A NATIONAJ. SANITARIUM.
A late number of the Popular Science
Monthly contains an article from the pen
of Dr. Edward Frankland, president of
the Royal College of Chemistry, in which
he points out the heed of a winter sani-
tarium for the American coniinent, for
patients suffering from or threatened
with consumption and kindred disease*.
He thinks that no such sjinitatiutn at
present exigts, for the desirability of the
Florida coast is greatly questioned by
eminent physicians, as its climatic in-
fluences are now known to be enervating.
T.ie iu!an 1 and mountain districts of
North and South Carolina aud Georgia
have been tried by a number of Northern
physicians on their patients, and were
found to possess many disadvantages. A
general winter sanltar.uiii must posses
parity of atmosphere, clearness of sun,
freedom from zymotic influence*, puritv
of water, a certain requisite altitude, a
minimum of atmospheric humidity, shel-
lerfroin bleak north winds,freedom from
fogs and a fa vorable locu tion for receiving
both the direct and the reflected solar
rays. All these con litions will bo found
on a careful and impartial investigation
in a greater degree at El Paso and the
country mrrounding than any other
portion of the American continent. If
this matter was once systematically and
throughly brought to the notice of the
medical profes-ion in the United States,
there would soon be an influx of patients
aud convalescents from nil sections of the
country that would necessitate accom-
modations on the very largest scale,which,
however, it would not take long to
furnish.
v dn-r suicidal endeavor^ to Injure the
capitalist em; loyers—which simply means
injury to themselves—to concentrate at
least a portion of their energies an the
prevention of competition by Incompe-
tent pretenders."
Two races of men are dying out—the
Laplanders, who number 30,000, and the
Maoris of New Zealand, reduced from
100,000 to 45,000 since the days of Capt.
Cook, and likely to be extinct by the year
2000.

The first copy of the new journal call-
ed the Linguist has just appeared in En-
gland. It is printed in five different lan-
guages—English, French, Spanish, Ital-
ian and German—and it is announced
that if necessary a supplement will be is-
sued later containing articles in Portu-
guese, modern Greek, Russian, Hindus-
tani and Arabic. Students of the lan-
guages, it is expected, will be particularly
benefited by the perusal of this paper.
The botanist of the Ohio agricultural
station has been making estimates of the
number of seeds found upon a single
plant of several of the most obnoxious
weeds grown in that state. In the shep-
herd's purse he found that the number
of seeds in each sllicle or seed vessel
varied from eighteen to thirty-four—
average about twenty-five—and 1,000
•Hides were counted upon a medium-
sized plant, making a total number of
seeds per plant 37,600. Computing in
the same manner, he estimated the dan-
delion to contain 12,103 seeds in each
plant; wild pepper grass, 18,400; wheat
thief (Lithosperraura arvense) 7,000; the
common thistle (Cirsium lanceolatum)
65,366; camomile, 15 920; butter weed,
8,6i7; rag weed, 4,366; common purs-
lane, 348,800; common plantain, 43,280;
burdock, 38.086. People in the Rio
Grande valldy who irrigate with river
water, can appreciate this statement.
The Globe-Democrat discusses an Im-
portant subject in the following sensible
manner: '-Trade papers throughout the
country are discussing plans for a thor
ough revival of the old sys'.em of appren-
ticeship. They argue that a lar^e amount
Of the unskillful work that is performed,
pirticularly in the traces connected with
building—such as carpentry, brick-lay-
ing, stone-cutting, plastering ami plumb-
ing-grows out of the way in which un-
trained men are permitted to commence
work and, by the mere claim to knowl-
edge and the payment of fees to a trades
union, to rank as high and demand as
much pay as the mo<t hkillful who have
spent years In the acquisition of knowl-
edge. The claim ii now made that all
the trade organizations, thai is, all those
where practical skill and education are
essentials among their members, should
combine their forcts and devise some
«chem« of apprenticeship under which
no man could vety easily obtain recogni-
tion as, sav % carpen ter, smith or brick-
layer, without being able tc snow a cer-
tificate of com petency, ?.n other words,
Instead oi wasting; money time la
