TYPHOID FEVER STATISTICS.
Abstract From Health Office Records
for Six Months,

The Commissioners recently received a
suggestion from a citizen that a report on
typhoid fever be prepared and published by
the health office. DR.. Woodward, the
health officer has replied that the depart
ment believes the labor involved in the
preparation Of extended report on the
subject Of typhoid fever with the data at
present on hand would not be justified by
the results to be anticipated therefrom. The
following abstract from the records of the
department, however, may be of interest:
Between July 1 and December 81, 1902,
there were reported to the health depart
ment 1.230 cases of typhoid fever. OF these
156 terminated in death. In twenty five
cases no personal history Of the patient was
obtainable. One hundred and f1fty-four
cases are believed to have been contracted
outside of the District of Columbia, 90 by
direct exposure to other cases and p
through infected milk supplies The best
endeavor of the department failed to dis
close in any considerable number of the re-
manning 94 cases a common exposure to
any ordinary source of typhoid fever other
than the drinking water Potomac river water

FORT BLUNDER.
How 1t Was That Uncle sam Built
1t on British Soil.

1t on British Soil.
Curious indeed is an American fort
which was built on British soil. How
many can guess what fort it is and
where located? The name is Fort
Montgomery, and the location is on an
island near the foot of Lake Champlain.
about half Il mile northeast of Rouse's
Point, n. Y.
A short time ago, when travelling in
that part of the country, l saw this fort
and asked the name of it. "Why. shat
is Fort Blunder," said my informant.
did you never hear of it?' l confessed
ignorance, and he explained ms tiers.
1t seems that after the war Of 1912
the government of the UniteG States
became convinced that the entrance to
Lake Champlain should be guarded by
fort strong enough to engage any
British feet which might attempt to
force an entrance to the lake. and so
Fort Montgomery was constructed at
cost of nearly 100000. 1t was an
immense fOrtiticatiUn for those days
and was arranged for three tiers of
guns.
Just about the time it was completed
the joint surveyors fixing the line be.
tween the United States and Canada
came along and. after doing a good bit
of figuring, announced that Fort Mont
gOmery was on Canadian soil. The
northern boundary of New York state
was the fOrty-ffth parallel, and this
fort was several hundred yardg over
the line. Work on the fort came 10 an
immediate standstill. and the matter
was made the subject of a special
treaty.
1t was decided that in view of the
fact that the United States had not in
tentionally encroached on Canadian soil
the forty parallel should be bent
little out of its course at this point so
as to include the fort. That is why
the fort is called Fort Blunder." II
