1t is reported that letter mailed In

H., went TO the island Of Greenland
and came back to the sender marked
Unknown in Greenland" This re-
Ia In nf fUn
years ago, when letter posted In
Manchester, n. H., for a person in
Canton, Mass, went TO Canton, China,

The revival Of long distance foot

There having been some question as
TO why at times the ball on the Ames
building is not hoisted to the top OF
the pole, the officer In charge Of the
photographic Office whence this ball
is operated, states that the diameter
Of the ball is four feet, that of the
pole is four inches, and the pole Is
Al feet above the roof
When the wind is not too strong the
ball is hoisted to the top of TIE pole,
but with a wind of 20 to 80 miles or
more it can easily be seen that the
strain on the pole would be very Sc
we're; hence on such days the ball is
not raised more than two thirds OF
the total hoist.
Half a dozen men and women, evi-
IDENTIFY strangers in Boston, were rid
ing through Warren street in an auto
mobile the other afternoon when one
Of them asked as to the identity of
the statue of General Joseph Warren.
"0h, that is a statue of Washington"
replied one of the occupants. mo,
think it is Paul Revere" said an
other. The auto was going so swift
iy that no one had been able to read
the name inscribed upon the monu-

of Dudley and WarISn streets the
auto was held up for a few minutes

women asked a policeman whose statue

Warren" said the officer. Il knew
1t wasn't Washington or Revere" re-

But why didn't any Of us guess Gen
eral Warren before?"
Massachusetts leads the world in the
eight for the suppression of tuberculo-
sis was the assertion of DR.. Arthur T.
cabot at the Harvard Medical school
recently. Nowhere else in the world
Is the medical profession so thorough
ly organized to combat the great white
plague.
Our present laws on the subject of
tuberculosis are ample, he said, but
need public support for their proper
enforcement. The attitude of the pub
lie proved a great help to physicians
and authorities in subduing smallpox,
yellow fever, scarlet fever and other
infectious diseases, and If the same
attitude is taken regarding tuberculo-
sis, the control of that disease will be
easier.
tuberculosis, he stated, causes more
deaths annually than all the infectious
diseases combined, but owing 10 the
fact that it is a much slower disease,
