m THE MATTER OF
THE SCHOOL CENSUS

1t is not strange that people are
somewhat weary OF having enumera-
tors come TO their doors and request
personal statistics. During the last
months, especially at the time OF the
elections, the person who has never
been irritated by these numerous ques-
ton has indeed been rare. But We
beg that you will be fairly patient and
give full answers to those who are
taking the school census and this re-
quest is for your own sake.
A word OF explanation may be Of
use.
The state of Colorado mas a school
Fund. the interest of which is distribut-
ed among the school districts Of the
state according TO the number of per
sons Of school age residing in that dis
trict
The number of such persons is as
certained by a yearly census. taken
between the tenth day OF February and
the hrst day OF March. Every person
whose parents or guardians reside N
the district and whose age is between
six and tweniy-one should have :heir
names on this census. All married peo-
pie under twenty-one should give their
names. Parents should give the names
OF sons or daughters who are living
away from home; the residence is de-
termined by the parents and not tha.
OF the children. The fact OF paying
taIes or whether the young people at
tend the public schools or any schools
az all has nothing TO do with the right
OF having the name on the census BY
giving TO the enumerator every name
that belongs on the census you can
help bring larger sum OF money IN
the Canon City schools Every name
means something over four dollars %
the district So once more we ask you
70 be good natured and endure ose
more census and the schools will not
trouble you for another year

WONDERS OF MODERN SURGERY.
Al ARTIFICIAL OUTLET.

An interesting part OF the proceedings of
the section of Surgery was a demonstration
by Mr.: Arthur Evans London) of the case
of a man of 43, who had the larynx and
a large portion of the outlet removed for
cancer four years ago. At the p esent time
the patient was breathing through a trach-
eotomy tube. A rubber tube passed from
the back of her mouth through an opening
IN the neck outside her body to an opening
made in the stomach. She was able to chew
all kinds of food and swallow, so that food
passed into the stomach through this arti6-
cial gullet.
The operator was congratulated on all
sides on the success of a most daring aud
ingenious operation. The patient was shown
to the section and was seen to be in excellent
health.
REMOVAL OF A LUNG.
The Section of Surgery discussed q new
branch of Surgery, "Intra-thoracio Sur
gerry"
SIR WILLIAM MAcEwEN's contribution to
the debate was by far the most interesting
and informing of the day. He drew atten-
tion to two points in that large subject. In
the first place, he wished to demonstrate q
patient operated on by him IS years ago,
whose left lung had been removed in It's en-
tirety for tubercular disease. The patient had
been brou ght from Glasgow and was seen
by the section to be a strong, healthy-look-
ing man whose left side was, hollow and fall
en- in. He was engaged steadily at work. At
the time of the operation the right lung was
dis eased, but the removal of the hopelessly

NAPOLEON'S LAST ILLNESS.

Two different papers were read on the
ness, one by DIR. Arnold Chaplin, the other
by DIR. Leonard Guthrie.
1t will be remembered that early this year,
in q lecture before the Hunterinn Society,
Professor Arthur Keith went fully into this
subject, and suggested that, apart from the
cancer of the stomach from which the vari-
Gus authorities are agreed that Napoleon
ultimately died, he had for several years
been suffering from an endemic form of dis
ease peculiar to St. Helena, q malarial s'un~
duIant" fever. DR.. Chaplin agrees that this
must be the case, and that many of the
symptoms from which Napoleon suffered we're
due, not to cancer, but to the malaria pre-
valent on the Island. He has made q careful!
study of the health returns of the regiments
quartered there at the time, AMI an appall-
ing state Of affairs is disclosed among the
rank aud file.
DR.. Guthrie accepts the conclusions Of DR..
Chaplin and Dr.. Keith, and proceeds u little
further. There can be no doubt, he says,
that Napoleon died from cancer, aud also
thnt he had the endemic fever contracted in
St. Helena. He draws attention, however,
to another aspect of Napoleon's case not
hitherto overwhelmingly, that he suffer
ed from hypopituitarism, or d%ystrophia adj
poso-genitaIis, an epileptic malady, caused
by excess OF pituitary secretion, which will
go far to explain q certain mental and physi-
cal decay and enfeeblement not otherwise
sufficiently allowed for in his later history

diseated lung was followed by Improvement
IN the condition OF the remaining lung.
That experience had been found in other
four similar cases. In all these cases the apex
of the diseased lung had been adherent to
the great vein at the root of the neck, and
at q later stage in the last four cases the
vein aud that piece of lung were removed.
In the first case the patient for some days
suffered great distress from the Topping
of his heart to and fro as his position was
changed. This symptom was obyiated by
stitching the pericardium to the front part.
of the chest wall. Photographs of the five
men operated on were shown, as also were,
photographs of the lungs relnoved.-I6jd
