MaIariaI Parasites.

The tsetse ty disease of Africa has re
Gently been shown by the researches OF
Bruce to be due to fagellate intusorium
which is found in the blood of infected
animals. This disease is fatal to the OK,
the horse, the dog, the sheep, and the ass,
but not to the indigenous wild animals In
the region infested by the tsetse fly. The
researches of Bruce indicate that the fly
acts as carrier of the parasite from dis.
eased to healohy animals. He has shown
by experiment that alter feeding on the
blood OF an infected animal the tsetse fly
can communicate the disease to healthy
animal by its bite. After a short period
OF incubation the hamatozoa appear in
the blood concurrently with the develop
ment OF fever, and followed by rapidly
progressive anamia, dropsy and death.
The SO called ''surra disease" which
prevails in certain portions of India, is be
lieved to be due to similar parasitic pro
tozoan CIrylanoslna evansi). According
to Lingard, this infusorium exists as an
innocuous parasite in the blood of rats in
India. 1t is not pathogenic, or only feebl,

nent. To long for their restoration is to in.
dulge In the fascinating but proftless CO.
cupation Of chasing rainbows. For what
is there in our present condition or in oul
future prospects to justify the hopo that
those times will return? Our new west Ia
already fairly well peopled, and its bust
ness conditions have conformed themselves
to those Of the rest of the country. Except
in a few mining districts it no longer Of.
ers field for adventure or speculation.
Our great transcontinental railway sys-
TENS are already constructed, and not one
OF them can earn interest on the money
it cost. Our new towns and cities went
rather beyond the capisf ity of the tributary
country to s'-0port tt under the stimu.

the temporary opportunities they offered
