LECTURES BY SOETH AMERICANS.

The slow process of making the Americas aC-
Quainted with one another will be happily has
tened somewhat If Ruy BarbOsa the eminent
brazilian iurist. accepts the invitation from
Yale University 10 deliver next spring the Dodge
lectures on "Citzenship.' While lively inter
course Of the most cordial character has been
maintained for long time between official rep
resentatives of governments north and south of
the isthmus, there has been singular and
unwelcome dearth of direct, personal relations
between private citizens of the two continents.
This state of affairs Is almost entirely his
torical accident not the result of any racial or
political antipathy. The lines of trade the inn
mense distances and. in no small measure, the
pressure of home problems economic, political
and educational, have been the principal causes
Of the delay in making the people Of the Pole
Star and the Southern Cross acquainted with
each other
Valuable as the exchange of courteses be-
tween governments surely is in promoting inter
national friendships. ii is insignificant in COM
parison with the Introduction OF the educated
classes of one country to the intellectual leaders
of another. Should Barb0sa lecture in the cen
tres Of culture In our country, as he will Ger
tainly be invited to do If he visits Yale: and
should Drago. the distinguished Argentine
scholar and statesman, do the same under the
auspices of Harvard. many Of our fellow cit
liens would speedily be diSencumbcred OF the
delISion that South America is Synonymous
with revolution. and that cultured. progressive
men do not and can never flourish within her
borders. A living refutation Of these and sim
liar popular falaCieS IS needed. and no better
one could be found than in the form of the pro
posed lectures by two such distinguished repre-
sentatives Of intellectual South America. We
hope Barbosa will seize this opportunity TO con
duct 4 campaign of education here, and that
Drago will soon have n like chance to bring the
thinking classes of the northern and southern
hemispheres together

/ STUDY IN uANsLAUGHTER.

1t is not easy TO speak in terms Of moderation
of the revelations which have been made con-
cerning the sanitary condition Of the New Jer-
sey State Hospital for the Insane at Trenton.
1t has become truisn, but it is none the less n
practical truth, that any epidemic Of typhoid in
O civilized community Is discreditable. If not
dsgrnceful, and even criminal, for 1t indicates
a lack Of cleanliness, OF care, or Of common
sense, which might not unnaturally prevail in
Dahomey, but which is as little excusable in
America as would be the smelling OUT Of
witches according 10 odtime Zulu methods.
To babble about unknown causes" in such
cases is inbeciie; 10 cant Of "vIsitations OF
Providence Is blasphemy. The simple fact is
that typhoid outbreaks are in nearly all cases
due 10 flthiness or sl0venllness which Is NOR
ally and ought 10 be legally, criminal.
It is inexcusably bad to permit typhoid out
breaks in ordinary communities among people
who are IN the possession Of their faculties and
are able TO look after their own welfare But
TO induce such q visitation upon hospital full
OF helpless patients. wards OF the state, who
have been put there expressly 10 be healed, is
rnonstrous Surround spring at close quarters
with stables slaughter houses, cesspools, laun-
dries. tenement houses. leaky sewers and what
not all so placed that their toxic outflow IS
likely TO find .ts way into the spring. and when
the spring gets clogged with filth scrape 1t out
with q flth laden broom; also, place dairy
close by and let it swarm with flies fresh from
the stables and cesspools, and let the cans and
pans get as dirty as such conditions make pos
sible; then give TO hospital patients the water
from that spring and the milk from that dairy
10 drink.
When iap-eareG fool considers 1t the quin-
tessencc of hunor 20 point gun at friend,
:neyl I'm going TO shoot you!" and pull the
trigger we nii know what 10 think OF him and
what should be done with him, despite his blub-
beging plea that he didn't know It was loaded
Bet what is TO be said OF responsible physicians
and administrators who week after week and
month after month maintain such conditions as
those at Trenton? What plea OF didn't know
81 was loaded" can excuse their transformation
OF a hospital into typhoid factory? Between
thsm and the fool With the gun the contrast is

Mt the fve-cent mark, spool cotton has already
risen to six cents and threatens 10 shoot up 10

duced. The Thread Trust says that cotton
and labor and spools all cost much more than
they formerly did, while the small fry say That
the trust can name its own prices regard

women have become slaves to the habit Of using

EXPLORING THE UPPER AIR.

There has recently been growing conviction
among meteorologists that the circulation of the
atmosphere, on which weather changes depend
is Il more complicated matter than was once
supposed. Not only is there interchange Of
air between the tropics and polar regions but
also u transpositiOn OF currents flowing at diff
ferent levels. Properly to understand the con-
dtions which are likely to prevail at the sur.
face, therefore, it may be necessary to learn
something about the situation at an elevation
In accordance with that suppositon an uu-
Is TALLY elaborate campaign Will be conducted
this week by means of kites equipped with in
struInents for recording temperature humidity
Darometric pressure and wind direction. The
work will be conducted at seventeen widely
distributed stations. three of them being ships
at sea, and two others being within the limits
of the United States. The inquiry will begin
tomorrow morning and end on Saturday even
ing next

servatores on mountains are not without value,
but they do not accurately report conditions en-
listing at the same height a short distance away
The movement Of the clouds reveals the dl-
rectOn and velocity of aerial currents and
study of this phenomenon alone has begun to
revOlutiOnZe conceptions regarding the at
mOspheric circulation. Clouds, however, afford
only indefinite indications of temperature and
humidity, which are more satisfactorily OBJ
tanned by balloons and kites The greatest al
de reached by an unnamed balloon is about
dozen miles, and the maximum height at

and half. The latter IS believed to be suf-
1icient for most practical purposes and, since
the testimony of the kite is Just now cOnsid-
cred somewhat more trustworthy than that of
the sounding balloon, it is at present preferred
to its rival. y good deal has, of course, been
accomplished in the past by these various agen
Cies, but in rather fragmentary and irregular
fashion. IN view Of the comprehensive and sys-
tCmatic character of the work about to he
undertaken it is not improbable that it will
yield new fruit.
1t has long been known in general way that
asCendS the temperature Of the air
decreases at the rate of one degree for every
three hundred feet. The rule is not uniform
though and departures from il are no doubt as
significant in one way rs conformity TO 1t is
in another. Among the hopes entertained in
regard to this weeks research Is that ii may
lead to greater accuracy In daily fOrecaSting, q
result of much practical Importance. The pros
pcct of such an Improvement would obviously
be enhanced if a relationship between GER
tain phenomena first noticed Mt an elevation
and other phenomena Mt the surface were
clearly established. If the clew for which
meteOroogists are looking is not found imme-
diately 4 renewal of the search at some future
time may be more successful. The inquiry
should he broad enough, too. to ascertain at
what point or points the earliest prcmonitions
