Medical Importance
of Panama

On the completion OF tie Panama
Canal there will be a readjustment
of and travel, which viii
radiate from the canal to all parts
of the world. The western coast OF
Central and South America Will
then constitute a definite sanitary
menace to the United States. Close
contact by ship with the ports
where yellow fever, cholera and
smallpox are always present. not to
mention a host OF other INFECTIOUS
diseases. will expose our Atlantic
and Gulf ports to the constant peru
Of epidemic invasion.
1t will probably fall to the public
health service to provide against
this new danger. The present quar-
antine service embraces a chain OF
iiitv-three stations encircling the
United States. New York being the
only important one % covered by
the Federal service. The public
health service also includes Porto
Rico and Hawaii i'll its quarantine
protection and administers the
quarantine OF the canal zone.
The maritime traffic which will
converge at the canal zone VIII
bring with it large numbers OF sali
ors of all nations, including the I'm
tied States, and a medical relief sta
ton will be necessary. y large Ma
rine hospital should be erected at
some favorable location in the cana
zone. either at sea level or III the
mountains: it would find a large and
increasing field of usefulness, and II
fact will. be almost necessary. Out
patient Offices at Colon and Panama
should be equipped for emergency
and ambulance cases. and as recelv-
ing stations for the marine hospital.
There is a unique opportunity in the
canal zone for the establishment OF
a laboratory for the investigation OF
tropical and sub-tropical diseases.
The clinical material which will be
available from all parts of the world
especially from Central and South
America. will afford opportunity for
valuable studies of diseases which
will soon be even a greater national
menace than at present.-The Jour
nal Of the National Medical Asso-

The Making of

An interesting story OF the max
ing Of good Americans out OF illit-

While working in a factory, Blan-
pied saw a foreman. angry at a tor
eign workmans inability to under
stand orders, hit the workman in the
Jaw and knock him off 4 platform
upon a pile Of bicks, to mis- %grievous
Injury. When Blanpied remon-
strated, the foreman expressed great
surprise at his interest in a mere
"wop.'' off you want to help him
out" said the foreman, why dom
you teach him to talk English
Blanpied in that instant saw a lite
work dawn before him, He set to
work. He gathered together a
group Of Salvonians in a room a
saloon keeper put at his disposal
CATER a church, had refused SINH
lar accommodations and began to
teach the men English. \ friend

night to see what he was doing, ana
was fred with enthusiasm. Blan-
pied turned over his Slavonians to
the student and got a thousand for
eigners studying English. and for
teachers. ~sixty-four college students.
These foreigners are taught not
ONLY English. but civics, hygiene.
good citizenship, better skill Tor
their occupations. and fit notions as
to how to become good Americans
And the college students were get
ting lust as much good as the for
~eigners. for they were learning
about human nature, about how to
deal with men, and acquiring the
habit OF social service. the habit OF

BLIND MEN AS MEssEuRs.
Tho Work Demands Great Delcacy
and Suroness of Touch.

| Strange as it may seem, it Is none
the less true that there is at least one
| ocrpation in Which blindness may be
regarded as something like blessing
! in disguise. The work of a masseuH
! demands. in combination with energJ
and strength great delicacy and sure
ness of toueh-quaIites in which tho
blind specially excel and for this rea-
son a blind masseur is often given the
preference over a sighted one.
\ Among those who have taken up the
profession of massage with eonspieu-
Gus success is Mr.. f, r. Marriott, of
Harrow. England, whose loss of sight
was the result of blow from erick-
et-ball From his earliest youth he had.
a passion for athletics. and his love for
the work of the old> Greek sculptors
bred in him desire for physical de-.
velopment. which fortunately stood
him in good stead in his time OF
trouble.

as often as not it lends them added
courage TO fight their own troubles
Like her husband, Mrs. Marriott is
also blind, but she is as much mistress
of her home as any other housewife.
Al cakes and buildings she mikes her
self, and. indeed, there is very little
of the cooking that she allows the maid
TO do. A point which very forcibly

BIG HAILSTONES
Cause Annual Loss Estimated at
5000, ooo.ooo.

New Orleans was visited a few
DAYS ago by hailstorm. Some of
the hailstones were reported to be as
big as a mans first, which caused
lot of runaways and much direct
damage. says the New York Sun.
But what made it more picturesque
than the ordinary storm was that
flock of wild ducks were flying over
the city when it broke ont and doz-
en- or so fell, killed or stunned TO the
street. The reported size of the
stones does rather take away ones
breath at first, but many stories have
been told on the authority of men
who are above suspicion of being
Munchausens of equally large halt
stones having fallen in various parts
of the world. and killed much bigger
game than wild ducks such as sheen
pigs and even human beings.
India has the reputation of having
more severe hailstorms than any
country and Great Britain less. 1t is
told in all seriousness by the natives
that in the reign of Tippo Sahib il
the latter half of the eighteenth CEN
tury there fell at Seringapatam a
hailstone as big as an elephant, which
took three days to melt. 1t is sug-
gested that the foundation for this
extraordinary yarn is that large
number of big stones fell into a pit
where they may have frozen. into a
mass.
There appears to be better founda
ton for the story that in the Orkney
islands stones as big as goose eggs
have fallen, but these We're a mass of
small ones which had come together
in the course of their descent. In
September, 1856, strip of country
near Florence was ruined by hall
stones which were said to weigh from
ten to fourteen ounces and at TomslS
in Siberia in the summer of 1888 two
women were killed by bailstones.- A
few days later a tract of vegetation
almost four miles wide in Iowa was
destroyed, woman was killed and
many people were badly injured in
one of these storms.
Commodore Porter wrote many
years earlier an account of his ex-
perience when on the Bosporus in a
boat with the American minister to
Turkey.
THE whole Bosporus was in a foam
as though heavens artillery had been
discharged upon us and our frail ma
chine. Our fate seemed inevitable.
Our umbrellas were raised to protect
us; the Jumps of ice stripped them
into ribbons. We fortunately had a
bullock's hide in the boat, under
which we erawled and saved our
selves from further injury. One man
of the. three oarsmen had his hand
literally smashed another much in
jured IN the shoulder"
Two Of his servants on another
