United States, which is already commit ted to the steam-engine-are apparently convinced that this development offers hope of the cheapest transport for goods at least, and the only influences which are checking the movement to replace old tonnage are the high cost of construction and fears as to supplies of oil. We have building in this country fifty-seven motor 132 of 227,499 tons on the stocks abroad. vassols of 27,010-tons, and there are

The vaccine, described as a preventative and a curative, is formed of a mixture of anti-rabid serum and virus. It is held that the virus makes for instantaneous immunity from hydrophobia, while the serum has a definite effect. The features of the treatment are that it is inoffensive, that only a few injections are necessary, and that the cost is small. The two pro- fessors believe that it will be possible to apply it to man concurrently with the Pasteur treatment
