ing up the leyee bank until the tide
has almost reached the top of the per-
manent staging which extends out
from the Diamond 10 lines ware

tistical way. 1t showed at what ages
the tuberculosis victims were
carried away in the largest number;
also that males having tuberculosis

been infected 1t was shown that in
several cases the family had moved
out, leaving the germ behind and in
a short time afterwards the succeed
ing family had been afflicted In

than 10 1907, nevertheless contributed

OF the preceding years, the per cent
for 1909 being Is 5; for 1908, 1872; and
FOR 1907, 1853. Douglas flr was far ia

states during the three years, the pro.
duction from this species constituting

1908, and 6S.5 per cent In 1909. 1t con.
tributed 1912 per cent OF the total pro.
