offered by the Smithsonian Institution
Tor the best treatise on THE Relation Of
Atmospheric Air to tuberculosis" the
money being taken from the Hodgkins
fund. one of the most unique donations
ever made in the United States. Thomas
George Hodgkins Of Setauket. n. Y, a
great fresh-air enthusiast, was deter
mined that mankind should appreciate
the benefits Of air, and to that end he Of
fered the Smithsonian Institution in 1891
the sum Of 500. OOO the interest on $780,
600 to be used by the Institution for its
general purposes provided that the in
terest on 100000 be used in investigation
of the properties Of atmospheric air as
considered in its very evident relation
ship to all branches Of science. The offer
was accepted. and hence the institution
has had funds for experiments in aero
nautics under the broad scope Of the do
nation. But hygiene is as important a
Dranch or science as Is aerial navigation,
and the atmosphere has an equally i'm
pOrtant relation to both sciences.
Hippocrates. the father Of medicine,

losis to be deprived Intentionally Of
the very element that did him the most
good. Mankind made no new discov-
cry when the present reversion to the
open-air mode of living was recon-
mended to those threatened with con-
sumption. Nevertheless, the reversion
