the future to have a
much more rapid growth. The oppor-
tun.ties in this direction are almost
lim.tless. No less than 5000 streams and
lSCO lakes are shown upon our State
maps-and there is scarcely one of
them that has not attractions for the
sportsman and summer visitor. They
constitute fisherman's paradise,
and around many Of them are still
magnificent forests Astounding in game.
The commissioners do not believe
that there has been any decrease in
the number of deer in the State, and
attribute any appearance of this kind
to the fact that the game has moved,
to some extent, into new territory.
They are satisfied that the September
license law has worked well and that
it has not, as has been alleged. been
cause of forest fires. On the contrary
they hold that 1t has been a protection
to game and preserver of deer from
indiscriminate slaughter.

ing matters are treated in this valua-

The Fish and Game Report.

The annual report of the Fish and

and presents facts and figures which
may we'll claim the attention of
thoughtful citizens. Few people realize
either the Importance of these great
and growing interests of Maine or the
important bearing they have upon the
prosperity of our State.
When we read that Col. F. f. Booth

ticket agent of the Maine Central
Railroad, who is probably better post
man in Maine. estimates that 100000
people come to the inland territory of
our State to pass their vacations in
1900. we can begin to realize how i'm
poItant an cement our outing attrac-
tions have become in our general pros
perity. 1t also empha sizes the impor-
lance of doing everything possible to
increase the States attractions for such
visitors. The amount of money ex-
pended in our State by this large mum
Der of vacation visitors must total well
into the millions, but this is not by any
means all they contribute to the ma

DR.. A. G. Young in the Sanitary In
speotor: Sanatorium vs.. Sanitarium.
There has been a confusing mixup in
the use of these two words, many
journals in this country. as hitherto
with this. clinging to the latter for no
better reason perhaps than that its
use has been the American one. In no
other country. so far as | know. is the
word "sanitarium'' considered good
usage when applied to a place or in
stitution devoted to the treatment Of
the SICK. "Sanatorium' is the word
used in England and all her colonies.
and in France, and the same is true in
Germany when there is a departure
from the vernacular. In the medical
dictionary edited by DR.. Gould of Phil
adelphia, scholarly a physician as
uses English, the following definitions
are given.
"Sanatorium (Sanare. to head. An
establishment for the treatment of the
sick: especially a private hospital
"Sanitarium (Sanitas, health). A
health station. A place or institution
where the conditions are such as
especially to promote health and vigor.
The word is often incorrectly employed
for sanatorium which is a hospital or
place for curing those who are sick.
This distinction, denoting the differ
ent deriyation of the two words is
made by most of the other leXi-
cographers in their recent works. and
il is now observed in this country by
an increasingly large number of the
ynoct careful writer's Restricted to its
proper meaning. we have but little use
for the word 'sanitarium." and if it.
and the faulty, or corrupt forms
.sanatarium" and 'sanitorium" were
dropped, confusion would cease and
the loss to the language would be
slight indeed.
