England Will Preserve Its Histor
ic Structures.
Commissioner of Works to Prevent
the Destruction or Sale of Relics
Will Thwart the Collectors
of Ancient Edifices.
London. The session of parliament
which recently closed enacted one law
which meets with universal approval.
It is called tho "ancient monuments
act," and tho credit for its paBsago is
due to Lord Beauchamp.
In the future, says the Times, thero
Is no reason why such a building at
Taltershall castlo should bo despoiled
if tho first commissioner of works,
with whom rests tho power of putting
tho now law in motion, acts with en
ergy and promptitude A Biniple order
of tho commissioners of works will
make any injury of such a place an of
fense; tlmo will then be given for de
liberation on the future of the buijd
ing, and its fato will in the last resort
lie determined by parliament.
The lato Lord Avebury led the way
in bringing tho subject to the notice
of parliament, and in 1882 Mr. Shaw
Lefevro (now Lord Eversley), as Ilrst
commissioner of works in Mr. Glad
stone's government, passed tho first
ancient monuments act. It extended
only to monolithic and other prehis
toric remains, and was purely permis
sive in its character. The owner of
'such a monument might place It In
tho guardianship of the commissioner
of works, and it then became an of
fense on tho part of anyono (including
the owner) to injure or deface tho
monument. In 1900 theso provisions
were extended to any "structure, erec
tion or monument of historic or archi
tectural Interest," with the exception
of a structure occupied (otherwise
than for caretaklng) as a dwelling
house, but tho application of the act
still depended upon the consent of the
owners of monuments.
Lately tho specter of tho wealthy
American prepared to give fabulous
sums for tho power to tear down a
ruin and transport it across tho Atlan
tic has been conjured up in order to
raise tho market for ancient monu
ments, and a much more serious risk
has arisen in tho shape of persons
dealing in valuable fittings and mov
nblo details of old buildings. For tho
purposo of thiB trado tho structure is
bought, and the artistic work that it
contains is torn out and sold for use
in modern buildings.
It is obvious, says tho Times, that
In relation to such trafllc tho mere
scheduling of monuments or any other
arrangement devoid of such machinery
for arresting destruction merely at
tracts tho destroyer. Henco the ex
istence of tho royal commissions,
which have been at work for tho last
flvo years examining and scheduling
tho places of historic Interest In Eng
land, Scotland and Wales, and which
have already made valuablo reports, Is
an additional reason for protective leg
islation. At tho Eamc tlmo the com
missions form a nucleus for an author
itative advisory body to sharo with
tho commissioners of works tho re
sponsibility of restrictive action.
These considerations havo been in
the minds of the framers of tho new
net, which not only amends but con
solidates the existing law. In tho first
place, it authorizes tho purchaso of
monuments either by tho commission
ers of works or by the council of any
county or borough, or tho common
council of tho city of London, but
such a purchaso can be carried out
only by agreement with tho owner.
The gift or devise of a monument to
tho snmo bodies is also authorized
Tho alternative machinery of guard
ianship is then provided, as In tho
existing acts, and tho effect of guard
ianship la explained.
By constituting tho commissioners
of works or the local authority guard
ians of his monument the owner does
not divert himself of any right of
proporty except that of destruction,
activo or paoslvo; In other words, tho
miardlans of the monument may re
BUILDINGS
strain tho owner from injuring it, and
may, concurrently with tho owner, do
any work necessary to maintain and
protect it.
So far the act follows on previous
lines, and can only be applied with tho
consent of the owner. On this stem
is grafted the compulsory machinery
of tho act. An ancient monuments
board, representative of the threo his
toric monument' commissions, the so
cieties of" antiquaries of London and
Scotland, and other artistic bodies, Is
to be constituted by the commission
ers of works, and on their report that
any monument is in danger of destruc
tion, removal or damage, and that the
preparation of tho monument Is of na
tional importance, the commissioners
may make a preservation order, plac
ing tho monument under their protec
tion, and while such an order Is In
force the monument can not be demol
ished, removed, added to or altered
without tho consent of tho commis
sioners. BECOMES 'CONVICT' TO STUDY

Thyroid Gland Has Much to Do
With Their Quality.
What Can Be Accomplished by, the
Use of Substance Obtained From
Animals Views of an Eminent
British Dental Authority.
New York. More Important that
all tho dentists and their new filllngu
and methods is tho mystery of wuj
teeth decay. An eminent British den
tnl authority bellevetj that a certain
ductless gland in the neck, kuown as
tlo "thyroid," lurgely controls the
destiny of our chewing npparntus Ot
course, no one doubts that cleaning
tho mout, selecting proper food and
general care of the health aid In keep
ing tho teeth sound, and lack of these
things contributes to thoir breaking
down. But theso are not tho only
causes nor tho main ones.
In spite of neglect and ignorance,
some people havo absolutely no trou
bio with their teeth, while others
brush and clean and yet spend small
fortunes with the dentist. "A polished
tooth never decays," they say, and
this Ib probably true, but it is equal
ly true that nobody can keep overy
portion of every tooth polished all
the time.
"Tho lungs and tho liver and tho
heart and other organs are supposed
to take caro of themselves without
oiio'b personal attention," says this
doctor. "That la nature's business.
If nature does not attend to her busi
ness, wo ought not to be perpetually
dusting and sweoping nnd cleaning up
aftor her, as If sho wero a careless
housemaid, but should call her to 'ac
count. "Good health was early recognized
as one of the foundations for good
teeth. But many cases of 'cxcelleut
general health show poor teeth, so wc
must conclude that there aro various
kinds of good health, some which In
clude good teeth and some which do
not. AIbo many patients of very
feeble constitution for some reason
havo no need of the 'dentist."
Among all tho varying cauBcs o(
health and dlseaso 1b found ouo con
stant factor. When there is troublo
with the thyroid gland there 1b trouble
with the teeth.
All over the body, In nooks and
corners, aro found all cortB nnd sizes
of glands. Some of thci30 aro well
understood, such as those that se
crete ballva for the mouth or tears
for the eye. Theso havo outlets called
"ducts," which supply their products
where they are needed. Thero aro
also other kinds of glands which have
no outlet. Theso aro called the "duct
less glands," and whatever they se
crete goes right Into tho blood itself
The thyroid is a blind, ductlcbs gland
It Is In tho neck, and when enlarged
causes the" disease known as "goiter '
Tho thyroid ''oes several wonderful
things for tho body of which we
know, and doubtless several others
unknown. Tho entlro process of
growth and dovelopment of a body
Into a full grown adult depends on this
small body hidden away behind our
mouth.
When a baby Is born without an
adequate thyroid It becomes what la
known as a "cretin." The cretin Is
not llkoly to be more than four feet
tall, probably less. His intellect hard
ly progresses nt all, often remaining
so childish that ho Is absolutely de
pendent on others nil his Ufa. The
