SHOULD BE Of EASY ACCESS.
Health Oficer woodward.. View.


In communication to the District Com
missioners relative to the site for the pro-
posed municipal hospital DR.. VIM. c.
Woodward. the health officer, says a gen.
eral hospital should be located so as to per-
NIT easy access from all parts of the COM
munity which 1t serves, in order TO allow
the transportation of patients suffering
from typhoid fever, &c, to enable physi-
clans to go to and from the hospital for
the purpose of treating patients without
loss of time, and to permit the utilization
of the clinical facilities which such an In
stitution affords.
"A situation in the open country" says
DR.. Woodward. with free circulation of
air around it. but sheltered from the
north and east and raised above the sur
rounding land is most favorable as a
site for a hospital. A clean, porous and
dry soil, not incumbered with vegetation
and protected from impurities with a good
fall for drainage, not receiving or retain
ing the water from any higher ground.
with the ground water permanently at a
low level, or at least at a constant level,
and with the prevailing winds blowing
from no marshes or unwholesome ground,
Will. as a general rule, afford the great
est amount of protection from diseases
of which the climate will permit.
THE amount of land which Ii is neces-
sary to secure for a hospital depends upon
the number of patients to be accommo-
dated. In the open country, when the
site is surrounded only by fields, IL is of
little consequence what be the area of
the land inclosed in the hospital grounds
except for the purpose of preventing en-
croachment, but in towns the impurity of
the air of a hospital will diminish in pro-
portion to its distance from thickly in
habited places, and under these circum-
stances an enlarged area ought to be pro-
vided to counterbalance the unhealthful-
ness of the site
Referring to the proportion of land to
size of hospital building. DR.. Woodward
quotes an authority to the effect that with
a hospital of from 100 to 200 beds GO square
yards per bed may suffice under very ex
ceptional conditions, but with 300 to 400
beds the area should be at least 30 square
yards per patient, and with 800 beds and
upward 40 to 40 square yards per patient
would be required, but IT may be safely laid
down that town site surrounded by
houses it is not admissible to afford in any
hospital less than 30 to 100 square yards
per patient. town site, the authority
quoted declares. should not contain more
than 80 beds per acre, and for fever and
infectious diseases hospitals larger area
should be provided, and the number per
acre should be limited to 35, 40 or. at most,
40 beds per acre.

A VOICE FROM THE TOMB.
Ia What ConEer's Message seems
Like to the EurOncnns

Like to the Europeans.
New York, July 2o.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says. Mr. Con-
gers message to the state department
came like voice from a tomb and star
tied Europe.
One Of the best informed men OF the
veteran military service said that he ac-
cepted the text of Mr. Conger's message
as full and satisfactory proof that the
ministers were alive. When asked how
he could explain the protracted defence
OF the Enclosure protected by a palside
OF moderate height. he asserted that the
military guards had probably seized a
commanding position on the great wall
where they had held the mobs at bay He
also was confident that the ministers and
the women had been transferred by a
secret passage under the wall into the
imperial city and had been hidden in
the palace
Another veteran of the consular service
in China said that while he could not
account for the American minister's re-
puted message he could not comprehend
how Il had been possible for so weak and
indefensible a position as the British en-
bassy enclosure to be held for weeks
against persistent assaults of soldiers
armed with artillery and that he was re-
luctantly forced 70 believe that the min
listers and all refugees had persisted

TEA MARKET INFLUENCED.
An Advance Hns Already Been Made
In the Price


New York July 20.-The trouble in
China is already influencing the wholesale
tea market of this country. Within the
last few days the price of tea has ad-
vanced from 1 to cents a pound and still
further increases seem likely, inasmuch
as with the continuance OF the difficulties
in China it will cost more to import.
When the outbreak began it was computed
that there were about Is, 000. 900 y unds
OF tea in this country. That stock is
being rapidly bought up by retailers and
should the hostilities extend to the tea
growing districts a rapid rise in the price
OF the commodity will result. The great
tea producing centers OF China, however
are not yet threats I'd with the strife in
which the Boxers are engaged. Even
should the murderous movement extend
to the fields whence come most of the
teas which are used in this country, it
would not be affected for many months.
Should the Boxers get so far south as
the Yank Use Kiang valley and block
the Yank Use Kiang river, by means OF
which at least so per cent of the tea
grown in China is carried to the seaports
consumers Of tea will have to pay en-
siderahly more for their favorite beverage
than now.
