Tuberculosis in Syria.

The medical missionaries are doing great deal
in all parts of the orient have their hospitals
everywhere on this trip around the world They are
to be found in all parts of India far up the Nile valley
and in the leading centers of the Holy Land One OF
the best have visited is situated at Tiberias on the
Sea of Gaiee, being headed by DR.. Terrence who has
been treating the Bedouins others there for the
last thirty In talking with him the question OF
tuberculosis up and he described the evils of the
great white plague as they found in his region
the very edge of the desert He says tuberculosis
rife among the BedOuns, although they live out of
doors and in the purest of air all the time He
thinks that the disease is largely distributed by the
cattle About so per cent OF the COWS have tubercu
losis, and the people live chiefly milk
Another doctor connected with that hospital tells
me that Syria had no consumption until about twenty
five ago, when the disease brought in from
the United States by natives who had emigraed tn
our country, contracted consumption and brought il
back home. The Syrans had idea what it meant
and it rapidly spread The sanitary conditions of this
part of the world bad the bacteria breed rapidly
and the disease is sweeping the country.

Sydney Johnston's army in 1857, and G. NJ. Dodge
in L. p. surveys and Indian campaigns, 1866
Piquant gmpses of the himself, however,
are captured for by Edwin l. sabin, writing in
Recreation New York. We learn that, while still
young man, Bridgers qualities him the honorary
appellation, "Old Jim" that when he discovered
Great Salt lake and tasted its water he concluded
that it of the Pacific ocean and that
while not the discoverer OF the Yellowstone National
park he and his companion Joe Meek the first

their accounts of the wonders of the Yellowstone

Bridger in his earnestness, tried too hard de-
scribe the sights, and failed because over-vivid Joe
Meek, his comrade for many busy year, was more
prosaic He rather suspected that he had discovered
hell; but being frozen at the time welcomed the
change in climate, and uNuriatod in the hot ground

of the great influences in the work of the world 1t
not long since the students who believe in Moham-
med struck against these regulations. They refused
to go to chapel and took oath not to attend the
Bible classes The strike created sensation and for
time it seemed as though it might do serious
damage The faculty, however headed by the presi-
dent, DR.. Howard S Bliss, insisted saying that the
school was a Christian college, They demanded that
all students attend the religious services, and
the result that most of the strikers came in and
the college has gone along it's original lines
In talking about this to of the Mohammedan
students DR.. Bliss said:
Our college was established to give the Mohamme-
dan world the best that the Christian world has Our
aim is to make of you broad-minded intelligent men
