The language in which instruction is given is neither Russian nor Finnish, ’but Swedish, so that the scientific work which emanates from Helsingfors finds its way into Scandinavian rather than into Russian medical journals.

THE death of Sir William McArthur, which occurred
suddenly, after hurrying to catch a train on the Metro-politan Railway on Wednesday morning last, should not beallowed to pass unnoticed by us. Amidst his philanthropicexertions, his zealous promotion of the Metropolitan HospitalFund during his mayoralty was most conspicuous, and thefinancial efficiency of the London medical charities was asubject very near his heart. His occupancy of the civicchair in 1881 was also signalised by the reception at theMansion House of the members of the International Medical
Congress held in London in that year.
FROM the report on the composition and quality of dailysamples of the water supplied to London, made by Messrs.Crookes, Odling, and Tidy, to the Water Examiner appointedunder the Metropolis Water Act, 1871, it appears that thesupply during October was found practically identical incharacter with that of the preceding three months. All the
samples alike from the Thames and the Lea were free fromturbidity, and unexceptionable in respect to colour; whilethe proportion of organic matter present was but small, andvery uniformly so, in the different samples examined.
