OccupationaI Diseases.

As Is well known. nearly every trade
or occupation has its own peculiar at
lection OF disease, from which those
who follow that occupation are likely
to suffer Familiar examples are those
of the glass-blowers, the painters. the
printers in the days of hand compost
ton. and the writer's cramp Of the
bookkeepers. While the medical pro-
fession has long had a knowledge Of
these diseases and has been interested
in their treatment. there appears to
have been a lack of systematic inyesti-
CATION of the conditions which cause
the diseases, with a view to Eodifica-
ton and prevention In Illinois the
legislature some time ago authorized
the appointment Of commission
which has been making an exhaustive
study Of the so-called occupational dis
eases and OF the conditions under
which they occur. but the commission
has found the subject so vast that it
has asked the present legislature for
two years more in which to complete
its investigation and prepare its re-
port.

STEAMER COMES NEAR
TURNING TURTLE AT PIER
Deckload OF Lumber Causes the Veras-
ton to Do Dangerous Stunts at
Sewall's Point Pier.

The British steamer Veraston, OF
West Hartelpool narrowly escaped
turning turtle. while loading bunker
coal yesterday morning at the coal
pier of the Virginian Railway at Sew
ali's Point. The Veraston Is en- route
from st. John, New Brunswick to RIO
de Janiero, with a cargo of deal lum-
Der. The lumber in the deck load
was piled SO high that it rendered
her rather unstable and when the
coal was dumped suddenly into the
starbcird bunker she listed dangerous
" 10 that side.
When ali attempt was made TO right
the vessel by filling the starboard
bunker, on the side of the ship next
to the wharf. she listed suddenly 10
that side and but for the support ac-
corded her hull by the pier and the
lines holding her TO il, she would have
turned turtle.
On the pier 1t was stated yesterday
afternoon that the captain had gone
to Norfolk to attempt to dispose OF
part of the deck load and arrange
for the unloading of them, so that the
vessel would be more seaworthy.
