THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Methods Used In the Campaign Of
Education in New York.

Were war in the United States to
take off every year 10000 persons
we would be Mortified beyond meas
ure. Yet this is the estimate of the
American loss from tuberculosis.
A feature Of the State campaign
has been a kind of tuberculosis revi-
val meeting, a mass meeting at which
the citizens are stimulated by speak
ers of experience and wide reputation
to an awakened social conscience.
Recently the New York committee
distributed among the Italian tene-
ment house population 10000 col
ored pictures of canal in Venice.
On the borders of the hanging picture
are printed simple instructions about
the care and prevention of the dis
ease.
Only five years ago the committee
on the prevention of tuberculosis OF
the Charity Organization Society OF
the city of New York was appointed.
What has this committee done?
The handbook and the directory Of
organizations, sanatoria and hospitals
for the treatment of tuberculosis in
the United States not only have been
of great assistance to pioneers in tu-
be.culosis work, but have had a d.
rect influence in forming public opin-
ion and creating a general interest
in preventive measures all over the
country. The don't" card, which in
simple language gives suggestions re-
garding the prevention of tuberculo-
sis, has become standard form of
literature for general didactic use.
its circulation has literally run up
into the millions.
Lectures on tuberculosis, mainly
stereopticon, given during the five
years under the auspices of the COM
mittee, have reached an audience Of
some $50, 1000 persons. The travelling
tuberculosis exhibition, containing
models, photographs. charts, etc, has
been shown in many places in New
York City to probably half million
people.
In the summer of 1907 the COM
mittee resurrected for day camp pur-
poses an old city ferry boat, and
proved in one summer that at rela-
lively small cost increased weight,
good color and lasting appreciation
of fresh air and cleanliness can be
gained by consumptiye ''stay at
homes"
Especially important has been the
establishment of ten special tubercu-
losis clinics and the organization of
a system of distinct dispensaries,
which prevent overlapping and dupli-
cation of effort and look toward the
ultimate dispensary control of tuber-
culosis.-Review of Reviews.

The Supreme Court of Maine re-
Gently ruled that that State may law
fully restrict the clearing of privately
owned forest land if the public would
be injured by such clearing. Louis
iana's proposed law goes still further
In the same direction and follows the

OF note that the two States which are
first to take this advanced stand in
forest protection are 1900 miles apart
and have forests not at all alike in
character. different soils, climates
with few points in common, crops of
wholly different kinds, geography and
topography of opposite extremes, yet
each realizes the immense Importance
Of its forests and how essential their
protection is to the continued pros
perity of its people.

FRAMING 1T UP FOR HIM.
Fight in the Street Faxed For the
Disadvantage of the Unwary.

Three or four small boys waited
outside downtown restaurant the
other evening until a man came out
who appeared to be little the worse
for food. AS he paused at the side
walks edge two of the boys squared
off and began apparently to fight
with the heartiest ill-will.
One was short; the other tall. The
little fellow was seemingly having
all the best of it, when suddenly the
big one ran.
Come on, get after him" said the
inebriate on the sidewalk.
Bet you a dollar can lick him" !"
said the big fellow, stopping in his
flight.
Then too the other small boys
about volunteered to bet with the
tipsy man.
He might have made the bets but
for a friend who came out of the res
taurant just then. The friend knew
the game and dragged his man away.
Just a plant to get a bet down.
Then the big fellow will lick him
and take the money. They split" he

NEW LAW WILL
PROTECT TIMBER.
Louisiana Would Prevent Cutting
Of Trees Less Than Twelve
inches in Diameter

II the Legislature of Louisiana
passes the forestry law proposed by
the Governor of that State, and said
to have the support of the largest tim
Der owners, it will be the most ad-
vanced step yet taken by any State
to regulate timber cutting on private
lands.
By the terms of the proposed
statute, the cutting of trees under
twelve inches in diameter, four feet
from the ground, will not be per-
mitted. The law does not apply to
those who in good faith wish to clear
the land for agricultural purposes,
or who need the timber on the
ground for roads or bitches, or in the
case of an owner or tenant who uses
the wood for domestic purposes.
The lumberman will be required to
feE his trees in a way to cause the
least damage to young timber, and the
refuse must not be left where its
presence will invite fire or otherwise
endanger the small trees. The pen
ally plOEiuCu lOi VI thC
proposed law is fine of s25 to 500
for each offense, and Imprisonment
may be added Each tree wrongfully
cut will constitute separate offense.
The proposed law not only delimits
offenses and names penalties. but also
sets forth the reasons why such law
is thought advisable.
Timber is becoming scarce, it says,
and ought not to be needlessly vast
ed. Forest destruction will carry
With it other evils besides dearth of
wood. 1t will cause destruction, soil
erosion and increase floods and

Division of Time.

Though the fundamental division
of time, the day, appears intuitive to
most persons, it Is we'll to remember
that In the arctic regions the marking
of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
sun is either always below or always
above the horizon, and the only
method-a very uncertain one - of
distinguishing between day and night
is to observe the times of high and
low tide. Division of time into
months comes from the motions of
the moon. Malays, Polynesians and
Australian aborigines reckon time ex-
clusively by months and days.
That greater unit of time, the year,
characterized by the regular success
sion of the seasons, has presented the
greatest difficulties to exact determin-
alton, partly because the seasons are
not sharply distinguished in some re-
gions, partly because of the universal
desire to establish among the year,
month and day simple relations which
find no support in the facts Of astron-
omy.
Inhabitants of Venus, If there are
any, must find it extremely difficult
to establish units of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sun; so the planet has no day, and
the lack of moon deprives it of a
month. Finally, it has no year, for
its axis of rotation is perpendiucular
to the plane of its orbit, and the lat
ter is almost ircular.-Chicago News.

memoirs:
"There was in Europe at one time

never discovered, and it was COM

colonist. Thence he escaped into
Korea and took ship for San Fran
cisco, where he posed as contractor
for the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
In 1895 he beat his way to Chicago,
and there he was soon arrested for
larceny. He wriggled out Of that and
came to New York, where he was ar

Tenderloin cabby. The Russian Con-
sui General made a statement in
which he denounced the "count" as
an imposter, and the count challenged
the Consul-General to a duel as soon
as he should be released.
He was acquitted in General Ses-
sions. The Consul-General laughed
at his challenge and in 1900 he was
again arrested in Chicago on charge
OF circulating 100000 worth Of

only $3S in his clothes when arrested.
His wife had returned to France
while he was in the Canadian peniten-
tiary. The Canadian Government had
had enough Of him and didn't apply
for his extradition, so he was re-
leased.
In 1903 he was arrested in Lisbon
and again turned over to the Russian
authorities, against the protest Of
Germany, which wanted him for a
number OF frauds in that country.
He was started off for Siberia again
for writing letters to various people
from the Emperor William down, es-

Bremen and taken back to Russia
At this time he had $4,000 in his
