"Expectorate" and "Spit.~
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine
Commissioner Lererle has received letter.
Directing to the use of the word spit" in
the ordinances. and advising the word ex-
pectorate." When President Roosevelt was
police commissioner he strenuousIy urged
the use OF spit" and called 'expectorate"
"a vile word One must side with the
President In this matter in a general way.
although 1t might be permissible to add
that etymologicalIy speaking "sputum" and
expectoration" may designate two differ

though this Is not the question in mind
when framing the ordinances The san ia
rum does not aim at a differentiation Peo-
spre" instead of sweat" That some Off
Gals do find distinction where others do
not is shown by the fact that In an east
ern city the following notice is displayed
In the street cars: Passengers must not
expectorate nor spit on the floor of this
car" "Expectorate" is morbid alike In a
medical, a philologic and a social sense
but no charge can be made by philology
against spit" According to the editor Of
Literary Notes of the British Medical
journal the only advantage "expectorate''
can claim is that IT once melted a good
pun: Some one speaking to a lady of a
friend of whom 1t might have been said
that he had no manners and his customs
were beastly. gave an example that he
would not hesitate to eXpec'orate in her
presence. She at once replied Then he

REMARKABLE AoUEDUcr.
In Australia to Be 1913 Miles Long an.
Will Cost $40, 900, 900.
From the Philadelphia Record.

from the Philadelphia Record.
For many years the great gold fields of
the famous Coo1gardie mining district of
western Australia has been suffering seri-
ously from the lack of an adequate water
supply. 1t was by no means an uncommon
occurrence to pay as much as seventy-five
cents for gallon Of drinking water. Hotel
keepers in many towns and villages were
wont to guard more jealousy the manner
in which the customer helped himself to
the water than 70 the whisky bottle. Even
the richest mine owners in Coolgardie were
not able to take a bath. This necessity
for procuring an adequate and permanent
water supply had forced itself so strongly
upon the attention of the government that
finally. after many preliminaries. the gov
eminent decided to accept and carry out
plan of the engineer in chief Of the colony
for a daily supply of 100000 gallons of
water. In July. 1889, the report was pre-
scented to parliament with a bill authoriz-
ing the raising of loan of $165O0,OOO for
the scheme. The plan was finally adopted
started in 1898. The following figures will
give an idea of the magnitude Of the huge
enterprise.
According to the report accepted and
the work carried out a pipe line had to be
constructed over a total length of no less
than 1913 miles. The pipes are of steel and
have a diameter of thirty inches. The We
locity of the water is 2. 124 feet per second.
while the weight of water to be raised per
day is 25,0OO tons. The horse power of the
engines to carry out this work is 6.1s7 and
the quantity of water to be pumped per
day Of twenty-four hours has been fixed
at $500, 600 gallons One Of the reservoirs
the Helena reservoir-cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $2,7OO.OO0 The cost of the pipes
alone was nearly 81 zoe. 900.
The whole undertaking Is now nearing
completion, and It is hoped that within
month or so the Coolgardie gold fields will
be provided With an abundant supply Of
water. which in all probability will give a
new impetus TO the important mining in
dustry in that secfion Of Australia.

Patient and Physician.
!, the Springfield Republican.

The Massachusetts Medical Society Is
moving to secure legislation for the protec-
ton of the confidential relations between
physician and patient. The lawyer and
clergyman now have the protection Of the
law for their professional secrets against
the questions Of examining counsel and the
argument is that the consultation and con-
fdential conference between the doctor and
the patient which the law does not protect.
should be held equally sacred in the courts.
When called into court as witnesses the re-
spect in which condolences given to the two
ol,,er professional men are held falls away
from the doctor. He can be forced to re-
veal that which has been given to him I'M
der pledge of secrecy and this Is revolving
to his sense of honor. Hence the protest
and appeal which comes from the State
Medical Society. eL
