Probably the Oldest t1mbe IN the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found In the an
cient temples Of Egypt In connection
with the stonework, which is known
to be at least 1000 years old. This,
the only wood used In the construction
of the temples, is In the form OF ties
holding the end OF n stone TO anoth-
err. When two blocks were laid In
place an excavation about an inch
deep was made in each block. In which
q tie shaped like an hourglass is driv-
en-. 1t Is therefore very difficult to
! force any stone from its position.

1t is urged in the case OF the cur

that. with us, politics cannot be wholly
excluded from any problem with which
Congress is asked to deal. and must

The Currency Problem.

There is to be discussion Of the cur
rency problem at the meeting of the
National Board Of Trade. The sub
ject is well suited to the occasion, and
should be well handled. Business men
Of large operations and Of all classes
bankers. manufacturers and merchants
arc constantly considering questions
Of values and exchanges, and their
views are important about what should
he done by Congress to bring our cur
rency arrangements up to date.
We are thought to be behind the
times. Opinion is general. both at home
and abroad. that our present laws are
out Of line with the period. Leading
men Of both our parties agree as to
that. and foreign capitalists and
financial writer's agree with them.
But there is no agreement as yet
about what should be done Men Of
large experience and wide reading, who
have gone over the matter singly and
together and investigated every phase
of it. face in different directions about
what remedy Is required.

The Public Health Service

From the New York Medical Journal
In the mass OF reports, suggestions and
recommendations which have been SUBJ
mitted to Congress by the various gov
eminent omcials there appears plea for
the support Of the public health and ma
rine hospital service which assuredly de-
serves the favorable action OF Congress-.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, in his
annual report, refers to the service in
the following words:
Whatever action may be taken by Con-
eress now or hereafter with regard to
tho proposal Of ass0ciating other bureaus
OF the government with the public health
and marine hospital service, 1t is quite
clear that the usefulness OF this service
along the lines Of sanitation and public
health should be continuously developed.
The service has been greatly developed
under the encourag cement Of Congress
and this development should not be in
terrupted. The service is in a condition
to rapidly increase its usefulness and its
value to the nation both on its research
side and on the side Of its administra-
| ton. It should be placed by Congress
where 1t can compete for its personnel
with the other institutions Of the country
which create such an active competition
for the strong men in the professional
| lines it includes. 1t is Of great conse-
quence to the nation that this service
should continue to be manned as ably as
possible. These are considerations en-
tirely detached from the question Of the
organization OF department Of health
or the bringing together Of various bu-
reaus OF the government. The contin-
uous important development Of the pres
emit service would still be as necessary
under a new association Of bureaus as 1t
is now and development now would not
In any way concern these other questions
of organization"
The members OF Congress. to whom
this recommendation was addressed,
should not fail to act on 1t favorably and
give to the service the liberal support
which it SO richly deserves. There is
probably no department or bureau Of the
government service which has so we'll
earned the gratitude Of the public as the
public health and marine hospital serv-
| ice. In the prevention and control Of
epidemics alone 1t has demonstrated its
great public value. and this is but one
OF its manifold activities. which include
the inspection Of immigrants and various
other lines Of work in connection with
the conservation Of the public health.
