Medical Resear 3h.

Two years ago a grandson of John D. Rockefeller, familiarity called Jack" died cf some form of summer complaint, and within a week after his death MT. Rockefeller offered a fund of 800 eco for investigation into diseases of children. Dr. William H. Welch of New York was asked to conduct the in luiry, which has been carried on this summer at the Thomas Wilson sanitG- rum for children at Mount Wilson, Baltimore county, Md.
 The search for the germ 0: the dis ease has been pursued by two stuaents. Charles W. Duval Of Annapolis, and Viotcr F.. Bassett of AledC, IT., and has been crowned with complete sue cess. Mr. Bassett discovered tEe germ and MT. Duval has isolated it. The discovery has been verified by Dr. WelCh and Dr. James H. M. Knox. In forty-two cases out Of fifty the organ ism isolated by Duval was found. It is nearly identical with that which pro duces dysentery in adults. A search will now be made for a method Of treatment by which the operations of this germ can be antagonized.
 The discovery and isolation of spe- cific germs as the causes respectively of the diseases from which mankind suffers are making amazing progress. These are necessary steps in the way Of finding specific remedies, and there Is reason to believe that in q lew years many Of the most destructive maladies will be curbed and conquered through the researches of bacterlologists. MT. Rockefeller's generous appropriation, inspired by sorrow over the loss of a grandchild was made in the spirit of the true humanitarian and philanthro- pist. It could not give him and his children back the precious life which was sacrificed to the limitations of cur rent medical Knowledge, but it may he the means in the future Cf saving many lives as dear to other parents as Jack" was to his parents and grand parents.-RoCh hester Democrat and Chronicle

Tn. Cuban President.

Cubas president, Tomas Estrada Palma, is proving himself a stronger man that he was generally considered. The future welfare of Cuba depends so much upon the developments of the next few months, and especially upon the success of the new government in maintaining order until the arrival of better times through better trade re- lations with the United States, that 1t is interesting to note the current proofs of President Palma's fitness for his high position. The dispatches from Havana make it clear that he has proved himself a more astute politician, although politics has never been his profession, than the Cuban senators and congressman who have tried sev- into pitfalls.
 Just now they are trying to induce the chief executive to declare with which political party he wishes to be elected to the presidency by a fusion of the nationalists and republicans; not as a member of either party, but be- cause of his clean record. his honesty and intelligence It is safe to say that if he believed that he would be ex- pected to join in the political strife that has developed. President Palma would never have left his home at Central Valley, N. Y. His only thought was in the reconstruction of the island, and he depended in this work on the support of every Cuban regardless of political affiliation. His experience of a little less than four months has greatly dis appointed him. It is regarded as almost certain, though. that he will emerge with flying colors. As for aligning him. self with one or the other of the parties the President said, few days ago:
 There do not exist here two de- fined political parties; there is not one doctrine which separates two powerful groups. as in the United States, for ex- ample. where the essential point is pro- tecticnism
 
 cred in the house of congress the na- tionalists are seen voting with the re- publicans. those on one side support ing those on the other. What ground, then, do they have to urge that I should enter into a pact with any cer- tain element?
 Tt is impossible for a man to govern with a party which cannot have his views, because it has the greatest strength; nor does any one wish me to. even those who do not think as I do.
 ''The republic is newly born, it's citi- zens have had no great experience; nevertheless, you may see that congress has not been precipitate in any resolu- tion. and that it has had good aims and been just. I cannot complain; to say any other thing would be false.
 'I criticised the constitution when it was voted because I was not in full ac- cord with its spirit of federal union. But now the confidence of the people l govern, once deposited in me, admin ister in accordance with the constitu- tion, and I abide by it and not by the parties. With the constitution it is necessary to consolidate the republic And we will consolidate it, believe me. I have so much faith in it that I see 1t in my mind. prosperous, happy and vigorous"
 This statement from President Palma will probably put an end to the efforts to force him into a declaration of his political preferences.

Admiral Higginson, in his report to the navy department, highly praises his officers for their efficiency as ex- hibited during the naval maneuvers, and doubtless all the praise possible for him to bestow is deserved We have yet to hear. however, of any popu- lar clamor for departmental praise Of Admiral Higginson and Commander Pillsbury for the ridiculous spectacle of Pillsbury's surrender to Higgin- son. It is difficult for a western land lubber to see the necessity of such q rehearsal as that of one gallant Ameri- can officer climbing over the side of the imaginary conquering ship and offer ing his sword abjectly to the imaginary conqueror. The fewer lessons our off cers have in the fine points and eti- quette of surrendering, the better it will be for the service, we guess.

An Englishman, Stanley Spencer, two days ago made the best of all records with a dirigible balloon. He succeed ed in travelling thirty miles, driving his machine to the different points of the compass as he willed, at about fifteen miles an hour. This is far better than anything Santos-Dumont has yet done. but it by no means follows that the problem of navigating the air has been solved. Indeed. it is a misnomer to apply the name flying to the contrivances of Santos-Dumont or Spencer. Each of these inventors de- bends upon the inflated gas bag for levitation, and so long as reliance is had upon the balloon principle the most that can be hoped for is a slowly mov- ing, fairly dirigible balloon.
