No more important question has of late been started in sanitary medicine than that which relates to the communicability of consumption. Because it is the disease that more than all others ravages the human race a close investiga tion of its causes becomes the leading inquiry of all etiology, all the more when we remember how many perish from allied lung diseases. Many cases of bronchial irritation or inflammation as well as of pneumonia either terminate speedily or leave the lung tissue so Impaired as to result inaconsumptive degeneration. We have long recognized the fact that tubercle may be a hereditary affection, and tiiat many children are born Into the world with an impaired vitality from this cause. But this is so often eradicated by proper care, and bears euch a small proportion to the absolute number ot cases, that the expla- nation is not adequate. Undrained soils and general conditions of foul air are often and very properly referred to as factors in the causation of lung diseases. But, in addition, the question has been frequently ‘started whether a well person may not contract the disease from another. In other words, whether, if not direct- ly_ contagious, one’s lungs may not become affected because of one breathing the air which has been so contaminated. This idea of con- tagiousness is not new. There was a time when the consumptive was avoided and when in the southern countries, such as Italy, men fled from their presence for fear of the inhalation of their breath. From time to time writers have related instances in which a fond wife in perfect health has seemed to become a victim because of devo- tion to her sick husband. or a mother has seemed to receive it from, rather than impart it to, her child. Those who have traced such cases have generally been able to find that the attend- ant has become affected at some periods when his or her own general heaith was below par. Surely very many such apparent cases can be adduced and wouid seem conclusive were it not that an equal number can be cited where there was no visible effect. But the recent discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Koch and the con- firmation “his experiments have received trom various sources Impart new significance to these views. If, as now seems probable, the specific character of these bacilli is about to be establish- ed, it conveys with it a strong intimation that if this microbe or infected particle finds its way into a healthy lung, it may there set up an action exactly analogous to that it had_before accomplished elsewhere. ‘This theory of infec- tion through transportation does not assert that most cases arise from this canse or that all that inhale the infected particle will be affected. These influitesimal orders of plant life have their laws of soil and of propagation as deflniteas those of higher orders. Many of them perish because they find no pabulum in the tissue on which they light or no surtace fitted for their lodgment and growth. The resistance which some show to sease is not accidental, but often a testimony to the perfection of that part of the organism on which this or that infective particle is found to depend. Lower plant life has itschoices Just as real as animals have theirs and is ephemeral and very perishable out. of its propagating centers, It is fortunate that so much of infini- tesimal life fails to finds its nurture. Thusthere is a sense In which many a one takes a disease, but the disease obtains no hold. But unfor- tunately, the langs’are exposed to various forms otimpairment. Sometimes it is only the cover- ing mucous membrane. At other tlie bronchial tubes are involved. Then the tissue itself is more directly involved, as in pneumonia. Or weakened vessels and connective tissue recelye deposits which act as vicious foreign substances and set up inflammations of degraded tendencies. There is so much foul and befouled air in the world, and especiaily in the close yicinage of breathing life, that we often have to take in too much of the air which has been in the lungs of some oneelse. Asarule, this ¢ only an addi- tional burden upon the forces Of life, and easily worked off ifit!s only the material from bronchial irritation or acute febrile action. But if the air has @ specific character, as in tubercle, and is laden with some special infectivethere is then always the possibility that it wiil find a soil so congenial asto attempt residence. Thus the new man becomes the host of an enemy tht may so on to establish dominion over him. This is still more true of sputa or of the dried expec- toration mingled with the air than of the air itself. This was ng ago spoken or as a source of evil in close soldiers’ barracks. Whooping- cough is believed to be conveyed more by sputa than in any other way. It must, therefure, be said that as the case now stands consumption is one of those diseases that Is possibly communl- cable, although seemingly not very ready of com- ation. Where a case has been so diagnos- ticated as to assert the form of pulmonary is the person affected should not ror his ke and for that of the attendant sleep in me bed. The room should be go aired as to insure purity of air. Ifthe fact of the possi- bility of consumptive contagion become estab- tisl it will tend greatly t minish the disease. It will not need to diminish close and fearle: nt attention since the c zion is of itself limit- It will secure that care which while it pro- tects the taithful companion {3 also in the interest of the sufferer. It is impossible in almost every sick room to secure healthy air. By proper Ventilation and sun light and usual disinfectants it is very easy to keep the breath either of the sick person or the attendant in propercondition, to deal properly with the sputa and thus to limit the inroads of the disease both as related to the sufferer and to those who are ready to supply his wants. ———_—_e.___ Morality in the Public Schools. 2.00, 9.00 | Oliver Johnson in tho Atlantic for June. There is need of an educational symposium of representative men of all shades of religious belief and speculation,—Catholicand Protestant, Orthodox and Liberal, Jew and Agnostic,—to consider this subject. Sitting down together, j and looking into each other's faces with senti- ments of mutual esteem; setting aside for the moment all speculative questions, and fixing their thoughts upon the one subject of moral teaching in the schools, they would no doubt ment. Upon the abstract question whetlier the ultimate basis of morality is to be sought Ina supernatural revelation, or in the nature of man and the testimony of experience aud ob- ‘The Travels ef the Sun, From the New York Sun. Some recent discussions of the constitution of the sun have turned in part upon what ts known as the sun’s proper motion in space. This is one of the most surprising and Interest- ing things that science has ever brought to light, and yet it is something of which com- paratively few persons have any knowledge. It is customary to look upon the sun as if it were the center of the universe, an immovable fiery globe around which the earth and other planets revolve while {t remains fixed in one piace. Nothing could be further from the truth. The sun is, in tact, the most wonderful of travelers. He ia flying through space at the rate of not less than @ hundred and sixty millions of miles in a year, and the earth and her sister planets are his fellow voyagers, which, obeying his overpowering attraction, circle about him as he advances. In other words, if we could take up a position in open space in advance of the sun. we should see him rushing toward us atthe rate of some 450,000 milesa day, chased by his whole family of ahining worlds and the vast swarms of meteoric bodies which obey his attraction. The general direction of this motion of the solar system has been known since the time of Sir William Herschel. It is to- ward the constellation Hercules, which, at this season, may be seen in the northeastern sky at 9 o'clock in the evening. As the line of this motion makes an angle of fifty odd degrees with the plane of the earth's orbit, it rollows that the earth is not like a horse at a windlass, circling around the sun forever in one beaten path, bet like a ship belonging to a fleet whose leader 1s continually pushing its prow into unexplored. waters. The path of the earth through space is spiral, so that it is all the time advancing Into new regions along with the sun. She ts on a boundless voyage of discovery, and her human crew are born and die in widely sep- arated tracts of space. Think of the distance over which the travels of the sun have borne the earth only since the beginning of human history! Six thousand years ago the earth and sun were about a million millions of miles further from the stars in Hercules than they are to-day. Columbus and his contemporaries lived when the earth was in a region of the universe more than sixty thousand millions of miles from the place where tt is now, so that since his time the whole human race has been making a voyage through space, in comparison with which his longest yoyace was as the foot- step ofa‘fy. Thus the great events In the his- tory of the world may be said to have occurred in different parts of the universe. An almost inconceivable distance separates the spot which the earth occupied inthe time of Alexander from that which it occupied when Cwxsar invaded Gaul. The sun and the earth have wandered so tar from their birthplace that the mind staggers in the attempt to guess at the stupendous dis- tance which now probably separates them from it. It may be that the motion of the solar sys- tem fs orbital, and that our sun and many of the stars, his fellow suns, are revolving around some common center, but if so, no means has yet been devised of detecting the form or dimen- sions of his orbit. So far as we can see the sun is moving in a straight line. Since space is believed to be filled with some sort of ethereal medium, curious consequences are seen to follow from the motions that have been described. A solid globe like the earth rushing at great speed through such a medium will encounter some resistance. If the medium be exceedingly rare, as it must be In fact, the resistana® will be correspondingly small,’ but still there will be resistance. If the sun stood still, the earth, owing to the inclination of its axis to the plane of its orbit around the sun, would encounter the resistance of the ether principally on its northern hemisphere from summer to winter, and on its southern hemis- phere from winter to summer. But in conse- quence of the motion of the sun shared by the earth, this law of distribution is changed, and from summer to winter the earth ploughs through the ether with its north pole foremost, while from winter to summer, although the re- sistance of the ether is encountered more even- ly by the two hemispheres, yet it is still felt principally in the northern hemisphere, and the south pole remains practically protected. It follows that the southern hemisphere, und par- ticularly the south polar regions, are more or less completely sheltered the whole year around. It might, then, be supposed that the impact of the particles of the ether shouldered aside by the earth in its swift flight and the compression pro- duced in front of the advancing globe would tend to raise the temperature of the northern hemisphere as compared with the southern hem- isphere, while the south pole, being more or less directly in the wake of the earth.and in a region of rarefaction of the ether, would constantly possess a remarkatly low temperature. Now, it is known that the south polar regions are more covered with ice and snow than those of the north, and that the temperature there the year around is lower. Whether this difference isowing tothe eftects of the earth’s journey through the ether is a question. The sun, too, moves with his northern hemi- sphere foremost, and it is worthy ot remark that ithas been suspected that the northern hemisphere of the sun radiates more heat than the southern. But, whatever effect it may or may not have upon the meteorological condition of the earth, the fact that the solar system 1s thus voyaging through space 13 in itself exceedingly interest- Ing. Not the wildest traveler's dream presents tothe imagination such a voyage as this on which every inhabitant of the earth Is bound. A. glance at a star map shows that the direction in which we are going s_ carrying us toward a re- gion of the heavens exceedingly rich in stars, many, and perhaps most, of which are greater suns than ours. There can be little doubt that when the sun arrives in the neighborhood ot those stars he will be surrounded by celestial scenery very different from and much more bril- liant than that of the region of space in which he now is. The inhabitants of the globe at that distant period will certainly behold new and far more glorious heavens, though the earth may be unchanged. ——_—____+e.—______ ‘The English Sparrow Must Go.
