He sank into seat and, with a deep

When through the strange provl-

education of the Filipinos. and the de.
velopment Of the resources OF the
islands OF the Philippine archipelago.
officials of the government were
shocked and appalled, not only by the
numerous cases Of leprosy, but by Ee
careless Indifference with which the
disease was considered and the small
effort which was made To prevent the
spread OF the dread scourge and TO
isolate those afflicted But immedi.
ately upon taking command in the
islands the United States began to
consider the matter and has devel-
oped a policy which is being carried
out systematically not only for the
comfort Of the 5000 known lepers in
the islands. but for the protection of
others against the disease AS we
have said the authorities were
amazed when they came to look into
the situation to find 80 many afflicted
ith this dread disease but, begin
ming with the army surgeons who erst
took up the work of segregation. the
task of caring for the patients and
protecting the rest of the community
from the disease has gone on assid-
uously until the experts now hold out
the gratifying promise that leprosy
may he finally eradicated from the
Philippine islands.
Those who have looked into the his.
tory of the treatment of leprosy find
that while attention has been given
for many years to lepers. the work
has been mainly of a charitable ma.
ture and was not carried on systemat-

ically or in such a way as to control
tha situation. The help and treat
mont were largely given to those
people who could not take care of
themselves or who had no friends to
provide for them There were many
lepers who could not become public
charges. and they were allowed to
live as they pleased. and in this way
the disease spread. II was not until
the last year or two that II was pos
sible to provide complete isolation.
This step was taken by the con
struction on the Island of Culion, OF
leper colony, where there are at
present accommodations for 500 pa
tients. nearly all of whom are on hand.
The estimate for taking care ultimate
ly OF the 1000 or 5000 lepers on the
island gave the cost of subsistence,
material for houses clothing, trans
portatlon. etc, to maintain them all
az about 25 cents day for each per
son. II is possible that the estimated
number of lepers is somewhat exag-
gerated. because when the doctors
came To examine those who had been
suspected of leprosy they found that
many of them were not so afflicted.
II the same proportion is maintained
throughout the examination, Of course,
the estimated total will be materially
reduced.
There are many problems connected
with the caring for the lepers in the
Philippines. One OF these is their
employment While only a small pro.
norton of the patients are capable,
from the nature of their disease, of
performing manual labor many of
them might engage in the lighter oc-
cupations in the manufacture OF ar
ticles which could be sold; but there
ia preiudice, natural enough under the
circumstances, against purchasing or
nossessing articles handled by lepers,
and this prejudice Is not removed by
the fact that the experts pronounce
the danger of contamination re-
moved by the process of sterilization,
One proposition is TO raise cattle, IN
yolying light occupation l.. which
many of the lepers might enP9ge. II

BIG WATERWAY SYSTEM.
Three Thousand Six Hundred Miles of
River Accounted Fer.

An old river pilot, in discussing the
presidents voyage down the river
from st. Louis to Memphis, says that
very little idea OF the western system
Of waterways can be gained from SO
short voyage.
THE distance from st. Louis to
Cairo is 1913 miles; from Cairo to
Memphis, 241 miles. SO that the presi-
dent saw only 439 miles Of our west
ern system below st. Louis.
Nov, the Ohio river from Pittsburg
to Cairo. is sos miles; the Kanawha is
72 miles; the Tennessee river, from
its mouth to Florence, Ala. is 256
miles; the Mississippi, from st. Paul
to Cairo, is 926 miles. and from Cairo
to New Orleans, just 1000. The Mis-
souri, river from St. Louis to Kansas
City, is Ss6 miles, and above that
point is nayigable for nearly 1000
mites more.
Leaving out Of the account, how
ever the upper Missouri, the Mime
sofa, Illinois, Arkansas, Red River and
several others. some Of which are
navigable for considerable distances,
there are in the main streams over g.
600 miles Of water course, nayigable
nearly three-fourths Of the year, and
OF this the president will see only a
little more than one-ninth. It is In
conceivable that so magnificent sys-
TEN OF water highways should be ne

though it covers so small part Of the
entire system, ought to be the begin
ming Of new era in river transporta-
tion."
