Tuberculosis the Greatest Single
Cause OF Deaths I'm New York.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Dr Lederle. of
the Board of Health, to-day reported to
Mayor Low that tuberculosis remains the
greatest single cause of deaths in this city
and one which-in my opinion demands more
attention from the municipal authorities
In the interest Of public health. The num-
ber of persons suffering from tuberculosis
Is variously estimated at from $4,000 to
1000. and many of these are undoubtedly
affecting their associates and thus adding
the time has come when the city of New
York should extend its facilities for the
treatment of tuberculosis" He recon-
mends the erection of a sanatorium on the
tent plan. The deaths from pulmonary

this refuse has been made only within
comparatively few years, but is now
carried on systematically, being more

THE AMPHIBENA.
An Odd South American Bird Tha
Protects the. Ants

Protects the. Ants
Birds are usually considered among
the worst foes Of ants, yet, says the
Detroit Free Press, there is one bird
which Is not only tolerated, but APP
parently welcomed by these insects.
This is the amphibena, a native Of
South America. 1t feeds on certain
larger insects which prey upon ants,
and in return the ants permit the bird
to buId its nest in their hills and
never modest even the helpless young.
In enc of the Chicken islands, off
the coast of New Zealand, a curious
lizard, called the tuatara, and kind
of petrol are found inhabiting the
same. homes and living together in
the most perfect amity.
The lizard is in this ease the ex-
yacatOr. The burrow is only two OF
three feet long. The petrol, however,
occasionally enlarges the chamber
Each builds It's nest upon opposite
sides of the chamber, the lizard al
most invariably choosing the left side
aud the petrol the right.
The petrol is the caterer. 1t brings
IN worms, beetles, fsh and other odds
and ends. and after eating as much as
it wants leaves the remains for it's
companion Oh the opposite side This
is one Of the most remarkable Of all
animal eompanionehips
A similar case, and one that is very
frequently quoted, is that Of the
North American prairie dog, which
frequently shares its home with a
kind. Of small owl. It is, however, now
believed that the owl is not a partic-
ularly welcome intruder, but merely
exists on sufferance in its borrowed
home.
Certainly the rattlesnakes which
often inhabit the same burrows are
not members Of happy family In
fact they live upon their unwilling
hosts. The South African meercat
is also known to share its earth with
the aard-wark or nt-bear, but in thi:
case also it is not certain whether the
two creatures are Of any special as
sistance to one another
The sea cucumbers also give ahomt

colorless. and quite without means o.

"Shall we say that a man is very

young man who takes much interest

sort of discrimination Which word

An answer to this question will settle
the whole probem--a problem re-
Gently raised because Of the increased
tendency to give the preference to i'll.
Personally am very much inclined
to the word sick. Sick is the stronger
word of the two. It's clearer because
less involved in the entanglements
which mark the evolutionary process

state to which it is applied. We OF
course may say that man is very i'll
and still be perfectly understood. Be
cause of the popular and extensive
use of the word no ambiguity attaches
to the expression, He is a very i'll
man. But isn't sick clearer, more ex-
act and more forcible! think so for
many reasons. In the first place, sick
is more restricted in its meaning
Gil has been given an extremely
broad range Its synonymic relation
to the other word is extensive Bad,
poor, wicked, low and other simple
words are synonymically related to
