Contagion, Not Infection.
From the New York Herald.

rom the New York Herald.
For many years the idea of infection in
disease has gradually merged into con-
tag1on. The international Congress of
Hygiene. which held its sessions In Wash
ington last week, would seem to have
definitely settled that disease conveyance
Is always by contagion and not infection.
IT Is contact, either direct or indirect.
with patient suffering from particular
disease that causes the occurrence of that
disease in second patient.
Much used TO be said OF infected places.
Swamps. low ground or marshy surround
ings were thought to be the cause of dis
ease. The night air had a bad reputa ton
as fomenter of illness of various kinds
Now We know that II Is the MOSQUITO
which directly carries various diseases
and acts as an intermediate host between
one human victim and another. In the
same way other carriers of disease have
been found. Flies, heas ticks, rats and
various forms Of parasites are RESPONSE
Die for disease distribution.
Even among human beings certain in.
dlvfdualS prove to be Carriers" of In
fectlous material. They may be insus.
ceptibie themselves or have acquired i'm
munity from the disease, yet can convey
IT TO others. Always when a communica.
BILE disease occurs IL can be traced to a
preceding case with which there has
been contact either directly or indirectly
That Is now the accepted scientific teach.
toG OF the worlds medical authorities.

A Polyglot Congress.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the springfield republican.
The International Congress of Chambers
Of Commerce which closed its work in
Boston Saturday had a fruitful week I'm
spite of the difficulty encountered from
lack of a common language. The steno-
graphic reports issued daily were highly
polyglot, and in some cases a speaker
would use more than one language, fall
ing back on his own whenever the strain
Of a foreign tongue was too great. Such
cosmopolitan gatherings increase yearly
in number and Importance. and peri APPS
give the best areument for the establish
ment OF Esperanto or some such artificial
language. Yet while an international con-
gress Of esperantists is an impressive
spectacle, 1t would be difficult to get to-
eether a miscellaneous congress with skill
enough in q made language, no matter
how simple. to debate with freedom. For
the present II is much more hopeful to
cultivate the three leading languages OF
Europe-French. German and EneIish-one
Of which is apt to be the second LANGUAGE
Of educated people of other nationalities.
At the congress In Boston French SEEM
ed to be the greatest common factor. ex-
clud!ng the American delegates. many OF
whom were at a considerable disadvan-
tage from not understanding well either
French or German.

Treatment Of Criminals.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Our conception OF the criminal has been
considerably modified of late. Except
for isolated cases 1t Is now generally ac-
cepted that criminals are not born but
made
A bureau for the study of criminals.
such as Is proposed for Chicago by the
judges of the municipal court, is decidedly
in accord with the tendencies of the
times. Such bureau will neither cure
nor abolish crime, but it will give light
where Light is needed.
A study Of the conditions and environ
ment which led to the making of crimi-
nal may lead to bettering of these con-
ditions A study Of the mental and moral
makeup of the person who fell victim to
these conditions may result in important
notifications in the punitive and correct
I've methods now employed.

Citizens.

Thomas r. Marshall, in the Atlantic.
There are three grades of citizens. There
are those who obey the law through fear
of it's penalties-men who deal squarely
because their lawyers tell them that they
will lose money. and perhaps their liberty,
IL they do not These constitute the low
est grade of citizenship. There are those
who obey the law because it is the law;
they have no respect for it: they regard
it as crude. foolish, immaterial legis la
ton, but their respect for constituted
authority induces them to keep the letter
Of the law regardless of their opinion OF
the spirit Of it. These constitute an i'm
proved clas of citizens. But the citizens
Of the third and highest grade are the
men who make for righteousness. They
are the salt of the republic. These l am
pleased to call automatic citizens. They
are men who realize that with the right
OF individual success in America has come
the duty of individual responsibility: that
they may ''go the limit" in the way of
success but that they must not injure
their fellow-men. Not one Of them would
have demanded his pound OF flesh. for he
would have known that he could not get
Il without the shedding Of Christian blood.
