TATTOOING IN THE NAVY
A Surgeons Observation on Its Prev
aleHce and Character.

Surgeon Ammen Farenholdt, u. s.
N, who is on duty at the naval train
ing station in San Francisco, has con-
tinued his researches relative to the
prevalence Of tatooing in the navy.
upon which subject he made some In
teresting observations a few years
ago.
Surgeon Farenholt has followed up
these earlier statistics by recent ex-
aminatIons Of the reeor Is aud has
been able 10 compare how closely the
observations recorded concerning re-
cruits and re-enlisted men@n the navy
during the period from twelve TO
four years ago correspond with those
collected or men enlisting and re-en-
listing in another branch Of the ser
vice during the past two years.
According to the Army and Navy
Register he reaches this conclusion
aud makes the following comments:
/. That the percentage Of this
kind of personal ad jrnment among
the several classes from which both
the navy and the Marine Corps re-
ceive their recruits is diminishing
little, If at all-23-2l.
2. That after enlistment the sailor
man acquires tatooing more frequent
~ than the marine-53-35.
g.. That tattooing is about as preva-
lent in the United States army as il
is in the United States Marine Corps
1854.
The character Of the designs chosen
shows a remarkable similarity and
a continuance of choice in unchanged
channels.
The navy list gives a percentage
Of 33, on in every three tattOoed
recruits having selected a decoration
a part of which represented a female
ggure. In the case of the Marine
Corps this percentage was fund to be
81, practically the same, showing
that these de lings still retain their
popularity.
Several of the more strictly deep
sea and time-honored patterns were
rarely met. The Jerusalem cross and
Tire pig on the dorsum Of the foot
were not seen; crosses, crucihxes,
Neptune, mermaids and the tombtone
weeping willow, I'm memory of my
mother, once so common, appear ed
in diminishing numbers Bracelets,
knots and tattooing on exposed parts
are also disappearing.
The significance and superstition
of many of these marks are rapidly
becoming lost, as we have lost for
ever the gold earrings. the pigtail
and the tarpaulin hat of the ancient
mariner, and the conventional book
designs of the professional tattooer
are more in evidence A certain
levity in selection, which the old tar
would certainly deprecate, is often
seen-for example, the Katzenjammer
kids, Happy Hooligan, tennis rae
quets, bat and ball, glasses of beer,
socks, etc.
The influence Of Japanese work is
increasingly notieed-dvagons, flow
ers, butterflies, animals and Japanese
women are very common. No evil
dence Of infection or the transmission
of disease was noticed.

BENEFICIAL SMOKING.
Experiments That Show Tobacco a
Preventive Of Diseass.

1t is not surprising to learn that
tobacco smoke il inimical 70 the
activity of heterogeneous since
it contains, among many other
things pyridin, which has been
shown to be a powerful germieide.
Definite experiments. says the Lam
Get, have recently been made which
show that tobacco smoke rapidly de-
stroys in particular the co NINA bacil-
lus f cholera. A good many years
ago it was reported by the senior
medical officer of Greenwich work
house that the tobacco smoking in
mates enjoyed comparative immunity
from epidemics, and tobacco smoking
was believed to have had disinfec-
tant action in case of cholera and
o Their infectious diseases.
Again, during cholera epidemic
at Hsmburg il was reported that not
single workman engaged in the
cigar factory in that city was attack
ed by the disease. Later it was stated
that among a body of 5000 cigar
makers only eight cases and four
death from cholera occurred.
Subsequent experiments proved that
tobacco smoke destroyed the baeilli
of Asiatic cholera as well as pneu-
monia, and there was some evidence
also that tobacco smoke was proven
tive of some forms of nasal catarrh.
1t is interesting to note that pyridin
il official in the French pharmaco-
poedia, and in France it has been en-
ployed in the form of inhalation in
asthma emphyesma and angina pee
toris, and mixed with peppermint in
diphtheria.
Excessive tobacco smoking, of
course, may easily give rise to con-
stitutional effect which diminish the
resisting power of the body to dis
easse, in which case it is probable
tn : habit would afford not only no
protection but an opening for invas-
ion.
