OPEN AIR SCHOOLS INCREASE
sixty-Five Places Instituted for Chill.
dren AFFLICTED With TubercuIo-
sis Since January, 1907.

New York.-Since January /, 1907.
Go open air schools for children af.
flicted with or predisposed to tubercu-
losis have been established in 2S cit.
les. according to an announcement
made in a bulletin issued recently by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis.
The first open air school In the
United States was established in jan
OF Providence. X. l.. at the instance Of
DIR. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established In May Of the same
year at Pittsburg. a third one at Bos-
ton in July. 1908, and the fourth at
Bellevue hospital In New York In De-
cember, 1908. During the year 1909
ten schools in FIVE different cities were
opened: In 1910. 16 schools In IL cit.
les were opened; and eight schools In
five cities have been opened to April
/. 1911, while definite provision has
been made for 81 more schools In six
cities. Many cities are considering
the question and will act during the
coming year.
New York city now has in operation
l2 open air schools and classes. and
definite provision has been made for
IA similar classes to be opened by
next fall. Boston has five open air
classes In its schools, and Chicago also
has several.
According to reports received by the
National Association. the result of the
open air class work has been to re-
store most of the children to normal
health and efficiency. One OF these
open air schools or classes should be
established for each $4,000 popula.
ton, especially In cities.

Instead Of $4,000 Skins Annually Yield
In eehrlns Sea Does Not Exceed
More Than 1000.

st. Petersburg.-In accepting the
American proposal to hold a seal fish,
cry conference in Washington. the
Russian government appears to be ami
mated by a somewhat belated desire to
repair the mistake committed at the
Behring sea conference in not indoors
Ing the 60-mile limit The result has
been that the seal rookeries in the
Commander islands are rapidly becom.
ing exhausted.
These fisheries are leased to a Rus
sian company under a contract which
expires this year. The substance OF
the report drawn up by the Official sent
by the government to report upon the
condition of the rookeries is as fol
lows:
Whereas. formerly 10000 to $4,000
skins were obtained annually, the pres
ent yield does not exceed 1000. Even
this number is attained only by the
slaughter Of a fair proportion OF young
females. This procedure is necessary.
since the killing of Of the males is
already leading to a decline In the
number Of brood seals"
The conclusion arrived at is that
unless some measures are taken to
put a stop to pelagic sealing 1t would
be best to kill of the whole herd.
Although pelagic sealing has dimin-
ished the stock in the Pribyloff islands.
the enforcement of the 60-miles limit
has enabled the Americans partially
to cope with the evil. The main and.
indeed. the only offenders. appear to
be the japanese. Although Japan has
not recognized the 60-mile limit. Amer

Corners. In the waters around the
Commander islands Japanese poach-
ers. although frequently fired upon by
the alert guards, commit incessant dep
relations. and boldly come inshore

the prospects of putting an end to this

RESTORING A LOST MEMORY

Doctor Brown began by suggesting

to be identified with his life before he
lost knowledge Of past events. On
the fourth treatment, Macrae exclaim-
ed: Everything is coming back: q
whole mass OF things. remember

feel as though I were coming out of Q
dream"
Doctor Brown does not use the word
"hypnotism" In his treatment. which
is introduced by an apparatus he calls
the horoscope. by means Of which he
suspends the influence Of the con-
scious state. II is a small black mask
fitted on a spectacle frame. There are
no eyeholes, but two white dots where
the eyes should be. The patient has
to concentrate his attention on these
white dots. and think Of nothing else.
And the two white dots become ons.
1T limits the ideas to oneness"
Doctor Brown explained. The pa
tient becomes SO sick Of oneness that
his consciousness falls into allegiance.
He Is conscious. but does not want to
be bothered with anything: he makes
no active thought or active muscular
action-just as when you frst awake
In the morning. And In the subcon.
scious state your senses arc far more
alert than In the active: tho faculties
are six times more alert"
