SYMPTOMS OF VARIOLA EQUINA


BY E. II. MILLS, VS., ISLAND POND.
Written for the HERALD.
All the domestic animals appear to be
subject to variola, orypox, in some form
or other 1t is similar to small pox in
the human family, but is comparatively
simple. 1t is an acute febrile disease, pro-
ducing eruptions or pustules, and, like
all febrile diseases, runs certain course,
1t belongs to the zynotic class of diseases
and is propagated solely by contagion,
so far as our present state of knowledge
goes. After exposure and contagion there
is the usual period of incubation, followed
by fever, and in due course of time, an
eruption, which appears in the form Of
small reddish nodules, each in size some.
what smaller than pin head, and sur
rounded by red areola. These nodues
gradually change in character and be.
come vesicles, containing clear lymph,
which in due course Of time loses its tran.
sparency and becomes purulent. The
pustules burst and discharge their con
tents, forming dry crust or scales, which
wears off in few days. There is prim
airy fever and secondary fever. The
fever in a majority of cases is most severe
just before the eruption. The disease is
usually of a benign character.
The symptoms of variola as it occurs
in the horse, are dulness, more or less
fever-in many cases being so slight as to
almost escape notice, the pulse becomes
somewhat quickened and weaker than
usual, there is increased thirst, and the
appetite becomes impaired. Soon red
patches appear upon The skin, and those

London Chronicles Commissioner.

Henry Norman, assistant editor Of
the London Chronicle, who came to
America to tell the truth about the
Monroe doctrine, has made good inn
preston by his personality and by his
work. He has been paid the high COM
pliment of having the dispatches which
which he cabled from Washington to
London Immediately cabled back to
New York for publication in the news
papers of the Associated Press When
he reached Washington he went quietly
to a hotel and began his work. Though
he had been in Washington several
days, his dispatches cabled back from
London and published in Washington
first revealed his presence, though they
did not reveal his name. He speaks
six languages and some one has said
that he knows all countries, has shot
tigers in the Malay Peninsula, slipped
coffee with Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, has
been the cause of diplomatic communi-
cations among European governments,
knows how to make a cocktail, has
written four famous books, is a sports
man to his finger tips, scents piece OF
news a mile off, is a Partisan bOulevar-
der one month and a desperately hon
est critic of Japan the next, and is a
philosopher, courtier, diplomat and
journalistic corkscrew by turns.
Though Mr.. Norman is an Englishman,
he spent his boyhood in Paris and was
educated at Harvard. When he was
asked to come to America and tell the
truth about the Monroe doctrine he had
Just returned from ConstantinOple,
where he had been telling some things
about the sultan and the Armenian
atrocities. Mr.. Normans greatest feat
was sending a telegram from CONSTANT
nople to his paper announcing that the
sultan had accepted the scheme of Ar
menian reform imposed on him by the
powers. In getting this big piece OF
news he beat many Of the greatest
newspaper correspondents in Europe
who were on the ground. Mr.. Nor
mans first book was "An Account of the
Harvard Greek Play" being a report
Of the performance Of "Oedipus' by
Harvard students. Mr., Norman him.
