cHIAA,s CANAL srsrEm.

The Chinese are not yet much on rail- roads, but they know how to use ca nals. China is practically covered by network of canals. From the Grand Canal lead smaller canals, and from these ramify still smaller ones, so that there is scarcely a single forty-acre tract of land not in touch with this magnificent system. It is by this means that the Chinese raise their im- mense rice crops. During the rice growing season, tfrs fields are flooded, thus furnishing at the same time hatch cries for the fish, which, teeming in the canals, furnish the Chinese fisherman with abundant hauls. This dual ser- vice of the canals is of iaestimable value to the country. The method of gathering tlra muck from the canal beds is similar to that of. our oystermen, dredging by hand. From the muck enough shelifish is obtained to pay the farmer for his work, and the fertilizing muck is, therefore, clear profit. It is largely used around the mulberry trees, those valuable adjuncts to the silk in- dustry. The fertilizer. bsing rich in nj trogen, potash. and humus clements, is of great value. Another of the mutual ly benefcent features is that this much dredging has kept the canals open for centuries.
 The Chinese farriers also kesp the canals purified by gathering all floating weeds, grass. etc. The reeds are used for weaving baskets and for fuel. Thus not bit of plant life about the canals goes to waste. Tlpa adjoining swamp ground is used for raising lotus roots, from which commercial swamproot is largely obtained. The natural query arises, Why could not our Southern States swamp lands be similarly util- ized?"
 Where the canals widen, the extra water surface is used for raising water nuts, or rather, bulbs. These are rich in arrowroot, The annual profit from an acre of. shallow water thus employed is greater than that of an acre of grain or similar crops on cultivated land. Another use to which the .utilitarian Chinese apply these canals is the rais- ing of ducks. These duck farms are profitable. ''-'> ~r=, 'f F.' '--

B BEHIND 2HE TIM ES.

Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, has been re- garded as a decidedly up to date town. It is thickly spotted with millionafres, the smoke of it's money making ascends night and day, and also descends, like the rain, on the just and the unjust who are there, It has everything that is going, including much that ought not to be going. But what can be done even in this highly modern town is shown by the action of the Young Mems Christian Association of Pitts burg in excluding actors from member ship. More than this, the officials have accompanied their decision by direct in- suits, which will be sharply resented by the thousands of honorable men and women upon the stage. They have said that they exclude actors for fear they might "contaminate" the. younger menl- bers.
 It is not surprising that a Presbyte- rian minister in Pittsburg has prompt ly announced that the rejected actors would find a welcome in his church. Of course there are bad actors whose act ing is bad both on and off the stage But also of course it is unfair to ex- clude all actors from the benefit of such Christianity as there may be in the Young Mems Christian Association of Pittsburg. Actors should be treated as if they ware human beings, even when their acting on the stage doesn't suit thoughtless and cruel college students. And those of them who want good in- fiuences should be allowed to have them. The time has gone by when in- discriminate condemnation of actors is thought by any but foolish bigots to be proper.

Ferguson's statement that several out breaks coming under his observation in Ireland ran concurrently with similar disease in swine and dogs. The heav- fest incidence on one family, noted by J. L. Smith, fell OF family whose oc- eupati0n was the manufacture of ''headcheese.' There were some four hundred heads of animals in the house at the time of the outbreak, and the four eases occurred singly, at intervals Of one week, three weeks and fifteen days.
 Our forbears spoke of these eoinci- dent epizootics as cerebro-spinal men, lingitis, giving undue weight, perhaps. to the clinical resemblance. In these days We have rather put aside the ear Tier notion without fairly disproving it. The idea that the equine disease is con Veyed somehow by food is held by many modern veterinarians The same theo- " of it's etiology was held until quite recent times concerning human eerebro- spinal meningitis. The widely separa- ted points of it's appearance, the rela- tiYe rarity of multiple eases in one house and the extremely irregular in teryals between cases belonging appa- rsntly to the same series weigh strong ly in favor of some sort of intermediate transmission and against the impor- lance of direct contagion, though the latter undoubtedly occurs. When other epidemic diseases, notably cholera and plague, have manifested similar pecu- liaritles careful study has sometimes shown that cases occurring far apart and belonging apparently to different series were, in fact, closely related. And So, in the study of epidemic cere- bro-spinal meningitis, fuller informa- ton about the occupations and places of business of all who are concerned in house outbreaks might suggest proba- bihties which are commonly supposed to be excluded by the special incidence or the disease on children.
 A careful study of the epidemic dis tFibution of cerebro-spinal meningitis might also show that it's incidence is relatively heavier on small villages and rural districts. Some authors believe

Perhaps there will be some more tainted money to talk about soon. Any how, fight is on between the Gulf R's- fining Company and the Standard Oil Company. The battle centers around Tuskegee. Alabama, the town made fa- nous by Booker WashingtOn's insti- ute. Messrs. Rockefeller and Rogers say the Gulf company shall not sell oil in Tuskegee-that the people of Tuske- gse and Macon county, Alabama, shall use oil refined and manipulated by the Standard Oil Company, or else resort to the old pitch pine knots. The Stand ard Oil Company lays down the funda- mental proposition that Tuskegee is too small a town to be occupied by two oil companies. The Age-Herald of Bir- mingham, Alabama thus comments on the issue: Tt is a battle in which IRockefellsr's religion and Rogers claim to moral superiority will cut no figure. The tactics employed at Tuskegee should be closely watched, and if need be the attention of Commissioner Gar field should be called thereto"
 Very likely the Standard Oil Compa- ny isn't going to do anything wrong in or around Tuskegee, and if 1t does hap pen to slip it will be ably and doubtless successfully defended by it's lawyers. But it will be interesting to watch the proceedings from 8 safe and Christian distance.

so. Pfeiffer says it is "a disease of winter, children, and soldiers" During the American civil war the armies on. both sides suffered repeatedly and se- yerely from cerebro- spinal meningitis. and the history of it's appearance and spread in France between 1887 and 1S42, and in Algiers in 1840, is almost a
 chronicle of the movements of troops. The susceptibility of soldiers would seem to indicate that the conditions of city life are not especially favorable to the spread of cerebro- o-spinal meningitis. If it is, as seems likely, more prevalent under rural conditions one more is add ed to the reasons already urgent upon municipal authorities to demand exact accounting for current mortality and thorough going sanitary government in small communities and rural districts. Time was when great cities constantly menacsd the health of the surrounding country, but nowadays it is the other way about. The United SStates Census report shows for the registration states rural mortality slightly less than that of the cities. The difference is so small
 that equal efficiency of registration would give the lead to rural districts. The testimony of the census is, howev- q, open to serious question, for the census reports place the apex of the seasoned curve in June and July, which means that this part of the mortality account includes much beside cerebro- spinal fever. The stir about the disease IS llveliest in New York, whose great population will yield impressive figures. It seems probable that the smaller pop lulations, living in neighboring towns and villages and in the rural districts, are suffering higher relative mortali- ty, and that, too, under conditions in some some respects more favorable for the solution of it's mysteries than the expe- rience of greater New York will offer.

4 ssiSTED EMIGRATION.

Some of the emigrants who come to this country are not really needed here. Commissioner General of Immigration Sargent expects to receive information from abroad soon that will throw valu- able light on certain phases of immigra- tion that are giving some concern to the Washington officials. Marcus Braun, a special agent, sailed from New York last week for Europe, where he wdn spend the next four or five months fol- lowing lines of inquiry mapped out by Mr. Sargent. MT. Braun will make his headquarters in Budapest, from which he will go out into the adjoining countries on frequent trips of inquiry and investigation. There has been a tremendous increase of late in in1nni- grafton from Austria and Hungary. They easily take the lead among the European nations that contribute most heavily to the foreign population of the United States. During the month of March these two countries sent more than 40,00O men and women to our shores, or nearly one-third of the en- tire immigration for that month. This was an increase of 16,000 over the num- 1bar received from those countries in the month of March last year. Italian im- migration took sudden spurt during the month of March, being 12,000 great CT than during the corresponding month of 1904. Some 16,oO0 Russian Jews were landed here last month, as compared with 5000 in March year ago. The gain in immigrants from Sweden in the same month was 1,250.
 Commissioner General Sargent is con- vinced that despite the diplomatic pro- tests that have been forwarded through the State Department against the so- called "assisted. emigration" this evil has not been stopped. There is still reason to believe that the governments of certain of the European countries are working off their undesirable poor on the United States. Men and women of the same class that arrived here last year with the aid of funds furnished by charitable institutions and immigration societies closely identified with the To- cal national government are being re- ceiwad now. They are better trained to answer the questions of the inspectors than the poor who preceded them, and it is now almost impossible to obtain evidence on which to make deporta- 'tions. Observation has proved, howev- ; Fis t1

A filter who squeezed into a boiler at the railroad station at Crewe, England, apparently increased in size while in- side, for he could not get out, and a problem of the most serious order faced the other employees. At first it was pro- posed to get up steam and drive him through the safety valve in the ordin- ary way. His previous good character, however. and the possession of large family secured him a reprieve.
