Statistics published in Derlin re garding the results of open-air treat ment of tuberculosis show that the utmost success has attended the new method. In Hanover out of 142 cases J2l have been declared cured. In Sa» ony, a country in which consumption is very prevalent, out of 98 patients over 60 have lie en cured. In liaden the open-air treatment in the pine woods has resulted in 205 cures out of 240 cases.

If Dr. Schitlz, health commissioner of Milwaukee, can carry out his ideas, kissing in that city will undergo a marked decrease. The commissioner has become an ardent advocate to the germ theory, and fears that too inii h kissing will contribute to the propa gation of disease. For the present Dr. Sehulz confines himself to con sumptive or those suspected of hav ing that disease. Such persons are asked not to indutee in osculation. The czar lias .just sanctioned a re markable engineering project— thu raising of the surface of the water of the Sea of Azof 14 feet 0 inches, by building a dam near Kerteh, 9 miles long. In the wall immense sea gates are to be made for the passage of ships. There will also be outlets for the snperfioits water. The cost will he about $25,000,000, the interest, on which will be paid by the ships trad ing to the Azof. The tallest chimney in America was completed but a short, time ago at Constable Hook, N. .1., and in it is found a safe solution of the smoke nuisance with which every city has to cope.

John F. Weston, commissary general of subsistence, shows that the total expenditures fur the subsistence of the army during the fiscal year were $15,622,228. The re ceipts for the sales of subsistence stores during the same period were $3,290,234. An interesting- feature of the report is a statement from Col. Woodruff, chief commissary of the army in the Philippines, in which he says: During the first three months of the period covered by this report stores here had, from various causes, become greatly reduced, but owing to the grand response made by the commissary general to every call from this otflee and the energetic ac tion of the purchasing commissaries in San Francisco and New York, this was speedily corrected, and this divis ion was soon supplied as no other army of its size has ever been sup plied in the world's history. During the period covered by this report the be supplied extended from the great wall of China on the north to the island of Borneo on the south and the island of Guam on the east, 'There were 4SO stations in this archipelago, besides the troops jn China and the prison ers in lluani. In addition to the 6(5.000 troops an r l 3,000 officers in this division, the sulp sistence department supplied the deli cacies for the sick, rations for 4,000 prisoners of war, 1.800 marines, many of the stores for the navy, rations for 1,000 civilian employes and sales stores for the army, navy and marine officers, Philippine commission and attaches, and Americans employed by the army and by the government in its treasury, post office, interior and educational departments, metropoli tan police, nat've police and scouts, transports, etc. In other words, nearly 100.000 persons, occupying a country almost destitute of meat and vegetables, or rather food supplies suitable for Americans, were sup plied largely from a single base, 7,000 miles distant. He denies any illegal purchases of champagne, and says that the pur chases that were made were neces sary for sick and debilitated troop 3 who purchased it at 82 cents a pint. Gen. Weston's report deals quite extensively with the Chinese cam paign, and quotes from officers who •were in that expedition to show that the troops were well supplied. Injured In a Wreck.

The Xavjr Department Will Auk t'oii" lircM to I'rovlde lor Their Construc tion. Washington, Nov. 2.—Over and above the four warships for which congress directed him last session to prepare plans as a basis for appro priation at Hie next session, Secre tary Long - has before him the recom mendations of the board of naval con struction, looking to authorization by congress of the 'building' of 40 more naval vessels of all classes, from bat tleships down to tug boats. The plans for the two armored cruisers and two battleships, projected by congress last session, already have been prepared and look to the con struction of about 16,000 ton battle ships and 14,000 ton cruisers. The battleships and cruisers additional to these which the construction board proposes probably will be of about the same size and general type. The board's complete plan is: • Three seagoing battleships of about 16,000 tons displacement. Two ar mored cruisers of about 14,500 tons displacement. Six gunboats of about 200 tons. Two colliers of about 15,000 tons. One repair ship of about 7,500 tons. Six training ships of about 2,000 tons. Four picket boats of about 650 tons. Four tugboats. While the above appears to be a start ling' amount of naval construction to recommend to congress, it is stated that it. is after all nearly a repetition of the program submitted to that body through Secretary Long by the construction board last year, and is even smaller than the aggregate ton age proposed to be authorized by the general or Dewey board. ELEVEN DEAD. Aa » Ilrmilt of the Administration of Diphtheria Antl-toxlu Kleven < bli rt ren Die of Lockjaw. •St. Louis, Nov. 2.—The list of deaths attributed to lockjaw as a re sult of the administration of diph theria anti-toxin manufactured by the city chemist, now numbers eleven, two more deaths'being reported Fri day. Eleven other children are re ported to the health department as suffering from lockjaw, with slight chances for recovery. The cause of lockjaw in each case is said to be poisoning from the city's diphtheria anti-toxin. The health department has now begun the free distribution of teta nus anti-toxin for injection into the blood of diphtheria patients who have been inoculated with the infected serum and thus exposed to lockjaw. The investigation ordered bv the city coroners to determine positively the cause of the deaths of the eight <4iildren who are alleged to have died of lockjaw following the administra tion of the city anti-toxin is being pushed and it is expected it will be completed in a few days.

Defective Work of the KnglUli (iov «rinncii( Laboratory During lUe Paul V rn r, , The principal chemist of the gov ernment laboratory has presented his report on the work of that depart ment for the past year. Of the sam ples of tea submitted 252, represent ing 2,062 packages, were refused ad mission for home consumption on the ground that they contained exhaust ed leaves, -were unsound or were mixed with sand or other substances within the meaning of the act, says the Leeds Mercury. The 3,828 samples of finished beer taken from 1,586 publicans were ana lyzed, and 598 or 15.6 per cent, o'f the samples were found to have been tampered with, either by having been diluted or by the illegal addition of sugar. The present year shows an increase of 1,442 samples, but the re sult of the xmalyses, generally, af fords no evidence of any falling off In the practice of diluting beer. The quantity of tobacco cleared for home consumption and 'the average amount consumed per head were 81,- 116,999 pounds and 2 pounds in 1899; 80,955,037 pounds and 1 pound 15% ounces in 1900, and 83,561,083 pounds and 2 pounds Vi ounce in 1901. Fig ures of exported cigars and cigar ettes are remarkable us showing liow increasingly popular is the practice pf smoking cigarettes, and they also show that the consumption of British made cigars is increasing abroad. Eleven adulterated samples of to bacco were found to contain licorice or glycerine. Legal were taken in 35 eases in respect of samples ana lyzed for the protection of the rev enue. The penalties imposed amounted to £3,766, in addition to which tobacco . the value of £277 was forfeited s containing an illegal ingredient or an excessive percentage of oil or water; 142 of the cases were disposed of in court, and in 139 re sulting In penalties amounting to £1,689, the analysts attending to give evidence. The other c.ses were settled by the board of inland rev enue for compromise fines amount ing to £2,077, the defendants in 15 cases preferring to pay the full pen alty. For diluting or adulterating beer 130 persons paid penalties amounting to £2,574. The considerable increase in the number of samples examined for the homo oflice was largely due to the work in progress in connection with the use of lead compounds in the manufacture of pottery. The total samples examined under this head numbered 195, of which 91 samples were fruits submitted by various firms under home office regulations for the determination of the propor tion of readily soluble lead. A Little Knowledge, Etc. The possession of a little legal law is like the possession of a revolver; its timely use may be a great protec tion to a man, while its abuse, on the other hand, may get him into the most serious kind of trouble. Rut, if he applies discreetly, and careful ly, his knowledge of the law, he will not only be relieved of the necessity ■of employing a lawyer, in many in stances where one would otherwise be needed, but he will be able to greatly facilitate the work of the lawyer when he is called in.—Gen.

Pnrndlne for Spopfnm^n, To him who knows not where togo, ther» can be no better place suggested titan the l'ocono mountains, lying rn the northeast* ern part of Pennsylvania, along Uit t>eauti ful Delaware river. Whether you go for health, or sport, you can hardly experience the latter without acquiring the former. The elevation of the mountains varies from 1,600 to 2,000 feet, and are one dense growth of jiine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other large game are plentiful, and though the region is visited Dy thousands of sportsmen every year, there seems to be no n ticeablo decrease in the attractions offered. The Focono mountain hotels, camps and game preserves are readily accessible by the Lackawanna Kailroad, the great trunk line between New York and the Great Lakes. • Truth In Ad vertlitlngr.
