An Important Discovery RepOrtei
by a French Physician.
In France Dr.. Koche has discovered
that the presence Of lime in the soil or
in the water helps to exterminate ma
laria, and 1t is a curious illustration Of
the interdepeldence of widely different
industries that. this medico scientific
discovery was first made in connection
with experiments in manuring., This
fact is particularly interesting to adVo-
Gates, in season and out Of season. of
adding to the fertility Of the soil by the
judfcious use Of manures. The dis
appearance of marsh malaria from
Puisaye after lime had been used In
the district as a fertilizer led to in
yestigations which are still being car
ried on, and which reasonably point
to the probability that In lime very
effective agent has been found to
neutralize the spread Of malaria.
j. Another medical man. Dr.. Grellet.
has taken up the suggestion. and he
has written to the Revue Hygiene
that the lining Of the soil for agricul-
tural purposes in various provinces In
France which were more or less affect
ed BY malaria has resulted il the re-
duction OF malaria cases almost in pro-
portion to the quantity OF lime used.
It is for experts to say whether his

Swelling the Pension Rolls.

In speaking of the work of the PEN
sion Bureau in the eleven months of
the current fiscal year, Commissioner
Evans says that the number of names
added to the pension roll during that
period was AZ, 800 and that ut the end
of the year there would shown a net
gain in the number of pensioners. OF
the pensions granted, 35,3OS were on
account of services in the civil war.
366 for Mexican, Indian and war of
1912, and B, 595 for services in the war
with Spain. In addition, 4, 100 names
which had been dropped or suspended
for various causes were restored to the
rolls. For increases, reratings aud ac-
crued pensions, so, $50 certificates were
issued, making the total number of
certificates issued in the eleven months
94,O74. The number of claims filed on
occount of the Spanish war is 1854.
-Four years ago, at the beginning of
Commissioner Evans's term, the adju-
dication OF original pensions was from
20 to 30 months in arresrs. He pre-
diets that at the close of the fiscal year,
June 80, the work will be up-to- date,
SO that just as soon as the evidence in
a claim is completed it will go from the
pending files for adjudication.
