of Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt, who bore
the expenses of the undertaking, and
who has shown much interest in the
experiment, being frequent visitor to
the institution.
What led to the adoption Of the
open-air ward was the successful out
come of an experiment which directly
preceded the permanent installation of
tho ward
"A portion of the roof" Dr. North
rup explained, was eXtemporized into
roof garden for the benefit Of the
sick children who were sent to the
hospital for treatment. A framework
of iron piping, covered with canvas
was made to lean-to, around the sides
Of which canvas curtains were ad
justed. The arrangement was crude,
but did good work in summer and
early fall, What was pronounced
very coy place for family picnic
party in September or October was by
the same persons denominated DESC
late in November and December.
However, it was airy, we'll summed, and
endurable. The children spent six
hours day there all winter, the en-.
tire ward being emptied out upon the
roof, while their ward below on the
first floor was well blown out through
the wide-open windows.
What kind of cases were sent to
the roof? All cases. On many days
every case in the children's ward was
sent to the roof. Exceptionally, where
the case was considered unfit for re-
moval such as one having a weak
heart, or one just recovering from an
operation, or when an extension appa-
ratus was attached to the bed. child
or two remained in the ward. This was
regrettable, because the ward could
not then be adequately aired through
wide-open windows. BY all cases
mean pneumonia in all stages, ap-
pendicitis, meningitis, burns, fractures,
| etc
Most onlookers have wished to
know details about pneumonia cases
taken out of doors on the roof. All
pneumonia cases in the height of
fever, while the stimulating effect of
the pneumotoXin was full on, were
regularly on the list to go to the ROOF
flor six hours on pleasant days. That
did not mean avoiding winds or cold
with sunlight, but avoiding rain or
snow.
ut has been noted by the nurses
that the children on rainy days, after
being confined to the ward all day,
become restless and peevish toward
evening. When returned from good
airing on the roof they are hungry and
sleepy. At night their sleep is quiet,
profound, unbroken.
This roof ward only illustrates
the greater emphasis now being laid
by the medical profession on fresh-air
treatment"

rumblings of present trouble tell of
the gathering storm. How often on
a summers day when the sky has
been bright and the air filled with the
songs of birds and all seemed so full
of joy and peace, there has come the
speck OF a cloud in the distance, there
has flashed out for an instant the fiery
tongue of the lightning, and the low
faint rumble of thunder has come to
the ear. all telling of gathering
storm, but as one has turned his face
upward towards the sun and again has
listened to the songs of the birds, the
thought of the coming storm has been
forgotten in the delight which is found
in the beauty and the brightness of
The moment. Then again comes the
lightning fash little more vivid than
before and the voice of the thunder
becomes more insistent and again
with startled vision one sees that the
cloud speck has grown. But it seems
SO far away after all, and 1t is sc
bright and CHEEKY all about that one

as reported to La Nature. Says this
paper:
THE waste gases are capable, If the
journey is long one, of producing
real symptoms of poisoning. Some
automobilists have actually been
obliged to give up their favorite sport
because of the gases which, pene-
trating in small quantities even to the
interior of the vehicle, cause them
persistent trouble. The waste gases
not being adapted for contact with our

the automobile makers that the floors

this difficulty disappears when
we realize that 1t is a declara.

From Gods point Of view his is
the master hand which directs

Of human life, so that the evil
forces are but working out their

final triumph which is to be his.
From the human point Of view
only the surface facts are appar-

There Is a sense in which man
may be independent of God, and
choose a way which is contrary
to Gods will, but he who knows
the end from the beginning sees
thousand and one ways in
which the very energies Of evil
may be harnessed TO the work

So in these troubles which
arose to threaten Solomon and
endanger his kingdom we find
that it was God who was oper.

sin and wickedness.

Ex-SENATOR'S PLIGHT

Warner Miller, formerly United States sena.
tor from New York and once prominent in Re-
publican politics leader of the "Halfbreeds,"
has failed as a result of the Martinique disaster
several years ago. "bankrupted by the acts Of
God and William Nelson Cromwell" as one OF
his friends expressed it.
He did not own foot of land in Martinique
nor did he have a dollar invested there, yet the
terrible explosion of natural forces that blew off
the top of the mountain, wiped city from the
face of the earth laid waste the fields and caused
much destruction among the shipping caused his
ruin years later. Deeply interested in the Mica
ragua canal project, Miller had invested much of
his money in it. The United States had virtually
decided to undertake the work Miller stood IN
