THE PNEUMONIA SEASON.

The end of the pneumonia season is at hand. In the mortality tables of the two chief American cities, pneumonia has for three successive years scored above the record ong he'd by tuberculo- sis. New York has a special pneumo- mia commission which must report be- fore the autumn campaign begins Chi cago has made resistance against the disease by keeping the people constant ly admonished about the propagation of respiratory disease in general. In both cities the story of the figures is be- lieved, and pneumonia is hailed as the new ''captain of the men of death" The agents of death appear to have been realignsd in such a way as to vastly in- crease the effectiveness of pneumonia without markedly diminishing the effec- tiveness of the former. Tuberculosis is still credited with more than ten per cent. of the total mortality, while pneu- monia, formerly credited with six per cent, or seven per cent, now claims over eighteen per cent. of the total mor- tality. The two diseases which former- ly scored together about seventeen per cent, now score over twenty-eight per cent. of the total mortality. Other dis eases have steadily grown in impor- tance during the same period, notably cancer and Bright's disease.-American Medicine.

PENsIoNING PROFESSORS.

While everybody, nearly, was engaged in approving Mr Carnegie's gift of ten million dollars to pension retired pro fessors, along came the brilliant histor- ian, John Bach McMaster, with obser- vations such as these: Tn the first place, do not believe in pension sys- tems in general, asd am especially op- posed to them in the teaching profess sion. .,. I believe that in this and in all professions, as in business, each man should stand on his own basis, and on that alone. We have Carne- gie libraries and Carnegie heroes; now we are to have Carnegie professors, I do not Like it." There you have straightout American individualism, in its extremest form. Old age pensions IS a general system are in full force in Germany, the movement for them is se- rions in England, and many persons, in cluding all those of socialistic tendency, approve of them in America.
 Without committing ourselves on the whole subject, but, like the supreme court, coming our opinion to the case at issue, we take sides in MT. Carne- giSs favor. Teachers are not paid in accordance with their knowledge and ability, the public is deeply affected by the quality of their work, and it is well to have a painless method of relieving those whose use is ended Moreover, when concentration is such a danger Mr. Carnegie's theory about the dissi- patton of great fortunes is to be encour- aged.

JAPAN HAS STOOD THE TEST.

The war between China and Japan made clear to the English-speahn peo- pie that a new great power had arisen in the far east. It is impossible for the most skeptical to refuse to recognize that we are face to face with a world power which is destined to exercise great influence, not only in the east, but also in the west--that, in fact, the as- tendency of Europe is at an end now that there are two non-E European great powers. It is never to be forgotten that a great war is the supreme test of na- tional efficiency. That Japan in single combat with one of the greatest militia ry powers of the world, the power which hitherto has been supposed to possess numerically the largest army, has borne the test well nobody can deny. Therefore, we seem warranted in assuming that the progress of Japan in the early future will be very rapid-at least as rapid as that of Germany dur ing the past generation, London Sta tist.

NEWS FROM LONELY PITCAIRN.
 Reports to the English colonial office

Reports to. the English colonial office just issued include one on Pitcairn Is land, the lonely home in the Pacific of the mutieers of the armed ship Bounty, who landed there in 1789. The island CTS number seventy-seven males and ninety-two females, including children. They are hard working and more or less healthy, but exhibit certain vicious ten dencies which religion has been unable to eradicate. Many are narrow-minded and unstable. They have adopted an extraordinary patois derived from the language of the Tahitian women who accompanied the mutineers to the is- land. They employ this patois in con versation among themselves, although most of the adults can speak English fairly well, and in some instances very we'll, considering the circumstances of their environment. There are persos of ability among them, but some few ap- pear to be lacking in intelligence. The children are comparatively numerous, and if properly cared for should be useful members of the community.
