Dr. Stephen Smith, iu AppitOB ' ropulrj Soience Monthly, DENTAL DECADENCE. Europeans Are Alarmed Over Con dition of Their Teetbr Meloal Authorities Have, far Some Tine Hrra HirreUrd Itr the Reelect of Javealle llrvleec, A writer lit the Dentist has raised A cry of alarm about the dental de cadence of the Knglish people. He alls attention to Uie early ravages which caries is making upon the teeth of Knglish children, and calls for pre- entivo measures affuinst a state of affairs which he regnal as a "nation al calamity." Among 776 children, whose mouths he examined, he found 3,357 bad teeth. He is justly alarmed by this figure, and he calls the attention of all the schoolmasters and schoolmistresses to this too-much neglected point of ju venile hygiene. The remedy which he advocates Is a dental inspection to be made regularly and systematically by skilled dentists in all the public schools. If English teeth are in danger, there is no reason, to feel more we lire con- cerninir the future of French teeth. The Freneh dentists are not leas pes simistic than the director of the Eng lish review. According to Dr. Pictkte-vic-z, out of the whole number of pu pils of the public schools brought to his dental clinic SS per cent, are in nted of immediate treatment, and by udding to these the number of thoee who, without being seriously affected. need careful watching and treatment sooner or later, the total is brought up to Ti per cent. M. Dally estimates the proportion of children who are in urgent need of dental care to be 85 per cent., at least. A few years ago La Societe de Mede- cine Pratique did not consider this question of too little importance to occupy its attention, and after a rigid criticism of the manner in which cor poreal hygiene Is in general compre hended in the lyceums it made the following recomraendntions: 1. That the pupils of tho colleges and lyceums be required to take the neces sary care, morning and night, of their mouths and teeth. 2. That they be placed in this re gard in better practical conditions than those at present offered them. 3. That they be all examined at the beginning of- each quarter (three month) session by the dentist at tached to the establishments. Have those recommendations been heeded 7 It is doubtful, for, generally, the dentists begin to treat their clients ouly when it- is too late to save them. Many explanations were given of this eorliness of dental impairment among the children. The blame was laid on dyspepsia, the abuse of sweets, cer tain drinks such as cider, and on the quality of drinking water. Some spoke of the influence of cerebral fa tigue. Dr. Stilerwood remarked that with children who study hard the teeth deteriorate rapidly after these children enter school, and nothing stops the progress of the evil but tak ing them from their studies. Accord ing to Magi tot tpo assiduous applica tion injures the good development and preservation of tho teeth of the pupils of the Ecole Porytechnique. All that ia possible and no one denies the influence of these auxiliary condi tions. Hut the true cause, rest, as sured of it, is the neglect or ignorance of the toothbrush. Many parents, in this respect, seem to be inspired by the remark of Calino: "Why do peo ple wash their hands every day and never wash their feet?" Children are taught to clean their faces every day; but how many are unaware until the ace of reason, and the age of reason is sometimes late in coming, that the daily washing of the mouth and teeth is as Indispennaule as the washing of the other parts of the body? On this subject of buccal hygiene, we must admit the superiority of the negroes of Africa. Dr.Haffin, who practices medicine in Cameroon, estimates that not less than 45 minutes a day are devoted by everybody in this country to cleaning the teeth. At sunrise each morning, and after each meal, the mouth is carefully rinsed, and several times in addition the teeth are rubbed and cleansed with dry sand or with the "tooth-stick." This stick ia a root six inches long. .chewed at both ends. Each native possesses hia own stick, but is not above using his neighbor's. The opin ion of the natives, indeed, is that the more they have been used, the better they are. Dr. Hsflln, who declares the usage of the "stick" to have been satisfactory to him, confesses that he did not personally verify this latter statement. A physician of the navy used to tell a story of his having had toothbrushes distributed to his men, whereupon they, not knowing what use to make of these instruments, employed them in polishing their buttons. And recently a German paper cited tho following, from n forest inspect or: "This worthy functionary, watch ing the unpacking of the trunk of one of his subordinates, and admiring the way in which the young man's mother had carefully furnished him with so complete an outfit, exclaimed: The fellow even haa a toothbrush!'"

Oerfnaar SeareM Ires araie Shortage Thaa Aar Other Ha- ' Ilea What Mas Caesesl the Searellr. At the beginning of 1800 the total number of men in the service of the German navy was 23,400, including the officers and engineers and a few sur geons, gunsmiths and - paymaster. From Berlin it Is reported that with the rapid growth and proposed further Increase of the German navy there ha been an increasing scarsity of trained young sailors. A few years ago Ger many furnished a large part of the crews of Engliah vessels, but to-day the crews of German vessels are partly, composed of foreigners. With the doub ling of the German navy, as contem plated, this difficulty will Increase and steps are 'being taken to meet it. , At Ilremen the North German Lloyd com pany is organizing a cadet school to train young men for the company' service. . The demand for additional sailor la Germany, is not limited to the govern ment service, however, for the two chief German lines of ocean steam ships have, collectively, crews, of ,800 sailors, exclusive of the lines connect ing German ports with other countries in the enormous and constantly in creasing German shipping trade. Here tofore a country supplying many other countries with sailors has been Sweden, but the increase of foreign commerce ' of Hint country and the demand for Swedish sailors for Russian ships has diminished the number of such sailors available. .Moreover, Germany is only one of the countries in which there haa recently been an extensive development of the naval armament and an enlarged demand in consequence for sailors. - At the beginning of the year 1898 the total number of men In the naval serv ice of Great Britain was 100,000, of whom 70,000 were officially described as "officers and seamen," and 20,000 were "marines." Since then a further In crease of 6,000 naval men has been au thorized and the transport service of the English government to South Af rica has made necessary the increase in the number of sailors. There ha been a very considerable increase of sailors in consequence of the enlargement and improvement of the United State navy, and the demand for them in the merchant marine of the country has been Increasing eorreT spondingly. The American line ' em ploys 2,500 sailors, and the enlargement of ocean travel this next summer to and from the Paris exposition, will make further demands upon the service of sailors in all trans-Atlantic lines. Two European countries which are adding considerable to their naval equipment arc France and Russia, and the in creased Dutch commerce makes neces sary the employment of a consider able number Of Dn'ch seamen under the home flag, Dutch sailors having excellent repute and numbering in all more than 40,000, of whom less than 10,000 are In the naval service of the country. . Sailors almost uniformly, it is an axiom of the sea, come from countries having a large water coast and from parts of the country nearest to the coast line. There are, it is computed, a quarter of a million sailors connect ed with the navies of the various countries and 750,000 sailors employed ia commercial navigation, England, the United States and Sweden ranking; in this order in that .regard. Ger many, France, Italy and Holland are large commercial nation, too, and it has been observed generally that Ger man sailors come from the northern provinces of the country, particularly the Baltic and the North sea,, while French sailors almost- uniformly are drawn from the two provinces of Brit tany and Normandy. The threatened dearth of available sailors, which some German compa nies are seeking to provide against by the establishment of a cadet school, affects other countries as well, and unless all indications are at fault the demand for sailors next lummer will be more extensive than ever before in the world' history. N. Y. Sun. ' Satara-s Satellite. The latest discovery in the southern hemisphere is the satellite of Saturn, discovered at Harvard from the exam ination of photographic plates taken at Arequipa, and only made known to astronomers a few months since. On three photographs of Saturn taken in August, 1898, Prof. W. H. Pickering detected a faint point of the fifteenth magnitude, which had relative motion among the neighboring stars. Further examination showed that this . tiny point, which no mortal eye has ever yet beheld, must be a satellite of Saturn; and a study of all the photographs now available shows that the body revolves about Saturn In about 17 months, at a distance of 7,000,000 mile.
