HISTORIC DISEASES.

Thirteen years ago a medico-scientifc
body was founded in Germany to deter
mine what those diseases historically men,
toned really were and what their sue
cessors OF to-day may be, together with
their variants. This movement simply re-
CARDS all matter OF historical significance,
however trivial 1t may seem, as worthy Of
careful study, following which there has
come and will continue to come new In
terpretatons and new criticisms. It is now
represented by organized effort in several
countries in Europe. In this connection
THE New York Medical Record" notes that
in the old civilization plaques of animal
origin ragged unheeded because Of Ignorance
of hygiene; that most Of the diseases origi-
mating in animals were prevalent In remote
epochs, when men shared their houses, not
with cats and dogs alone, but with all the
domestic animals to a degree hardly con-
ceivable to-day.
Now II is established that bubonic plague
is disease primarily OF rats. The plague
OF ancient Athens has been compared with
modern typhus. Erysipelas in ancient and
medieval times was the disease now COM
monty associated with cattle and sheep and
variously termed anthrax, splenic FEVER

that our knowledge OF the beginnings OF

NAVY Y. M. C. A. POPULAR
Yearly Report Shows Large At
tendance of Sailors.

All over the world there are many olHer-
ent kinds Of institutions intended to aid In
lettering the conditions of sailors. both oi
the mercantile and war branches, but there
Is probably not a single institution among
them all which is so far reaching and so
beneficial TO sailors as the Navy young
Mems Christian Association.
That branch maintains a building near
the navy yard in Brooklyn which Is for
the convenience Of the enlisted men Of the
naval and marine corps when away from
their ships. The building was erected
through the Joint gift Of SS5O,00O by Miss
Helen Gould and Mrs Russell Sage. The
report submitted for the last year shows
that the use Of the building has increased
80 per cent over any previous year, and
that the visits numbered 37S.S6S. Practi-
cally every sailor coming TO New York dur
ing the year has made use Of the institu-
ton, but the greatest demand was during
feet review week, when between 1900 and
5000 visited the building each day.
During the year it sheltered l0l,7H men
overnight. and Of these 1000 slept on the
floor after all the available beds were
taken. A restaurant Is conducted in con-
nection with the institution, and there In
the year Of 1911 II is estimated that 1l5,0O)
meals were served. The cashier Of the
building has hai died s55OOOO in money be-
longing to the men. more than 1000 sailors
ha-hng left money there on deposit in
amounts varying from IS to 5000.
In the gymnasium there is a running
track and a swimming pool. Athletic
meets, basketball games and exhibitions Of
all sorts have been held there. and the
swimming pool is utilized by the men of
ali the ships in their training for races.
Bible classes and religious meetings were
held there at frequent intervals and about
1898 men attended them. Practical talks
on temperance were also given. The ex-
penses OF the building during the last year
amounted 10 $9s,sl9, Of which the income
from the building. for rooms. meals, lock-
ers and other privileges, paid $Ss,499. The
balance of the money necessary for the up
keep was paid by friends Of the men of the
navy.

BOROUGH GOSSIP
Movement Started for University
to Absorb Present Colleges.

A new movement for a Brooklyn univer-
sity to absorb the Polytechnic Institute
and Adelphi College and provide an all
around education for Brooklyn's boys and
girls at reasonable cost has been started
among the ministers Of the borough. Up
ward Of fifty of the leading pastors met
a few days ago at Grant Hall, in Wash

listened TO addresses from the Rev. DR.. S.

acted as chairman. The meeting was sum-
moned by a body Of prominent Protestant
clergymen and rabbis from all parts OF
the borough A circular letter which &C
companied the invitation said. in part:
Brooklyn has splendid high schools with
an attendance virtually equalling that In
Manhattan. Its school population is in
creasing much faster than that in Mall
haitian. But the high schools Of Brooklyn,
Queens and Long Island are not united
and inspired by the influence and example
of any local college or university, to which
their work may be related The great ma
jority Of high school students in Brooklyn
cannot hope to get the higher education.
home TO study. The distance Of the Man.
haitian colleges from most of their homes
forms as insuperable an obstacle as the
expense of boarding and lodging In Man
haitian. Only about One-third Of the hign
school graduates on Long Island seek a
college training, while nearly three-fourths
of the high school graduates In Manhattan
and The Bronx do seek it-and chiefly near
their homes. a municipal university
might be organized into four collegiate
groups, az follows: A college Of technology
and of industrial arts and sciences, a col
iege OF fine arts and design. a college OF
liberal arts and college OF commercial
studies.
The movement for a Brooklyn university
was really started long ago. Plans were
even made at one time to combine Poly
and Adelphi to form the nucleus OF such
an institution, but the plans came to moth
ing, and in the last year both schools have
sought endowment funds POLY" raised
$4,000 with the last day Of the year, and
debts. Adelphi is now trying to raise $780,
900. and has about half. When the sum is
collected and its Indebtedness removed it
will have about as much left as ''Poly" has
now. Both schools, 1t is said, are still In
terested in the plan for q university The
ministers said in their circular that a
founding Of a university would be one an
swer TO the prayer, Thy kingdom come
AS such answer they propose to preach on
the educational needs Of the borough from
their pulpits. and have set aside the third

united effort.

Beginning next Thursday the government
will start one hundred and fifty suits
against corporations Of Long Island and
Staten Island to recover fines totalling ST.
10000. The suits grow out Of the failure Of
the corporations to file tax statements with
w. ]. Maxwell. internal revenue collector,
on March /, 1911. The suits will be the first
of the sort to be brought under the de-
cision of the United States Supreme Court
which held the corporation tax legal. Each
corporation will be sued for the maximum
of $4,000 Many Of the corporations are
small, and the collection OF the fine would
ruin them. Federal Attorney W. ]. Youngs
and his whole staff expect to be engaged
in the suits several months, The, fines
amount to much more than the tax. Last
year e2S corporations which were late in
getting in their reports were fined $4,000
So far this year 700 corporations have filed
their statements and paid in taxes $1,000
