THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
How the Great Collection Grew Last
Year.

From the Athenaeum
The annual report of the director and
principal librarian of the British Museum
for last year shows that the number OF
visitors was 739, S37, which was not quite
equal to that of 1908. the year of the
Franco British exhibition, when the ag-
gregate was the highest recorded.
Last year 670.1O4 visited the museum
on week days. the highest figure since
1905: while the Sunday total Of 69,733 is
the highest on record with the exception
of 1905, when SO many foreigners were in
London.
Great progress has been made on the
extension building, the main external
structure having been almost completed
while plans for the internal furniture
and fittings were prepared. As many as
37t,7S2 separate objects of all kinds have
been incorporated in the collections of the
several departments during the year. and

is provided free Of charge. The medical
department of the army consists of hun
dreds of graduate physicians, who are
appointed after competitive eXaminat atoms.
If soldier is only slightly ndisposed he
is treated by the post medical officers
and is furnished with medicine at the
regular dspensares free of charge If
his ailment is more serious he is sent
to a hospital, and the army hospital has
the reputation of being one of the most
sanitary and best conducted in the world.
Humanity owes a vast debt to the
army medical officer. Many of the most
valuable lessons learned by medical
science during the past twenty years
have been taught by him. For instance,
the mosquito theory of the transmission
of yellow fever was proved by a board of
American medical officers consisting of
Drs. Reed. Carroll and Lazear. The
support given them by Gen. Leonard
Wood resulted in the sanitary triumph of
the American occupation of Suba. Later
this work bore fruit in the even greater
achievement of making possible the dig
ging of the Panama canal. The use of
vaccination for the prevention of typhoid
fever was borrowed from the British
army surgeon. but it has been pushed

year Each of these costs approximately
81 cents. For an army of 100000 men
there is required for each days ra-
tions) fifty tons of meat. fifty tons of
bread, fifty tons of potatoes and forty
tons of other food. Experience has taught
that the feeding of an army is one of
the first essentials to its efficiency in the
field. and the War Department is using
every possible facility for insuring good
food for the soldiers in the service.
The recruiting service of the army is
busy one even in times of peace, and if
Uncle Sam does not get good soldiers
it is not because he has lack of appli-
cations for service in the army. In a

fiected by the size of the United states
Army. In the regular army at the pres
ent time. there are 1893 officers and $3.50
enlisted men, which includes the $50 Of
ficers and 5,132 enlisted men composing
the Philippine Scouts. The authorized
strength of the regular army is not to
exceed 1O". 900 men. Both the regular and
the militia regiments maintained on a
peace footing at a little over half war
strength. As the organized militia en-
braces about 10000 officers and men, it
will be seen that it would require re-
serve of about 100000 men to bring all
of the regiments of the regular army and
organized militia up to their war strength
Only about one man to each $50 people
in the United States is numbered in the
organized forces of the American mill
tary establishment. The unorganized
militia consists of more than 16OOO.OoO
men. which embraces every able-bodied
man in the United States between the
