Is bigger than the immense sum OF

timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consuEptive
is over $40, 1000 a year.
AS matter OF selfsdefense, he
averred. 1t would be worth while IN

Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for in

the most dangerous consumptives are

~ S35 tons for each life lost Mis-.
roari had the lowest death rate, head,
499.742 tons of coal mined for each
life loss,
Statistics do not bear out the pop
iilar idea that most mine disasters
result from EXPLOSIONS or the total
number reported during the last year.
9f1 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and 201
deaths and 416 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause of death among the miners. the
report explains. was due to the falling
of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
ters caused 1922 deaths and 214l
injuries.
Il. W. Parker, chief statistician OF
the survey. asserts that much benefit
will result from the action OF Con-
gress In appropriating $3.50, 900 to in
