AUG. 13 1892\nTHE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS\n215\nSCIENCE JOTTINGS.\nBY DR. ANDREW WILSON.\nNow that the holiday season is upon us, I presume my\nreaders will be scattered far and wide over the land\u00E2\u0080\u0094fishing\nin Norway, climbing mountains in Switzerland, shooting on\nthe moors, and otherwise endeavouring to recuperate body\nand mind for the more serious business of life. Reflections on\nthe best method of spending a holiday have been indited from\ntime immemorial of course, but, as far as I can observe, with\nbut scant success. For holidaying, like most other earthly\nthings (including digestion) is a strictly relative matter.\nWhat suits one won't please another ; it is impossible to lay\ndown any but the most generalised rules for the proper observance of one's leisure time, and we all know how extreme\ngeneralisation thins itself out, in the long run, into sheer\nnothingness. Personally, I confess to a strong liking for the\nsociety of my fellow-men. I prefer Brighton, for instance, to\nsome sequestered seaside nook, and I confess to finding extreme\npleasure in watching the antics of old and young at Margate\nor Yarmouth\u00E2\u0080\u0094a confession, I know, which will stamp me at\nonce as a veritable Philistine in the eyes of those aesthetic\npersons who hate crowds, and who prefer to surve}' life from\na balcony. Be it so ; only I should not dream of recommending\nmy prescription to other people, any more than I should\ninsist on advising a man who is upset by the sea to try a\nyachting holiday, or on setting an ardent golfer down somewhere or other with links ten miles off.\nOnly, I am convinced that many of us do not get all the\ngood we might obtain from our rest, because we do not choose\nthat mode of life which best suits our ways and ideas. Many\na man thinks it a bounden duty to stow himself away in a\ndreary silent resort, where there is \" nothing to do\" and little\nto see, and where, when he has read his morning paper, the\nrest of the day is spent in\u00E2\u0080\u0094well, yawning, and indulging in\nthe vain desire to get back to town. Surely we can get fresh\nair and rest and change without laying ourselves open to ennui;\nand hence my plea for a better consideration of the question\nwhere to go for holidays. One point always strikes me as\nirrelevant and foolish\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, that people will often leave\ncomfortable homes and will stow themselves and their families\nin houses which are devoid of all comfort and, what is worse\nstill, of sanitary arrangements. Then they wonder why their\nholiday has not effected all the good that was expected of it,\nand where this typhoid, or that attack of measles, was contracted. This is a serious business, only things are getting\nbetter now\u00E2\u0080\u0094thanks to the increased attention paid at health-\nresorts to drainage and other essential matters.\nThe recent cholera scare need not, I fancy, deter people\nfrom going on the Continent\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, the Continent most of\nus know. Farther east there may be danger\u00E2\u0080\u0094indeed, there\nalways is\u00E2\u0080\u0094from defective sanitation, when the cholera season\nis upon us. I would add, never drink water abroad when yon\ncan help it. Lest it be thought I am encouraging habits of\nintemperance, I would say, follow my plan, and when you go\nabroad drink Apollinaris or Godesberger water. You pay\nfor it, but then it is better to pay a small sum for prevention\nthan a big one for treatment of typhoid. An old Scotchman\nonce remarked to me that he had never experienced any ill\neffects from drinking water in Paris in summer or elsewhere,\nbut then he added the observation that he always qualified\nthe water with the wine of his country, which, lie remarked,\n'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2You'll admit is very destructive to germs\" ! All the same,\nwe are not all lovers of \" mountain dew,\" and I advise my\nreaders to drink a pure mineral water abroad in preference to\nany native product, and, above all things, to avoid the siphons\nof aerated water which most of the hotels furnish. They are\ndeadly inventions, and, I believe, along with the carafes\nf rappees, are the cause of much illness from the impurity of\nthe water and ice they respectively contain.\nOne of the most important books of the season, from a\nscientific standpoint, is that just published on \" The Diseases of\nOccupation,\" by Dr. Arlidge. I have read it with much\ninterest and a corresponding meed of instruction. It is a\ncurious study this, which shows how diseases of a special kind\nfollow on the footsteps of the trades and occupations incidental\nto civilisation. What Dr. Arlidge has to say about the\n\"grinders\" of Sheffield with their shortened lives, and about\n\" dusts \" at large breathed into the lungs of workers, is worthy\nthe study of everybody. If certain diseases follow upon certain\noccupations, limited as these diseases are to-day by improved\nsanitation, it is curious to note that even our amusements moy\nbring specific ailments in their train. What are we to say to\n\"horse-rider's sprain \" or to \"lawn-tennis elbow,\" both being\nailments well known to surgeons ? Then the ballet-dancer's\nbig toe is liable to assert itself as a consequence of her art, and\nthere is also a trouble known as \"dentist's leg,\" produced by\nthe cramped posture in which that gentleman has to work.\nEven coal-miners are liable to a peculiar affection of the eyes,\ndue to the cramped position in which they often work. It is,\nI repeat, a curious study, this, of the industrial diseases of our\ntime, and one to which we may be glad to notice that increased\nattention is being paid.\nA correspondent invokes my aid in exposing what must\ncertainly, as he puts it, be regarded as a deliberate fraud upon\nconsumers of condensed milks. When anyone buys a tin of\ncondensed milk, he naturally expects to purchase ordinary\npreserved milk containing all the constituents of that fluid.\nYet it seems that commercial ingenuity has been equal to the\ntask of defrauding the public by substituting, for the pure\narticle, condensed \"skim\" milk, from which the fat\u00E2\u0080\u0094so\nimportant an element in nutrition\u00E2\u0080\u0094has been removed. If\nwe reflect upon the extent to which condensed milk is used in\nthe feeding of infants, and especially the children of the poor,\nthe deprivation of fat to which I allude becomes, medically\nspeaking, a most serious matter. It is a fraud which has the\nworst consequences, in that purchasers are not merely wronged\nas regards the money paid for what they assume to be milk of\nfull nutritive value, but also as regards the health of those who\nhave to depend on the milk for their nourishment.\nDoubtless manufacturers are compelled to label their condensed \" skim \" milk as such, but we all know there are ways\nand means of labelling which simply defeat the object of\nlegislation and delude the customer, who in no case, surely,\ncould possibly prefer \"skim\" milk to that of full strength.\n\"Skim\" milk should not be labelled \"milk\" at all. That is the\nonly remedy for the abuse of the name, and I hope to see it\napplied in due course. Then there is yet another piece of\ningenuity to be noticed in connection with condensed milks.\nSome tins are labelled so as to make it appear that they\ncontain goat's milk. Here a popular error is fostered. Swiss\ncondensed milk itself, is not goat's milk. It is cow's milk,\nand there is no difference to be detected between average Swiss\nmilk (cow's) and English milk. But the chief cause of complaint is the selling of condensed \"skim\" milk for the full-\nbodied article ; and it is desirable that the delusion about\ngoat's milk should be also banished from the public mind.\nCHESS.\nTO CORRESPONDENTS.\nCommunications for this department should be addressed to the Chess Editor.\nP Kell.eii (Leipsic).\u00E2\u0080\u0094Your problems have arrived, and shall receive our earliest\nattention.\nC Burnett ( Biggleswade).\u00E2\u0080\u0094You do not say in bow many \"moves your new problem\nis to be solved, hut the key you give, Black's reply of Kt takes P (ch), seems to\nstop any mate in less than five.

Additional interest was excited by the presence of the Rev.\nG. McDonnell, Mr. Gnnsberg, and Herr Lasker, who during the week gave\nexhibition matches in various forms, to the delight of the chessplaying\nvisitors.\nThe International Chess Congress at Dresden has given further proof\nof the exceptional skill of Dr. Tarrasch, who for the third time in succession wins the chief prize in a great masters' tournament. The merit of\nthis unique performance is enhanced by the fact that in all these contests\nhe has lost but a single game, which we published a fortnight back, an\nunprecedented record in first-class play. A meeting between the Nurem-\nburg physician and Mr. Steinitz would arouse the liveliest feelings in chess\ncircles, and a much liner struggle than any yet fought might be reasonably anticipated. Belonging to the same school as Steinitz, and with as fine\na sense of position, Dr. Tarrasch has the advantage of years, and if anyone is\ncapable of bringing the world's championship back to Europe he is the man.\nSpecial mention ought also to be made of the fine play of Herr Walbrodt,\nof Berlin. Although not yet twenty years of age, he more than held his\nown amongst the masters, and ultimately tied for the fourth and fifth\nprizes with a score of 10. When it is remembered 10J took the second\nprize, this total means more than his position on the prize list fully represents, and practically makes him as good as anybody but Dr. Tarrasch.\nWith ability so promising, Herr Walbrodt's chess future will be closely\nwatched. The English players did not show to much advantage. Mr.\nBlackbnrne takes a special prize for the best score against the winners, and\nthere ends England's interest in the awards. Mr. Mason at one time looked\nformidable, but lost ground towards the end, whilst Mr. Loman all through\nwas palpably below form.\nTHE LADIES' COLUMN.\nBY MRS. FENWICK-MILLER.\nThe wedding of the heir of the Duke of Devonshire was as\n\"smart\" a function as was anticipated. The bride's going-\naway dress was very pretty ; it was in pale-blue soft material,\nthe bodice almost covered with folded white crepe de Chine,\nand finished with revers of white moire antique. Lady Evelyn\nreceived a great number of presents of jewellery. Her father\nis the Viceroy of India, and his staff sent a bangle with heart-\nshaped brilliant centre. The Marquis of Lansdowne himself\ngave his daughter a pearl and a diamond necklace ; one of her\naunts sent a nscklace of the two stones combined, and the\nDuke of Devonshire a splendid three-row pearl necklace.\nThe Duke of Westminster's present was a very uncommon\nnecklace of white enamel olive leaves, with setting of\nbrilliant points and pink topaz. Besides the jewellery now\ngiven her, however, Lady Evelyn Cavendish will have at once\na large quantity of precious stones which have been bequeathed\ndirect by the late Duke of Devonshire to his grandson,\nthe bridegroom. It will take a long time for this over-\nrich young lady to so much as know the contents of her own\njewel-cases ! I say \" over-rich \" because, after all, an English\nlady cannot (an she would) bedeck herself with innumerable\ngauds, asihough she were a Hindoo idol; and so many necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and rings as Lady Evelyn Cavendish\nnow possesses are useless, except to afford mere variety, which is\na doubtful pleasure. I suppose it occurs to most of us to make\nfavourites of some among even a small stock of personal ornaments : some are worn, constantly, others are hardly ever taken\nout of their cases.\nIt has amused me much to see the difficulty that many\njournalists seem to experience about the titles of English\nladies in the case of marriages such as this one. A great\nLondon daily sent a reporter who knew no better than to\nspeak of the going-away dress of \" Lady Victor Cavendish \" ;\nand another improved even on that by depriving her of her\ncourtesy title altogether, and speaking of \" Mrs. Victor Cavendish \" ! Of course, a marquis's daughter marrying a \" Mr.\"\nretains her own Christian name, with the title of \" Lady\"\nbefore it, and her husband's surname to follow. This\nshould be known even to reporters, since it is not \" specialised \" knowledge, so to speak, like descriptions of ladies'\ndress. Most men are absolutely incompetent to write\nabout frocks, and the poor things flounder dreadfully when\nthey attempt it. Not from what the doctors call congenital\nincapacity\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, being born so\u00E2\u0080\u0094for when the great male\nmind applies itself to- chiffons it can master them. Some of\nour very best dressmakers and the buyers and managers of\nmillinery and drapery establishments are men. Think of\nthe great Worth at Paris, or Mr. Joyce at Russell and\nAllen's ! Even as far as literature goes, where is there a\nwriter with a finer appreciation of flounces nnd furbelows\nthan \" The Lazy Minstrel,\" whose poems have just reached the\nwell-deserved honour of a shilling (and eighth) edition ? One\ncan see the pretty gown that Mr. Ashby-Sterry so accurately\ndescribes as \" The Pink of Perfection \"\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nIt must not remind you of raspberry ice,\nNor cheek of a milkmaid or cotter;\nA lobster-like redness is not at all nice,\nNor feverish glow of the blotter.\nA strawberry crushed, almost smothered in cream,\nNearly matches the colour, it may be ;\nThe Jungfrau just flushed with the earliest beam,\nThe hue of the palm of a baby.\nThis frock, when it's made with most exquisite taste,\nAnd fits like a glove on the shoulder,\nWith yoke and full pleats and a band at the waist,\nWill gladden the passing beholder.\nThere it is, you see. in rhyme, and graceful and polished\nrhyme too, and yet a perfect picture of a little frock, colour\nand make too. But such skill is rare, very rare, in men. and\nthe stuff which is printed by some journals as descriptive of\nladies' dress is both perfectly useless and too funny. \" Here was\npale-blue combined with watercress-green, and worn with a\nblack hat with yellow roses, next to a black and white check\nwith brown velvet waistcoat. Close by one saw a flowered\nmuslin with crushed strawberiw trimmings, and a peach-coloured\nsoft material relieved with brown, and worn with a big white\nlace hat.\" This uncouth jumble of verbiage is no joke from\nmy imagination, but is what a great London daily paper\nseriously offered to its lady readers as descriptive of the frocks\nat a smart race meeting. There was half a column of this\nuseless stuff.\nMen should comprehend that women read descriptions of\ndress just as men read the City article\u00E2\u0080\u0094not for fun, but for\nbusiness purposes. No women finds it particularly amusing\nto read about styles and stuffs, but it is intensely interesting because it is imperatively necessary when she is\ngoing to have a new frock or bonnet herself. John Stuart\nMill remarked that the amount of observation and reflection that a lady had to bestow on having her own and\nher children's costume all that it should be might suffice, if\notherwise applied, to produce really great results. This is\nquite true ;. and sad enough it is, when you look at the matter\nfrom the serious standpoint, that we should have to waste our\ntime so utterly. But from the practical, worldly point of view,\nto consider costumes is by no means waste of time. Until we\nwear a uniform, every woman who wants to hold her own\nsocially (and to do this is the main duty for the average woman)\nmust give thought to make her various costumes suit her\nperson, agree with her purse, and march with the fashion.\nFor these ends, descriptions of dresses and hints on styles are\neagerly read by women. But, in order to be of any use, such\ndescriptions must be done by \"expert\" hands, and must be\nsufficiently detailed to be followed.\nSo long as there is so great a choice of fabrics, and such\nvariations in style, and such scope for individual (good or\nbad) taste in dress, the subject must absorb a considerable\nshare of women's thoughts and of the space in papers and\n\"columns\" devoted to feminine affairs. It is needed. This\nmust be my answer to the three kind correspondents, who have\nall written to me (by a curious coincidence\u00E2\u0080\u0094what Wendell\nHolmes calls a \" thought-wave \" ) in the same week stating\nthat they prefer this column in those weeks when it has but\nlittle about dress in it. As Macaulay said when the editor of\nthe Edinburgh Review objected to the meretricious glitter of his\nstyle : \"I may not altogether disagree with you personally,but\nthe angler is not determined in his choice of a bait by his own\ntaste but by that of the fish.\" Undoubtedly women must care\nfor, and therefore must be given news about, the fashion of\ndress. The only way to avoid any particular trouble on that\nhead would be to do what men have, in fact, almost done in\nthis age : adopt a uniform costume, scarcely differing from\nyear to year, and hardly marking the distinctions of wealth and\ncaste. But how to achieve this end ? Even the power of\nmighty Elizabeth failed to secure the prolonged observance of\nthe sumptuary ordinance which she passed in 1574, requiring\neverybody to dress according to a pattern approved by the\nQueen. How much less chance is there for such laws to-day !\nBesides, I don't really think there is a demand for them.\nThe only novelty and variety that many women get in life\ncomes by a new cut in bodices and a fresh colour in bonnets I"@en .
