ALESSONLE LEARNED

The New York Journal has a big litho-
graphic poster With its attack on the
New York Sun and it is posted in the
city of New York, the state of New
York, the city of Worcester, the state
of Massachusetts, and probably all over
the territory that it invades.
The condemnation of the newspapers
of the country touched the Journal at
a tender point. They are making big
talk about circulation and thereby CON
Tossing that it has been struck in
vital point. At any rate the Journal
has not dared resume its former viii
famous practice.
The New York Journal cannot be
crushed as long as the Hearst money
lasts, even if it remains as unpopular
with the general public as it has been
since the assassination. Hearst's mil
lions are too numerous to be exhausted
in few years and the public's memory
is short.
But the lesson may be permanent. If
it is shown that decent regard for the
amenities of life is demanded by the
reading public, the Journal will exhibit
that regard. There is no doubt about
a yellow journal bending to popular
will. That is it's chief object in life
1t lives only by insinuations and cor
ruption, not by good example, not by
preaching unpopular truths.

DIR. SVEN HEDlN IN THIBET


Drs Sven Hedin, the noted Swedish
explorer, has written to King Oscar a
letteraan which he describes one of his
trips In Fhibet, where he has been
travelling two years.
This expedition was over a circle Of
965 miles and took 90 days. 1t was
made through an entirely unknown
country and will prove a valuable ad-
dition to scientific and geographical
knowledge as Sven Hedin writes, IT
mapped it to the very smallest detail
in 173 maps"
His caravan at the start was COM
posed Of six servants, twelve horses,
seven camels ,one mule, and for pro-
vision sixteen sheep. There returned
only five servants, four camels, three
horses and the one mule The man
who was lost was Sven Hedin's Afghan
yak hunter, who died after a two
weeks illness.
Privation and fatigue carried off the
animals, though some of the sheep
were killed by wolves. The party was
for the whole time at an altitude of
more than $1,000 feet above the sea
level. The ratification of the air
troubled the animals.

snow, were not the least of the diff

regions, which are as high as seventeen

at the point Of falling for want OF
breath. The minimum temperature

TUESDAY. OCTOBER Is, 1901
TO STUDY YELLOW FEVER

All medical men are not quite ready
TO accept the conclusions reached by
the United States Armys Commission
relative to yellow fever. 1.-The atti-
tude of medical men in the United
States says the Medical Record, with
regard to the emphatic assertion of the
United States Army's Commission, that
the mosquito stegomyia fasciata is the
sole agency whereby yellow fever can
be conveyed to the human race has
has been distinguished for the most
part by judicious impartiality."
While perhaps a majority have ac-
cepted the findings of the commission
some investigators are asserting that
certain questions yet remain to be an
swered. Among the conservatives are
superintendent Wyman and the
members of the United States Marine
Hospital Service.
The surgeon-general has organized
in connection with the Marine Hospi
tai Service, which has been assiduous
in its Investigations relative to the
commissions report, a yellow fever in
stitute in order that the study of the
disease may be carried on systemati-
cally The members of the institute
will be the medical officers of the Ma
rine Hospital Service and others who
are known to be emf ~ ntly fitted for
the work in hand, There will be four
divisions, each under the direction of
one of the medical officers on duty in
the Marine Hospital Service Bureau.
There will be an executive board com
posed of the bureau officers, the direc-
tor of the hygienic laboratory, the
encouragement, and a secretary. This
board will have the general oversight
of the Investigations.
One section of the institute will
study the history and statistics of yell
low fever; another section will look for
the cause of the disease; the third sec
ton will devote its research to the
transmission of the disease, and sec
ton four will consider quarantine and
treatment.
The chief interest centres in the sub
ject of transmission, which involves
numerous important questions. Effort
will be made to ascertain whether any
mosquito other than the one named
by the commission can transmit the
disease; whether the progeny of an in
fected mosquito is also infected
whether a mosquito can become infect
ed by any other means than by suck
ing the blood of a yellow fever pa
tient; whether the mosquito is the only
medium by which the disease can be
transmitted, etc.
The nature of the work planned
shows that in the minds of those who
are undertaking it need is felt of veri-
fication of the positive declarations OF
the commission. The matter is one OF
such Importance that too great care
cannot be taken in pursuing the inves-
tigation. If the institute finds that the
commission was right in attributing
the transmission of yellow fever solely
to the mosquito stegomyia fasciata the
question Of prevention becomes par
TALLY tangible.
