French physician. An antitoxic serum
prepared on similar principles to that
used in diphtheria has been employed
with success.
The Health Departments of New

sion OF millions OF germs of the
plague. These are capable of spread
ing the disease throughout the land,
but it is hardly necessary to say that
they are properly secured. The bac'

enable them to prepare the anti-toxic

Wonders of Insect Fecundity.

Away back in 1850 tho people of
East Prussia had o little experience
with an imported insect which re-
minds us of the growth of the English
sparrow pest. There was O. young
entomologist living near Cheron who
had exchanged some insect cocoons
with brother bugfaneier. Those
obtained in exchange by the Cheron
student were cocoons of the insect
known to the entomologists as Laparis
monacha. In due course of time
male and o female Laparis broke their
silky coverings and came out to
breathe the Prussian air. The young
student. figured that in the future he
would 60 out and pick hisown Laparis
cocoons, and accordingly he gave the
insects their liberty. The patch Of
woods into which they were turned to
pasture comprised 10000 acres and
was one of the finest preserves in that
country. 1t was April when Mr.. and
Mrs. Laparis tried their wings for the
first time, but by September their
progeny had 80 increased that the air
was full of insects. BY October of the
following year there was not live
sprig in that forest of $4,000 acres,
the entire wood having heen converted
into a desert covered with lifeless tree
trunks. During the eighteen months
which elapsed between the time when
the insects were turned loose and the
last date mentioned, when the forest
was pronounced complete ruin, the
people of the vicinity had collected
and burned 600 pounds or 900, 600, 900
single eggs, and had destroyed more
than 5000, 600 fully matured moths !
How is that for insect iecunditY?

THE Danger of Tuberculosis From Milk.

The apprehension which exists in
the public mind regarding the danger
of receiving the contagion of tuber-
culosis from infected milk seems to
require that we refer to the subject.
That the danger exists is no longer
denied, but that it is sometimes over
estimated is also true. The danger is
evidently greatest when the udder is
affected and it is then very grave
danger. fortunately. the cases in
which the udder becomes affected are
not numerous in only seven per cent.
of the animals condemned and killed
by us was there any disease detected
in the udder. Report of q Connecti-
cut Commission.

H ions of victims in India, and
v the plague is not only ravag-
ing that land, but is begin
ming to cast its shadow over the world,
says the New York Journal.
In well-fed America we can hear OF
the hungry millions with a pity not
unmixed with satisfaction that we are
otherwise. But no nation or class IS
above the fear of the plague germ. 1t
can travel round the earth in thou
sand different receptacles, is insensi BILE
to climate, and, attacking inYls1bly,
brings Wholesale death.
Plague and famine are cooperating
in way that must make the best eff
forts of officials and scientists seem
hopeless. The irrigation tanks, very
numerous in Northern India, have
been reduced by drought to stagnant
puddles, and these have been con-
yerted by diseased men and animals
into inexhaustible sources of conts-
gion. The prevalence of famine has
forced the people to eat the most pu-
trid of food, which is in many cases
infected by diseased rats and insects.
The native quarter OF Bombay is
practically deserted. 1t is strewn
with deserted bodies, and its condi-
tion menaces an epidemic in the Euro
pean quarter. The death rate among
the natives has grown so high that it
is impossible to keep reliable record.
The country for hundreds of miles
around Bombay is ravaged by plague
and famine. The large port of Kara
chi is very badly infected.

TOWER OF SILENCE, RESTING PLACE OF THE DEAD

the Brooklyn Health Department.
They were obtained from DR.. Yersin
by n surgeon in the navy, who brought
them to this country.
In the Brooklyn'Health Department
o Journal reporter had the satisfaction
of examining few dead bacilli of the
plague under q microscope and OF
gazing at patch of living ones re-
posing on gelatine in test tube.
What will he done to protect New
York in case OF the arrival of a1 in
fected ship is an important question.
DR.. Alvah b. Doty, the Health Officer
of the Port, says that he is fully pre-
pared for such an emergency. He has
representatives at Suez, Naples and
other ports, who will warn him by
cable of infected ships.
It will be hard for the bubonic
plague to come into New York on the
body or clothing of any human being.
This port has now the most perfect
and modern disinfecting apparatus in
existence. 1t would be impossible for
the germs of any disease to pass
through it and remain alive.
This apparatus has been constructed
under the supervision of DR.. Doty.
1t is installed on the steamboat James
w. Wadsworth, which is stationed at
Quarantine ready at any moment to
get mp steam and proceed to the dis
injection OF suspected persons or
ships. DR.. Doty's principal assistants
are DR.. rEommedieu and Mr.. Skinner.
Diainfection is enforced on persons
from abroad at the discretion of the
Eealth officer. 1t Will certainly be
enforced on all coming from India or
other ports from which the germs of
the dreaded plague are liable to be
carried.
The Wadsworth is q marvel of sci.
entiic ingenuity in its fittings. The
upper deck is given up to the disln-
fecting plant. A series of compart-
ments begins forward and ends aft.
They are entirely lined with galvan.
lied iron, coated with white enamelled
paint, and incapable of allowing any
liquid CT other substance to escape. The
