TEARS CONTAGION
SIGN OFF HOUSE
South Orange Health officer
Threatens Parent of Child
Who Has Scarlet Fever.

Whether or not a scarlet fever sign
placed on a South Orange home was
warranted is a question which the
health authorities and Henry Robin
son, of 3l6 Academy street, mat
place, have been wrangling over for
some time. Official announcement by
the secretary of the Board of Health
today was that the sign was to re-
main until ordered down on March t3.
When Mr.. Robinson's son Francis
was taken i'll several days ago DIR.
Alfred c. Benedict, health inspector.
visited the patient and announced 1t
was a case of scarlet fever. A sign
warning those who would enter Of
the contagious disease was placed on
the house much against the wishes
of Mr.. Robinson
The irate citizen called in six doc
tors to prove that DIR. Benediet's
diagnosis was not, correct In the
meantime the sign was torn down
from the house. DIR. Benedict called
on DIR. Henry a. Pulsford and the
latter also aYerred the case was one
of scarlet fever.
With a policeman DIR. Benedict
went again to the Robinson home and
tackled up new sign, which seems
destined to stay for a while, as Mr..
Robinson has been warned not to
tear 1t down.

SUGAR RATES TOO HIGH,
COMMERCE BOARD SAYS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Control by
a few powerful concerns" of rout-
ing the sugar traffic of the country
gives them a leverage for control
ling the rates, and there are indica-
tons that they have not failed. to use
the right of their advantage" says
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in a decision today holding that the
rates on sugar from Cincinnati to
Knoxville and Chattanooga were too
high as compared with rates from
competing markets, such as New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans.
without the issuance of an order,
it is implied, said the commission,
that the roads affected would reduce
their rates IN proportion to those
charged from other points.

NEW YORK BONDS
EARTH WEARING OFF
AT TREMENDOUS RATE

The surface of the United States is
being removed at the rate of thir-
teenth ten thousandths of an inch
year. says Science, or one inch in 760
years. according to the United States
geographical survey.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface of the
country, it becomes stupendous when
considered as total, for more than
270, 100000 tons of dissolved matter
and 513.000,00o tons of suspended
matter are transported to tidewater
every year by streams of the United
States
This total of 7s3, ,0o0,0 900 tons repre-
sents more than 5o.000.o0o cubic
yards of rock substance, or $4,000
900 cubic yards of surface soil
II this erosive action had been con-
centrated upon the isthmus of Pan
anna at the time Of American occupa-
tion 1t would have excavated the
prism for an S5 foot level canal in
about 73 days.
The amounts removed from differ
ent drainage basins show interesting
comparisons. In respect to dis
solved matter, the Southern Pacific
basin heads the list With 1T tons per
square mile per year, the Northern
Atlantic basin being next with 130
tons. The rate for the Hudson bay
basin. 2S tons, Is lowest; that for the
Colorado and western gulf of Mexico
basins Is somewhat higher.
The denudation estimates for the
Southern Atlantic basin correspond
very closely to those for the entire
United States. The amounts are
generally lowest for streams in the
arid and semiarid regions, because
large areas there contribute little or
nothing to the runoff. The Southern
Pacific basin is an important excep-
tiop to this general rule, presumably
because of the extensive practice of
irrigation in that area. The amounts
are highest in regions of high rain
fall, though usually the waters in
those sections are not so highly
mineralized as the waters OF streams
in arid regions.
