no actual significance except as a
reflection OF trade conditions.

caused no little misunderstanding Of

a barometer can have no influence

Feryboat Safety.
Rails and Chains Suggested to Pro-
tect Automobiles.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Miss
Edith B. Stewards unfortunate death
through her automobile running Off the
ferryboat Weehawken calls for means
to prevent a recurrence Of accidents Of
like character.
Cannot the ferryboats be equipped
with heavy timber rails to be stretched
across the width of the ferryboat In
fencelike fashion and the ends placed
In wall slots? Or cannot number OF
heavy steel chains be suspended from
the ceiling and hooked into rings on the
floor of the ferryboat to be used as
safety guards?
An arrangement Of this sort would
have saved Miss Stewards life and will
help to prevent casualties.

SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 81. 1871.


The vanquished nations OF Europe
have no delegate at the Washington
gathering, but from one OF them
comes to this country of his own
volition an envoy extraordinary who
is attracting as much attentiva as
any statesman of the victorious
Powers. This is DR.. LoRENz, who
presides over his own Conference
for the Disarmament of Pain. He
is the children's ambassador, with
full powers to show the way of max
Ing happy many unfortunate boys and
girls of his own country and ours.
When ADOLF LoRENz of Vienna first
came to America nineteen years ago
he was a man of powerful physique
and in the prime Of life and reputa-
.ion. He was the acknowledged mas
ter of orthopedic surgery. He went
home with fortune, although he had
treated the poor for nothing. With
the fees gladly paid by the rich-such
as the $4,000 he received for straight
ening an Armour child's hip-he was
able to. live like great man at his
fine home on the Danube.
1t is a different looking DR.. Lo-
REM who comes back now from a
sadly different Austria. The tall fig
ure is spare and the beard that was
blond in 1902 is white now The for
tune-well, the great surgeon could
scarcely find passage money to Amer
lea. An Austria left wretchedly poor
by the breakup of the empire can
give her great scientists no more
than if they were ditch diggers.
In the many years, however, there
are two things that have not changed.
The misery of crippled children and
the skill of LoRENz still confront each
other. He is now, as he was when
the century began, the greatest spe-
cialist of his kind. And American
children, particularly since the in
fantile paralysis epidemics, are more
than ever susceptible to those dis
eases which IloRENz has devoted his
life to curing.
So DR.. LoRENz comes to pay a
debt-the debt which Austria ac-
knowledged when America fed her
starving children; the debt which
cannot be put down by either side
in so many dollars or so many
2 kronen; the debt which America
never expected to be paid because
almost everybody forgot that Aus
tria. with all her losses, still had this
magician with the patriarchal face
and the wonderful hands.
If at the close of the war the United
States had demanded indemnity from
Austria 1t is altogether unlikely that
any of the wiseacres of the State
Department would have stipulated
any payment except gold or ships.
No diplomat would have thought of
proposing a visit by LoRENz as con-
dition of peace; his fellow boundary
carvers would have thought him
touched in the head.
But. thanks to that compassion for
children which is the truest mark of
civilization, DR.. LoRENz is here to
cure and to teach others to cure; and
his visit is worth more to America.
in its banishment Of pain and its
aid to renewed friendliness with Aus
tria, than could be measured by all
the moneys that ever were or ever
will be in the Vienna treasury.

DISAGREEABLE ODOR IN PARIS
CITY WATER

For several days complaints have
Deen voiced by citizens regarding a
dlsagreeable odor emanating from the
water supply furnished the city and
consumers through the Paris Water
company. The odor strongly resem-
yles that caused by waterlogged wood
or dead leaves. A NEWS man asked
City Health Officer A. H. Keller yes
terday regarding the matter, and for
an explanation DR.. Keller says:
THE OdOr about which so much
complaint has been made is nothing
more or less than that caused by a
solution of chlorine, which is used by
the Water Company in purifying the
water which comes through the
pipes. 1t has no bad qualities, and
does not affect the quality of the wa
ter. Owing to the low stage of wa
ter In Stoner creek at the present
time 1 advised Mr.. Mitchell to in
crease the per cent. of chlorine used
In this process, which tends to kill
all the possible harmful animalculae
In the water, ordinarily invisible to
the human eye. There is positively
nothing harmful in this solution
and our people need not be afraid Of
using it. Of course, as a precaution,
l have advised boiling water used for
drinking or domestic purposes. But
as far as this odor or taste in the wa
ter is concerned, it is absolutely
harmless, and should not give anyone
a moments uneasiness."
