Speeches With and Without Notes.
Two Occasions Which Noted Orators Have Acquitted
Themselves Well Although Obliged TO Do Without 7
Their Carefully Prepared Periods and Sentences,

Lord ROsebery, on arriving at Ply
mouth last Saturday by the 1920 train
to address mass meeting in the even
ing, found that he had left the notes
of his speech in London, says the Lon
don Saturday Review. He had about
three hours at the hotel in which to
collect his thoughts, assuming that he
was left alone by the local magnates,
and in which the notes might arrive,
dispatched 'post-post-haste" by the
faithful secretary. We gather from
what Lord Rosebery said that the
notes did not arrive, and we must
suppose that he is above the petty
fibbing of the ordinary M. p, who as
sures you at a political banquet that
he is down for some toast, he doesn't
know which, or what he will say
at the very moment that he is trying
to convey his speech from his pocket
to his head. In the circumstances, so
far as the mere speaking went, Lord
Rosebery did not do badly, for there
are few things more disconcerting,
even to a mature and experienced
speaker-and Lord Rosebery will not
mind our telling the public that he is

find you have left your notes at home.

After the cars were filled with
grumblers and had started forward,
some of the mouthy ones began to ex-
press sentiments. First thing you
know some NUT will have his face
pushed in.'' said one galoot, referring
to the MAN who had ordered the cars
and who stood within a few feet of
him. 1t looked as if the crowd was in
clined to resent the MANS interfer-
ence in its behalf. Evidently he
thought so, for he broke out in a pas
sion of sweeping invective. mo won

dump you out at Barren Island, where
you belong. You call yourselves men.
Bah. You haven't got the courage
of sparrows nor the respectability of
rats. You are worthless truck I've
been fighting for you right along; now
I'll drop you" Much more he said.

parties which performed the enormous
work of tracing a route for the rail-
road through the mountain wilds of
Central and South America carried
out their mission at cost of $28S. 900.
of which SPAS 900 was contributed by
the United States
The small remainder was supplied
by the South American republics in
terested, excepting Argentina, which
declined to contribute to the expense
of the preliminary survey, but prom
ised to connect her railroad system
with the proposed trunk line at her
northern frontier. This means that
she will extend her railroad between
Buenos Ayres and Jujuy to the border
of Bolivia.
No doubt seems to be felt in finan-
cial and commercial circles that this
great enterprise would be large fac
tor in developing for their mutual
benefit the vast potentialities of the
Americas. The project has the APP
proval OF all the governments con-
cerned, and it was Endorsed by the
two Pan-American congresses, the
second of which appointed perma-
nent committee, with headquarters in

A municipal hospital for the treat
ment of consumptives has been pro-
posed by the committee on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis of the Charity
Organization society, and plans for
such an institution have been submit
ted to the Board of Health of New
York. According to the specifications,
the sanatorium proposed would cost
something over 100000, but physi-
clans who have studied the problems
of tuberculosis believe that it would
mem a saving of more than that
amount each year. The loss is com
puted, of course, economically.
DR.. Herman M. Biggs, head of the
pathological department of the Board
of Health, reports from statistics that
the deaths from tuberculosis in the
whole of New York city are about TO-,
600 each year. He says that it may be
conservatively estimated that each hui
man life at the average age at which
tubercular deaths occur is worth to
the municipality $1,000. The cost of
each life at~this age is usually more

than that. But this gives a total value
to the lives lost annually of SIS, oO0,-
GEO.
Considering these facts, and what
their Investigations have shown them
that the spread of consumption in
New York city continues in spite of
their thorough work to check 1.-THE
committee of the Charity Organization
society is firmly convinced that the
time has come when steps should be
taken for the erection of a municipal
sanatorium for the treatment of tuber-
culosis. The need arises from the duty
to provide necessary care for those
who have the disease and necessary
protection for those who do not have
it but are exposed to it by the care
lessness of patients.
The plans provide for a combination
of tents and pavilions to be erected
near the city. The building and tents
together will furnish accommodation
for about 500 patients. The sanatorium
will thus care for more patients than
any institution of it's kind in existence,
and according to careful estimate the
annual per capita cost will be less.
1t is the opinion of physicians gener-
ally that no specific method for curing
pulmonary tuberculosis or consump-
ton is known. In fact, the committee
on the prevention of tuberculosis of
the Charity Organization society,
whose members include some thirty of
the best known and most reputable
medical men and women of New York
city, has issued a circular in bold-faced
type notifying the public that there is
no justification, in the opinion of the
committee, for the extrayagant claims
of many so-called specific methods and
special methods for the cure of tuber-
culosis, which have been and are be-
ing exploited and widely advertised.
II is now conceded by medical men
that tuberculosis is not contagious or
infectious as are smallpox and yellow
fever The main agency by which the
disease is communicated is the spu-
tum. 1t will be one of the principal
purposes of the municipal sanatarium
therefore, to educate. There will be
provided, of course, physicians, nurses.
and attendants as for an ordinary hos
pital, but inasmuch as slight reliance
is to be placed on methods, a main
part of their duties will be to instruct
the patients as to how to take care of
themselves
The general plan for the institution
in semi-circle- Each pavilion is to
be fitted up with private rooms for pa
tients, and at the southern end of each
pavilion is to be a solarium. AS much
dependence will be placed on fresh air
the patients will be required to spend
much of their time out of doors. al
though the pavilions themselves will
be open and well ventilated There
viii be number of recreation parks
In connection with the general hos
pital il is proposed to have a village of
H. tents. in which certain patients
shall live through all seasons OF the
year The tents are to be arranged in
streets, with wide spaces and beautiful
landscape effects. and with a recrea-
ton park conveniently located At the
end OF each block of tents will be
placed a toilet and bath building for
