THE FUTURE OF SILVER
(The Financial Times LondonO
(The Financial Times,

A little over two months ago the
continued rise in the price of silver
which had then reached 37d. per ounce

LEGATIONS, particularly for the Indian
government which is pledged TO main
tain the fixed rate of exchange of Rs15

which we are becoming accustomed in
these disturbed times. the danger was
ayerted Just when 1t became the most
critical, and the Indian government
as not obliged to take any extraor-
binary measures to protect itself The
relief came, however, from a source
which threatens further difficulty later
IN. Apart from minor factors, the
main cause of the reaction, which has
brought the price of the metal down
to sod, has been the selling of ac-
eumulated stocks in China, mainly ow-
ing to the political uncertainty in that
chaotic Empire, and there is some rea-
son to believe that the process has
teen carried so far as to endanger
the currency system of the country.

las been comparatively little increase
in the production of the metal recent
ly, except in the United States, and
this has not in any way compensated
for the shrinkage in the output from
Mexico. Conditions in the latter
country have gone from bad to worse
and show no signs of improvement,
and in any event it will be a long time
before confidence can be restored that
the output from the mines will be re-
sumed on IT'S former scale. In the
me antime the employment of silver for
currency purposes continues TO inc
rease owing to the Withholding of gold
from circulation, and the tendency is
likely to continue for some time even
after the war has ceased 1t has even

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE.
Many Physicians Have Given Their
Lives to Combat II.

It is a remarkable fact, confirmed
by many observations, that many ply
sicians who have devoted considerable
labor to the study of particular dis
ease have themselves died of that dis
ease One of the most interesting eX-
amples is that of John Daniel Major
born August 16, 1884, in Breslau, a
physician and naturalist of no mean
ability. Bitten early by the wander
lust, he studied at Wittenburg, took
courses at many of the schools in
Germany, and finally went to Italy
where he received the degree of doc
tor of medicine at Padua in 1860. Re-
turning to his own country, he resided
for a short time in Silesia, and in 1861
married at Wittenburg, Margaret Dor
othy, a daughter of the celebrated Sen
merit. The following year his young
wife was stricken with plague and
died after an illness of eight days.
Distracted by his loss, Major wander
ed up and down Europe studying the
plague wherever he found it in the
hope that he might discover a cure
for the disease which had bereaved
him. Spain, Germany, France and
Russia were visited by him. He set
tied in 1865 in Kiel, where he was
made professor of botany and the d.
rector of the botanical gardens. He
made frequent voyages, however, al
ways in quest of the remedy for the
plague. Finally in 1898, he was called
to Stockholm to treat the queen o!
Charles XII, then Ill with the plague
But before he could render her any
