brought disaster to the unfor tunate sufferer, from tropical maladies of which his doctor was profoundly ignorant. It was a recognition of this fact which led Manson to found the London School of Tropical Medicine, the forerunner of many such institu- tions in all parts of the world. Pupils of these schools, commenc- ing their tropical labours with knowledge in the place of ignor ance, are making the tropics per- manent conquests for civilisation.

As to the appeal, the claims of which we now put forward, the Society ask for help to build a new home which shall bear Manson's name. The immediate object is to save Manson's work from being hampered in its development. At present, the Society lacks suitable premises for its incetings and where Fellows can exchange ideas and, discuss the problems of tro- 'pical pathology. Already, - thare has been quite a good response to the appeal, but the project cannot become a reality unless more: sup- port is forthcoming.. Hongkong, as we say, is intimately associated

Almost on the anniversary hia death, which occurred eight years ago, we have been asked, in a letter from the Royal Society of Tropicul Medicine and Hygiene, to direct attention to the movement for a proposed merdorial to the

the leaders in this great sphere of work, and we feel that if n special appeal were made to the community, which is heir to the benefits Manson has brought to the human race, it would not fall on barren soll. The Government might, indeed, help the movement by making a contribution to the Fund, thus setting an which others can follow.

The Very Idea!

Mr. Joseph Hudson, who recently passed away, was the inventor of the police whistle-an instrument desised on such simple plan that it seems surprising that no one ever thought of it before. It is, in effect, two whistles, one on each: side of the cylinder, the slightly differing notes forming a discord which gives a distinctive, strident and penetrating whole,

The police whistle is, in fact, founded on the same principle as the vox humana stop in an organ, only there the difference of note in twin pipes is so adjusted that one hears not a discord but a series of in rapid beats like the tremolo singing,

MARPLOT?

As his name implies, Mar- plot was a gentleman with a genius for upsetting the best- laid schemes, those "intended for his own benefit not ex- cluded.

Two Marplots are to be. found in our dramatic litera- ture, Sir Martin Marplot, who' occurs in a seventeenth cen- tury comedy by the then Dake of Newcastle, and Marylot, tout court, the hero of Mrs. Susanna Cantlivre's playa, "Mar- "The Busybody" and plot in Lisbon."

This second is the better- Known and the more amusing of the two. · He is an inquisi tive scatter-brain with an In2 curable knack of saying the wrong thing and appearing at the wrong moment, His- friends, no less than his foes¡. lived in dread of his intru- alans, which might be through the door or down the chime ney, but, either way, were al- ways timed with exactitude to the most inopportune "second" of all.

Like Paul Pry, of whom he was the prototype, Marplot has this in his favour, that- there was no spark of malice. in his composition.

The creators both of Mar-

plot and of Paul Fry, owe no

amall debt of inspiration to Lelle, the conceited blunderer of Mollero's Etourdi.?
