VICTIMS OF MTRTH.

If another Fox ever writes n latter-day Book
of Martyrs he will surely reserve a long chap
ter for the bOgra phes of scientists whom unre-
generate humorsts have played with. The new
field is a promising one. 1t furnishes already
choice lot of dOleful Stories and will add to its
wealth day by day unless the note of amused
resignation struck by 1.-The New York Medical
Journal in its current number takes all the
fun out of scientist batting. The revival of
humorous interest in DR.. Oser leads that Pc
riodcal to the following utterances:
That truth crushed to earth will rise again"
is generally conceded. but the undiscerning
public does not seem to realize that error Is
frequently quite persistent DR.. William Osler
has recently had ample proof Of this. for both
the British and the American press have made
his sixtieth birthday, which, according to the
newspapers, occurred recently, the excuse for
cartoons and satirical comments innumerable
based on his reported dictum that all men
should be chlorofOrmed at sixty. The mere
fact that Dr. Osler did not lay down such
proposition-and this has been established be-
yond question-seens not TO have had any de-
terrent effect the cartoOniSts and para
graphsts. Many of them must have known that
the quotation was apochryphal. but the occa-
zion was too good to be wasted through mere
blind obedience 10 truth. The story was we'll
invented if not true Altogether, fear that
Dr OsIer's case is hopeless, and that he will go
down TO posterity the doctor who advised
cbloroform for all men at the age of sixty
but who fortunately did not take his own medi-

The calmness of The Medical Journals" edi-
torial indicates, no doubt, growing realization
among physicians, and scientists generally, that
the exploitation Of artistic inaccuracies about
them and their work is not only inevitable but
the whole. does more good than harm. Scien-
tiic themes may be played with dd Hbitum by
funny men and sensationalists without causing
Industrial crisis, a political revolution or a
libel suit. Although few intelligent readers are
more than momentarily deceived by absurd
yarns about photographing images on dead
mans eyes, perpetual motion machines, etc.
such tales may stimulate interest in science
among the young and the uncutured. IT, as some
would have US believe. jules Verne is chiefly To

"Oslerizing," swift cures for mortal diseases,

EoRGETFTL TRAVELLERS.

There began in this city Wednesday one of those
occasional auction sales which provoke me man
about town to comment on the frailty or human
nature supposedly revealed such occasions.
A transatlantic steamship company knocked
down TO the highest bidders nearly fifteen num-
drpd pieces of unclaimed luggage when the
claims denartment after holding them for years
in the hope of finding the owners. had hnaly
wearied of storing. In the hundreds of trunks,
vaIises and boxes all manner Of antiquated fin
erv mingled it is said with valuabes curi0s
and Junk What an opportunity, it might he
thought for an essay human forgetfulness
in general and the absent -mindedness OF trav-
ellers in particular. The philosopher might
amuse himself by classifying the causes which
separated them from their luggage. JOY would
explain the parcels left by the newly wed and
by the gamblers who struck rich sucker
on the way across Worry would account for
the young widows handbag and the hard
pressed financier's Saratoga, while fear would
tell the story of the lace smugglers abandoned
impedimenta But could the essayist pass from
these paragraphs in his discourse to general
conclusions disparaging Man the Forgeful AMI
NAL? Not if he had any regard for the truth.
We hear protests from those who have looked
IlpOn the array of lost articles which the New
York City street railway companies have gath
cred I'D in their vehicles. But not even thou
single elevated railroad can warrant the gen.
eralfzation. Measured by the total number OF
travellers and their trips. Lost and Found lists
are brief indeed. What perfect economic
animal Man is when millions Of him, speeding
over seas year in and year out leave irrevocably
behind them only fifteen hundred pieces of lug
gage! The slurs cast upon his property loving
instinct are based on Illusions like those which
TEMPT some sociologists to infer the decay of
American citizenship from the swarms of loaf
ers in metropolitan park, or the menace of
socialism from the huge crowd at an open air
mass meeting. According to mere mathemat-
ical probabilities. the number of abnormal
minds. strange emergencies and curious blum
ders occurring in a group of ten million ordl-
nary people is almost certainly large. hun
dred burglars would not make "crime wave
in such group. nor a thousand cases of scarlet
fever an epidemic. Far from arguing for the
immediate adoption of compulsory course in
mnemonics in every American school, the fifteen
hundred forgotten articles going under the ham,
mer prove that the average man remembers his
luggage more tenaciOusy than Mr.. Bryan re-
members his policies.
