since the institution of civil registration." This startling statement appears in the latest report of the medical officer of health for the County of London for 1904, just published.
The marriage rate has also declined since 1903 from 17 and'a fraction to 17 per 1,000 persons living. This is hardly reassuring, and confidence is not restored by the state. ment that the death rate has risen from 15.8 per 1,003 in 1008 to 16.1 per 1,000 in 1904. It is cold comfort to learn that it is still below the average of the last ten years. The death-rate of children has risen from 130 to 144 per 1,000 births.
WHAT IS KILLING UB, Deaths from ordinary diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, eto show in some cases an increase and in others a decrease; but some startling statements as to the dangera from natural ice and polluted watercress may prove the key to the increased number of deaths,,
The risk of disease from natural ice is: very grave, says Dr. Hamer, assistant medical officer of health to the L,C.C., in an appendix to the report. The of natural ice, can never be known, and such ice may have a past, and is therefore always dangerous.
Source
Some time ago a mysterious outbreak of illness was traced to impure natural ice. The chief symptoms shown by the sufferers were giddiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrtop, fever, etc. The outbreak occurred in an. American hotel. Inquiries were made, and it was discovered that the ice, used campy from a stagnant pond containing a putres. cent mass of marah mud and decomposing Bawdust.
DANGEEOUS ICE AND WATERCRESS.
A similar outbreak occurred in "London" in 1898, and, although ice was not actually proved the cause, the very gravest suspicion fell upon it. Outbreaks of enteric fever have been practically traced to ice-in one instance outbreaks occurring at the rate of fifty a day for over three weeks.
Much of the enteric in New York is bd- lieved to arise from the impuro Budson River in Toro
view of the fact that Dr 1474 Hamer advises the use of artificial ice only
prepared from distilled water, it is hardly reassuring to learn that 200,000 tons of artificial los are imported into London an- nually. Clear ice, it should be noted, is not necessarily pure.

WORLD'S RECORD IN
MARCHING.
American Battery's Feat.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. The 6th Field Battery United States Artillery reached Fort Sam Houston, Texas, today, break. ing the world's record by covering 1100 miles in 55 days.
It is asserted that this is the longest practica march made in time of peace, and that no forced march, except Napoleon's advance to Moscow, is comparable with it' in time of war, The men arrived haggard, their thin clothing in tatters, and their horses moving skeletons.
Severe weather was encountered, includ- Ing a blizzard. One death occurred `on the march.
FLIGHT OF TURKISH LADIES.
VIENNA, Jan. 12.
A curious family dispute is involved in the flight from Constantinople of the two daughters of Nouri Bey, the well-known Turkish Foreign Secretary. The elder daughter is threatened with phthisis, and they allege that their father would not allow her to receive the requisite medical attendance. Attended by their French governess
they left the Turkish capital Becretly, and took train for Vienna.
The older daughter had whitened her hair, with the idea of passing as the mother of the younger. On learning of their light, Nouri Bey telegraphed to Belgrade, with the rosult that on the train at the Servian capital at midnight it was met by the Ottoman representative, who. obliged the girls to leave it. They are now lodged in the Grand Hotel awaiting developments. The fugitives have a large circle of acquaintances amongst the foreign ladies in Constantinople, with whom their many accomplishments and charming man- ners have rendered them very popular. Besides speaking English, French, and German, they are excellent musicians,
