 ity On Anti-ToNins.

New Yorf, Jan 6.--JInif1cation o1 International standards of anti-toxc serums has been begun on large scale by the league of nations health committee, according to detailed plans received here today. The United States the league of nations new bureau announced has agreed to CO., operate in this work through the presence at the conferences of Dr. Rupert Blue. assistant surgeon gen. eral, stationed at Paris. German scientists will also take part as we'll as Japanese and representatives of all the larger European medical serv- ices.
 ''Up to now tn ebureau said. there has been as much confusion in the various national standards of measur- ing the strength of anti-toxic serums for diseases such as dysentery. tetanus, diphtheria. syphilis and others as tthere has been in the different cur rency systems in the world.
 This, has had two serious effects, First, the American scientist is handi- capped in studying methods of treat ment of various vital diseases abroad, because of the different standards of measuring the strength of the anti toxic serums employed; secondly, as international trade in serums is in creasing it represents not only an in convenience but a positive danger to have their strengths listed at varying standards"

Kew to Eovosian Hieroolyphics.

The Rosetta stone, one Of the most
celebrated archaeological discoveries OF
modern times. is famous for being the
key whereby the decipherment Of the
Egyptian hieroglyplfics was made pos
sible. 1t was found in 1899 near Res
eta, Egypt, by an officer Of engineers
in the French army, which was then
in occupation Of that country.
The stone is a slab Of black basalt,
and bears an inscription in honor OF
Ptolemy Epiphanes. written in three
ages-Greek. denote and hero
glyphic. AS the three Inscriptions are
of identical significance, the Greek
made easy the deciphering of the
others.
Until the discovery of the stone
archeologists had no key to Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured litera-
ture has been read With ease and
much valuable information given to
