HEALTH PROBLEM IN ORIENT
tuberculosis Claims Its Victims by
Hundreds Of Thousands-PreVen-
tive Measures Started.

tuberculosis is one of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in ia
pam. the Philippines, India, and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for a
national organization in China and in
a number of cities local work has
been started. While no accurate fig
ures are available, those who are in
position to know claim that consUmp-
tion takes annually from 100000 to
100000 lives in China alone. In IN
dia the death rate is fully as high,
and on account OF caste distinctions
and native suDerstitions, the problem
Of preventiCn and treatment is pecu-
iarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially in
the control of tuberculosis, and is CO.
operating with two well organized pri-
vate associations. The death rate,
while very high, is lower than in
China and India Under the direction
of the United States public health
service a movement for the prevention
of tuberculosis in the Philippines has
also been organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
with headquarters in New York, al
though organized especially for work
in this country, has been largely in
strumental in the establishment of
anti-tuberculosis movements in most
Of the oriental countries, as well as in
Africa and South America.

That this vast sum should produce
the best possible results is obviously
of great Importance Hitherto it has
been estimated that a large portion Of
it has gone to waste through ignor-
ance of the right kind Of road to
build in different localities or failure
to maintain it properly when built.
With the aid of the dynamometer
all problems Of resistance can be
studied as a first step toward solving
them The question of durability, Of
course, it does not touch, but one
machine cannot be expected to do
everything.
In the future it is not altogether i'm
possible that the records Of the
dynamometer may be translated for
the benefit of all concerned into &C
tuaI dollars and cents. Already there
is an abundance of evidence in the
possession of the department OF agr1-
culture to show the cash value to a
community of roads that are easy to
travel on. In Lee county, Virginia,
for example, a farm Of 10 acres was
offered for sale some years ago at
1890 In 1908 the road running to
this farm was improved and since
then $4,000 has been refused for the
same 100 acres. In Alabama the peo-
pie of one county voted S250,000
bond issue for road improvement.
Land at that time was worth from
six to fifteen an acre; it is now selling
for from fifteen to twenty-five dollars
an acre. On the other hand there was
a well authenticated story Of a Ten
nessee farmer who was compelle

matically for example in this way.
To lift ton one foot high requires
2,00O pounds of energy. If the
road is Of such character that it
offers 4 hundred pounds of tractive
resistance per ton the same energy
will roll the ton a horizontal distance
of 20 feet. To save one foot of grade
the road may therefore be heightened
20 feet without increasing the amount
Of energy required. If the tractive
resistance of the road is less than
100 pounds the distance it may eco
nomically be heightened is, of course,
lessened also, and vice versa. The
dynamSmeter is the only way in
which this tractive resistance en- be
exactly measured, and thus it enables
road engineers to do their work with
absolute scientific accuracy.
Interest in good roads has been in
creasing with extraordinary rapidity
in the United States during the last
few years and the expenditures for
road Improvement have increased
with it. Thus in 1904 the total ex-
penditure on all public roads in the
United States was $79,771,417. By
1912 this had risen to $164.232, 1865.

WARSHIPS ARE NO'F USELESS
High Officer of French Navy Doesn't
Agree That Submarines ave
Rendered Vessels Useless.

Paris.-The Petit Parisien has asked
a high officer CT the French navy his
opinion Of the statements OF Admiral
Sir Percy Scott to the effect that sub
marines have rendered useless ships
that float OF the surface and have not
the faculty % submersion.
After paying a high tribute to the
British admiral and saying that Sir
Percy's opinion had to be taken into
consideration, the officer declared that
for the moment and for AZ immediate
future he could not share Sir Percys
views The submarines at present in
use had, he said, insufficient speed as
compared with that OF 0attleShips. 1t
would be impossible for submersibles
to join big ships in the open sea- He
admitted that the task of submarines
would be easier in confined waters like
the English channel. but their role
would be an improbable one in the
ocean or the Mediterranean.
Moreover, there was as yet no
means OF communicating with the sub
marines when they we're under water,
nor could messages be received from
them. The officer said: I'VE must try
to increase the speed Of submersibles,
but we must take care not to regard
our battleships as valueless. On the
contrary, we should go ahead with the
construction Of large units"

Washington, D. C.-By means of a
new device known as the dynamome-
ter, the department Of agriculture is
now able to measure exactly the saw
ing that a good road represents over
a bad one. In the future it viii be
no longer necessary to make an edu-
Gated guess at what constitutes easy
travelling. With the dynamometer it
is possible to ascertain with scientific
accuracy the resistance offered by
different kinds of road surfaces,
grades, vehicles and tires.
The dynamometer registers on a
record which is in appearance not
unlike that of a self-registering Their
nometer. not only the pull necessary
to draw the wagon but the distance
travelled and the time consumed in
the trip. All this is automatically
recorded by a brass pencil point on a
long roll of sensitized paper, which is
arranged to unroll in such fashion
that 240 inches of record represent a
mile Of road travel The movements
Of the pencil are governed by the
springs. For every 500 pounds of draft
exerted on the tongue Of the wagon
the pencil makes a mark an inch
long. In addition to this dots ap-
pear on the surface Of the paper at
intervals of Is seconds.
To take two concrete examples,
Fig. 1 is the record of a stretch of
average road 10 feet in length trav-
eled by a wagon with tires 215 inches
in width. This distance was trav-
ersed in Is seconds with an average
draft of 408 pounds. This means that
it took 3 $40 horse power to draw the
wagon under these condition.
Fig. 2 is the record made by the
dynamometer in travelling 10 feet on
a steep uphill heavy road with tires
of the same width. The difference Is
startling. In this case it took 20 sec
onds to go the distance, but it re-
Quired an average pull of LOTT pounds
instead of 408, or stated in terms of
horse power 7 4-10 instead of 8 3-10
There is, of course, nothing new in
the fact that it is easier to pull a
heavy load over a level road than it is
up bad uphill one It is we'll known,
for example, that when it requires a
draft of 100 pounds per ton to haul
load on a level stretch it takes ap-
pToximately four times as much power
to draw load up ten per cent grade

CANNlBAL TRIBE In BRAZIL
Aiaot LANCE Is CiviIizIna Them and
They Have Hoisted the
American Flag.

A tribe Of Indian cannibals, fnhabit-
ing the jungles along the Upper Moju
river, in Brazil, has been colonized by
Algot LANCE, the explorer and author,
who says they are learning to speak
the English language rather than Bra
lillian, and that they have run the
Stars and Stripes up over the tallest
hut in their village. Mr.. LANCE has
made two expeditions covering two
years among the Indians Of the Upper
Moju river and the Amazon wilds. In
his last letter from Para, Brazil, he
writes:
Il have just returned from q short
trip up the Moju river, where I left
my men in charge Of piece Of land
I bought from the state. The tract
contains some splendid hardwoods and
it is inhabited by a tribe Of Indians
with which have established friendly
relations I received news some weeks
ago that these savages were heading
down stream in search of men, whom
they call Karee Katoo. and were mix.
ing themselves up in a lot Of trouble
with the Brazilians. Straightway ]
fitted out my expedition and went in
q launch back to their territory. /
left my old and tried companions with
them, and they are establishing plan
tations. Above the colony's main build
ing the Stars and Stripes are now
flying. Eventually the Indians will be
/ taught to speak English, as they are
uIacquainted with the Brazilian Ian
guage. We expect some day to make
the cannibal colony the foundation Of
growing town Of industrial activity"
On the same Journey Mr.. LANCE
writes that he has acquired a very
thick but powerful boa constructor,
which is now playing in his back yard
at Para. He also shot a female tiger,
and saved a little cub, which he has
named "Ta1nmany," and which he in
tends to bring to New York to see the
wide world"
The truth about Brazil, according to
Mr.. Lange, is not revealed in the fat
teTing statements of travellers return
ing from that country. He says:
ct is all due to these fattering,
yelled statements that the country is
facing such great crises and continual
ly is on the verge of internal disrup-
! ton. They cause false impressions
among foreign capitalists, who finally
refuse to help Brazil any more. The
result is underpaid officials and gen.
eraI misunderstanding and confusion.
/ The department of agriculture and
commerce is giving up completely
everything. The Indian affairs are
dissolving, and all sorts of massacres
/ are allowed. There is no doubt but
/ there will be another 'Putumayo'
| scandal"

Much SiYnnIRr

Mile Gaby Deslys took a hen with
her on her latest ocean voyage, the
idea being, of course that in addition
to providing the enterpTising young
lady with a few extra press notices
the hen would supply her with fresh
eggs on the voyage.
The incident has recalled a story
connected with Cecil Rhodes, who al
ways took one or two hens with him
on his many long voyages between
England and the Cape.
Another well-known South African,
who had frequently made the trip in
the same vessel as Rhodes, was asked
why he, too, did not take some hens
with him.
1T isn't necessary" he said. You
see, I always tip the man who looks
after Rhodes hens and I get the
eggs!"
