COST OF THE WHITE PLAGUE,
Tuberculosis Causes 10000 Deaths
and Loss of Millions Yearly.

Tuberculosis Causes 10000 Deaths
and Loss of Millions Yearly.
tuberculosis causes annually more
than 10000 deaths In the United
States at the average age of 80 years.
At this age the normal after-lifetime is
about 80 years, SO that the real loss
Of life covered, measured In time, Is
represented by 100000 years per an
mum. II we assume that the net value
Of year of human life after the age
Of IS years is at least $50, the real
loss to the nation resulting from the
disease Ia large proportion Of which
is known to be needless) may be esti-
mated at S24O, 100000 per annum.
These astounding and almost incom
prehensible figures are far from being
an exaggeration, but let US assume
that only one-half Of this mortality is
preventable, and we have a net posi-
BILE saving to the nation Of $120.00O,0 900
per annum. This estimate does not
take into account the social, moral and
sentimental value of at least 100000
lives, which, under different conditions,

many years.
The mortality from tuberculosis is,
therefore, a problem compared with
which all other social problems of a
medical character sink into insignia
canoe, and 1t is safe to say that the
possible prevention Of large portion
Of the mortality from this disease is
Justly deserving of the solicitude. the
active personal interest and liberal pc
cuniary support of all who have the
real welfare of the people Of this ma
ton at heart.
Biggs estimates that New York City
sustains an annual economic loss of
S23, 100000, and that the nation at
large must sustain an annual loss Of
$3.50 100000 because of tuberculosis.
There are nearly 100000 deaths from
consumption In New York City. Seven
thousand persons died in Illinois In
1908. half of them between the ages of
20 and 80 years, while the estimated
loss to the State alone, because OF this
disease, was S36,000.O00. and the med
ical authorities Of that State have
found that consumption is responsible
for more deaths than typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, all forms OF
bronchitis, influenza, measles and
smallpox combined.-New York Med
ical Journal.

The average height of man is found
by A Dastre to have continued the
same for thousands Of years, as shown
In primitive man, prehistoric man, and
historic man. The great size of anci-
ent man is imaginary.
Several uranium minerals have
shown radium directly proportional in

that radium is formed by the breaking
down of the uranium atom.
One Of the most singular Of the many
curious fossils yielded by the famous
opal fields at White Cliffs, N. s. W.,
is an opalizei shark. 1t is 81a feet
long and eighteen inches in greatest
circumference and is encircled from
tip to tip with thin veins of purple
opal.
Experimenting on the influence Of
metal containers on the fermentation
Of liquids, Leopold Nathan has shown
that German silver, copper, zinc, brass
and bronze have a decidedly strong
inhibitory effect, while tin and lead
have moderate action. Polished iron,
silver, gold, polished tin. aluminium,
nickel, as well as celluloid, glass and
hard rubber, have little or no effect
The smoothness OF the surface OF
metals seems to have decided infiu-
ence.
Sir William Crookes has discovered

to improve the tint OF off-color dia-
monds. A yellowish diamond, after
being enclosed for seventy eight days
In tube Of radium bromide, was en-
tirely freed from its Objectionable
color. At first its surface was dulled
with film of graphite, but this dis
appeared in an acid bath, and the dia-
mond came out bright and transparent,
with Its color changed to a pale blue
green. Sir William Crooks thinks the
effect is due to an internal chemical
change, and suggests that the discov-

1t has generally been assumed that
the difficulty in respiration experienced
by aeronauts and Observation-Disclosures
was due to the diminished supply OF

been employed to supply the needed

the diminished supply of carbon dioXid

Medical Students Scheme That Fai1e,
to Work.

Medical Students Scheme That Failed
to Work.
A Maine medical student, who has
been visiting in Auburn. tells this
grewsome but not uninteresting story
about miracles:
Il have been at work." said he, sin
one Of the largest city hospitals dur
ing the past summer, and there were
large number Of students who, like
myself, were trying to get practical
experience in surgery and other
branches of the medical profession.
Among the younger fellows was a
student apparently without any
nerves. He could stand up before the
most trying operation from the very
first without the culver of a muscle.
We all decided that he was destined
for greatness by the short road. In
the meantime one of the leaders
among the students there is always
leader, you know got a crowd of
us together and held a council of war.
Now, you say young s." hasn't any
nerves, said he; what do you say
about making testT
ut was agreed In a few moments
and the arrangements were made on
the spot. Our young nerveless friend
was to take his turn at q difficult
operation that very evening. Accord
lngly, just before the appointed time
one Of the bravest Of our set started
for the operating room. All was dark
and still as he crept under the operat-
ing table upon which the dead body
lay. 1t should be explained that a
wire had been connected with the
right arm of the dead body and led
down under the table within easy
reach of the concealed man. Pretty
soon, after what must have been an
interminable wait for the man under
the table, our nerveless young master
surgeon came into the room and be-
gan his work. All at once our leader
pulled the wire, the arm shot up
straight into the air about two feet.
Our friend glanced up a moment put
it down and continued his work as if
nothing had happened. After another
half minute our leader pulled the wire
again. Again the arm shot up as be
fore and again our student friend put
1t down in place with the same Gil
of perfect unconcern while he resumed
his work as before. Now, we began
} to get impatient and so did our leader
under the table. Next time he gave
the wire a tug that nearly parted II
from its fastenings, and this time the
arm shot straight over the bent head
Of the young operator and stayed
! there like an avenging spirit. Dun
friend looked up from his work, took
, hold Of the hand, put the arm bach
in its place and with the air Of one
completely absorbed In his work
murmured:

WeIl-AcQuainted.

Two women were sitting on the pi-
azza Of the beach hotel at the time
when all those who bathed daily in the
sea were struggling along the sandy
road in front OF the house. There
goes Mrs. Granger" said one of the
women on the piazza, as stout, pleas
ant-faced person passed by without a
glance toward the hotel.
"Myl 1 should think she'd have
lengthwise stripes since she's taken on
so much flesh, shouldn't you? But
she's real good-natured. think those
fat folks are apt to be, and l don't
know as they really mind the heat
any more, either. She doesn't. She
says she'd rather have hot weather
than cold, anyway; the cold sets her
rheumatism going"
That's an awful trying thing, rheu-
matism is" said the other woman,
sympathetically
"Well, she's expected 1t all her life,
for she comes of a rheumatic family,
said Mrs. Changers friend. Ethel,
that's her youngest daughter, has had
twinges already; but she's engaged to
Californian, so she may escape, 20
ing to a warm climate, that way.
guess Tom, that's the son, won't ever
have it, for he never keeps still long
enough to get an ounce of flesh on
him. Tall, thought He's just running
to inches; springs up like n weed Only
fifteen, and he can't wear his fathers
trousers or coats. Mr.. Granger is sort
of short, like all his family; but hC
has a brother built just as Toms go
ing to be. He's the one whose wife
has all her white skirts made hand
tucked Now did you ever? In thes'
days, when machines do such lovely
work.
"No. 1 never did" said the listener
Il didn't know you knew them Sc
well-why, you're real intimate, aren'
YOU? The sun was in her eyes so sh'
couldn't have told who was sittin;
here If she'd looked"
well, don't know as she'd hav'
recognized me right off. IL she ha'

sumo she would say the same. Tn

Kentucky's Big Mosquitoes.

Big gallinipper mosquitoes that seem
to have can openers in place OF sting
ers are attacking chickens in the East
End, and they are said already to have
killed twenty-five fowls owned by Mrs.
Bridget Owens, Of Fulton street All
of the chickens were attacked while
roasting The mosquitoes seem to de
scend toward the earth from high in
the air early in the evening or after
darkness and attack animals of all
kinds 1t is thought that they breed
in low, marshy places. but fly high

The Koreans, White Dress.

AS the Koreans are obliged to dress
in white for three years for every case
Of death and as once three kings died
within ten years. by which deaths
mourning was imposed on the whole
nation, the majority of people chose
rather to dress continually in white in
order to avoid the great expense In
volved by repeated change Of clothing.
The women make these garments, and
every time they have to be washed
they are entirely taken to pieces and
beaten for hours with a wooden pad
die In order TO obtain the metallic gloss
which is considered particularly beau
tiful.

When the presidential struggle be-
tween Clay and Jackson was at its
height it is related that band Of emil
grants from Kentucky and the then
other Western States commenced to
settle on the north side of the Missouri
River and called their county Clay
and the county seat Liberty.
At the same time another lot Of emf
grants from Virginia and other South
ern States pitched their tents on the
south side of the Big Muddy and
called their county Jackson and the
capital Independence. And so it re-
mains to this day. Clay stood for lib
erty and Jackson for Independence

Newport News, Va, July ~, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ILL
ness of fever, had a severe attack of
1nfammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which was unable to leave my
room for several months. 1 was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of 1inaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time was not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading paper saw an advertisement
of s. S. S. for Rheumatism. / decided
to give it trial, which 1 did at once.
After had taken three bottles I felt a
great deal better, and still continued
to take 1t regularly until was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerful1y recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.
