London, Feb. 2S.-Like the late
Bishop Potter of New York some
years before his death. Bishop Gore of
Birmingham has shocked the eccles-
iastical work by advocating the intro
duction into England of the model sa-
loon, instead of trying the impossible
by forcing the English people to be-
come tee-totallers.
In a sermon the other day Bishop
Gore spoke with admiration of the sa-
looms as he had found them in Spain,
and said, that, in his opinion, England
could do nothing better than introduce
the same kind of public taverns.
He said he had recently visited Bar
celona, and the thing which struck
him as specially delightful was the
public houses.
He sat for long time On several
occasions in an immense room, in
which he supposed there were about
1000 people drawn from all classes.
\ good many of them were mechan-
les, who very often wore their blOuses.
They We're there with their wives and
families, and were drinking all sorts
of things. He asked himself every
time he went to the house: rs not
this sort of place of public resort and
public refreshment and public amuse-
la
DR.. Gore went on to say that he
had been a visitor at this public house
on Sundays and on week days, and
he had not seen or heard or looked on
anything that was not entirely desir-
able. What was there in the nature
of things why we could not have ex-
actly this kind of place of public
amusement and recreation. this kind
of public house, with regard to which
no one would feel the slightest desire
for any Legislation to restrict the lib
erty of women or children or anybody
else to go into it?
At present he was persuaded that
the proportion of people who really set
themselves to obtain actual knowledge
of the things which threaten the social
welfare at the foundation was too
busy. He wanted all citizens to con-
slider it to be their duty to give some
real amount of time to studying the
great and fundamental dangers to our
social life and to remedying them.
In room at the Liverpool univer-
sity sits a man who is enduring some
thing Of the rigOurs of an Arctic eli
mate. Whatever may be the varying
temperature of the tickle English at
mosphere, he is experiencing one
steady, consistent period of cold. In
deed, during the day the temperature
of his room is considerably below
zero. He is victim of the dreaded
tropical disease of sleeping sickness,
and as he is putting to the best prac-
tical test a novel cold-air treatment
for tropical diseases taken in hand
by the Liverpool School of Tropical
terest to the professors of the school,
who have spent years in combating
the baneful effect of blood parasites.
Most of the experiments for fighting
this peculiar sickness have been car
ried out on the spot in the tropics,
and it is not an unreasonable sugges-
ton that if parasites. even when they
have entered the blood of a human be-
ing. are removed from the warm eli
mate where they start their deadly OPP
erations and transferred to climate
of an extremely opposite character,
they may by this simple operation be
annihilated. If the method should
prove successful it would mean the
establishment of huge refrigerators at
all the European stations in tropical
countries in which a victim would be
installed in the early stages of Sleep
ing sickness
