On the lad's parents visiting the spot it was found that the meteor was still intensely hot, and not for over half an hour could it be handled. The meteor, or whatever it was that falf, looked much like an ordinary boulder, except that it was almost as round as a marble and the surface was deeply scored with what resembled hieroglyphics. The meteor had passed through the branches of two trees in its flight, snapping them off like mat- ches.

A great part of the im provement cannot be ascribed solely to the study of tropical medicine; but though that is at present only in its infancy; it has come near to revolutionising the tropical world. And what has been achieved is little in comparison with what will be achieved as the years bring more experience.
