At the International Exhibition of
Hygiene, which is now going on here
the section concerning the struggle
against tuberculosis is most interest
ing. 1t appears that one-fourth of the
total mortality of Europe is due to
consumption, Italy alone, which is one
of the countries less affected, having
sacrificed, up to 1896, an average of
$4,000 yearly to the disease. This fig
ure now, owing to the energetic pre-.
ventive and curative measures adopt
ed, has sunk to less than $4,000.
Still Italy, chiefly on account of the
fact that most of her consumptives are
foreigners, has not succeeded in OBJ
tanning the same amelioration as has
occurred in other countries, such as,
for instance, in Prussia, where in the
last twenty years the death rate from
consumption has decreased from 81
to 22,7 every ten thousand inhabitants
and in England where it has diminish.
ed from IS to 1876.
Russia has still the unenviable .prIm-
acy in consumption statistics, the
death rate there being four thousand
for every million Inhabitants, followed
by Austria-Hungary with $500, France
with 5000, Germany 1920, Holland L.
900, Italy 1870 Scotland 1900 Eng

The best effects of the open air cure
are shown by England, which with
this system has succeeded in the last
fifty years in reducing by half the
mortality through tuberculosis, but II
that were not enough, Italy provides
fresh demonstrations showing how
much more consumption affects people
who are confined within buildings than
those who live in the open air.
The death rate from this disease
among nuns is 425.59 every thousand,

 As the development of the south means the enrichment of the nation and as many members of the American Iron and Steel institute are not per- sonally familiar with the great min- eral resources of this section and oth- CTS have not been south of late years to see the vast industrial progress of this section within that period, the Manufacturers Record will take the liberty of urging that the next annual meeting be held in Birmingham.
 Such visit to the south will prove interesting to all the members and of great value not only to the south, but to the whole country, by broadening the personal acquaintanceship of the lead CTS in American development with the vast potentialities of the southern states in coal, iron and steel and chem ical interests, in water powers, in cot- ton and in other resources for material upbuilding.
