York sanitary conference resolved that tu-
berculOsis is an acute infectious disease
while the Chicago conference positively le-
MED that it is anything of the kind Inc
money cost to mankind of obeying the IN
functions of the sanitarians is appalling,
and it is far from consoling TO find that
the principles of sanitary science are mere
unstable opinions.
Further recent evidence of the unscien-
tific character of sanitary science and the
lack of accuracy in its conclusions come
from Chicago. Years ago the sanitary en-
gineer located the public water intake on
the direct line of the stream OF sewage
which flowed from the mouth of the river,
and naturally sewage flowed through the
water pipes. To correct this the. sanitarians
advised and planned a drainage canal which
was completed at a cost to the city or S4O,-
0O0, 900. Now a sanitary expert, DIR. HEX
toen, has informed the Chicago Medical
Society that the drainage canal is "a stu
pendous sanitary blunder." That fact had
been obvious for some time. There is an
epidemic of typhoid fever in the city, and
daily examinations of the public water
show the presence of the colon bacillus Of
that malady. The children are required to
carry to school for their own use water
which has been boiled. The health officers
report that it win be necessary to make
another drainage canal or something.
''since no system of filtration Will purify
water which contains typhoid germs"
This is cheerful news for Philadelphia,
which is expanding millions on system
of filtration.
of sanitary science is the attitude of the
Chicago sanitary officials respecting the
employment of school teachers. Recently
the Board of Education was surprised to
receive from the Board of Health the sug-
gestion that applicants for teachers posi-
tions should be weighed, like dressed hogs,
before being engaged. Persons who are
neither bulky nor tall should be rejected,
the public health experts urge. These sani-
tarians consider Ii essential to the nervous
system of a child that the teacher should
be impressive and restful, and hold that
small men and women are disposed to be
fidgety- and are lacking in the power to
inspire fear and respect. Hence, applicants
should be both weighed and measured (as
to height, minimum being fixed as to
each test. Also, persons with valvular dis
ease of the heart should be rejected. Not
being sanitarians, the members of the
School Board have decided to learn whether
the tall and heavy teachers maintain bet
ter discipline than do the short and light
teachers, and whether the pupils of the
latter show more evidences of nervous
wear and tear than do the pupils of the
former. 1t is so much easier to take a
thing for granted and TO affirm II boldly
than to make thorough investigation that
the sanitarians wonder at the School
Board.

SNAKES AND GINSENG.

Baltimore American.
1t is estimated that half-hundred people
in Clinton, Cameron and Potter counties
are making from 81 TO 50 a day gathering
rattlesnake oil and ginseng root. The two
vocations can readily be followed at the

that where ginseng grows there one invari-
ably finds rattlesnakes.

The rattlesnake oil business has come
into prominence during the past few years,
and it is doubtful whether the calling will

of the danger that attends il. 1t Is more
natural for ginseng hunters to take to the
business of snake-catching than anybody
else for they run across a half-dozen rat

Lord Charles Beresford. who is at the

fighters Of the world. yet he has no heart
