disease brought to this continent
originally by African slaves, and
from which probably over one-half
Of the population of the southern
states is suffering. We know that the
tropics were not always infested with
disease. Torquemada, writing from
Yucatan centuries ago, said. Men
die here of pure old age, for there
are none of those infirmaties that
exist in other lands" But with the
coming of the white man and the
negro, and the importation of dis
eases from other countries, Mexico
and Central America became hotbeds
of tropical fevers. The progress of
modern sanitary science, however,
justifies the belief that the tropics
may in time regain their lost position.
Already in Cuba and in Panama the
possibility of eliminating tropical
diseases has been shown. 1t is only
a matter of time until the same meth
DDS used in those countries will be
given worldwide application. When
this has occurred, will the tropics re-
sumo their old position as the cradles
of civilization? Col. Gorgas prophe-
sizes that, as soon as preventable dis
eases have been wiped out, 1t will be
possible for the tropics again to be-
come the seat of great civilizations.
This suggestion opens up an unlim-
tied opportunity for speculation as to
the effect on civilization of the con-
troll and extinction of contagious dis
easesA

HOUSING REFORM NEEDED.

After reading the first annual report
of the tenement house committee Of the
Brooklyn bureau of charities, ex- -Presi-
dent Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, ac-
cordiDg to The Survey, writes as fol-
lows to the president:
Bad housing is the Fundamental
evil in all cities, for it develops many
physical and moral evils. 1t is the
mein problem not only of large cities
like Brooklyn, but Of small cities ike
Cambridge.
AT this moment in Cambridge, three
family houses are being rapidly erect
ed with no more land about them than
is sufficient for passage on foot; and
they are mostly of ffimsy construction
in wood. The rent of a fla. in these
houses is higher than that of an in
dependent house with a garden was in
Cambridge 80 years ago. This kind OF
dwelling obIiges its occupants to have
almost all their recreations outside the
dwelling, in the streets, theaters, sa-
looms. and other public places. An i'm
mense change in family life is conse-
quently going on in all our urban pop
ulation. These three deckers look tidy
when new; but since they are cheapIy
built for immediate sale they soon
deteriorate.

Dear tranquil Habit. with her silent
hands,
Doth heal our deepest wounds from day
to day.
With cooling. soothing oil, and firmly
lay
Around the broken heart her gentle hands.
Her nursing is as calm as Natures care:
She doth not weep with us; yet none the
less
Her quiet fingers weave torgetfulness-
We fall asleep in peace when she is there
Upon the mirror of her mind her breath
Is like cloud, to hide the fading trace
OF that dear smile, OF that remembered
face,
Whose presence were the Joy and pang of
death.
And he who clings to sorrow overmuch,
Weeping for withered grief, has cause
to bless
More than all cries of pity and dis
tresS-
Dear tranquil Habit, thy consoling touch!

COME TO TOPEKA.

Topeka is getting ready to entertain
on September II to 16 the banner
crowd for size that has ever gathered
in the capital city of Kansas, or in any
other locality in the state for that
matter. And there's a reason.
All doubt has been removed. There
can be no skeptics on the proposition
that Topeka is going to stage during
the dates mentioned the most compre-
sensive agricultural exhibition that has
ever been presented in the Sunfiower
state. 1t is going to be q real state
fair, of proportions that will be larger
even than the Nebraska state fair, an
old and established institution of this
sort that has been receiving state aid
for years. Thus far the Topeka fair
has been built up solely through the
private means of Topeka business men
and the generosity of the people of
Shawnee county in voting $4,000 Of
public moneys for Improvements on
the fair grounds.
And these improvements compare
more than favorably with similar ones
even at the oldest and largest state
fair plants scattered throughout the
entire country. The cattle and horse
pavilions and the fine arts hall, ce-
ment buildings constructed in mission
style, are in a class by themselves as
exhibition buildings. Modern pens for
hogs and sheep and new horse barns
without number also have their place
on the grounds. In fact the equipment
on the grounds could not be beaten
and is superior in eevry way to any
similar equipment on any other fair
grounds in Kansas.
1t is this equipment, and the $4o,
900 in premiums and prizes that have
been offered, which have attracted so
many and such high class exhibits to
the fair. No finer exhibits will be
seen at any fair in the country in every
class that goes to make a fair what it
ought to be. And if the Topeka fair
of this year does not impress upon the
members of the next legislature that
1t is the most valuable nucleus extant
for the creation of an actual state fair,
which will be supported and developed
by the state. and also that Topeka is
the logical location for such q fair,
then the members of the legislature
will be beyond convincing.
With horse races. Liberatis band, a
big fireworks display nightly. carnival
shows worth while and many other at
fractions, there will be plenty of added
amusements for the crowds besides the
interesting agricultural exhibits. and
many special exhibits of the unusual
sort. As q series of climaxes. there is
to be a big public ball in Topeka on
Monday night, September II. On
Tuesday night there will be the big
Semi Centennial float parade with
parties of girls from a dozen Kansas
localities to lend distinction to the
floats. And Friday night the Karnival
Knights are to make merry with big
celebration.
No wonder the crowds are coming
to Topeka on September II to 16.

CIvTLrzATTON AND TROpICs.

1t has long been believed that trop-
ical regions are unsuited to higher
civilization. and that more rigorous
conditions are needed for progress.
The present-day distribution of civ
ilization would seem to support this
view. With few exceptions, our most
progressive communities are located
in temperate regions. and until re-
Gently any invasions of the tropical
regions by northern civilization have
either suffered rapid decline. or have
been kept alive only by constant re-
Inducements. Yet this superiority
of the colder regions has not always
existed. Civilization originated in
tropical countries. as history will
show. What is the reason for the
change of the seat Of civilization to
the temperate zone? According to
the Journal of the American Medical
Association. which discusses this
question in a recent editorial. the
probable explanation lies in the de-
velopment of tropical diseases, and
the subsequent enervatiOn and de-
terioration of tropical races. We
know that malaria was introduced in
to Greece and Rome by African
lslaves. In our own country we have

Our patent Laws.

The people of the United States are
the foremost in the world for their IN
ventive skill, and Connecticut stands
first of all the states in inventions. No
body can say how much our national
inventiveness has done for the material
progress of the nation, or how much
our laws protecting patents have done
for developing our inventive skill 1t
is the reward that the law offers that
furnishes much of the stimulus.
It is true that moncpolies have
grown up around certain patents, but
that is the very essence OF the patent
llaw. It gives rights of possession to
the inventor and those rights are his
incentive and his reward. OF course,
the antimonopoly spirit has turned
against the patents as VI ell as toward
lmonopolfes that are built up regardless
of the law. In the present congress
a lot Of bills have been offered with
the purpose of crippling or limiting the
rights of patents.
One provides that anv patent held
by any business or enterprise conduct
ed contrary to the laws of the United
states shall be void It would seem as
if any business being conducted con-
trary to the laws of the United States
should be tackled in itself and not
through its possessions. For instance,
an inventor may have assigned his
rights to a corporation which is found
to be unlawful. 1t might be required
to give back the patent TO its discover
er, but destroying the patent itself
would be furnishing the inventor and
not the trust Another provides that
after a patent has had its run of seven
teen years or so the patentee must
make a showdown of his profits. and
it cannot be renewed If ne shows suffi-
cient profits from the first term. An
other provides a heavy fin7 ($5,0O0)
for any holder of a patent that makes
1t a condition of use that the user shall
not use certain other machines or in
ventions.
One Of the most radical is Senate
bill 21116, which provides that any
body who wishes may use any patent,
If he wants to.merely paying the holder
of the patent whatever the commits
sioner of patents may prescribe as an
adequate compensation
How far congress viii incline to go
in restrictions of this sort is yet uncer-
tain, but. If 1t knocks o1t the impulse
to invent. it will hit the whole country
q hard blow. Whatever monOpoiies
may have developed under patents. It
is nevertheless true beyond contradic-
tion that the country has benefited inn
mensely by our patent laws as they
stand.-Hartford Courant.
