Of iG.snss hatred to the friends and

The Black Death

The black death, which has again ap-
peared in some parts OF Russ ia, has
nroyel very destructive, and caused the
greatest alarm. This is the same dis
ease which, in the fourteenth century.
desolated the globe, and 1t gets it name
from the black spots, symtomatlc OF 4
putrid decomposition. that show them
selves at one of its stages on the skin OF
the sufferer 1t is thought to have had
its origin in China IN 1893, some fifteen
yeals before lis outbreak in Europe, and
# RACED for twenty-five years, while
droueths. famnes floods, earthquakes
that swallowed towns and mountains,
and swarms Of lOcusts spread devasta-
ton everywhere. During the same pc
Rod. Europe had as many abnormal
conditions as the East. The order Of
nature appeared TO be reversed. The
seasons were at various times inverted,
thunder storms were frequent in midwin-
ter. and volcanoes long considered eX-
tinct. burst forth airesh. The theory
is tina. the extraordinary activity OF the
earth, accompanied by decomposition
of vast organic masses-myriads of To-
custS. brutes and bodies Of human be-
incs-produced ssme change in the at
mosphere nimical to life. Some writer's
say that the impdre air was actually Wis
ible as it approached with its burden of
death. The plague owed It's extension
almost wholly to infection and cOnta-
gion. Three years passed from the date
of It's appearance in Constantinoplc be-
fore it crept by huge circle to the
Russian territories. Statistics were not
obtainable then. hut il is estimated that
IN China alone $4,000, 900 people died,
and in the remainder OF the East Oh
900. 900. while in Europe 25,000,000
, souls persisted, making a grand and ter
rible total OF 52,00O,000. Although
there is little danger Of the spread of the
pest TO Western Europe for many gen.
erations il has been confined to the East
1t IS not strange that the Russians
should be STARTLED by the ravages the
black death has already made. Per-
sons attacked with it are said to die like
flies. and the ignorant and superstitious
peasantry are so terrified by ii that ma
nv are thought to have persisted ofpure
fright. Fortunately, the laws Of health
and the peculiaritics OF disease are much
better understood now than in contur-
les gone by.-N, J.. Times.
