NOTES, QUERIES, AND REPLIES.

He that questioneth much shall learn much.-Bacon.

St. Thomas's Hospital.-We are sorry the mistake occurred. Perhaps on another occasion it would be better for the authorities to send their elaborate scheme after rather than before the events referred to. The Land of Quacks.-The Japan Weekly Mail of April 16 states that there are 65,200 doctors practising in Japan, of whom only 504 have legitimate diplomas, and of these latter fifty are denizens of Tokiyó. It follows, therefore, that there are 64,696 individuals playing fast and loose with the lives of their fellow-creatures throughout the countrythat is to say, an average of one quack to 470 quacked. Boarding-out Pauper Children.-Mr. Henley, the Local Government Board Inspector for the Birmingham district, in addressing the Board of Guardians last week in reference to an inspection he had just made of the Marston-green Homes, stated that he had not been an advocate for the establishment of these Homes, but he confessed he was extremely gratified with the extraordinary change which had taken place in the physical appearance of the children as compared with their condition when in the workhouse. They not only had the appearance of being physically stronger, but there was an entire absence of that fear in the children when speaking to anyone, which bespoke their being brought up as mere machines.

Ralph B. S., Bayswater.-By the recent orders and instructions, medical officers serving in India who may wish to exchange to England under the provisions of General Order 48, of 1881, will be required to forfeit their pay for the interval between their departure and the arrival of their successors.

Paterfamilias.-No doubt the Scotch universities are popular institutions. The percentage of university students to the population is larger in Scotland than elsewhere, being one in 700; or more correctly speakingdeducting the imported students who come from England, Ireland, India, and the colonies to study medicine in the Scotch university schools-one in 800. In England the proportion of university students to population is one to about 4500; in the German Empire one to 1600. But it is to be remembered that the universities of Scotland differ greatly from the universities of England as to expense and in many other ways. A Provincial Fellow.-At the meeting of Fellows last year the greatest number of votes was polled by Mr. Cadge, of Norwich, viz., 174, with fourteen plumpers. Mr. Bryant, of London, had the largest number of plumpers, viz., fifteen.

Octogenarians.-The obituary of the Times of the 21st inst. contained the deaths of just half a score of octogenarians, viz., seven gentlemen and three ladies whose united ages amounted to 836 years, giving an average of eighty-three years and six months to each. The oldest was a gentleman of eighty-nine, the youngest of the same sex being eighty-one years of age; of the ladies the oldest was eighty-six, and the youngest also eighty-one years of age. Oleo-margarine.-Mr. Archibald considers the manufacture of "oleomargarine" as legitimate a business, if properly conducted, as that of milling wheat, and when extracted from pure sweet beef-fat by the Mege process, that the product is closely allied to sweet dairy-butter in every essential quality. It is admitted, however, that the manufacture is very liable to abuses. Mr. Archibald calculates that the cattle slaughtered annually in the United States yield sufficient fat to make more than five hundred million pounds of oleo-margarine. The shipments are chiefly to Holland-the Dutch excel in the art of manufacturing it into "butterine," which can be landed in the London market in forty-eight hours. There are stated to be over one hundred butterine factories now working in Holland, and the business is rapidly increasing. Good butterine, Mr. Archibald says, is considered to be wholesome, and far preferable to bad butter.

Meteorologist.-The American Government expedition to establish a meteorological station at Lady Franklin Bay sailed from Baltimore for St. John's on the 14th inst., where a steamer will take the party to their destination. The station is one of a number to be established in high northern altitudes, and the co-operation of England, Denmark, Holland, Germany, and Austria is assured in the work.

Census Returns: Australian Colonies.-The recent census returns for Victoria show the population of the colony to be 70,000 below the estimated number. Approximate returns for New South Wales give the population of the colony at 750,000, being an increase of 246,000 in the last ten years. The returns for South Australia show a population of 277,000, those for Tasmania 116,000, and for New Zealand 489,561. Vaccination: An Irreconcilable Opponent.-Mr. Peter Taylor, M.P., has a motion on the notice paper in the House of Commons, for the discussion of which no day has yet been fixed, to the effect that in the present unsettled condition of medical opinion in regard to the safety of using ordinary humanised lymph, as also the safety, effectiveness, and practicability of the use of animal vaccine, it is, in the opinion of the House, inexpedient and unjust to enforce vaccination under penalties upon those who regard it as unadvisable or dangerous.

A Student.-What Miss Lonsdale said was, that doctors are no better judges of nursing than nurses are of drugs.

The Homœopathic Medical Officer of Health.-We learn from a daily paper that a crowded and tumultuous meeting was held last week at Hastings to take into consideration the recent appointment of the medical officer of health, a homoeopathist, but at no time could the speakers obtain a hearing, and the meeting was eventually dissolved.

Open Spaces.-The Open Spaces Committee of the Kyrle Society is enrolling a body of associates, each of whom will watch for the Society, in his or her district, reporting all cases of threatened enclosure of commons or stoppage of footpaths. The names of these associates are to be known to the Committee only.

[ocr errors]

Sophistication in Paris.-The Paris Municipal Council founded some time ago a laboratory, where articles of food could be sent for analysis. The May report of the provisions of every kind tested shows, inter alia, that of 231 samples of wine, 184 were condemned, only 6 being returned as "good"; and of milk, 83 out of 105 samples were worthless. On the other hand, 5 out of 7 specimens of coffee and tea were approved, and out of 26 samples of bread and pastry 19 passed the test. A further examination of painted toys showed a lamentable want of wholesomeness. Out of 38 specimens not fewer than 84 were registered as “bad.” COMMUNICATIONS have been received from

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CONGRESS.-The sum of ten guineas has been voted by the South Wales and Monmouthshire Branch of the British Medical Association to the funds

of the Congress. On Wednesday, at 5 p.m., a meeting of the General Committee of the Congress, at which Sir. W. Jenner presided, took place, and a report was received concerning the preparations made up to this time by the Executive and Reception Committees. In the evening a soirée was given to members of the General Committee by Sir J. Paget, at 1, Harewood-place.

INCREASE OF MYOPIA IN FRENCH SCHOOLS.-For a long time past it has been observed that myopia is developed in the Paris schools in consequence of the ill adaptation of the desks and seats and the faulty distribution of light. The architects have done a good deal to remedy the defects, but it is of importance that certain practical rules, based on sound principles, should be inculcated. To this end the Minister of Public Instruction has just nominated a commission, with the object of its investigating the influence of the material conditions of school arrangements on the production of myopia and of the measures which should be opposed to them. The commission, which is to be presided over by Prof. Gavarret, General Inspector of Schools, comprises the following members:-MM. Javal, Panas, Gariel, and Perrin (a member of the Army Conseil de Santé); M. Montmahan, Inspector-General of Primary Education; MM. Masson and Hachette, publishers; and M. GauthierVillars, a printer.-Union Méd., June 14.
