THE NEW ERIE CANAL.

Our Panama canal scheme isn't the only big canal scheme there is in the works. The National Geographic Mag azine gives much interesting informa- ton in regard to the new Erie canal, Oil which New York is about to spend more than $1OO,oOo,OOO. The enterprise is great one and would attract much attention but for the Panama canal, with it's international character and varying complica tions. Its commercial importance, the Geographic Magazine thinks, is not inferior to that of the Panama waterway. The new Erie canal is designed to accommodate 8 tonnage

THE JEWISH PHYSICIAN IN HIS
 TOPV


 An interesting survey of Jews as members of our profession is to be ob- tained from a little work entitled "Ju- dische Acrzte und ihr Finflues aut das Judentum," which has just been issued by Dr. Simon Scherbel. One Of the most prominent of the earlier person. ages mentioned is Chasdnw, who be- came a minister under the Calif Abdul Rahman III. and did much to estab- fish the position of the Jews among the Moslems in Spain during the tenth century, as well as to foster the study of the Talmud in that country. Jehu- da Halevi, who lived a hundred years later, was a busy physician who was also the author of distinguished prac- ticaI and philosophical works. The great Maimonides of Cordova is inclu- ded among the list of physicians by the author, who says that he created what is almost a new Talmud, and al- leges that Richard Occur de Leon wished to make him his court physi- clan, in spite of the edicts of the Popes Eugenius, Nicholas and Calixtus that CuL 4StlcClo S4AOnlQ A4OL C4LipAOS I44O OSN ish physicians.
 In Spain for many years they were practically the only practitioners of medicine Somewhat later Pope Alex ander VI. had as personal physician a Jew, Bonet de Lates, who subsequent ly became attached to the court of Leo x. The edict against Jewish physi- clans was finally raised by SiXtus V., largely at the instigation of two then celebrated physicians, David re Ponde and Fila Montalto. In the latter part of the eighteenth century Mendels- sohn's efforts in behalf of his compa- triots were ably seconded by his friend, the physician Marcus Herz, who con- tributed much toward the elevation of the Jews Of Germany. In still more re- cent times Aschert, Helnhelm Erter and Johann Jacoby have been promi- nent; and the author closes his emu meration with the widely known names of Strassmann. Neumann, Baginsky and Senator.-Msdical Record.

Vivillo, a notorious Andalusian bri- gand, is to "retire from his hazardous profession and become an honest man." lie can now afford to settle down and realize every brigand's ideal leaving the maintenance of his strenuous and hazardous profession in yonnger hands. His concluding feat was as follows: He appeared at the house of senor Toscano, a wealthy Seville landowner, in the uniform of lieutenant with six mounted constables, and told that per son he was in pursuit of the bandit Vii villo. He was asked to stay to dinner, and his men were entertained in the kitchen. At the conclusion of the meal the lieutenant" thanked his host, an- nounced that he was the bandit Vivillo, and asked for the $15,O0O which he knew Senor Toscano had brought from Seville the previous day. Toscano had no alternative but to pay the money.

The Massachusetts legislature which is to meet next week will rearrange the basis of representation in the Execu- tive Council, the Senate and the House. There are eight councillors, forty gen. ators and two hundred and forty rep resentatives and the Legislature has absolute control in dividing the state into councillor and senatorial districts. Tn the matter of representative dis tricts it simply allots to each county it's number of representatives, leaving to the county commissioners the work of laying out the districts. The census of 1905 will govern the work of redis- tricting. There are 674,161 legal voters, and the ratio of voters for each coun- cillor district is S4,27O, senatorial 1854, and representative 2,809.

This is g. pretty good country for for eigners to come to. Peter Larson of Montana is called the richest Scandin- avian in America. Out in Montana they say that he is the richest man in the northwest next to Senator W. A. Clark. The most modest estimate of his fortune is $5,OOO.OOO, while many men in position to judge say that it will approach $25,O0O,O 900. The former figure is undoubtedly too conservative. Peter Larson is a Dane by birth, hav- ing been born on the Island of Fuen hfty-six years ago. For the first twen- ty years his life was that of the or dinary peasant lad in Denmark. He came to America empty-handed and ig- norant of the language, beginning as a dock laborer.
