homa. now at Arundel Cove. fitting out
for service on Puget sound and adjacent
waters, to her station by way of the
Straits of Magellan, 1t Is probable she
will make the voyage by way of the
SueZ canal.
The cutter will be ready to sail I'm a
few weeks. To send her by way Of the
Straits of Magellan would make her
cruise in the southern hemisphere and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the
middle of winter. when the storms are
frequent and heavy. For this reason the
Suez route Is favorably considered by the
authorities.
If the idea materializes and the ship
goes that way, she will be the second
revenue cutter to go to the Pacific by
the canal. The McCulloch left here by
that route and reached China in time
to be attached to Admiral Dewey's fleet.

ship. While the Gresham is out Of serv-
Ice her cruising grounds will be patrolled
by the cutters from other stations.
The cutter Apache. Capt. Moore, sta

Success of Mercurial Treatment.

Success continues to attend the ex-
detrimental treatment of tuberculosis
with mercury at the naval hospital at
Las Animas. Col The latest reports re-
ceived by the surgeon general of the
navy from Surgeon Wright, who has
been conducting these tests, indicate
that the treatment Is more than was
anticipated for it by the naval surgeons
in their original estimate. compari-
son Of the statistics shows that the ad-
vantage has been entirely in favor OF
those patients who accepted the mer-
curiaI treatment as compared with those
who did not take it. OF the cures, S1.o
per cent of the cases were treated with
mercury. while of those cases described
as markedly improved 100 per cent took
the mercurial treatment. and those who
did not take that treatment failed to
gain marked improvement.
