BOARD OF HEALTH.

John Stevens, NJ. D., Secretary of the
Board of Health, reports as follows:
The number of contagious diseases has
been much greater than for several years.
The several outbreaks of smallpox diph-
iberia and scarlet fever seemed to have
sprung from a separate focus in each in
stance, so far as the city was concerned,
and the disease was fortunately limited to
those first exposed to the original contagion.
The method Of disinfectiOn has been chang
ed from sulphur fumigation to the more
modern and effective use of formaldehyde
While the latter is somewhat more expen-
sive it is prOpOrtiOnately of much greater
service. This year the Board has included
tuberculosis among the diseases to be disin-
fected. The extension of the sewer to Union
and Bay View streets is matter of cOnSid-
erable Importance to the city's health, and
particularly to Bay View street, which dur
ing the summer months was often in bad
sanitary condition. The increased expense
for the past year is due to the increased
number Of infectious diseases we have had,
together with the change in our method of
disinfectiOn. The total number of contag-
spectiveIy were smallpox, 4 of diphtheria,
80 of scarlet fever The number of nui-
sances, 12; of W. ich 10 were corrected.
Number of visits of health officers, exclu-
sive Of smallpox epidemic, 73; number of
buildings disinfected. 36.

Messengers StudiOuS at
The War Department
Languages, Shorthand, Civil Engineering,
and Theology Among Branches Learned
by Those Utilizing Their Leisure Time.

Studying has become a sort of fad
with the messengers. and the man who
is not trying 10 learn something is IN
usual. Where the messengers have no
taste for reading they conduct their
studies in the conversational manner 50
popular with the Greeks.
Two colored messengers have been en-

as to the shape of the earth. one is
not converted to the theory that the
earth Is round. and after six months Of
expounding on the part OF his friend
he is still an advocate of the fat theory
