 The comparatively high American death rate for tuberculosis is explained by the fact that in the, United States a sanitarium is retained in service for long periods, while in other armies they, are promptly discharged. The high admission rate is no doubt due to the present defective system of medical examination of recruits. The undue prevalence of typhoid fever in the army is partly expiainable for its undue prevalence in the civil communi- ties where the troops are stationed. as result of general failure to purify water and sewage In American munich palities. Notable is the absence of smallpox in the Prussian, Bavarian and Dutch armies. More care in vaccina- tion would give like results in other ssrvices.'

SEWAGE IN THE LONG AGO.
Bnbylonians Knew How to Build Em.

ctent DFainS.
 Scientific American.
 The counterpart of many of our so- called modern improvements" are found among the vestages of ancient civilizations, as Is demonstrated by a paper of Professor Edgar James Banks. field director of the Babylonian expedition of the University of Chi cago. Professor Banks describes system of drainage discovered in the ancient city of Bismya, which flourish ed in -Baoylonian times, 4,50O years ago, on the aluvian plain of the Meso- potamian desert. He says:
 Babylonia Is perfectly level. In most places there is a crust of hard clay upon the surface, baked by the hot sun of summer times. so hard that it resembles stone Beneath the crust. which at Bismya Is seldom more than four feet in thickness, and in places entirely lacking, Is loose caving sand reaching to an unkonwn depth.
 Drainage in such country might tax the ingenuity of the modern build err, In constructing house the an- cinet Sumerian of more than 5000 years ago first dug hole Into the sand to a considerable depth. From the bottom he built a vertical drain of large, cylindrical terra-cotta sections, each of which Is provided with grooyed flanges to receive ,he one above. The sections of one drain were 4S centi- meters in diameter and 60 in height

A stormy session of the Holston
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, IN session at Bristol,

ing Saturday afternoon by well
known minister Of the conference
cpenly denouncIng as false certain
statements made by Evangelist George

which he sc&thingly arraigned q prom
met bishop OF the church and his cab
met.
Rev. Mr.. Stuart WIS expressing his
sentiment Of ministers who are ad-
dicted to tho tobacco habit, and re-
ferred to The bishop and his cabinet
having occupied room at home
where they were recently entertained.
and the lady of the house, showing
him the room after they had gone,
which, he said, was in such bad
condition from the use Of tobacco that
it was necessary to take the carpets
up and repaper the room.
1.-THE room looked as though it had
been occupied by hogs rather than
men. and I tell you, brethren, this is
a disgrace to the church and your
calling. This lady told me she would
never entertain another bishop and
his conference, and I don't blame
her,
He threw hot shot into the use of
the leading stimulant at soda foun-
tains as a beverage, which, he says,
is a curse to our young men and
is debauching their mental and moral
natures, besides undermining their
health and rendering them unfit for
the responsible positions of life.
He then offered a resolution recon-
mending the prohibition party in Ten
nessee for temperance legislation,
which was finally passed by a major
ity Of three votes.
The address OF Rev. Stuart provok-
ed a heated reply from Bishop Hoss,
of Nashville, who was presiding.
Rising to his feet in a passionate
speech, the bishop resented the re-
marks of Rev. Stuart on a bishop
Of the church, and he said he was
clean himself and a gentleman and
knew his colleagues were also clean
and UP to high standard of morals.
Ee declared the clause of the resolu-
ton referring to political parties was
improper and also the one referring
to the soda fountain beverage, as he
didn't believe they could be establish
ed by cold facts. The assembly be-
came confused and numbers were
trying to speak when a hurried mo-
ton was made and carried to adj
journ.
