oCULIsTs FOR LONDON SCHOOLS.
Six Experts to Be Appointed by the
Board-Hospital Burdens.

From the London Telegraph.
At a recent meeting of the London school
board, over which Lord Reay presided a
report was presented in which the general
purposes committee recommended the ap-
pointment of six oculists at a cost of 1915
per year. According to the medical officer,
the percentage of school children with
normal vision increased with every year OF
age and standard of advance during school
life, reaching so per cent with standard
seventh. Ten per cent all through school life
had bad vision, and this remained about a
constant proportion. The percentages or
defect appeared to vary more with the So
cial and nutritive conditions of the children,
and with racial popularity than with any
school conditions for school effects from
fine work and poor illumination were more
likely to show themselves in general nerve
strain and unhealthy neurotic nutritional
conditions than in very defective visual
acuity during school life.
The medical officer further stated that
the selection of children whose efficiency in
school is damaged by dirt parasites,
chronic diseases of ears impaired visual
acuity is just beginning. The treatment Of
all these matters is tedious, has to be thor
ough, but is a routine of the most monoto-
nous and embarrassing description The
burden at present falls on the hospitals
and they have not yet adapted themselves
to 1t.
Whether even with time they ever can eff
fciently discharge this public duty is at
least doubtful. The vision examinations
show 10 per cent of the 100000 school chill
dren in London so bad, that detailed in
vestigation and possibly treatment are nee
esSary. An equal number with slighter de-
fects would also benefit by this 1t is found
at hospitals or elsewhere that a few of this
last class on further examinatio come out
normal as regards acuity and may require
no treatment. No amount of reasonable
care can eliminate these in school. Regard
ing vision only, the conclusion is that from
10000 to 10000 children annually in London
ought to have detailed medical examina-
ton. and. if required. treatment If the best
educational results are to be obtained and
their future efficiency as citizens is to be
promoted. After discussion the recon-

MUMMIFIED BY POISON.
Unique Effect of Anthony on Body
Revealed in London Trial.

Revealed in London Trial.
From the London Mall
Expert analysis turned the light of science
strongly upon the Southwark poison case
at the police court in London the other day,
when George Chapman or Severino
Klowsh, the borough publican, was placed
in the dock for the fourteenth time on the
triple murder charge. The little black
books which have figured in SO many trials
were again produced by DR.. Stevenson, the
home office expert, who gave the results of
his searching analysis in connection with
the first of the three women whom the
prisoner is accused Of poisoning Chapman,
with his hair carefully brushed, a new tie
neatly adjusted and wearing his frock coat,
was seated for the first time between a
police constable and a prison warder, the
court 5ailer, as usual. standing by the dock
and giving him fresh supplies of foolscap
for his ever-increaSing mass Of notes.
For the first time. too, Mr.. Arthur Hut
ton appeared counsel for the prisoner
and exposed some of the witnesses to q
raking fire of cross-examnation. DR.. Stew
enson told how he superintended the exhu-
and took some of the earth surrounding the
coffin, analysed it for poison, and found
none, and then dwelt upon the amazing
preservation of the body. After five years
in the grave the head and features were SO
well preserved by the anthony with which
the body had been "saturated' before death
that they were as little altered as though
only buried that day.
1t will be remembered that witnesses had
sworn that Chapman told them that this
particular Mrs. Chapman was a hard
drinker. DR.. Stevenson stated that he
could discover no trace OF this Anti
| mony," said the expert, lis metallic irri-
| tant poison. the effect of which is to cause

There is still another serious objection
to the use of slang 1t tends to limit the

limited vocabulary is almost as inconven-
lent at times as limited purse and it is
far more inelegant. If there was practI-
cally limitless wealth within the reach of
him who was minded to take it. 1t would
argue certain stupidity in any one who
declined to avail himself of the supply. The
same assertion holds true with regard to
him who Is willing to limit his choice of
words. There Is even more to be said than
that. There is limitless wealth of words
ut our disposal. but the most Of us are too
stupid to make use of them.

His Lungs a Source of Revenue.

There is a man in Indiana who has q
pair of lungs that have been worth exactly
$500 a month to him." said H. g. Bronson
of Indianapolis to Star man at the Ra-
leigh this morning. HE is a glassblower
by trade, and is considered the champion of
his state. During the season just closed he
has made on an average of $25 to $50 per
day without in the least straining himself,
This man has been engaged In blowing
large glass cylinders. and he has been
known to average thirty of these in a day.
For this work he got $1.30 per cylinder.
The glassblowers work on an average seven
months per year, so his income was a
pretty good one for laborer. even though
he is skilled one.
