BiIl-Washington News Notes.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-The great cpl
demic of the bubonic plague In Bombay
has compelled the authorities of the Ma
rine hospital service to take steps to
secure the utmost possible vigilance by
officials Of the United States to prevent
its introduction into this country, al
though no fears are felt at present.
Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine
hospital bureau, after consulting with
Secretary Carlisle issued circular call
ing the attention of United States con-
sular officers, masters and owners OF
vessels, collectors of customs, national,
state and local quarantine officers and
others to quarantine regulations to pre-
vent the spread of epidemics. The reg
ulations referred to in the circular COM
pei the disinfection of merchandise and
personal effects from infected ports be-
fore their shipment and similar precau-
tions in regard to immigrants from ports
where plague, cholera, typhus, yellow
fever or smallpox prevails.
No Great Apprehension Here.
Speaking of the plague DR.. Wyman
said: mo great apprehension Is felt
of it's introduction into the United
| States though special measures to pre-
vent it have been in operation for more
| than a year. The present outbreak may
be traced to China in 1894, and two
years ago the quarantine officers on
| the Pacific coast were instructed to be
specially vigilant with regard to 1t. and
have disinfected the baggage OF all
Chinese and Japanese immigrants, and
| an understanding was had with the Ca
madam government by which they
agreed to do the same, so that immi-
grants landed at Vancouver and COM
ing thence into the United States would
be equally safe with those coming to
the United States ports direct. Cold
weather Is not a protection against the
plague, as it brings about the crowdine
together of more people in houses. The
bacillus was discovered in 1894 by y
Japanese scientist. The germ is easy
to kill and can be destroyed by sui
phur fumigation. The thermal deatf
rate is 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Wher
this plague prevailed in Russia In 1878
II was found necessary to burn a large
village which was It's stronghold. II

STOCK WITH GOOD LUNGS.

In selecting breeding stock of any
kind, deep chest and broad nostrils
are prime requisites for animals that
are sure to give satisfaction. These
are the indications of naturally
good breathing apparatus. If this has
not been impaired by disease or mis-
use the animal, other things being
equal, is reasonably certain to be
profitable. Horsemen understand this.
Any injury to the lungs of a horse de-
tracts 30 much from it's value that, if
the animal would otherwise be yalua-
BILE, it becomes almost worthless. OF
course, the lungs of horse are espec-
tally tried in hard driving. But with
out good lungs there can be no good
digestion, nor can life be vigorous in
any of its functions. We do not race

of the breathing apparatus, are always
