Sir Frederick Treves Tells Why Ile Gave Up His Work. "I gave it up because there was too much to do, Performing big operations every morning makes exis- tence rather trying. I got tired of my duties; they bored me to death; so after six and twenty, years of practice I retired." This is the way in which Sir Fred- erick Troves, the eminent surgeon, explains In an interview appearing in a London journal how he came to practically give up his profession. "Not that my labors were break- ing me down," he goes on to explain, "Nothing would, I think, do that. I have no nervous system, not hav- ing had need of one, and I have never had to keep to my bed," "I was invariably downstairs at 5 o'clock, I breakfasted at half -past seven, and almost without exception, there was an operation at nine. "Then, right up to one o'clock, there wore patients to see. After that I went out, and having lunched in my carriage, devoted the after- noon to consultations. When did I get )some? AL all hours, This, as I have said, was a sort of existcnde of which anybody was liable to gro* tired." One of Sir Frederick's personal triumphs was mentioned by tum last week at the sheeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society. "ItJi s as on a^• as 1887 " he g O said,"that I venture to sum • st ed suggest thacases of recurrent appendicitis should bo treated by removal of the appendix during tie period of quies- cence. "My proposal was not very enthu- siastically received at the time, but of late years I have no ground for complaint on this head.

Lord Brassey Favors Torpedo. boat Destroyer Class—To Wateh Other Navies, Lord Brassey, 10 the course of a lecture to the Institution of (11v11 Engineers on metal shipbuilding, Bald the latest oflielul statistics showed England held a commanding position numc1iral strength of its fleet, hut the rapidity with which vessels be- came obsolete made it imperative that. tho designs and principles of construction of future vessels should receive careful attention, .Lorin firassey thought they should earefilty watch the work in progress for foreign navies, Grid he instanced four vessels or the Vittorio 1)10naa- uel typo now building for the Italian navy. In the growth of din1en810115, i?nglund has always lod the way, ho said, and in the hands of her stt111ul 110y ac'11111COB the growing dimen- sions had given more than a propor- tionate gain in Oghling efficiency, Mit ou the other side various argu- ments could be advanced that in naval hattles numbers must tell, and if units %vete lens costly more of them could be befit, DANGERS STILL PRESENT, Increase of size gave no immunity from the dangers of darkness, strand- ing, or collision. From 1')101 or tor- pedo or huhmarino mines conning tower's could give no protection to the commanders. Lord Tiresscy was of the °Mellon that It should nut be dinWult to de- sign a high speed vessel of the toe- peclo-boat destroyer class, heavily armored, armed with torpedo tubes, and with one heavy gun in the bow's. Malty of these could be built for the cost of one battleship, and they might do more than heavy ships to decide the issue of a hard fought day. Ile also suggested that some British battleship might with advan- tage be similar to those now being built for Italy and Clcrmany with a displacement of about 18,000 tons, Without advocating a revolution in shipbuilding policy or desiring that England hack a single beg ship less on the navy list, he contended. that in the future shipbuilding some vese sets should be included of a type suitable for narrow and shallow wa- ters, THE SUBMARINE, As to the submarine, Lord Brassey thought it essentially a defensive weapon. It was valuable for harbor defence, but its ability to navigate the seas had to be proved. As to cruisers, he considered the latest British examples would • well boar comparison with those under construction elsewhere. Two types Were necessary—namely, the scouts of the fleet, in which spend and coal endurance were essential qualities, and cruisers for the protection of commerce, in which fighting efficiency must bo combined with these quali- ties. The latter typo must be large. With regard to scouting cruisers, he pointed out that the teat' in the Par East had shown that cruise's having no protection by vertical ar- mor hardly could be reckoned as combatants.

Upon this I turned upon him in great wrath, and told him I could not ae- eept such a statement, and required to know the grounds upon which it was founded. Ile said that it was what other people suggested, upon which, with great warmth, I told hits he was surrounded in his Palace by people who knew nothing of Eur- ope and European politics, or of the political forces of the world, and that they were driving him and his Empire to the devil, I could not help thinking that the Sultan was rather pleased than otherwise at hearing his friends abused.

Xis tirst words were: 'Providence ltas again mercifully sav- ed rue." In a Ielter to Lord Salisbury de- scribing the dreadful alTak', Lord Dufforin wrote: "Ile (the Emperor) then told hue that the Empress was aaleop when the catastrophe occurred—that the noise had not awoke her. and that She, was still unaware of what had happened.
