plague which have so recently swept over the whole world. starting in cen tral China and travelling from east to west It need hardly be added that mo- tineation of communicable diseases and public provision for their isolation arc entirely lacking in China; proper sani- tary administration by local or cen- tral authorities has yet to be estab- lished Sometimes the first intlmation that the foreigner in China receives of the presence of epidemic smallpox in his locality is by meeting eonvalescents in the streets with the marks of their recent illness still visible upon their faces.
 But there arc indications at the,pres- ent moment that sweeping changes are about to take place, and the great awakening of the Chinese nation now in process is likely to be followed by marked improvements in the medical treatment of the sick as well as in the prevention of disease generally. The educated Chinese are fully aware of the great superiority of western med teal and surgical methods, and dur ing the recent revolutionary riots some of the lower classes had also occa- sion to view very favorably the surgi- cal assistance given to them by the foreign medical men.
 The number of qualified medical men in China with European or American training is on the increase. Several medical schools with foreign professors have been set up in various places for the purpose of educating suitable na- tives in the science and practice of modern medicine and surgery.

frlghten away the malignant spirits likely to give rise to mischief.
 When the native practitioner attemps to treat disease with medicinal reme- dies these are often derived from strange sources and sometimes they are even of disgusting description. Hitherto great difficulties have been en- countered by Europeans when trying 10 ob tain trustworthy information regard ing the incidence of disease and nor tality In different parts of China, there being no arrangements for the certifica- tion and registration of the causes of death. The only way we understand, in which any undue mortality in a local ity can be estimated is by ascertaining from the local undertakers how many coffins they have sold within given period and comparing that with the number vended in normal times.
 But this method may be found far from accurate, since 1t is known that the jealous coffin maker upon occasion, fearing that his craft is in danger, pur- posely falsifies his figures In order to mislead the foreigner. Epidemics of dangerous infectious disease have not in the past been without injury to coun- tries having close commercial relations with China, to which country also the origin of some pandemics has been traced.
 As instances of this we may cite the two great pandemics of influenza and

involved the wanton spending of mill lions upon millions of dollars of dirty money. From that moment he was made the active lieutenant of MT. Rogers and gradually the hard work of the Rogers Stillman- Rock efeller combine was in trusted to him. He was one of the first to realize that if the Amalagamated combination did not cntrench itself by buying or acquiring possession of as many low cost copper mines as could be secured it would have to take 6 back seat. During the half dozen years that followed the settlement of the Heinze muddle in Montana Ryan ob- tained control for account of the Amal- gamated party of enormously valuable low cost copper miles in Arizona and Mexico. During the progress of these negotiations Ryan made several trips to Europe, and so impressed the Roths- chiIds with his sagacity. broad judg- ment and ability that he was taken into close alliance by them. Next the Gug- genheims came within the sphere of his hypnotic influence. and now the three great groups of copper producers are working in harmony. Incidentally, also, controlling interests in the Lake Superior region saw the value of work ing in harmony wit hthe Ryan policies.

Changes in Chinese Medicine

FrOm ne NFW I UTk SU1T.
 Chinese medicine may be regarded to some extent as a survival of the Dark Ages, much of 1t being based upon be- lief that all diseases are due to su- pernatural causes and are mainly oc- casioned by offended evil spirits which the native practitioner seeks to propiti- ate or drive off by charms. incanta- lions or other devices.
 Even at the present day In some localities the natives may still be found burning large quantities of gold and silver paper along with incense in the hope of averting, for example. threat ened invasion of their homes by cholera, plague, or smallpox; or firing guns and beating gongs or cymbals in order to

 A curious story Is told by the Tsar himself of an episode that occurred dur ing his visit to Queen Victoria at Bal moral many years ago. When out one day in Ballochbuie forest he asked his way of q gllie, who. to his surprise, answered him in Russian. On inquiins what he was doing in the wilds of Scotland the man informed the Tsar that he was member of the Russian secret police and was there to watch over the safety of his imperial mas ter.

The status of the labor situation is not quite as favorable as 1t might be. although headway has been made for permanent peace between employers and workmen. This is a matter which takes time for adjustment of the many points involved. Patience. tact and d bi ioad understanding of the confusing and conflicting interests al stake must be had by those who are in charge of the negotiations. The best men of both interests are engaged on the task and there Is fair reason to believe that the radicals and irreconcilabIes will not be permitted to dominate enough uncertainty, however, to keep the mar ket more or less disturbed. away in the back ground and to prevent some of the big men of the financial world from committing themselves too hevily. They are still cautious in action and advice.

The cultivated soil is a medium in
which many species OF bacteria and
fungi survive from year to year. The
public is familiar with the doctrine OF
bacterial infection or incubation OF
the soil in its relation to the nodules
or tubercles Of clover, alfalfa, soy
beans, cowpeas and other cultivated
plants.
One form of bacterium is not suf-
ficient for both clover and alfalfa.
This flora of the soil both in relation
to bacteria and fungi Of considerable
range OF species, is enriched by the
applications Of manure and by the
practices of culture: by this is meant
that the growing of a given crop a
second time or third time conse5u-
lively in the soil Increases the prob
ability that the plant roots remaining
In the soil are carried over from one
crop to the next together with root
parasites which cause disease in the
plants of this crop. Manifestly, like
wise. II in preparation for a given
crop to be grownffor the first time
upon the land, rather liberal applica-
tons are made OF fresh stable manure
containing spores or mycelium, more
especially the resting forms of myce-
lium called sclerotia, the soil will be
come infected by this manurial appll.
cation.
While this source of infection is
rather rare in field culture there are
specific examples az I'm the scab dis
ease of potatoes transmitted in this
way; the scab of sugar beets may be
carried in like manner But in fore
Ing house culture where heavy appli-
cations of manure are made, the
chances are greatly increased that soil
Infection will be produced from the
manure.
