At the session of section Y, on the
control of infectious diseases, DIR. Simon

FleXner. the serum was used in tight
ing the disease. and of these cases $40
recovered AS the exact number of cases
observed was 1924. and as of these $40
recovered the death rate in cases where
the serum was used was 80 per cent.
Before the serum was discovered. he
said the normal death rate from menin-
gifts was about 30 per cent In the
recent outbreak in Louisiana. DIR. Flexner
stated the serum was used in 116 cases.

THE prime beauty of a battleship is
to meet battle conditions, said Surgeon
Holcomb. ITO meet these conditions, sir,

tilation not being established, unless both
supply and exhaust systems are provid-

steam-driven auxiliary machinery, such
as ice machines for magazine cooling

Discusses Control of Rabies.

Prof. Henry Albert of the State Uni

ing that there are few diseases that
can so readily be eradicated. Prof. Albert
presented statistics showing that alto
gether there are nearly $4,000 persons
in the world each year bitten by dogs
suffering from hydrophobia. A chart
presented in connection with his paper
showed that in the United States prac-
tically all of the rabies is confined to
the states east of the Mississippi river
In the year 1911 New York had the
questionable distinction of being first in
the list with 500 persons bitten by rabid
or presumable rabid animals; Georgia

naval hygiene. He described the use OF
free chlorine gas, this being something
entirely new for the purpose of field

tention among the foreign delegates.
The influence of high wet bulb temper
atures in the engine room and stoke holes
of ships in the tropics was described by
Fleet Surgeon Dr. Oswald Rees. on the
British Bermuda station. He stated that
the utmost caution must be given to the
regulation of body heat and the neces-
sity of careful observations Of the tenn

told of unfavorable conditions which led
to eleven cases of heat stroke on one

Emery r. Hayhurst of the University of

warm rejoinder from DIR. George r.

some heat that the trade of brass found

trades and who resented the statement
that brass founders. as rule. are shorter
lived than men working at other found

scented figures from American brass
foundries and from those in foreign coun-
tries, the figures tending to show that

Death Rate and Death Causes
in Trades and Professions

At last nights general session of the
congress DR.. Jacques Bertillon. chief of
the bureau of municipal statistics of
Paris and brother of the famous Ber-
tilon who devised the system of meas
urements of criminals bearing his name,
read a paper in which was given the
results of long investigation into the
death rate and causes of death in the
various trades and professions. higher
death rate and greater susceptibility to
diseases of practically all kinds. DIR. Ber-
tillon found. exists among brewers, wine
merchants and all those having to do
with the manufacture or the handling of
intoxicants than is present in any other
class of workers.
In his Investigations DR.. Bertillon has
divided the working class into three prin-
cipal groups and I29 subgroups, the di-
vision being those in which tuberculosis
is generally frequent; in which it is rare.
but liver ailments are frequent, and in
which liver or kidney diseases are rare.
DIR. Bertillon found that with farmers
(agriculturists, horticulturists, foresters)
all causes of death are rare; that they
are the most BEAUTIFULLY occupied class
of workers.

lightning stroke is direct, and is due to
destruction or alteration of the tissues.
death in electrical shock is the result of
effects produced upon the heart respira-
ton and the nervous system. Death may
be immediate, without any noticeable
change on the surface Of the body. Usu-
ally, however, there are marks OF burn
ing or other external indicative OF the
penetration and exit of the current" He
said that alternating currents are almost
twice as dangerous as continuing cur
rents. There is a great difference in
their action. Continuous currents at high
tension cause severe burning and great
local destruction Of tissue, but with the
alternating currents, although burns ap-
pear there is less burning and less local
destruction of tissue.
