PARKS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Close Connection Between the Two

ance 1t Deserves.

The public parks occupy so promin-
ent a place in the furtherance of
health in the public mind that even
the health authorities rarely deem it
necessary to formulate rules for the
conduct Of those who resort to them
for health or pleasure. The most
prominent signs on the street cars of
the city tell the wayfarer Splitting is
forbidden under penalty of the law"
That the enforcement of this regula-
ton of the board of health would pre-
vent infection from germs contained
in the expectoration there can be no
doubt.
The frequent cleansing of the cars
and the absence of sweeping air cur
rents in the modern street car, how
ever, preclude to great extent the diff
fusion of germs from this source I'm
fortunately the law is difficult of en-
forcement by reason of lack Of public
interest. How much more facile in
the dissemination of disease germs the
dust Of public parks is appeared to
have escaped the park authorities
This fact has been brought to public
attention in Paris by petition to its
municipal council, signed by numerous
we'll known physicians and sanitari-
ans and printed in the Presse Medi-
Gale, calling attention to the fact that
splitting is very common along the
paths and roads of the public parks
and squares. 1t was pointed out that
infection by the hands and shoes Of
little children" is thus facilitated, and
the council is urged to issue regula-
tions to forbid splitting under severe
penalty of the law. This danger is
very real, indeed, far more menacing
than that from the less agitated air Of
the street car. While in the cars in

absence of authorized supervision by

,crcement Of this important health reg

TransmisslblIity of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors Of
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May l, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of a union SO
richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has way OF
sometimes consuming It's possessor
but also of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned. At any rate, the evidence az
to its transmissibility is still lacking
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to Justify belief as to the
transmissibility OF special talents.

oblivious to any other presence, her

The last encounter had been a distinct
disappointment. The dispersal of the
card-players was, as anticipated, easily
managed, but the reputation of "Reb"
as killer and bad man had given him
hope Of resistance. But instead he
had proven perfect lamb. Hamlin
crossed his legs and waited, his mind
divided in wonder between what Miss
Mcdonald might want, and the cow
ardice of the fellow just driven out
The man was actually afraid-afraid
to start a row. Yet he had got to his
feet with that intention; 1t was only
after he had looked into Hamlin's
face and asked his name, that he be-
gan to hedge and draw back. Could
he have recognized him? Could Mrs.
Dupont have warned him of danger in
his direction? That would seem i'm
possible, for the woman had not been
with him for even minute since their
conversation. She had given him a
swift signal at the door of the dance
hall, but that could scarcely account
for his present desire to avoid trouble
An engagement? Probably with Mrs.
Dupont. But what was the use of

came she would have some light to
throw on these matters. Surely her
sudden determination to see him pri-

affair.
These thoughts came swiftly, for his
period of waiting proved to be but a
short one. He heard the laughter and

Classification of Pigeons.

In certain western states the raising
of pigeons on large scale has become
an extensive industry, which has
brought about a demand for new
judicial determination as to the rights
of pigeon raisers The only ease in
this country in which pigeons have
been classified Is from Massachusetts
in Commonwealth VS.. Chase, in which
the court holds that the pigeon or
dove is ferae naturae, or wild ami
NAL, because ut is difficult to dis
tinguish them from other fowl of the
same species since they often take
flight and mix in large f1ocks with
the doves of other persons"
