London, June 1.-THE last fiscal year
has been the most profitable in the his
tory of the suez Canal. The receipts
amounted TO nearly s250OO.0OO. due main
ly to a revival of the Indian trade, not
ably from the ports of Bombay AMI

Thanks to good Indian harvests, the
exports Of wheat and oleaginous grains
OF al sorts were so heavy as TO require
large supplementary tonnage in the
middle of the year. creating remark

the Mediterranean. This category OF
shipping reached the record figure Of
81. coo tons.
Besides, there has been strong de-
mand for freight In Manchuria to meet
an entirely new traffic, the export to
Europe of soya beans. which amounted
to 400 tons. Australia, Japan, Burma.
and Indo-Chna also were large factors in
the increase and the only diminution was
in the trade from the Dutch East Indies

EASE FOR LATE KINGS PETS
Funeral Horse Sent to Paddock to
Spend Last Days.
Little Dog Caesar Is Being Cared
For by Alexandra and Has Rus
sian Dog Companion.

London, June 1.-THE magnificent charg-
er which followed the late King Edward
in the funeral procession through LONDON
performed HIS last work on that day and
has now been sent to the paddock at
Sandringham to end his DAYS in ease.
The horse is one of thes two that carried
King Edward for several years. Owing
to King Edwards weight it was no easy
task 10 find a suitable horse Tor him.
There was an amusing incident at Al
dershot some years ago when by some
omission the Kings charger had not been
sent down for him and he was mounted
on horse belonging to a member Of the
headquarters stan. The animal was not
accustomed TO such a burden and stood
still and declined TO move so long as the
King remained on his back, which was
not very long, for King Edward, laugh
ing heartily, dismOunted and waited for
a more tractable animal.
The little dog Caesar, the Kings pet

Alexandra There was some thought at
first that he would have 10 be killed, as
after his masters death he refused TO
eat for several days. Queen Alexandra
opposed this plan and the attentions of
a veterinary surgeon have restored the
little terrier to health.
Caesar now stays in the apartments OF
the Queen Mother and has made friends
with a Russian wolf hound that is her
constant attendant. Both dogs Will so
to Sandringham before long.

TEST OF BLOOD PRESSURE
London Hospital Student Contrib
utes to Discovery.
Undergoes Ordeal Of Remaining Sus-
pended by HIS Heels, Revealing
Unappreciated Characteristic.

London, June Ito test the pressure
of blood upon the heart OF a student of
the London Hospital voluntarily submitted
himself 10 the ordeal of remaining sus-
pended by his heels for several minutes
al a time from an iron hook fixed In the
ceiling The experiment has resulted
in the discovery Of a hitherto unappre-
eiated characteristic of the human heart.
II has been shown that a healthy heart
nulIifes practically the effect Of gravity
on the blood streams Of the body. Prof
Leonard Hill. who conducted the expert
ments. explains that when a healthy man
stands upright the blood pressure in the
vessels in the neck is about equal to a
column of 100 miilimeters Of mercury
The pressure in the vessels of the lower
leg is much higher, about ls0 mIrlmeters,
on account OF the action of gravity on the
vertical column of blood.
theoretically if a man is turned upside
down the big pressure should therefore
fall TO about l20 millimeters. since gravity
is no longer acting. while the arm and
neck pressure should rise 70 somewhere
about 100 millimeters.
III tue case ol tie inverted student II
was found that although the leg blood
pressure Immediately dropped to about
50. there was no corresponding rise Of
pressure IN the neck and arm vessels.
In other words. the healthy heart has
power 10 adapt itself to any posture We
may assume and yet keep the blood pres
sure in the important parts OF the body.
particularly in the heart and head yes

ity with its great network of large yes
sells is used as a reservoir into which
the blood from the limbs can be poured
so as never to overcharge the heart it.
self or the vessels OF the head and neck
All depends of course on whether the
heart is In a healthy condition. for ex-
pertments on rabbits have shown that the
organ loses It's ability TO regulate auto
matically the blood pressure when the
muscular tissues are lax through want of
exercise.

London. June 1.-THE alterations in the
strong room in the Wakefield tower OF
the Tower of London are nearly complete,
and when the jewel room is reopened
American visitors will find a great change
in the structure and internal fitting. A
fresh stone flooring has been laid and
rev steel grid has been built TO inclose

regalia.
The bars OF this grid are of tempered
steel, placed closer together than the
bars of the old case A hidden electric
alarm OF the latest type has been con-
nected with the new grid, so that If a
bar be wrenched even slightly a gong
sounds its warning through the tower.
Every lock throughout the room has

used in the opening. The iron lined doors
have been strengthened and additional

ARTISTS PLANT FROM ITALY
Practically Barred from Copying
Art in Galleries.
Hint that italian Authorities Have
Adopted settled Policy OF Ex-
clusion of Foreigners.

London. June u.-Some American and
English painters who visit Italy TO study
art complain that the minister Of public
instruction practically prohibits them
from copying works Of art in the pub
lie galleries.
Until few years ago permission to
copy pictures was granted to foreigners
on the simple recommendation of their
consuls. and the result was that many
persons quite untitled to copy crowded
the galleries Of Florence and Rome TO
the Inconvenience of the public and ex-
cluded good copyists from earning their
living.
The minister Of public instruction, n
order to remedy the evil, issued a regula-
ton which required all artists. whether
Italian or foreign, who wished 10 copy
in the galleries of the kingdom TO produce
certificate from a recognized art insti-
tuition. In the case Of foreign artists who
did not belong to academies il was de-
cided TO allow them 10 paint probation
airy copy and 10 debar them from copy
ing only in the case such copy was entire
ly unsatisfactory.
Unfortunately. during the present year
several probationary copies have been
declared unsatisfactory, and some for
eign art students are now convinced that
the Italian authorities have adopted a
settled policy of deliberate exclusion. 1t
is also limited that as many Italian paint
ers make a living from copying old mas
teTs which they sell abroad the authori-
ties are striving to diminish foreign COM
petition in the same class of work.
1t has been calculated that over a thou
sand painters are engaged every year in
copying pictures in the Rome and Flor
ence galleries, and the demand for copies
is so great that f1fty-two artists are watt

London. June 1.-THE reproach Of

ON STRICTLY AMERICAN LINES
II Is Proving a BLESSING to People
from the States who Need Medical
Care and AttentiOn-Aim Is TO
Make 1t seIf-suppOrting-I
Cases Are Barred.

Paris. June n.-If there is one thing
American men and women should bless
their stars, it is the presence of the re-
Gently established American hospital, To-
ward which many of the wealthiest
Americans. including the Vanderbilt fam
lilies. have contributed. Conducted on
strictly American lines, with American
doctors of the highest professional skill.
and with all the latest American saQi-
tary appliances and requirements. it Is
proving a blessing to those Americans In
the French capital who need medical care
and attention.
An uniformed. and perhaps not alto
gether disinterested person. in q letter
to the press recently, undertook to crit
icise the institution because Mrs. Whit
combe. a worthy American woman. who
was Ill. was refused adnlittance as a
patient. for the reason that after her
case had been investigated It was found
that unfortunately she was incurable. IN
view of the limited accommodations Of
the institution, the fact that its financial
obligations must be considered, and the
necessity of restraining the class of pa
tients 20 such as are durable, her case
could not be received.
Object of Hospital
The object of the hospital is TO provide
the best possible medical care and nurs-
ing to Americans. but the management
and faculty decided that if incurable
cases were received there would be no
opportunity to treat those who were
durable, thus largely defeating the aims
and wishes Of IFS founders
While Americans IN Paris have come
forward nobly in the way OF providing
funds for the establishment Of the hos-
pital, ii is recognized that if it is 10 con-
tinue, IL must, as a business proposition
pay its own way; be self-supporting
which it never would do II incurable
cases were received.
Americans in Paris realize what val
liable and welcome aid the new hospital
is TO their suffering men and women
compatriots. That there should be some
slight criticism of the institution. no mat
ter how ably conducted. is but to be ex-
pected. since fault finders. captious crit
les. and unreasonable people are TO be
found the world over.
