The publishers Of The Financial Red Book
Of America" have just issued the edition for
1903 a volume larger and more complete than
any hitherto put out. This work is compila-
ton Of the names of those individuals and large
estates throughout the United States that are
believed to be worth 100000 and mora Although
in the main filled with hard and dry facts. the
pages OF the volume reveal something more
than the merely material statement OF Ameri-
cas- wonderful prosperity. About fifteen thou
sand names have been collected as coming
within the requirements OF the work, and these
sre presented in attractive style and In man
ner that makes them convenient for ready and
frequent use The names arranged alpha
betically. divided by States and sub-divided by
cities and towns, and in a statistical sense they
present a suggestive picture OF the Widespread
opulence Of the American people.
Every one knows that large proportion OF
the wealth of this country is concentrated in
the East and naturally in the large communi-
ties Nevertheless It is interesting 10 learn that
according TO the information secured by the
compiler OF The Financial Red Book wealth
is more widely distributed throughout the
United States than is generally imagined. Every

Of the smaller and newer commemorative the
individuals that have been discovered entitled
10 mention are comparatively few in number.
Furthermore. the information presented clearly
demonstrates the existence Of a disposition
among people of wealth to maintain their homes
far distant from the centres Of population. The
minor cities and towns included are numerous
and this showing demonstrates that the posi-
bilities Of acquiring handsome competence are
not limited to the more populous sections and
the more active communities OF the country.
The result OF the painstaking labor involved
in the compilation Of the work is a book Of
great value and interest. and probably as nearly
comprehensive and correct as 1t is possible ever
to make production OF this character. Ger
tainly. the publishers can congratulate them
selves upon having produced a volume Of at
tractive character in its contents. well
one that is abundant in information.

professor at the Pasteur Institute. Paris. and
the translator has lately been elected secretary
Of the British Geological Society. Mr. Metch-
nikoffs studies aimed at throwing light
on the connection between the nerve cells OF the
human brain and what call the mind and

which is, as he puts it, merely "a hypertrophy
Of the phagocytes. white corpuscles, which,
having vanquished and devoured their natural
enemies. the microbes. are obliged TO batten at
last, for lack OF food, upon the nobler organs
OF the human frame" He anticipates that be-
fore long a serum may be discovered designed
TO nourish and entertain these meddlesome
phagocytes. They themselves will not be the
losers. either. for in that the normal period
OF human life is to be about 40 years.
