The COMPASS In China.

1t is generally admitted that the
Chinese used the compass at very
early period to guide them in their
journeys across the vast plains OF
Tartary. They made little images
the arms of which, moved by free
ly suspended magnet, pointed con-
tinually toward the north. An ap-
paratus of this kind was presented
TO ambassadors from Cochin China
to guide them on their homeward
journey some 1,lOO years before the
Christian era. The knowledge thu:
possessed seems gradually to have
Travelled westward by means of the
Arabs, though it was over 1900
years afterward before it was gen
orally applied among the peoples o.
western Europe.

poignant modification. Twenty

which were the delight of grisettes,

to add, "The best Of he business

Church encouragement Of Sport.

Ecclesiastic recognition has been
given the sport of skeeing in Nor
way in the special short, early serv-
ices held in all the churches during
the season for the convenience of
skeers. These services are called
skeeing prayers, and stranger COM
ing into the sacred cdifces on such
an occasion might think he had
blundered into the barracks of a
skee corps. However, the services
are much liked and very well at
tended, and there is no difference of
opinion about the wisdom Of the
church authorities in thus encour-
aging a sport making so strongly
for healthy bodies and therefore GO
ing a long way toward making
healthy souls.-Outing

NO RACE SUICIDE THERE.
Upward and Deaths Decrease
New Record Made.

New York-New York city, according
to the report Of the department Of
health, is blessed with the lowest death
rate in more than 100 years. In the
matter of births and marriages the re-
port upsets the race suicide theory. 1t
is shown that more persons have been
married and more births recorded
within the last six months than ever
before.
The report covers period from Janu-
airy to June 30, 1905, and shows that the
death rate has diminished from 2224
per cent to 1923 per cent. per 1000, as
compared with the corresponding period
last year This calculation is made on
an estimated population of 3.93S,O00.
The census returns of the department
Of health indicate much larger popula-
ton. which will give crude death rate
Of about Is and corrected rate Of a lit

SOLDIER DEATH RATE IS HIGH

-ealth Report Of Surgeon General

: in Better Condition Than Ours
Improvement Shown

Washington. - Surgeon General II.
M. O'Rielly, OF the army, has submitted
an exhaustive report on the health con-
ditions OF the army to the secretary OF
war. The report says that the sick and
death rate is higher than those OF all
other armies. The strength OF the army
as shown upon the monthly sick reports
was 58,74O, and on the returns OF the
military secretary G0,139, and calcutta
tons are made up on the latter figures.
There we're 1856 admissions to the
sick report" during the year, 406 deaths
from all causes and 1877 discharges for
disability. The figures, he says, show
a steady and progressive Improvement
in the health Of the army.
"As to causes of death, said Surgeon
General O'Reilly, pneumonia advanced
to first place and tuberculosis second.
There were 206 admissions for gun
shot wounds, with "A deaths, and 2,S5o
admissions for wounds other than gun

were killed in action and AZ wounded; OF
the killed two were by gunshOt; OF the

Deaths"
Comparisons with foreign armies
show that the highest rate Of admissions
is in the American army and the lowest
in the Russian. The highest death rate
was in the American army and the low.
est in the Prussian. The highest non
effective rate was in the American army
and the lowest in the Prussian. Regard
ing these facts Gen. O'Reilly says:
The very high proportion for alco
holsm in the American army as com
pared with that of the British is partly
due to the fact that in the latter service
only admissions to hospitals are
counted.
THE comparatively high American
death rate for tuberculosis is explained
by the fact that in the United States
army tuberculosis patients are sent to {
slnitarium and retained in service TO
long periods. while in other armies the,
are promptly discharged. The high ad
mission rate is no doubt due to the pres

The strength of the army In the Phil

admissions to the sick report and 10

troops was 4610 and there were 5,24

ADVANCE OF MEDICINE.

The struggle against various di-
seases which has been waged since
the beginning of history at last
seems in fair way to be success
full 1t has only been waged with
intelligence for about thirty years, but
the progress made in that time indi-
Gates that other and greater successes
are about to be made.
The causes of many diseases tina
used to be considered incurab!s:. such
as small pox, typhus fever and yellow
fever have been discovered; and in
most cases a sure preventive has been
worked out. One of the great scourses
OF the world. tuberculosis. the great
white plague is being conquered
slowly With improved sanitation the
mortality of this sickness has been
reduced greatly, and late develop
ments. in the struggle against it in
dicates that in a few years it will
be almost entirely. eliminated. The
matter of curing diseases. has followed
right on the heels of the discovery of
the cause of the disease. The cure
is never discovered until there is full
knowledge of the cause.
Only prolonged and united efforts
can accomplish a cure for any of the
great disease scourges of the world.
The time is coming when tuberculosis,
infantile paralysis, and others that at
present battle the physicians, will be
as easily cured as small poX now is.

ley to organize course OF lectures
in the capitol for the benefit of legis-
lators, to be delivered by the superin-
tendents of the various state institu-
Itions-punitive, charitable and educa-
tional. There have not been so many
opportunities to congratulate Cover
nor Hadley on the wisdom of his
plans that we can afford to overlook
any.
Just one weak place in the scheme
presents itself to our view. How can
the attendance of the members of
the legislature be assured? Suppose
these gentlemen stand ON their con.
stitutional rights and stay at home,
what then? It is not simply the old
difficulty of making the horse drink
after he has been led to water; how
in this instance, is the leading to
water to be managed? In the words
of Brutus when speaking at the fun.
eral of c. julius Caesar, we pause for
a reply.
But in all seriousness, if the gov,
ernor can solve successfully the prob
lem of an attendance upon such gath
erings he will deserve the thanks OF
every citizen of the state. Much bad
