Lord Iveagh has just made further gifts, amounting to something like half a million sterling, for philanthropic purposes. His Guinness Trust, to which he has already devoted half a million or so, is now doing Jan admirable work in the substitution of healthy dwellings for slums in London and Dublin, and now he is going to promote a Bill to enable the powers that be to obtain possession of an insanitary area in the heart of Dublin and build workmen's dwellings and institutes there. This scheme is likely to cost a quarter of a million; and in addition he is giving another quarter of a million to the Jenner Institute—formerly known as the British Institute of Preventive Medi. cine—for the purposes of research in ba terinlogy and other forms of biology as hearing upon the causes, nature, prevei tion, and treatment of disease. This again isa branch of medical science in which Great Britain has been left far behind by some of the Continental nations as well as by the United States. But Lord Iveagh's splendid gift will enable us to remedy this. It was accompanied by certain conditions as to the government of the Institute; but these have been agreed to and the gift has been gratefully accepted. Evidently some ni "may come out of Guinness's Stout, whatever the teetotallers may say.
