Indianapolis, Jan. 9.The report of the State Tuberculosois Hospital Commission has appeared. The commission, composed of William S. Holman, Benj. F. Bennett, J. N. Babcock, Isaac R. Strouse and Dr. Henry Moore, was appointed by the Governor following an appropriation in 1907 for the purpose of selecting a site for a proposed State hospital for treating tuberculosis patients. The appropriation was for $30,000, with the understanding that a site of at least 500 acres was to be purchased. The report shows the selection to have been made in Parke county, near Rockville, at a cost of $24,000. Of the remainder, the commission returned $1,116.72 to the State treasury. The site purchased by the commission contains 504 acres and is situated three miles east of Rockville, about one mile from two railroad stations, one the Michigan division of the Vandalia railroad and the other the Central Indiana, formerly known as the Midland railroad. The site is well equipped with excellent water, has 125 acres of bottom land, fifty acres of upland soil in cultivation, with the remaining rolling or hilly. Much material is found on the site for building purposes, such as sand, gravel, stone, timber, etc. While the commission can not select plans for proposed buildings until an appropriation has been made, a number of recommendations have been made. Such an appropriation is earnestly solicited at the hands of the incoming Governor and the Legislature. To Treat Tuberculosis. The commission has found that tu. berculoeis'can be successfully treated in Indiana climate, and that the most economical and effective treatment can be had in a sanatorium. Such an Institution sufficiently large to permit treatment of 260 people is recommended. Admission to the' sanatorium, it is recomomended, should be through examination by a lung and throat specialist selected by the State, one in each congressional district. It is also recommended that a school for training nurses in the science of treating tuberculosis be maintained at the Sanatorium. An appropriation of $300,000 is asked.
V V CLASH WITH TURNEft. Retort ef the Print Seller Who Longed to See the Artist. Turner, happening one day to pass a printshop, noticed in the window a copy of one of the engravings from his famous "Liber Studiorum." The print was in a very dirty, ragged state. Entering the shop, Turner, asked to see the master and when the man came forward proceeded at once to blame him In no measured terms for having neglected so valuable a print and for having allowed it to become so disfigured. The man protested that it was no fault of his, as he did but offer the engraving for sale in the name state in which he had bought It from some other dealer. This did not satisfy Turner, however, and he and the man continued arguing for some time. At last the print seller lost all patience. "Perhaps, sir," he said, "when you have quite finished what you have to say you will kindly tell me what you have to do with this engraving and what business la it of yours whether the print Is clean or dirty." "This is what I have to do with it," answered the enraged artist "it was I who drew the original of that print. My name is Turner, and I did every line of that engraving with my own hand. Now do you wonder that I am angry at seeing my work In so disgraceful a state?" VIndeed, sir!" replied the print seller. "So you are the great artist himself! All my life long it has been my wish that I might some day have the good fortune to see Mr. Turner. Now that I have seen him I sincerely hope that I may never see him again. REGULATING BALLOONS. France Made the First Laws Governing Aerial Traffic In 1871, when French balloons from beleaguered Paris were dropping on the "sacred soli" of Prussia, a royal decree declared them confiscate as contraband of war. And on the conclusion of peace a measure was passed through the German relchstag which forbade under penalty of death any future similar aerial violation of German territory during time of war. So long ago as 1830, again, balloon ascents were made Illegal in Turkey, so far as regards Constantinople and forty miles around, and in 1872 the prohibition was extended to Include the entire Turkish empire. To France, however, belongs the distinction of having made the first laws for the regulation af aerial traffic. In 1784 it was solemnly decreed that nobody should be permitted to go up In a balloon "or any other kind of aerostatic machine" which was worked by burning spirits of wine or any other means of making a fire. Later, In 1811, It was enacted in France that henceforth no balloon, whether free or captive, should be per mitted to ascend with 'any species of furnace or stove, that no one should be allowed to ascend in a balloon unless he carried a parachute and that ascents were not to be begun later than one hour before sunset nor earlier than an hour after sunrise. Furthermore, no ascents whatever were to be undertaken during the garnering of the harvest nor for six weeks, prior thereto, v.-

The University of Bologna had for professor of jurisprudence Movella d'Andria. She was no more new than beautiful. Her charms were so overpowering that the trustees made her lecture behind a curtain. When she lectured openly the students, their minds wholly occupied with her beauty, could not Attend to what she said. Madonna Manzollna was professor of anatomy, Matilda Tromboni taught languages and Marie Magnesi held the chair of mathema tics. This unirerslty was by no means a second rate one.

THE C0CKET WRITERS. What Happened When England Abolished Their Offices. In the long room of the London custom house years ago were twelve officers styled "cocket writers." They wrote certificates that goods had been duly entered and the duties paid. They were also known as patent officers because appointed for life by letters patent from the crown. Their salaries were nominal. 60 a year, but . they were permitted to remunerate themselves by extorting fees from the merchantsfees which In some cases amounted to a thousand pounds a year. In 1851 the treasury determined to abolish patent offices and called upon the twelve cocket writers to furnish a statement of their emoluments. The officers, Ignorant of the treasury's purpose, imagined that the government Intended to Impose an Income tax. Ten of the writers, therefore, returned a statement which understated their fees by several hundred pounds. The other two furnished an honest statement. ' In a few days ten clerks were surprised and disgusted and two clerks were astonished, but pleased. The treasury notified the cocket writers that their offices would be abolished and that they would be compensated by pensions rated according to the returns they bad themselves furnished. There were gnashing of teeth and broad smiles in the long room. One of the two honest cocket writers enjoyed his pension for fifty-two years, during which time the treasury paid him 52,000. Whtrt Dollars Originated. Joachimstahl, near Carlsbad, is historic as the birthplace of the original dollar. This was the silver guldengroschen, coined in 1519 by order of Count Sohlick from the metal of a recently opened mine, . and it became known as the joaehimsthaler, or "thaler" alone for short. Before 1600 the nimble English language had already made "dollar" of this. Therefore this name was loosely used of all manner of coins, varying In value from 75 cents to $1.25 and belonging to all manner of countries, from Sweden to Japan. It was from the prevalence of the Spanish "dollar" in the British-American colonies at the time of their revolt that the modern "almighty dollar" was derived, while In modern English very recent slang has given the name to the crown piece. What It Was. She was visiting a Chinese restaurant for the first time and had ordered, among other things, an omelet After sampling the succulent chop suey and the appetizing chow meiu she turned her attention to what seemed a dish of pancakes. Puzzling over the combination of ham, onion and other ingredients, she suddenly exclaimed to her companion, "Why, there's egg In thisl" "Sure; it's the omelet." he repliedV
Philadelphia, Jan. 9. Grown to such enormous magnitude that the money involved runs into many millions; the moving-picture business bas been consolidated into an easily controlled though huge business machine. The seven leading picture machine manufacturers, including Lubin, of Philadelphia; Edison, Paur, the Vitagraph and the Biograph companies, have merged their interests, and between them will exercise absolute control over the moving picture business of the country. The first step was taken more than a year ago, when the film makers formed a hard and fast combination and came into complete control. This resulted in the issuance of IK censes to 100 selling agents. It also prevented the placing of any film or picture before the public before it was first approved by the combination.

Were it not for the spirit of good will and co-operation thus manifested, we feel that our efforts in behalf of the "General Welfare of Richmond' would have been neutralised and brought to naught: whereas, through your assistance rendered, much has been done to make the Commercial Club a valuable assistant to Richmond's growth and development, and encourage us to press forward with confidence, because behind us we have a body of supporters loyal and true, whose helpfulness and friendship is highly prized. The experience and record of the year is the foundation and promise for the New Tear. Pledges and promises count for little as regards the work of the future, but the achievements are an Indication of Its power and usefulness. Some measure of pride in the Club's position and influence la pardonable. Our aim will be to work for the "General Welfare of Richmond," to work with the progressive men of our city, hopeful that the achievements of the new year will surpass those of the past. Wishing every member of this body a most prosperous and successful new year, we are, your respectfully, 4 JOHN F. MCCARTHY, President E. M. HAAS, Secretary.
