tional safeguards to the health Of the
people. This public health service has
rather interesting history, as 1t Is
unique in the governments of the world.
No such organization exists in any other
country, and probably no function of
our federal government carries with 1t
more arbitrary and far reaching pow
ers than the enforcement of health reg
ulations. The marine hospital service
was established by act of congress July
16, 1898. Within two years there was es-
tablished isolated hospitals at Norfolk,
Boston, Newport and Charleston. Up to
1871, when the service was reorganized
under single head, dozen hospitals
had been established, including those at
Baltimore, New York and Evansville,
Ind For three-quarters of century
there was very lax administration of
these isolated hospitals. When the
service was reorganized, Surgeon Gen
eral Woodwork became Its head, and
Improvement at once followed.
The upbuilding Of the service is slow
work, however, but under DIR. Wyman,
who took charge II years ago, this serv-
Ice, which then. only looked after the
sick merchant sailors, was transformed
into a national health service, controll-
ing national and interstate quarantine,
and the inspection of the millions of i'm
migrants who come to this country. The
bureau also handles epidemics, state.
national and insular, and controls the
production and distribution OF serums,
viruses, toxins and analogous products.
1t conducts scientific research along hy-
gienic lines, either in the finely equipped
laboratory in this city or in some part
Of the territory or possessions of the
United States.
The hygienic laboratory which now
occupies the old naval observatory. is
engaged in most important investiga-
tions. II promises In time to become one
OF the great institutions of the United
States devoted to medical research. or

There is nothing of the aristocrat about
him, and he takes the keenest interest
In American manners, customs and
sports. Like his predecessor. Sir
Michael Herbert. and also like the late
Lord Pauncefote, Sir Mortimer seems
destined to increase the entente cordiale
between Great Britain and the United
States. He Is welcome visitor at the
white house. and President Roosevelt
Is really very fond OF him. The fact is
that Mr.. Roosevelt enjoys an actual
comradeship with several OF the ambas-
sailors, notably Durand, Sternberg and
Jusserand The latter is prime favor
tie with all the officials. Secretary Tart
saws he likes him because he Is really ,
the one diplomat who can thoroughly
appreciate the subHety Of American hui
NOR.
Ambassador Durand has a sort OF fad
in the study OF child life. Wherever he
has been stationed he has gatheredsome
interesting data about the manners and
methods of the Juvenile populations He
has been greatly amused In observing
the newsboys of New York and also the
young colored and white arabs of the
streets OF washington. but he thinks
that for Juvenile intelligence the little
folks of Persia take the palm. As an II
Iustration of this, he relates an incident
that occurred when he represented
Great Britain ct Teheran. He and some
Of the legation people got up q picnic
and told the cook to prepare luncheon.
The latter said that his children would
pack the basket. as they were well &C.;
quainted with British ways. When Sir
Mortimer himself unpacked the drink
abIes. In which were claret and brandy,
he found : package Of peppermint drops
tied to each bottle. He was : little
startled to end how closely the Persian
youngsters had studied English ways,

prevent him, however. extracting max

This is a rather inadequate description
Of Hon. Alvey A. Adee. whose Official
designation is the second assistant Sec
rotary of state, but 1t win suffice to pic
ture him to the hundreds Of people who
have had to do business at the state de-
partment.
Secretary Adee's whole life has been
devoted to diplomacy, and II the truth
were known, the majority of the able
state papers that have appeared over the
names of much more famous men than
he during the last 20 years have been OF
his composition. He Is an expert In the
use of diplomatic language, and In the
construction of correspondence that
will carry harsh truths In the softest
terms.
Not long ago Mr.. Adee presided at the
meeting of the directors of the bureau
of American republics. AS he could not
hear any motion made or speeches de-
livered, he worked out a programme
which he had typewriter and given to
each member. In this programme tn
order of business was indicated and the
time to be allotted to each subject. The
number of minutes each member was to
be allowed to speak was also indicated.
Mr.. Adee called the meeting to order
exactly on time and then with split
second watch before him proceeded to
CARRY out the programme. Some OF the
grandiloquent South and Central Ameri-
can ministers we're much astounded to
be cut Off in the midst of their speeches
by the sharp pounding of Mr. Adee's
gavel. The latter never let on for mo-
ment that he knew he was interfering
with speeches. but Immediately an
nounced the next order of business. and
in this way the meeting was conducted
on schedule time and according to the
Adee programme.

fields OF the eastern states. The depart
ment OF agriculture developed this idea.
and although its practical az 2iication
is less than three years old. II has now
passed the experimental stage. That
the agriculturists OF the country believe
in this theory is evidenced by the deluge
OF applications that has come to the de-
partment here for cultures OF soil-inoc-
ulating bacteria. The great majority
of these applicants are apt to be disap-
pointed, as the department has not the
ability to supply all the demands.
Secretary Wilson does not claim that
the cultures are beneficial to the soil
or to crops under all circumstances.
They must be applied to legumes. The
direct benefit is reported In more than
rs per cent. of the cases where the cul-
lures have been used.
Since the first of the year company
has established plant in Pennsylvania
for the purpose of cultivation Of soil in
oculating bacteria, and another plant
is In operation In Vermont. There
promises to grow up very considerable
industry In this line, and as the agricul-
tural department is also supplying these
cultures monopoly OF the business by
any one firm or combination will be pre-
vented. 1t has been demonstrated by
the department that the cost OF the ma
terial for culture capable OF inoculat-
ing an acre Is but four cents. CONNER
cial concerns are charging from $3.50 to
two dollars an acre for cultures.

There is nothing unusual about his APP
pearance, but his name Is known
throughout the length and breadth OF
this land, and for that matter through
out the world. wherever disease and in
lection exist. This is Surgeon-General
Walter Wyman, the conservator of the
nations health. He is at the head of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
every important movement looking to
the control of epidemics and the proven
ton of diseases and plaques entering
the borders of the United States.
DR.. Wyman Is a modest gentleman,
who never intrudes himself on public
notice, but his position at the head of
the health department of the govern
ment brings him into prominence, and
the work of his bureau has been so i'm
portant and at times almost sensational
that 1t necessarily has made him one of
the best-known of public officials. DR..
Wyman has worked, during the IA
years he has occupied his present place,
in favor of national health laws and
regulations and quarantine. He has
successfully opposed the old regimes
of shotgun quarantine that obtained in
the south. The United States health Of
ficers are now recognized everywhere,
and no longer opposed in the discharge
of their duties. DR.. Wyman has been
able during his administration to so po-
lice the frontiers with inspectors of his
bureau as to reduce to the minimum the
danger of the introduction OF yellow
fever and cholera.
SurgeonG General Wyman was In the
marine hospital service before he was
called to his present position. He was
four years at the head Of the marine hos
pital in Baltimore, and In addition to
looking after the health of American
seamen. he found time to take up the
fight against the cruelty practiced on
crews Of oyster vessels. He was also in
the marine hospital in New York.

went singing through the streets, fol-
lowing bands. Plans are afoot for an
organized formal celebration of Togo's
victory. The number of Russian yes.
sells of all descriptions sunk and cap
tured by Admiral Togo's fleet now
stands at nineteen. 1t is possible
that three additional warships were
sunk in the fight Saturday and others
later.
