"The average life of the paresis patient after be reaches the hospital Is one year. A few years ago all of the»» cases would have seemed quite bopeleqa. "The action of the malaria Is very obscure. It may produce resistance in the body which destroys .the dis ease, or it may attack the disease di rectly. It Is not correct to say that It prepares the central nervous sys tem for the action of drugs, and there Is nothing to show that the malaria Itself is not quite as effective without the help of drugs. “The only useful drug that we have found Is the arsenical combination which was produced by the Rockefel- ler Institute for the treatment of Af rican sleeping sickness. That has had a good effect in many cases of paresis. We have been able to discharge a num ber of patients who have received this treatment. On the other hand, some patients who were not benefited at ail by the Rockefeller product have been greatly Improved by the malaria treat ment. “We do not speak of the malaria treatment as a cure In any case. It is too early to say that. It does, how ever, bring about a remission of symp toms In many cases. It is too soon to tell whether the remission of symp toms is permanent or not."

Kan.—A study of bird life from South Dakota to Mexico City, and back along the western coast of Mexico nnd the United States to Can ada, will be made this summer by Prof. H. H. Nlninger, head of the blo- logical department of McPherson col- lege here. Care will be taken to keep welt ahead of cold weather, so that the birds can be studied in advance of the migratory period for the American species. Crossing the Rio Grande, the party will continue south, gathering data on the species both rare and common to Mexico, While there, the migratory birds of the northland, which will have sought winter quarters, will be closely observed. From the City of Mexico, Professor Nlninger will move northward, travel ing along the western coast of Mexico nnd the United States until the Ca nadian border is reached. Colleges and universities along the route in both countries have asked Professor Nlninger for his disclosures. Professor Nininger will make the trip under the auspices of the National Ornithology society, and it Is expected to result tn the most important dis coverles In the Interests of ornithology. The party will start from western South Dakota nnd travel in n house- car tuilt especially for the purpose.
