the less a recognition, by tho highest authority, of the importance to the Empire of the studies in which that School is engaged. That recognition was emphasized yesterday afternoon, at the meeting ut the Foreign Office of the Com- mittee which, at the request of Mr. Harcourt, and under the chairmanship of Mr. Austen Chamberlain, has been form- ed for the purpose of raising funds for the extension and development of the School, a meeting at which Lord Crewe, Sir Edward Grey, and Mr. Harcourt were present and spoke. We have more than once referred to the story which they bad to tell, but it can scarcely be repeated too often or told too forcibly. For many years the maladies and the mortality of the tropics were vaguely attributed to climate, although no one ovon at. tempted to explain how climate could produce them; and it was not until n recent period that many of them were shown to be due to the invasion of the human body by animal parasites, which, as causes of disease, occupy the position held in more temperate regions by veget able parasites or "bacteria," and against which some of the untives of the countries concerned had in the course of time obtained some degree of immunity. The Arst step towards knowledge of the methods of invasion of some of these parasites was Sir Patrick Manson's dis- covery that the microscopically minute embryos of the nematoid wormus known as ilaria, which are abundant in the blood of many of the natives of certain coun- tries and are apparently harmless, are withdraws from man by a mosquito, within which they enter upon a new phase of development, and by which they are returned to man in a condition to become. sexually mature, to attain full growth, and to produce elephentiasis and allied diseasey by their occupancy of lymphatic channels. Sir Patrick's discovery of the part played by the mosquito in relation to filaris led him to suggest that this insect might also be the carrier of the blood parasites of intermittent fever; And the suggestion, afterwarde verified by Sir Ronald Rosa, and extended to yellow fever, to pellagra, and other maladies, has marked an epoch in the Aistory of disease prevention in all the countries in which any of tho mladies in question had prevailed. As an early consequence of its practical application on a large scale, it has permitted the con- struction of the Panama Canal, previous ly abandoned

a mere gravo for the workmen concerned in its excavation.

Mr. Chamberlain's energy and sagacity, to which both Sir Edward Grey and Lord Crewe paid a generous tribute yesterday, provided promptly for the prosecution of these discoveries and for their practical application to the needs of British re sadients in the tropics. With the help of Sir Patrick Manson, who was appointed Chief Medical Adviser to the Colonial Office, be founded the School of Tropical Medicine under official patronage in 1800 Since its establishment the School has received 1,431 students, qualified medical men proceeding to the tropics as Govern ment servants, as missionaries, or in the employment of private firms or com- panies, and the demands upon it are steadily increasing.
