More even than sailors, before the
days of steamships, who had to de-
pend upon the wind for the success of
their voyages and had to watch the
weather for their lives, the men who
manipulate flying machines must be
students of the air currents, the skies,
the signs of storms. The more this
young century interests itself with
the navigation of the air the more it
will learn, perforce, about the great
Invisible enveloping fluid which sur
rounds the globe. The airships and the
aeroplanes are going to make this
generation the first in weather lore of
all that have felt the power of the
winds and the perils of the fury of the
elements.

The bureau of zoology of the state
department of agriculture has recent
~ issued an admirable and novel bull.
letin on the subject of plant pest treat
ment. In few pages comparatively
are condensed a very comprehensive
list of the commoner ills plants are
heir to. Then another list gives the
appropriate treatment. while a third
tells the most effective time to do
the work. These three schedules are
connected by cross references so that
they are made easily available to any
one. In most cases the grower knows
only too we'll what is the matter with
his crop. If he does not the bureau
invites him to send specimens of az
fected growth securely packed so no
danger of spreading infection or risk
OF damaging by mail may be incurred.

rectly to local agents, who were them
selves responsible for all stamps left
on their hands, and who had to do all
their own advertising besides. This
resulted In great loss to many COM
1~i ttees, some having as many as $780,
600 stamps loft unsold. Last year, IN
1899, an attempt was made to improve
upon the conditions of sale in 1908
Instead of selling the stamps outright
to local agents, the Red Cross fur
nished as many stamps as might be
needed. and charged, according to their
first announcement, 33 Id per cent. OF
the gross proceeds. This percentage
was later reduced to 20 per cent In
return for the 20 per cent. the Red
Cross. besides furnishing the stamps
supplied also varied assortment of
advertising matter to all local agents.
For various reasons, there was an I'M
fortunate multiplication of local
stamps for tuberculosis work in vari-
Gus parts OF the United States and Can
ada last year. No less than seven
State and local stamps, besides the
American Red Cross stamp, were issued
in 1909 but for the most part they net
ted little profit. In Michigan an East
er stamp was issued and in New York
City stamp for the National Associa-
ton for the Prevention OF Mendicancy
met with but little support
The results of last years sales, how
ever show that nearly s250,o00 was
realized from the sale of Christmas
stamps for the ntituberculosis CAM
paign, nearly double the amount in
1905 If to this sum be added the
proceeds of local stamps, the sale in
1909 would be more than double that
in 1908.

opening of Pine Camp this morning.
AS many of the twenty patients as can
be ready will simply be moved into it,
and twenty sources of the spread of
tuberculosis in Richmond will at once
be eliminated. This is only the be-
ginning.
Miss Florence Black will be the
nurse in charge. and DR.. Giles b. Cook
Is to be the chief physician.
Unlike the policy of the state. adj
vanced cases are taken in the Rich
mond camp. Some of these men and
women will not recover, and there is
no ambition to preserve a record of
no deaths, for this cannot be hoped
for But some of them will get well.
and in many others the disease Will
be arrested and life prolonged. But
more than all, the infection will be
partly removed from the city. which
some of these days is going to be
cleaned up of consumption.
Christmas Seals.
At . o'clock this morning 10000
people in the United States will begin
one of the most unique public move

Months of careful work IN Richmond,

fected the arrangement for the SALE
and nothing is lacking to mako the
plans complete.
One hundred million stamps were
manufactured for the sale by the Ma
tional Red Cross Society, millions or
posters ana placards have been print
ed. and thousands of health workers
have given their time to it for months,
In every city of consequence in the
country and in nearly every town.
from five to a thousand people will
begin this morning to sell the stamps
and to urge this great charity upon
the people.
Plans for the sale of the seals in
Richmond have been worked out with
great care by those who have the mat
ter in charge. The Nurses settlement
will ofiiciate in Richmond and will have
more than sixty stations for the sale
of the stamps. Their tables will be all
over the city this morning.
Seventy-fivo localities in Virginia
have undertaken the work. and in most
Of the towns there will be committees
disposng of the stamps Nealy all
of the money realized stays in the
community and in the State, only a
small part going to the National So
work. and every seal is a bullet in the
