TRANSMISSION OF INFANT
PARALYSIS BY STABLE FLY

Prof. NJ. J. Rosenau recently an
nounced that he had ap-
parently succeeded IN transmitting
infant pasaly SIS from monkey TO
monkey through the agency Of the
biting stable-fy. Confirmation of
Rosenau's work has just appeared in
an article by Anderson aud Forest
Of the United States Public Health
reports. These authors report that
they were able 10 transmit the ID
lection 10 a fresh monkey with the
emulsion OF the cord Of one of the
animals infected BY the flies.
One point of especial interest in
the results reported by Anderson and
Frost is the period eiapsing between
the first exposure Of eies 70 the in
tested animal and the development
OF the disease in healthy animals. the
shortest period being seven days,
which is shorter than that found by
Rosenau in his experiments. These
results. in confirmation Of those an
nounced By Rosenau in Washington.
would seem to demonstrate eonelu-
sively that infant paralysis may be
be transmitted 10 monkeys through
the agency OF the stable-fy.
II remains. Of course. for fur
Their work TO determine whether this
is the usual or the only method Of
transmission. This early eonhrma-
ton. says the Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical association. while too
late TO be of great value in attempts
to control the disease in the United
States this year. vii undoubtedly
result in efforts BY health authorities
in localities where infant paralysis
has prevented. to eliminate the
stable-ny and prevent lis access TO
any persons suspected Of having in
FAINT paralysis.

In all mining industries about one
third of the wage n (34.4 per
cent? we're employed above ground
and about tw~o-thirds (65.6 per cent?
below ground. The coal-mining in
dustry has a larger proportion of its
wage earners below ground than any
other industry. In the phos-
plate rock industry only So per
cent of the wage earners were en-
ployed above ground, while three of
the industries petroleum and nat
ural gas. limestone, and granite) are
exclusively surface industries.
A portion of the work incident TO
mining is done by contract, although
the numbers of wage arner en-
ployed by contractors can not be as
.eertained, the work being temporary
and the same men after completing
one job being shifted to another
place. The relative Importance OF
work done under contract, as COM
pared with the work performed by
regular wage may be in
fered from the fact that the total
wages paid in 1909 amounted TO
nearly s566,774,000. while the total
expenditure for contract work was
IS. SIS. 600.

UND|STURBED
ELECTION HAS LITTLE EFFECT
ON FINANCIAL INTERESTS
AND PERIOD OF GREAT PROS
PERITY Is PREDICTED.

The action of the stock market
since the outcome Of the election was
known shows clearly that the lead
ing financial interests have no con-
Germ over the policies of the new
president. The tariff bugaboo does
not scare as it did formerly and it is
interesting TO note that a prominent
steel interest says that steel pro-
duets are now selling lower in this
country than they are abroad. which
certainly does away with any posi-
Bile claim that the greatest industry
in the country would be ruined by a
reduction in tariff duties. We stated
recently that many believed the out
come of the election would give re-
newed confidence TO the business in
terst and the happenings in the stock
market since then bears out the cor
reotness OF this forecast, says the
Boston Financial News. As a matter
of fact, the financial and commercial
conditions have concerned them
selves very little with the election
but. coming Just when the foreign
situation vas upset by the fear OF
war between the leading nations, the
situation seemed 10 be influenced
more than il really vas.
The simple facts are that, aside
from the uncertainty that will pre-
vail abroad until peace is absolutely
declared between Turkey and the
Balkan states. the conditions are as
strong as It Is possible for them TO
be. The chances are that
the war al in Europe has passed
and. if tie statement is true that
Austria and Russia have agreed on
a policy. there is nothing left on
which to base a prediction OF trouble
between European nations. II is
clear that as soon as the foreign
markets have assumed a confident
attitude. We shall be the gamers. The
discount rate abroad viii fall abrupt
ly and the foreign investors will wish
to replace the securities sold in our
markets or tie outbreak of the war
in the Balkans.
The markets vii then be left free
to discount the benefits from the en-
ormous crops We have harvested and
the confidence that will be born Of
a cessation Of political agitation.
The banks have financed the move
ment of the crops and can now look
forward TO a gradual improvement
in their position. except for the tenn
porary demands that come with the
holiday season. The earnings Of the
railways as We'll as the elearings Of
the banks indicate that We have al
ready entered a period Of greater
prosperity and il is safe % assume
that President-elect Wilson will care
fully guard the business conditions
from the effects OF hasty and M-con-
sidered legislation.

THE LAW OF HEREDITY.

The long-looked-for history of the
Halifax family has at last come
from the press Of the publishers.
Under the auspices of the Training
school for Feeble-Minded at Vine
land, y. J.. DR.. Henry H. GODDARD
has investigated and compiled the
results OF his work in the h%eredity of
this most remarkable family. Dur
ing Revolutionary days. the first
Martin Halifax Cthe name IS
fetitious), descended from a long
line of good English ancestry, took
advantage Of a predetermined girl.
The result of their indulgence was a
feeble-minded son. This son married
a normal roman They in turn pro-
dueed i've feeble-minded and two
normal children. Practically all of
the descendants of these detectives
have been traced as we'll as those OF
the w normals.
From both normal and defective
descendants of this union came a
long line of defective stock. There
were $50 in all. OF these thirty
six We're Legitimate, thirty-three
sexualv immoral. twenty-four con-
hrmed alcoholics and three epilep-
tics. E~ighty-two oiled in infancy.
three We're criminal, eight kept
houses of i'll fame and 143 were dis
tinctly feeble-minded. Only forty
six We're found who were apparently
normal. The rest are unknown or
doubtful. But the scion of the good
family who started this Ions line Of
delinquent and defective progeny is
also reponsible for a strain of an en-
tirely different character. After the
Revolutionary war was over. he mar
ried a Quaker girl OF good ancestry
and settled down to live a respect
able life after the traditions Of his
forefathers. From this legal union
with a normal woman there have
been 40 descendants. All of these
except two have been of normal
mentality. The exceptions were
cases of insanity. presumably in
herited through marriage with an
outside strain in which there was a
constitutional psychopathic ten
ieney. In al the 496 there is not an
instance Of feeble-mindedness. The
offspring descended from this side
q the house have universally oc-
cupied positions in the upper walks
Of life. They have never been crimI-
mails or ne'er-do-wells. On the other
hand. there has not been a single
instance OF exceptional ability among
the descendants OF the first Martin
kallikak and the feeble-minded girl.
Most OF these descendants have fail
ed TO rise above the dead level Of
m%edioerity, indeed, most of them
have fallen far below even this min
imum standard. This striking study
in heredity is commented on at
length in a recent number of the
journal of the Aa,criCan Medical As
