In th<? larger cities of thte country
the street ear is as potent n factor in
the dissemination of communicable
disease« as many of those uaualiy cata­
logued in the standard works of hy­
giene. In th ear larger centers of popu­
lation the condition is cue of an ex­
cessive number of passengers crowded
into a limited number of cars. In seme
cities this continues throughout the
entire day. and in all of them during
the morning ami evening hours. Dur­
ing the period of congested traffic, the
enrs ore crowded to the limit, every
seat being occupied, and the aisles and
rear platforms literally packed with
all classes of our variegated popula­
tion, says the In ter st-ute Medical Jour-
n a 1.
* .
The ventilation of these cars is in­
ferior, both on account of inattention
to this important matter on the part
of the builders of this class of rolling
stock, and a ho because the passengers
differ so widely as to the proper tem­
perature* and circulation neces-sary
to their comfort.
Tuberculosis is undoubtedly projxa-
gated through the medium of these
cars, which become in feet di by the
promiscuous exuectorat’* n indulrred
in by consumptives, notwilhstnnding
notices of warning. Hnnnuin, of Cleve­
land. recently examined 25 specimen«
of sputum found in street ears (15
from the interiors and ten from the
rear platforms) : the tubercle bacillus
was present in three instances. Other
specimens showed the pneumococcus
and the bncillu- influenzae.
These condition the person-to-per-
ann contract, and the breathing of
vitiated air frequently laden with
contagious exhalations and with dust
from dried «nntum. are ou st favora­
ble to the distribution of contagious
dis asps. Of course, it is only pr'ob-
Imatical ns to the number of small­
pox
cnses w.hieh
were
infected
through "these conditions (luring the
recent epidemic, but it is certain that
but few better import unities of in­
fection are offered than through the
sfreet-car contact of all classes.
Other transmissible diseases
can
very easily be, and no doubt are, com­
municated in the same way.
The solufion of this problem is not.
easy. Str et railway comunnies are
not inclined to relieve the present
situation without compulsion. Health
officers, however, hnve authority over
the sanitntiiin of these public con­
veyances.
Thia authority in most
municipalities gives sufficient power
to prevent undtio overcrowding of
cars when such prevention would be
for the protection of public health.
When necessary, as in iimes of a
general
epidemic, such
authority
Rhoiihi be exercised. Under all cir­
cumstances regular disinfection of
street cars should be practiced in an
efficient manner.
In this wav the
cars can be made biologically (dean,
and the health of 1he community bet­
ter protected. There is just as much
occasion for this procedure as there
is for the disinfection of Pullman
rars, now energetically practiced nt
different points,
investigation ha«
developed the fact that there is but
one city in the country, Philadel­
phia, where any pretense is made of
di* infection of •“•ireet ears.
The
I nion Traction con»’any of that city
disinfects its cars with carbolic acid.
Thi« pos«ii |v answers b»r the killing
of bacterial life
n the floors and
walls of the cars, but does no good
for the contaminated places w.herff
dust has settled, and which nothing
but a gaseous agent would reach.

The. strenuous efforts of the medical
department of the army have resulted
apparently in the practical eradication
of that trying disease» dysentery,
which has caused the American troops
in the Philippines so much suffering
and so many deaths, says a Washing­
ton report. During the campaigning
in the Philippines, ns has been the case
in every war, hundreds of men have
died from this disease, and others have
been discharged because of total dis­
ability. Dysentery is more prevalent
and severe in the Philippines than in
this country, but the enforcement of
strict sanitary measures, including the
boiling of all drinking water, rules for
bathing and especially the washing of
the hands before handling food, has
caused the disease almost to disap­

which caused the army great annoy­
ance, has also been successfully dealt
with. While this disease is not fatal,
it attacks men, women and children
alike. Microscopic examinations and
study of this disease developed that it
was caused by a parasite, as in dysen­
tery, and it appeared that it was com­
municated by the careless methods em­
ployed by the Chinese in doing laundry
work. They were in the habit of dry­
ing the clothes by spreading them on
bushes and on the grass, and ironing
them with a cold iron. Under the be­
lief that the parasite came from the
vegetation, and was communicated to
the clothes from the bushes, orders
were issued that the clothes would be
hung 011 lines to dry, and ironed with
hot irons instead of cold. As a result
of this practice the disease disap­
peared.
According to reports received by
Surgeon General Forward, typhoid
fever is on the decTease in the Philip­
pines, and when the heavy rains come
on a complete eradication of this dis­
ease is expected.
Mr. Charlea N’euer, United State»
consular ngent at Gera, iu an official
communication to the »tat« depart­
ment advocate» the study of the Chi­
nese language as a means of extending
American trade in the Chine»« empire,
says the Washington Star.
“While
China ia considered the land of prom­
ise for our farmers nod manufactur­
er»,” eays he, "the importance of the
knowledge of the Chinese language i»
greatly undervalue!!. 1 submit the de­
tails of a recent interview with a lin­
guist who has given special attention
to thi» subject. It i» well understood
that in order to enter into perman­
ent commercial relations with a for­
eign country it is indispensable to
know Its language. When Russian in­
dustries began to develop the Germans
recognized that in order to engage in
profitable trade in that country it was
necessary to learn Russian, and there
is now n<» country where the Russian
language is so much taught as in Ger­
many.
“The Chinese language Is ideograph­
ic. It conveys the idea and not. the
word for the thing, as the figure ‘8’ rep­
resents the idea and not the word. The
Chinese have invented more than 40,-
000 marks for their writing. In the
opinion of my Informant it will require
only about 3,000 marks for mercantile
correspondence, and it will be easiec
to learn them than the words of on
ordinar\ foreign language.
“Russian is more difficult for Amer­
icans than Chinese. It takes much
longer to learn the spoken language,
because of the variety of dialects; but
any one who can learn enough of the
writings to answer ordinary purposes
in a few months and have his knowl­
edge perfected by a linguist within,
about, a year. An exact instruction in
one of the Chinese languages can only
be given by a (’hinamnn.
“This method has been adopted in
Germany. Besides the professor for
the theory of language, there are four
Chinese linguists in the Oriental sem­
inary of Berlin teaching the business
style and the language of Peking,
Shanghai and Canton. It is not intend­
ed to fit pupils for the diplomatic »erv«
ice, but for commercial work.”
PRINCE CHEN WAS JARRED.
IVai Greeted with the “Chlneirc Na­
tional Anthem“ Until lie
Got Tired of It.
Prince Chen, tb** Chinese prince im­
perial. who lately visited President
KooseVelt at his country place at Oy­
ster Bay. was recently extensively en­
tertained in Brussels by the city fa­
ther.«. says the San Francisco Argo­
naut. But the pleasure of his stay there
wa> marred by the monotonous music
which
played in his honor every­
where he went, whether visHting build­
ings, monuments, museums or dining
and reviewing.
After awhile, it i»
said, it jarred ao on hta nerve« that
he asked his Interpreter to inquire
what the composition was. ‘"rhe Chi­
nese National Anthem,” wa« the re­
ply of the somewhat surprised burgo­
master of Brussels, Mr. De Mot. “But
we have none,” was the response made
by the royal gueet to the embarrass­
ment of the entourage. It seems that
a wily European some years ago com­
posed a sort of turn-turn, with an ac­
companiment, and called it the “Chi­
nese National Anthem.” This the gull­
ible city fathers hnve used on all occa­
sions when Chinese dignitaries were
being entertained
It remained, how­
ever, for Prince Chen to expose the
composer, who had already made n
1 neat little sum out of his composition.

HOMICIDE IN AMERICA.

Furulah Kvldvnre of a Terrible j,
Tide of Murder,
/
Comparative statistics of murder
should tench us some lessons of uu
lional humility, because, blink
it
us we may crime, and especially that
of homicide, is a pretty accurate,
measure of the attainment of civili­
zation. There are about 10,000 mur­
ders a year in the United Htat.ee.
Mr. Robert Anderson, of Ixindon, has
lately astonished
hta
reader« by
stating that in the 0,000,000 inhabi­
tant» of Ixrndnn there ar«! annually
on the average only about 18 mur­
ders. In a «ermoii bn crime n clergy
man of one of our smaller Amerii’an
cities lecently state«! that in his city
(of nbout. 200,000 inhabitants) there
were in the last five years an aver­
age of ncnrly 30 homirides a year,
nays American Medicine. Supposing,
therefore, that these people would
not be«-orne far more criminal when
massed together by millions, It fol­
lows that if the clergyman's city
were ns large ns London there w«»uld
l>e nearly 000 murders a year In it.
Instead of 18. But, worse is yet to
come: Out of the 145 murders In five
years there were only 23 convictl«>ns,
and the very worst 1» the fart that,
not one «>f these convicted murder­
ers suffered
