Sanatoriums and Property.
From the Baltimore Sun


Whenever it is proposed to build
tuberculosis sanatortum there Is always
a protest from those owning property
in the vicinity. and it is generally diff
cult at the time to get a cool and un-
prejudiced judgment For that reason 1t
ia well to spread abroad correct informa-
ton and right views in regard to this
matter at a time when passions are not
aroused and prejudices atlame. A
pamphlet just issued by the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis gives great deal
of data to prove that the sanatoriums
are no detriment to surrounding prop
erty and no menace to health. Perhaps
the most convincing is the action Of
the life insurance companies, all or
which say that they do not consider
residence near a sanatorium an ad-
verse factor in Issuing life insurance.
And striking, if not so convincing. Is
the statement of the celebrated DR..
Trundeau, who says that no employe
who came to his sanatorium in sound
health ever developed tuberculosis
there and added: When I bought the
first land on which the Adirondack
Cottage Sanatorium Is built l paid SIS
an acre for it; my last purchase OF
five acres cost me $1,000" Perhaps We
will all come round after while to the
opinion of physicians that the only
place in the world where one can be
protected absolutely from the tuber-
culosis germs is in a tuberculosis sana-
torium.

Concerning japanese Gardens.
From the Chicago Journal.


Dame Fashion now DEGREES that every
possessor of a country estate must have
Japanese garden. or suffer that loss of
caste which befalls those who fail to keep
up with the procession. There have been
many more harmful fads than this There
never was one which had less basis of
sound taste and practical common sense.
Japanese landscape gardening developed
in cramped islands. where mountains or
sea dominate every view. 1t cannot be
transplanted to our vast continent or set
down on our limtless level prairies with
out becoming absurd. 1t is saturated
with the traditions of the ancestor-wor-
Shipping people who gave it birth. What
have we to do with ancestral shrines? 1t

castes and ruled by despotic military
chieftains How can It express the ideals
of a rebellious Industrial democracy like
ours?

truth that beauty may be made at home

are unreasonably lang, and this IS one OF
the reasons why the boys are leaving the

Steak and High Living.

From the Yale REVIEW.
When the Increased cost Of living Is
discussed today. the complainant usually
begins by quoting the prices Of rib roast
or sirloin steak. In 174O the best beef
sold in Boston at 12 cents a pound. but
from colonial days down to a very late
period meat was supplied in most primi-
tive manner. AS late as the seventies
everybody even in considerable towns.
kept chickens. and nearly everybody a
pig and a COW, and all this live stock
was permitted to roam at viii! through
the streets Pigs were butchered in the
back yards of private residences. and
the carcass hung from the branches Of
convenient apple tree. The butcher
bought what cattle he could. and at times
the meat was excellent in quality, but
more often the carcass was that Of a
COW that no longer gave milk. of a bull
that had lost his bloom, or of a steer
whose work under the yoke was no long
er efficient: and invariably steak din
ner was heralded by the vigorous pound
ing with the potato masher welded by
the staIwart arm of the cook. The aver
age quality of beef was SO poor that
pork was rightly preferret as food, and
was sold for double the price Of beef.

Reconstructing Delinquents.
rom the Dayton News.

From the Dayton News
Duluth is one American city that has
learned to treat petty offenders with some
degree of humanity and with the view to
helping them by punishment rather than
to make them worse. A work farm has
been established, and there men who have
been arrested for drunkenness and the
numerous offenses to which reckless and
unfortunate men are prone are sent
there to work in the fields or in a sawmill,
and under the eyes of humane guards.
There is every indication that the treat
ment Is being appreciated and that the
prisoners are being helped. 1t is to be
hoped that the same plan may be sue
cessfully worked out for this city On a
larger scale. Cleveland is doing 1t with
conspicuously good effect, and of still
greater magnitude will be the new Ohio
penitentiary. in Madison county. which Is
one of the great reforms of the present
state administration.

Increasing Use of Water.
rom the Boston Transcript,

From the Boston Transcript.
1t has been figured out by the Spring.
field statisticians that the daily con-
sumption of water per capita in that
city is 113 gallons and two gills. The
present generation uses more water than
did its predecessor, and also breathes
more fresh air. The more general install
lation Of the bathtub is probably respon-
sible for the increased consumption. At
the convention of the American Water
Works Association, held in Philadelphia
some weeks ago. a former chief of the
water department of that city said that
half century ago the daily per capita
use Of water there was sixty gallons.
Now it is about 200 gallons. That is
nearly twice the Springfield figures. We
should be reluctant to believe that the
standard of cleanliness in the latter city
was below that of Philadelphia. 1t may
be that a gallon of Schuylkill water does
not go as far for cleaning purposes as
gallon of Springfield water. The residuum
which the former leaves calls for sec
ond washing about as soon as the first Is
dry Still. the brave efforts of the people
to maintain a clean and wholesome con-
dition under discouraging circumstances
is deserving Of much praise.

Studying a New Star.
rom the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
In the spring of 1912 considerable in
terest was excited by the sudden ap-
pearance of brilliant star which be-
came visible to the naked eye during
some weeks in March and April. After
May 1T was no longer visible except in
powerful telescopes. Mr.. Slocum has
attempted to measure the parallax of
this star. and hence to deduce it's dis
tance from US. Parallax is a measure
OF the change of perspective a moving
object presents when regarded from
two different positions. Advantage is
taken Of the revolution of the earth in
Its orbit, and measurements are made
at intervals of six months Mr.. Slo-
cum. with the great forty-inch re-
tractor at the 1erkes Observatory has
taken fifteen photographs of the new
star at three different periods of six
months. Six companion stars were Sc
lected as near the Nova as possible
and distributed approximately SYM
metrically round it. A discussion of
the results shows that the Nova is
about 2se light years away SO that the
sudden blaze of 1912 corresponds to
some catastrophe which occurred in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury.
