Out of the Total of 449 In the World. ? I Out of nn approximate total of 445 medical schools In the world, the United States predominates with 82 schools, according to /a list prepared by the* Rockefeller Foundation. Next come the British Isles with 43, fol lowed by France with 32, Itussla with 28, Germany with 25, China with 24, Italy with 22, Japan with 20. India with 18, Spain with, 11, Mexico with 11, Brazil with 10, Canada with 0, Netherlands with 8, Poland with 5, Switzerland with 5 nnd Belgium with 0. Fifty-four other countries support from one to four medical schools each. Not -only do standards differ greatly between countries, but even within na tional areas, notably in 'the United States, medical schools are of dis tinctly different grades as measured by personnel, equipment, resources and 1 Ideals. In spite of great variation In quality, however, all these centers of teaching are more or less directly dom inated by the alms and methods of modern medicine. It is one aim of the Rockefeller Foundatloh, says the re port, to hasten the development of in ternational co-operation In' medical education, by all available means. New Sugai* Beet Digger. It is sold that n machine for top ping and digging sugar beets prom ises to eliminate much of the back breaking work of harvesting. The annaratus resembles a notato digger In general outline, but In front of the lifts that remove the roots from the ^ground is . a revolving disk twenty Inches in diameter, so adjusted by a spring and roller that It measures the cutting distance from the top of the beet Instead of from the ground. Im? mediately behind the disk are two lifts that Temove~ the beets from the ground and deliver them to an end less chain elevator that frees them of dirt and dumps them out behind the machine. As the top and head of the sugar beet contains an acid that counteracts the sugar In the rest of the root, a harvester must measure the beets and cut them at the right place. Rearing Wild Furbearers. Important progress has been made is investigations pertaining to the rais ing of wild fur-bearing animals 1n cap tivity, says the Scientific American. Fur farms are reported from 25 states where foxes, skunks, minks, opossums, martens, muskrats, squirrels and beav ers are raised. It Is estimated that f>00 ranchers are raising silver foxes in the United States, thfct they have between 12,000 and 15,000 foxes In captivity, and that the value of the investment is about $8,000,000. The discovery of the fact that mar tens breed the last of July and in Au gust has solved the problem which has heretofore prevented the successful rearing of these animals In captivity and has opened up an Important field to the fur farmer. - ^ Again the Young Idea.
