WORKSHOP FOR BLIND PER New lustily lion Has Been Opened Alsbcrg to be successor to Ilnrvoy W. 1 Wiley as chief chemist of the depart In NpUJ Ynrlf ! lnrIlt of agriculture. II IIWII I Willi GIVES EMPLOYMENT TO FIFTY Has Room For a Hundred Workers, Who Make Brooms and Mops and Cano Chairs Cost $100,000 and la Equipped With All Appliances, With the opening of the now Bourne workshop for the blind New York now has n building constructed nnd equipped exclusively for tho making of brooms and mops and the caning of chairs by the blind. Fifty blind work els are already at work, and there Is room for 100 more. The workshop was built at a cost of $100,000 and is the gift of Miss Emily II. Bourne to the Now York Associa tion For the Illlnd. All four tloors are dovoted to the work of the blind, and there is even a roof garden, where the men may enjoy a cool smoke at lunch hour In the summer. The top lloor Is n restaurant, where the chair caners mid broonniinkers are served with lunch without charge each day, and tiiere are separate lockers and shower baths in the cellar. A blind man Is not only assured em ployment In the shop, but he is taught how to use the machines and to manu facture brooms and receives n small wage while he Is learning. The ex perienced workers are paid by piece work and are able to mako from 7 to $11! a week. Yet tho Income from tho sale of brooms and caning of chairs is I not sufficient to meet all running ex penses. Mako a Superior Article, The brooms that tho blind workers make are considered better than the machine made article. They arc used in the Hrst class hotels, a.id big sup plies are furnished to the Edison com pany. Western Electric company, Jer sey Central railroad and the Long Is- land railroad. With the present work-1 " isconsln living a norma, healthy lng force of fifty men It Is estimated ' 1,fe m!,y tale out a Policy after passing that the new workshop will bo able to n medical examination under the su turn out from twentv-five to fortr doz. i Pervi.siou of the state board of health. on brooms a day. The building Itself is constructed along the most modern lines. It has iron htalrcase, fireproof doors, con crete lloors and an elevator both for passenger and freight service. Every 1 workroom is equipped with an auto- inatlc sprinkler In case of fire. The pprlnklliig system Is fed from a 3,000 I gallon tank on the roof, and this In turn Is connected with a pump In tho cellar capable of refilling the tank in two minutes. There are nlso fire alarm boxes on every floor connecting directly with the nearest fire house. It is believed that every possible precaution has thus been taken against lire. Another featuro of the shop is a chute for waste material from the workrooms. All tho waste Instead of lielng allowed to collect or to He around the shop in baakoU Is swept Into tho chute, emptied into the cellar and con sumed in an incinerator. THE EXODUS OF GREEKS Question Whether Turkey Has Grounds For a Protest. Whether Turkey can or "will protest ngalnst the exodus of Greeks and their hundreds of thousands of dollars from this couutry to prosecuto the war in tho Balkans against Turkish rule is a quostion that Is occupying officials at Washington. Thus far Turkey has of fered no protest, but the attitude to bo assumed by tho United States in the event of such a contingency has raised a delicate question. State department officials already have given to it much thought. The right of freo speech is guaran teed to ths Greeks in the United States bo long as they keep within bounds, and they may send their earnings home, if they choose, without having to ex plain to what purpose the money shall be put when It arrives there. Thcro have been no armed military, expedi tions leaving United States shores, and under Internationa law no breach of In. tcrnatlonal peace has boon committed. It Is admitted, however, that the ex odus of numerous bands of Greek is for the avowed purposo of engaging in the war, and tho funds collected nnd sent abroad are to finance tho struggle. The question of whether tho tacit per mission of the United States to the con tinuation of such a condition is within the spirit of international law has raised a nice problem. CHOLERA SWEEPING INDIA. Also Prevalent In Asiatic Turkey. Troops May Infect Europe, Cholera again hi sweeping India, ac cording to a report to the public health service in Washington. In August in the province of Madras alone there were 21,000 case, with 10,020 deaths. In other parts of the empire an equally ominous mortality prevailed. While the scourge Is not so severe as in pre vious years, it Ik exacting a heavy toll. Cholera Is also said to be prevalent In Asiatic Turkey. With Turkish troops being hurried Into southern Europe be cause of the Balkan war, tho officials fear the jilague may spread through Europe. DR. CARL L ALSBERG TO SUCCEED WILEY.

TO CLEAN PEST HOLE OF PACIFIC The United States and Ecuador Will Go-operate, HARBOR LONG DREADEO. Threat to Bar Ships From the Harbor and City of Guayaquil Resulted In Ao tion Panama Health Funds Thought to Be Available. j The United States nnd Ecuador liave agreed to co-operate In bringing about the Immediate sanitation of the har bor nnd city of Guayaquil, which for generations has been known as the "pest hole of the Pacific." : This agreement was disclosed in a request received by the comptroller of the treasury from the wnr department for an opinion as to the live of funds In the undertaking. It Is believed the i comptroller's decision will lie favora-, ble. j Guayaquil has been for years notorl-, ous the world over as a breeding place , of yellow fever, cholera, smallpox and other deadly diseases. For years the state department has been endeavor ing to bring nbout a sanitation of the port, but now lu cleaning up is of vi tal Importance to the United States. . Army medical officers In the canal zone have declared that If Guayaquil re mains In Its present condition after the Pnuama canal Is opened ships from that port must be either barred from passage through the canal or uubjected to quarantine regulations so rigorous as to delay their pustsage for days or even weeks. 1 The shipping, of the entire world would be mennced,. the medical au thorities said, by allbwlng ships from Guayaquil to pass through the canal. An Important-Question. , To Ecuador also- the question Is of great Importance, involving the very prosperity of the country. Guayaquil is practically the only seaport of con sequence on her coast At first it was proposed that a corps ' of medical olliccrs be sent from the canal zone to Guayaquil, their salaries and expenses to be paid by -Ecuador for 1 whatever period they enraged in the work. The Judge advocate general of' the army, Judge Enoh. Crowiler,. de-, elded that such procedure would be uu- lawful. j It Is now planned to 'defray the ex penses of the preliminary survey out of , the funds appropriated, for saaitary work lu connection with, the- construc tion of the Panama canal. Precedent for this procedure Is found in the fact thnt the cities of Panama and Colon,, on the Isthmus, were sanitated under this appropriation. If the comptroller of the treasury decide- against the-expenditure the work w IF. await action by congress. Guayaquil has exncrsd' a terrible death toll, not so muc'i from her own people as from foreigners. It is remain- 1 bered as the city where Thomas Nast met his death by yellow fever. Officers of the United States public health and marine service have died there, and only last winter Commander Bertolette of the United States ablp Yorktown and a number of his men lost their lives in the peet holer from the same disease. j CIVIL SERVICE IN' ALL P. 07S.' I Classifications For Annolntment Among 36,236 Offices Affected.

Va- Siamese prince. cnnclcs lii all offices of Class B will be filled on. the recommoudatlon of post office inspectors after personal Investi gation, which method has been follow ed In several states during tho last few years with success. AN EARLY BONHEUR FOUND. Was Purchased Twenty-three Years Ago In San Francisco For $60. One of Rosa Bonhcur's earliest paint ings tins been found In San Francisco after having been listed as missing for many years. It depicts a peasant driv tog sheep and cattle down a sunken road and bears the initials "R. B., '30" In a corner. It was idontifled positively uy miss Anna Kiumpuc, long a per sonal friend of the painter. The picture is tho property of J. L. Cahlll, a painter and decorator, who bought It twenty-three years ago for fOO. It was brought hero from Europe in tho eighties by n wealthy eccentric named Banders, who accumulated a fortune and went abroad to spend it on old masters. PHYSICIAN EXPLAINS WHAT ARE LEUCOCYTES. Laymn Didn't Understand Bulletins on Roo6vlt'e Condition. Dr. W. A. Hvnns, one time Chicago i cf nmlssloiu'r of health, explains that part of the llouspvelt bulletins relating j to leucocytes and polytiucloura. Here j is what he i;ayu; I "What are leucocytes? What arc polynuelenrs? What is the algnlflcancu ' of 0,'JOO of the one and 78 per rent of i the other? I "The blood consists of a fluid In i which float cells. The cells are two main kinds red blood corpuscles and white blood corpuscles, or leucocyte. I The red blood corpuscles carry food and particularly the gaseous foods, such as oxygen. They enrry food to the tissues, while they carry wanle away from tho tissues. Again, It Is the gaseous waste lu the lutiu that the red cells transport "The white blood corpuscles arc the flghdng men of the blood. They waste no tfn.8 carrying food to the Ussuea nor waste from them. No bread wag on nor garbage wagon for them. They are the wildlers of the commonwealth. "Each cubic millimeter roughly about fifteen drops contains about 5,000,000,000 red blood cells nnd about 0.000 to 7,000 white cells, but tlie num- bor of white cells varies within broad limits because they wander lu and out of tho blood cells according as their work demand. If the blood be ex amined today the number might not exceed 5,000 of them in the same quan tity of blood. "Not only will all the reserves be called awny from their resting plnces by the bugle call, bnt new cells will be made-with great rapidity. When germs of certain kinds get' into wounds the leucocytes gather around them, en gulf, eat nnd digest them or else die In tho attempt. "Not all leucocytes are equally tK tlvo fighters. There 1b a kind that twists, turns and moves' around so ac tively that its nucleus weems to split up Into two- or more nuclears. These nre called the- polynuclears, Ordinarily they make up about CO or 70 per cent of the leucocytes. They are the light cavalry of the- human army of defense. "It Is their duty to skirmish, find tho enemy, bring hfm to bay and hold him until the heavier arms come up. After the artillery and! Infantry have arrived the cavalry continues in the flghfc "A white blood count of 9,200, with; polynuclears 72 per cent, means that no infection has manifested itself." WOULD TUNNEL THE ROCKIES, Newman Erb Proposes State Coj-opera-. tion With Railroads. A proposal for a great tunnel to' pierce the backbone of the continent will be taken up at the next session of the Colorado legislature. It has- been placed before the people of the' state by Newman Erb, who has recently been placed In control of tho Denver, Northwestern and Pacific railroad, more familiarly known as the Moffat line. Mr. Erb is making arrangements 1 for the extension of this road to Salt Late City, from -which point it will eventually go to th Pacific coast to become part of a great transcontinen tal system. Mr. Erb's chief plc to the murines men of Denver is that tho idea of Dn vld Moffat, who died before he-could carry ont bis plan to put a traffic tun nel through the Rocky mountain, on an air line between Denver and Salt Lake City, should be carried out. He-would not want it for his own line alone, but would have it driven for the benefit of a" Ilwy that mfcht want to. use It. With such a tunneJ the long detours now taKen by the Union Padnc and Denver and Itio Grande lines would be made unnecessary. j FIFTY SMITHS' IN HARVARD. But Only One Aab. and One A B.

That the postal savings depository is an incentive to thrift is emphasized In a report from the Panama canal tone. Whereas, on June 80, 1011, canal nd railway employees had placed J3S0.0OO In money orders, payable to themselves at the office of issue, on June 80, 1013, five months after the postal savings system had been estab lished on the cone, the employees had a total of 1390,000 on deposit Of this mount $307,000 was In thu postal sav ings banks.
