fields of the eastern states. The depart.
ment of agriculture developed this idea,
and although its practical application
is less than three years old, it nas now
passed the experimental stage. That
the agriculturists of the country believe
in this theory is evidenced by the dcluge
Of applications that has come to the de-
partment here for cultures of soil-inoo-
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
Is per cent. of the cases where the cul-
lures have been used.
Since the first of the year a 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.

1t is curious fact that Mr.. Gully,
former speaker Of the British house Of
commons, at one time was very de-
spondent as to his future, and that the
dependency was shared by two of his
comrades in the legal profession.
There is story of those three dis
cussing seriously whether they had
not better throw up England altogeth-
er and seek fortune in India or one of
the colonies. Luckily they decided to
give fortune another chance, with very
notable results. Mr.. Gully ended as
speaker of the house of commons.

to 0.770 cents in 1904 That is, the
rate has shrunk from about cents

The system of collecting fares in
the City of Mexico differs radically
from that employed in this country, as
2 slip is handed by the conductor to
each passenger as fare receipt. This
receipt shows the date, amount of fare
and direction of trip, bears serial
number, and must be retained by the
passenger until the end Of his ride as
proof that he has paid his fare The

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 tho
white house, and President Roosevelt
is really very fond of him. The fact il
that Mr.. Roosevelt enjoys an actual
comradeship with several of the ambas-
sadors, notably Durand, Sternberg and
Jusserand. The latter is prime favor
tie with all the officials. Secretary Taft
says he likes him because he is really
appreciate the subtlety of American hui
NOR.
Ambassador Durand has a sort of fad
in the study of child life. Wherever he
has been stationed he has gathered some
interesting data about the manners and
methods of the juvenile population. 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 il
lustration of this, he relates an incident
that occurred when he represented
Great Britain at Teheran. He and some
of the legation people got up picnic
and told the cook to prepare luncheon.
The latter said that his children would
pack the basket, as they we're we'll ac-
quainted with British ways. When Sir
Mortimer himself unpacked the drink
ables, in which were claret and brandy,
he found package of peppermint drops
tied to each bottle. He was a little
startled to find how closely the Persian
youngsters had studied English ways,

medium height, has his headquarters.
There is nothing unusual about his ap-
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-
ice, and his name is associated with
every important movement looking to
the control of epidemics and the preven-
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 it 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.
Surgeon-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.

tional safeguards to the health of the
people. This public health service has
q rather interesting history, as it 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 it
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, a dozen hospitals
had been established, including those at
Baltimore, New York and Evansville,
Ind. For three quarters of century
there was a very lax administration of
these isolated hospitals. When the
service was reorganized, Surgeon Gen.
eral Woodwork became it's head, and
improvement at once followed.
The upbuilding of the service is slow
work, however, but under DR.. Wyman,
who took charge IA years ago, this serv-
ice, which then only looked after the
sick merchant sailors, was transformed
into 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
It conducts scientific research along n.y.
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 invest1ga-
tons. 1t promises in time to become one
of the great institutions of the United
States devoted to medical research. OF
the $50 doctors connected with the bu-
reau some of the brightest are assigned
to work in this laboratory. It is study
ing leprosy, spotted fever and looking
after the purity of drugs, as well as in
speeding the serums of anti-toxins.

of Hon. Alvey A. Adee, whose official
designation is the second assistant Sec

ture him to the hundreds of people who
have had to do business at the state de-

Secretary Adee's whole life has been
devoted to diplomacy, and if 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
