Together - Estimate of a
Washington Expert.
In various ways during the last few
Years the public press as well as our
statesmen, economists and busine s
men have been calling attention to the
marve!lou> resources of this nation and
the wonderful development of the sarne
in ;he last half century, writes L.
Powers, chief statistician, Bureau of
Cervix, Washington. Nothing, however,
tires been written or spoken which sets
ior::a that mngnitude and growth more
grapiecally Than the estimates of nation-
al wealth recently published by the
United States Bureau of the Census, says
the New York Herald, Three estimates
were for the years 1900 and 19u1. For
the former year they assign to contin-
ental United States --which is the Milled
Slates exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the Phillippines-a valu-
tation of $8e517.306.775; for 1904 the es-
timate was $107,104,211,917. The mag-
nitude of this wealth may be measured
by comparing it with that of a number
el other countries.
I1USSIA ANI) BRITAIN.
For such comparisons the figures for
1900 must be employed, since the latest
estimates of European nati--,nal wcath
-thrxse of Mulhall -are for 1896. in
that year the wealth of Greet Britain
was estimated as $57,453,899,000, and at
!Russia as $31,267.262.5(kt /The total
'for the Iwo was $8'x.7'11,161,500, which
Va practically identical with the estlmales
Yor the United Slates in 1900. All known
Sects tell of greater wealth accumulated
fr, the United States since the years
mentioned than in the countries nam-
ed.
;fence it Is safe to assume that the
wealth of the United Stales differs but
little from That of Great iiritain and
Russia combined and is slightly in ex-

OTHER COUNTfnIES.
The remaining countries of Europe
• may be grouped together. Those for
which we have estimates give an aggre-
gate of $71,783.505,.500, as follows:-Aus-
aria, $a1,057,643,00); Italy, $15,378,140,-
000; Spain, $11.582.270,(100; Portugal,

Danub'an stales, $4,9!,3.0.29,000, and
Greece, $1.160,363,000. No estimates are
given of Turkey or Hungary, but allow.
Ing a liberal estimate for these countries
- it Ls found That the wealth of the United
Slates is as 'greet, if not greater, than
all these lesser countries of Europe and
that it Ls al leaaat one -iii rd as great as
that of all Europe.
GROWTH OF WEALTH.

Lord Res -cherry Pleads for Preservation
of Bridge Made Famous
by "Robbie."
W'i:hin the Banqueting Hall of Glas-
gow. Mune:teal Buildings recently n
'noting was held iu furtherance r f
the scheme for preserving the AaW
Brig of Ayr. The chief speaker was
the Earl of Itosebery.
Lord Resebery said he had come to
Glasgow on many previous occasions,
end in many different characters, but
he never before came in the character
of what their poet whom they were
thinking of that day would have called
"A Jolly lieggar." He was a jolly beg-
gar that day -(cheers) -al least as jolly
as ho could be under the circumstances,
because the avocation of a beggar was
not very congenial to himself for want
of practic,. (f.auk'diler.'
Well, he had begged in Edinburgh.
He appealed to the old "Chuckle Reekie,'
as Burns called Edinburgh. Ile hoped
the old Chuckle was going to lay sone
eggs. What he was asking of then
that day was a certain sum of money
to be got within a very limited time to
save what was not merely the subject
of one of Burns' famous poems, but al-
so an objrct of national antiquarian in•
teres). It was very desirable to save
the Auld Brig. Ile regarded that as ab-
solutely necessary; otherwise, suppose
they Nile! to find the sum, they might
have the Auld Brig purchased by some
great American multi -millionaire, who
would have all the stones numbered and
have them again built together in his
back yard at Chicago.
STONE OF DESTINY.
The real feeling he had at heart in
this matter was to avert that stain from
Scotland, and from the Scottish escut-
cheon, which he thought would be ab-
solutely indelible. They had not many
monuments in Scotland. Their principal
stone monument was the Coronation
Chair in Enginnd. (Laughter.) The
stone of Destiny was a stone associated
no doubt with many tragic and inter-
esting traditions, but he was not so sure
that the Stone of Destiny itself was so
interesting as this Auld Brig of Ayr -
(cheers) -and if they allowed that brig
to be destroyed -if they allowed it ;o
be replaced by a structure, however
valuable and however interesting, and
however commodious that new structure
might be, he did not think that they
should be able to hold up their heads
again.
WHAT BURNS DID.
Did they ever realize what Runts did
for Scotland? Did They realise how
completely he transformed our national
life and our national character? It was
perfectly true that the great rival ma-
gician, Sir Walter Scott, did in a sense
more for Scotland than even Burns did,
because he enveloped the whole coun-
try in a haze of romance which could
not die away; but Scolt had never dwelt
in the hearts of the Scottish people as
Burns had done. His birthday at this
moment was celebrated in few centres,
whereas the natal annivrrsary of Burns
was a subject of festival wherever the
urn shone throughout the whole civil.

Notable Record of Events Which Shoos
Progress of Medical
Science.
Nearly fifty pages of the last issue o1
the London Lancet are devoted to a re•
view of the outstanding medical events
r1 the past twelve tnoliths. It is a not-
e,...• record, from which we can make
but a few ex:r'acts, altogether inadequate
in themselves to represent the progress
el ►naLcal science during 190;. Lancet
itself theLs the task becoming more and
more difficult, it observes:--
"Year
bserves:-
"Yca r Ly year, as medical science en-
larges her boundaries, it becomes more
impossible within the scope of one ar-
I.cle even to mention the faces and de-
velopments which rightly fall under the
cc,mprehensive title of the Annus Medi-
cus. Every year the inroads of medi-
csne upon psychology, upon chemistry,
and upon all branches of physics become
more penetrating, and every year the
invader makes new annexations."
NOMENCLATURE OF DISEASE.
With this reservation, the following
quotations from the Lancet's review
will doubtless be found of general in-
terest :-
The special committee of the Royal Col-
lege of Physicians of London appoint-
ed in 1902 to revise the nomenclature
of diseases has now concluded its labors
and copies of the work have been dis-
tributedr The registration of classifica-
tion of the cause., of fatal diseases are

ency at Somerset (louse, and we doubt
not that the publication of a new au-
thorized nomenclature will be welcom-
ed by the Registrar -General and his
medical adviser as an invaluable aid in
Weir work.
SURGERY OF THE HEART.
Tho surgery of the heart shows a
steady advancement. Only a few years
have passed since first an attempt was
made to close by sutures a wound of
the heart, and to Farina must be given
the credit of this bold advance in aur-
gery. 1t is true that his patient died
four days after tee operation, but tete
dealt) was due to pneumonia, and there-
fore, the operation can hardly be looked
upon as a failure. itehns was the first
successful case, and now many in-
stances are on record in which a stab
wound of the heart has been success-
fully sutured. We have had compara-
tively few cases in this country; they
are more common in Italy, where knives
are more freely used in quarrels than
in England.
ENDOWMENT OF MOTHERHOOD.
The continuous decline In the pro-
ductivity of the population of these is-
lands is a subject which attracts a
oonsiderable amount of attention and
has recently been brought very forcibly
before the profession by the publication
of two stroking articles by Mr. Sidney
Webb on "Physical Degeneracy or Race
Suicide.' Ile believes that the produc-
tion of large families would be promoted
by the furnishing of free Otlen/Inn& lo
the mothers, the feeding of the infant
or of the mother gratuitously when
necessary. and the promotion of such
measures as (hese ensuring free meals
for school children, and further assist
ante even to the extent of lax -supported
higher M-hools for their better educa-
tion. In This manner he would alempt
"te endkoe motherhood" and to promote
the birth of a larger number of chil-
dren. Mr. Webb has done good in again
calling attention to the mailer of great
interest to ell and especially to medical
men.
TIiI. PUBLIC IIEAI.T11.

gnornnce and indifference which •t ,t

"When SI. Isaac's is finished time
Clouse of Itomanoff will fall."
Such is the prophecy which a na-
tion's superstition has engraved •upon
the gilded donne of St. Petershurgs
wondered cathedral, say. Mennen Swat-
ter in London Daily Mirror.
The lutetium people believe it, 'or,
alas, they believe almost anything, and
the priests, whether They believe it kr
not, are afraid of its significance, and
AO, al hough St. Isaac's has been finish-
ed for years, workmen are always pre-
tending to add something to its glory.
They move a siaflolding some times
and pre:end to paint. They take a few
hoards down and put then) up again,
and, tecnuse of their playing at work,
the wonderful outline of St. Isaac's is
elenatly marred by u semblance of
industry,

inside are candles and lamps, and
jewels worth millions --wonderful pic-
tures which represent the art of a con-
tinent, diamonds that would save a
t•ankrupl Slate, masses of silver, masses
of gold, and wonderful piles of marble
that the gods themselves coukl not have
raised.
The eye becomes sick with admiration,
and the stomach almost revolts al the
thought of so much glory. It is all so
beautiful, and yet all so barbarous.
Right in the middle of the wonderful
dome is another bogus scaffolding. Two
or three workmen are pretending to do
something.
They are doing something. They are
bolstering up the idea that Si. Isaac's
is not yet finished.
Priests know that the moment the
Wonderful pile has reached its comple-
lien the superstitious Russian, who be-
lieves anything, will believe the annihila-
tion of the ftomanolls to be only a mat-
ter of weeks.
PRIESTS MAKE FORTUNES.
The Greek priesthood, setts& and
brutal and drunken as they are, do not
merely share with the savage Cossacks
the glory of being the backbone of the
autocracy. Incidentally, They make a
little bit for themselves.
1n the Kazan Cathedral, which is situ-
ated about a mile from S1. Isaac's and
which occupies much the same position
I. it that Wentinter Abbey does to St.
Pati's there are enough precious stones
lo pay a nation's debts.
Jes:e:e are everywhere. On the ikons
with which the walls are covered, are
rubies as large as pigeons' eggs, and
pearls which reflect all the colors of a
d,:ves wing. Fouls %ave given them
and the priests have made fortunes by
actually charging commission upon the
gifts.
And then the smaller ikons, which
have been made sacred try a motion
from the ligures of a drunken priest!
They stand at every corner of every
tercel, in every theatre, at every sta-
tion, in every theatre, at every station,
end in every public house.
