Sir Frederick, Treves Declares Ase. peet 111orc: Aeassuring. A despatch from London, Eng- land, says: In recording the im- portant results of the year's ex- Periences of the British Radium In- stitute, Sir Frederick Treves, the 'famous surgeon, in an address an- nounced the discovery that radium emanations have, anyway, tempor- arily the same properties as true radium. He said : "We have proved that for curative purposes -the emanation within 24 to 48 hours of its being collected is as good as radium itself." It had been further discovered, said Sir Frederick, that water charged with radium emanations became 5,000 times es strong as the strongest known natural water. Radio -active water has marvellous curative effects, especially in cases of rheumatic gout and similar affec- tions of the joints. Patients who 'were treated at the institute had to drink half a pint oo this water daily for six days a week over ie period of six weeks. Forty per cent. of these patients had shown marked benefit, and in some instances two courses had apparently cured them. ' : Sir Frederick said that the Ra- dium Institute was distributing the emanations to physicians whose pa- tients were unable to attend the institute, and was sending sealed tubes daily to all parts of the coun- try. One gram of the institute's Dotal of four grams of radium had been set apart for producing daily emanations equivalent to 150 grammes of of pure radium. The records in regard to treat- ment of cancer supplemented in an interesting manner the achieve- ments at Middlesex Hospital by the same method, which was described in the cables a short time ago_ tti ' ARE INCORRECTLY TRAINED.

A despatch from Toronto says: Chief Justice R. M. Meredith sen- tenced James Dickenson, convicted of manslaughter in connection with the death of Lucy Ives, whose neck was dislocated in a row at Smith's Hotel, to six months in jail. His Lordship took a very lenient view of the case in accordance with the verdict of the jury, which included, a strong recommendation for mer- cy, Dickenson will serve his sen-„ tence at the Central Prison. Dickenson was employed as bar porter at the hotel and on the morning of the affray he was hav- ing his breakfast in the kitchen when the dead woman slapped him and persisted in annoying him.

Waterman Company, Limited, Montreal Penalty for Desiireyizig or Injuring Trees in Ontario, In legislation for the protection of shade and street trees, the 'Pro- vince of Ontario sets a good exam- ple = for the rest of the 'Dominion. Under the Tree Planting Act of the Province of Ontario, ; trees planted or left standing on the public high- ways (and also on toll roads) be- come the property of the owner of the land adjacent to the highway and nearest to such trees, Thus any company or individual destroy- ing or damaging in any way (even tying a horse to such trees without the owner's consent, isliable to a fine not to exceed $25 and costs, or imprisonment for not more than thirty days, half of the fine to 'go to the informant. Telephone com- panies, who, in the stringing of wires, very often seriously, injure and mutilate shade trees, are apt to justify themselves to the proper- ty owners by asserting their legal right to do such 'pruning' because of established precedent. In this case, no such practice, however, long it has been tolerated by pro- perty holders, becomes legally jus- tifiable, and such companies are lust as liable for damages the last time they injure the trees as they are the first time. However long a wire may have been attached to a tree, the owner, if he has property in the tree, can compel its removal. While even the owner may not remove shade trees on highways without the consent of the munici- pal council, yet, on the other hand, not even the municipal council may remove any live trees -without the consent of the owner of the pro- perty in front of which the tree stands, unless such tree is within thirty feet of other trees, and even then the owner must be given at least two days' notice and can de- mand compensation if he has plant- ed and protected such tree. The property -owner who is aware of his rights in these respects will take greater interest in and greater care of the trees bordering the highway opposite his property. He will also have more incentive to plant shade trees. count for more qualification and thatthe students ought not to be under the continual fear of exami-', nation. Hes said the Chinese sys- tem of education which is directed to a single end, the passing of ex- aminations, shows perfectly the blighting influence of examinations and how they sterilize the imagina- tion. ., "The great chasm between educa- tion and examination is," he con- tinued, "shown by the statistics of aspirants to the Royal College of Surgeons. Half of the entrants fail, yet these are the very pick of the students. The lectures ought to be reduced. The day of the lecture is past. It ought to be an offence on the part of asenior student to attend a lecture. "In the case of inefficient stu- dents parents ought to be told after a year or two they would never make decent doctors. There ought to be no written papers at the final examination. Watch the man handle a patient. Fifteen minutes at the bedside is worth three hours at the examination table. The stu- dent needs that the incubus of ex- amination should be lifted from his soul. We make the study of otir profession an intolerable burden by examinations and the enormous ex-, pension of the subjects of the cur- riculum." The address loud cheers. JOHN R. BOOTH HURT.

Two Persons Killed and Traffic De. moralized in New York City. A despatch from New York says: A rainstorm that reached almost cloudburst proportions descended on New York on Wednesday and began a record precipitation that flooded streets, tied up the siib- way, hampered surface and rete vested traffic in city and suburbs for several hours, and caused inamenifie property' loss. • Two persons'. weri=; killed and several injured. Income. ing trains from all directions were delayed, some of them several hours, as cuts and tunnels resem- bled rivers within canyons. Within the city the traffic congestion was such that the resources of the tran- sit companies and the ability of the police to handle the crowds were severely taxed. TRAFFIC SHOWS INCREASE.

The total freight carried by 3,182 vessels for September amounted to 10,910,365 tons, against 11,489,442 for the month of August, carried by 3,440 vessels. While the vessel pas- sages locked through 'the American side were 1,100 more than through the Canadian canal, the total ton- nage through the Canadian .side ex- ceeded the American side by 1,545,- 695 tons.

A despatch from Paris says: Six persons were killed by an explosion of petroleum on the French steamer Aurone at Algiers on Sunday when somebody dropped a lighted cigar- ette and the fluid was ignited.. Ntelolomosonsineenneneno TIDE WORD IN REVIEW A Complicated Affair. The proposal in France to tax unpro- ductive members of the community, that is to say, celibates and childless couples. promises, if carried into effect, to be a welcome addition to the revenue of a state supposed to be straining its re- sources, though that is probably not the ,baste on which it is founded. Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the statistical expert, says that there are in France at the present time 1,360,000 celebates, 1,800,000 families with- out children, 2,650.000 families with two children, and 2,400,000 families with only one child. It is proposed to fix the "com- pulsory" family at three children and to tax every .citizen who has reached the age of forty-five without having three children living, or who reached the age of twenty-one. The tax is to be $6 00 per child falling short of the minimum of three. This tax would, it is calculated, yield about $100,000,000 annually to the state. A little addition to its income for which the state will be truly thankful. The idea of a compulsory family may lead to awkward results. Many couples would willingly sacrifice much to have three children, others may have con- scientious scruples. But in the case of a family of two must a third be adopted. and if three is the minimum is there no maximum? If families are to be thus re- gulated br the shite would it not be bet- ter to adopt a sliding scale according to income? Think of the appalling prospect for the millionaire who might Sad that he was scheduled to bring up twenty children or more. Surely if the man with $1.000 a year must have three children the man with $60,000 a year should have 160. Taxes are usually arranged so that the man with a small income has nothing to pay and the man with the large en,e bears his burden. The minimum fes a family inevitably leads to the same con - elusion for it is making children equiva- lent to taxes. Again a married couple might have five children before the age of forty-five and lose four of them. It might be deemed careless but such things have been known to happen. They would find themselves penalized equally with the couple without children. Then. too; in order to escape the tax a poor parish priest would have to break his vows of celibacy. Or will the church be exempt? The proposal will have one excellent effect in .such a country as A despatch from Winnipeg says: The unprecedented and rapid move- ment of grain through Winnipeg again evidenced itself when the manager of the local clearing house gave out his weekly statement. The figures indicate an advance of about 30 per cent, over the corres- ponding week of 1912, and an in- crease of 50 per cent.' over the cor- responding week for 1911.
