So far as the United States is con-
cerned. Chicago leads all ports except
New York in tonnage, and leads even
that port in the number of arrivals and
clearances, the annual report showing
1907 for Chicago, and 1903 for New
York. 1t handles more than three
times the tonnage of Boston, almost
four times the tonnage of Philadelphia,
and more than four times the tonnage
of Baltimore. In the thirty years since
1870 this tonnage has more than
quadrupled, but it is singular fact
that the annual total of arrivals and
c,earances has decreased by nearly
5000, due, of course, to the increase in
the size of vessels. Fewer boats are
used than formerly, but they carry
much more, and this has modified what
is known as ''the bridge nuisance
Bridges are not opened so frequently,
nor are they kept open so long.

certained that 40 per cent of the pupils
were afflicted with the disease. An ocu-
list who was engaged by the board oi
health to study conditions and suggest
remedies has written the following ar
ticle for this paper. giving the symp-
toms by which the disease may be rec
ognized and the treatment ii should re-
ceive. Now that the children are going
back to school and are likely to be ex-
posed to trachoma. 1t behooves their
parents TO be extremely yigilant in
watching their eyes and in taking
prompt measures to arrest the disease
