been QlSmlsSeu. IL mas been con- tinued for the term, pending settle ment according to the terms agreed upon. The case referred to is that of the Territory against Robert Perrin. The suit was for taxes for the last six years, total of $500, including interest. A compromise was affected by the county knocking off the taxes for two years, 1899 and 1900, the claim being made by the defend ants that they were not in pos session of the land during those two years. The land, the San Ignacio del Barbacomori grant, was bought by the Perrins from the original owners, to whom 1t had been granted by the state of Sonora before the territory was acquired by the United States. Being settled upon by home steaders afterward, the United States land office decided in favor of the settlers in 1899. In 1902 the supreme court of the United States reversed the land office, holding that Perrin was the right full owner of the land. It was for the two years intervening between the two decisions that the Perrins refused to pay the tax, on the ground that the land office had deprived them of the land for those two years. The total amount to De paid by the owners in taxes is s4,9o0. Of that, 2,50O will be paid on or before October 20, 1905 and the balance on or before April 20, 1906.

odorous Substances Lose Weight.
A French scientist has submitted TO
the Paris Academic des Sciences some
instructive measurements of the loss
of weight which odorous substances
sustain in giving out their character
istic smells. He determined that a
grain of iodoform lost in an hour one
milllonth part of its weight. At this
rate the substance would lose in one
year $500 millionths or less than one
hundredth part of milligram. There
fore, 1t would require more than ia
years for q single milligram to be
used up in odorous emanatious alone
When one remembers the pungent eff
ficacy of that odor one cannot but be
astounded at the fact. These remark
able figures are, however, far sur
passed in the case of musk, which in
using up a miligram of its substance
for seeming purposes would occupy
something approaching 100000 years.

Out of Door Nurseries.

One of New Yorks most famous
specialists for children has lately
made q plea for roof Fairgrounds.
On one OF the roof Fairgrounds estab-
lished for the use Of the children of
the poor, the average attendance is
5000 per night. Three or four teach
ers maintain order and there are
bands for music and dancing.
In the city the roof can be utilized
fot an outdoor nursery. which will
greatly promote the health and hap
piness of the children. The roof
should be floored over for a certain
space, and partitions built to protect
the children from the wind, and rail-
lngs or fences put UP to keep them
from falling of. Awnings are neces-
sary to protect them from too much
sun and from rain.
Here the children can play nearly
every day, winter or summer. In
these private outdoor nurseries the
mother can keep an eye on the child

sirable conditions and contacts OF the

Breeding Ground for Tuberc uosis.
A New York physician has given a

J ment, naming them rs Ignorance. al
cohol and tuberculosis.
IF | should be asked" he saws
! what conditions are most conducive
/ to the propagation of tuberculosis,
and especially pulmonary consump-
ton, would have to reply: The
conditions that prevail in the old
fashioned tenement houses as they
still exist by the thousand in this
| and other large cities. In these tene.
| ments there are not only far greater
number of consumptives than in the
same area elsewhere, but the proper
ton Is actually greater per number OF
inhabitants. Thus they not only con.
tain countless centers of infection for
old and young, but these dwellings,
with their bad air, darkness and filth
make cure of the disease impossible
and a lingering death for all those in
fected by the germ of tuberculosis a
certainty.
ar any one thinks me an alarmist,
let him glance at the charts prepared
by the tenement house commission.
There he will see that there are
houses in which can be counted as
many as twenty consecutive cases of
tuberculosis during four years. This
number represents. however, only the
cases reported to the board of health.
But how many of the moderately ad-
vanced cases are made known to
either physician or board of health?
| venture to say those not reported
are more numerous than the reported
ones
Darkness, filth and dampness are
favorable to the growth of the bacilli
OF tuberculosis, and these conditions
prevail In the tenements.
THE crowded quarters in which our
tenement population lives facilitates
the propagation of tuberculous dis
eases to truly alarming extent. To
have six and sometimes ten people |
living in three rooms, of which only |
one receives direct light and air, is |
nothing unusual, Should one of the |
members be tuberculous and careless |
