Too much praise cannot be accord- ed a community for taking hold as Hudson did in her time of emergency. A few days of prompt and vigorous repressive measures on the part of the health officer .and local author- ities marked a change for the better and the disease is now under control. The epidemic shows the worth of vaccination as a smallpox preventive. The disease was stamped out in the Phillipine Islands in 1898, through vaccination and quarantine. Only with the coming of forgetful, newer gen- erations, has smallpox been returning to the Islands. Periodic vaccination practiced everywhere would obliterate smallpox from the earth.

He is more or less confined People. to stuffy, badly ventilated rooms. It is Current. A Dying City. The removal of the Russian capital to Moscow meant a sentence of death against Petrograd, which is an ent're- ly artificial city. Without any geogra- phical or economic advantages, built on a marshy swamp, periodically de- vastated by floods, the former capital owed its existence to the flat of Peter the Great. It could survive only as a city of luxury and pleasure, as a centre of the court and of society, of the bureaucracy and of the army. Other European cities like Trieste, Riga and Vienna saw the currents of commercial life diverted from them af- ter the World War, but their prosper- ous days are sure to return. On the contrary, Petrograd, having lost its po- litical importance as the capital of an empire, can never recover. It can neither be revived nor transformed; It can never adapt itself to the new con- ditions. In the near future tourists will visit the ruins of Petrograd as our forefathers would contemplate the ruins ot medieval home. Atter atx years of Soviet rule Petrograd is al- ready a dying city. The death of Petrograd is the death of one of the world's most wonderful cities. For Petrograd was built on an even more colossal scale than Moscow. Even more than Moscow it is a city of pelacee and granite embankment, of spacloue parks and treasures of art, Its cyclopean monuments were the ex. preaaion of a despotic will which con- trolled the labor of countless slaves, Think of the Winter Palace, the larg' est royal residence in the world, burneddown in 1837, within twelve menthe it was rebuilt at a Cost of a hundred millions of money and thous- ands of human ]Ives. In Czarist Rue• sfa, even as in Soviet Russia, human rives were always held cheap. From His Point of View. Minnie Manchaser-"Do you believe in love at first sight, Mr. Canby?"

How to Handle Battery. . If you use a storage battery you probably have seen the effect of a spilling acid on floors or carpets. Get a small box, or build one, say three inches larger all around than your bat- tery, Paint or stain the outside to match the furniture. Paint the inside with several coats of heavypaint, or asphaltum paint, if possible. Have no open cracks. Put casters or easy -slide knobs on the bottom of the box. It will keep the battery safe, keep acid off the floor and afford a place to keep a receptacle for the hydrometer and a small bottle of distilled water, all to- gether and all safe.—G. M. C.

Where it Comes From. Violinists often wonder, no doubt, whence comes the hair on the bows, without which the most eloquent Stradivarius violin is practically voice- less. The Scientific American informs us that horses are bred in Russia for this purpose. The finest bows are con- structed with hair from white horses, and special ranches are maintained for the breeding of horses whose hair is of that color, The primary sorting of hair takes place at the ranch, from which it goes to the bleacher, who bleaches the hair with sulphur. It is bound up in hanks of 100 to 160 halts, and the hanks are then ready for export. One hank us- ually goes to a bow.
