scientists and other folks seem to have made greater headway with the mos quito than with the flea. And then there are any number of other house hold pests. each of which contributes it's quota of discomfort to man.
 Most people think they know all about fieas. At any rate, all they wish to know. But really the flea is one or the most interesting of insects, and many great scientists have devoted years to studying it's habits. The great French cntOmologist, Moret, devoted two solid years to the study of single species. And then he said he had only begun to find |ut something.
 Scientifically the hea's name is Pulex irritans. It belongs to the order of wingless insects and exists in ae least twenty species and several hundred varieties. The commonest kind that exist on this coast are the dog heas, cattle fieas, pig fleas. cat fieas and the. kind that are troublesome to human beings. Any one of the different kinds Is capable of being very annoying to human being, but those that belong to animals are not much trouble, because they can be shaken off, and that is the end of them; they die very quickly after being deprived of the animal heat

W. X. Tillinghast In support of the
exceptions, argued that the questions in
volved arose under the highway act, and
whatever title the city had came from
that act. and the act itself contained no
statement of the title obtained; that con-
demnation proceedinss are In invitium
and the statutes gre strictly construed,
and there csn be no question that, unless
distinctly otherwise provided, all the city
obtains Is that which the common law
has ever regarded as sufficient for the AZ
complishment Of the public purpose,
namely, an easement on the land.
Edward DE v. O'Connor, who was as j.
socihtod with lis brother, Charles y.
O'Connor, ~ counsel for the dsfen iants,
argued that the tenancy was terminated
by tho statute relating TO tie layout of
highways; that the title Of the city to the
land condemned under the highway aot
is analogous to its title under the hetter-
ment ACT so-callen. and under the decis-
tons of the court the plaintiff had no
right to maintain its action; that there
Is sufficient common law around for
maini aisiing such action. VA
MIR. O'Cunnor alsU urged that the delay
of the city In opening the highway
should not give TO the plaIntiff a right to
hold the defendants responsible for use
and occupation.
The court held the matter for advise
ment.

 Scarlet and typhoid fever are spread over the largest expanse, but they are cOrrespondingIy lighter in number. In no case, outside of the military camps, which were not fully reported in the fiscal year, were there more than four to six fatalities in any one block.
 Similarly with the pneumonia, pluer- isy and other acute lung diseases, the deaths and cases reported extended farther into the Western Addition than any of the other marked diseases The same diseases. however, congest in the Chinese and Latin quarters.
 Diphtheria is found unexpectedly in numerous instances on so elevated section as Bernal Heights. But it ap- pears to center in the three sections in which the other accentuated diseases concentrate.
 This concentrating of diseases In cer- tain well-defined districts of the city is the most interesting and useful aspect of the exhibit. The lines embracing tu- berculosis, the levers. the lung com plaints and diphtheria cross and in clude much of the same ground in and about the Chinese quarter; also the ground south of Market down to Bry ant and between First and Eighth streets; also a limited area in the Mis- sion between Guerrero and Harrison and Seventeenth and TWenty-third streets.
 In the south of Market street section the statistician reports S04 deaths. In what is known as the Latin Quarter, bounded by Sansome and Powell and Broadway and Greenwich, the statis- tician reports 187 deaths. In the Chi nese quarter, as previously stated, $40. In the Mission section the total was about 200 the section in which all of the more acute diseases were recorded being of comparatively limited extent.
 The effects of good sewerage, clean liv- ing, clean streets and the notorious San Francisco winds, 1t is claimed by the Health Department officials, are shown in the representations of this map. The immunity of the far northwestern DOT tion of the city and of the sections far ther south, which get the strong after noon and ocean breezes, Is looked upon as an unmistakable demonstration of the benefits of these otherwise some what disagreeable winds.

 President Jordan of Stanford Uni versity was also deeply interested in this plan and it was owing to his in dorsement of it that it was put to a practical test. In fact President Jor- dan seems to have had the idea about as soon as MT. Murray. He went north during the summer about six years ago and tried the experiment on his own responsibility. It was so successful that he put forth his best efforts to get the United States Government to make 1t a practice.

 There are in the United States only two such monasteries-on at Gethse- mane, Nelson County, Ky, and the other near Dubuque, Iowa. In the en- tire world there are only thousand of these monks, who have taken upon themselves voluntarily the arduous life of prayer and sohtude,s contemplation, labor and privation.
 The order was founded in the year 400 by St Bernard, on much the same plan as it exists to-day, but the de- mands were so great that the disci- pline was for a time relaxed, until. in HOO, it was restored by the Abbey of
