In Spain the railroads do not lose q
chance to make little profit, even in
the case of the non-travelers. When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege. @
The railroads all sell billetes de an

limos, equivalent to a cent in Ameri-
can money.
Just why this is done it is hard to
see, because persons entering train
cannot very well avoid the conductor,

There is a movement on foot back
ed by the Medical Society of the Dis
trict of Columbia and supported by
medical societies and scientific organ
izations throughout the United States,
to obtain through CONGRESS- a pension
for the widow of DR.. James Carroll.
DR.. Carroll died last month as the re-
suit of an experiment he made to
prove the theory he held that yellow
fever was carried by mosquitoes. He
allowed himself to be bitten by one
of the insects and came very near
losing his life as a result. Although
he recovered from the fever, he final
ly succumbed to complications that
followed in its train. The appeal to
congress will receive the hearty en-
sdorsement of the George Washington
university, DR.. Carroll having been Il
member of the faculty in the depart
ment of medicine. The institutions
backing will lend strength to the bill,
for the university is in high favor with
the administration, and members of
congress recognize lit. The university
is rapidly becoming national In char
