It Is a Microbic Disease That Is Fer
petuated In Filthy Regions.
of China.

To many people the reports, few
years ago, of the appearance Of the
plague in. China, and later in India,
came with a shock of surprise. The
plague was disease associated in their
minds with antiquity or the middle ages
and was thought to be one of the extinct
scourges of man, as safely buried as any
Of it's victims.
In reality, however, it has never died
| out. Although it retired from Europe,
driven before the slowly improving
cleanliness of modern civilization, it has
been preserved through all these years
in some of the almost inaccessible and
indescribably filthy regions of western
China and the neighboring countries
/ of central Asia. 1t exists also in certain
parts of central Africa, and small cpl
demic prevailed in Astrakhan, in Rus
s:a, only about 20 years ago.
Since 1894 we have heard constantly
Of the plague in the seaport towns of
China and in India, chiefly in Bombay,
and now it has reached Mecca, and has
been brought thence to the shores of
the Mediterranean by returning Mo-
hammedan pilgrims.
| The plague is a microbic disease. 1t
thriyes in filth and in the generally I'M
sanitary conditions associated with the
crowding together of human beings in
small and dark habitations. Rats suffer
from it, and are believed to be instru-
mental in it's spread. Fleas are also
charged with transporting the virus
from the sick to the well.
1t is called the bubonic plague be-
cause of the swelling of glands in the
groin or armpits, which is one of its
chief and most constant symptoms
The disease begins like all fevers, with
headache, loss of appetite, nausea, in
definite pains in the muscles and bones
lassitude, a chilly sensation, and sc
forth; but the sign which enables the
sufferer to foretell his fate with almost
absolute certainty is tenderness or
pressure under the arms and in the
groin, the forerunner of glandula1
swelling.
There is little to do for one who has
the disease, but much can be done tt
prevent it. 1t cannot thrive in sunlight
and cleanliness, and an extensive cpl
demic could not prevail in any city
where modern sanitary regulations are
enforced.
The pneumonia" plague, from which
several persons died in Vienna las
year, is form of the plague which at
tacks the lungs chiefly, the symptoms
being in many respects very similar t.
those of ordinary pneumonia. Thi
form is exceedingly fatal, almost every
case ending in death. Of sufferers from
the bubonic plague about eight out o
ten die.-Youth's Companion.

Diamonds Made in Pines.

Scattered over southern Africa are
great pipes in which diamonds have
been made, says Prof. MOison. There
pipes are made of blue ground. Each
volcanic pipe (for their origin seems to
have been volcanic) is the vent for it's
own special laboratory, a laboratory
buried at greater depths than we have
reached or are likely to reach; where
the temperature is comparable with
that of the electric furnace; where the
pressure is fiercer than in our labora-
tories; where no oxygen is present and
where masses Of car 5on-saturated iron

been exchanged, at Mr.. Aliens request
it was hauled down and Mr.. Allen re-
manned aboard as the private guest of

navy department not to detract in any
way from the honors to be accorded
Dewey. An officer from Fort Hancock
shortly afterward came aboard to con.
vey the formal welcome of the army.

Between this line of beautifully
lighted war ships and the Staten Is
land shore darted brilliantly illum-
mated launches carrying prettily
gowned women and occasionally a
party of naval officers resplendent in
gold braided dress uniforms. The
searchlights of the ships chased many
of these elusive water greyhOunds
as they scurried hither and thither in
and out among the war ships, stopping
at the gangway of one ship and then
hurrying to another, the ladies beg

for signaling were kept constantly

Another unique illumination was
placed on the slope overlooking the

string of alternate American flags and

bearing three large arc lights covered
with red, white and blue globes. Very

BJRROWING BIRDS.
Some That Are Remarkable for Their
Power of Flight Nest In
the Earth.

If wingless birds, unable to place
their nest or gain security for their
sitting mate and her brood on trees or
earth they would be considered to be
making an intelligent effort at self
preservation. But the burrowing birds
are mainly species remarkable for their
power of flight, and could choose any
site they preferred to nest on. Even
the pufins can fly away to the Med
.terranean every year, and the king
fisher and sheldrake are both remark
able, the one for the velocity, the other
for the sustained power, OF its travel
through the air. Sand martins, the
smallest of our swallows, and the
stormy petrels, the tiniest of web
footed birds, both choose to toll at
mining the earth for a nesting place,
though both belong to families famous
for flight both over land and sea, and
neither has the slightest especial equip
ment for such arduous labor. Other
petrels, true ocean birds, and independ-
ent except at nesting time, of any ele-
ment but air and sea, burrOw in the
earth by choice when the single egg is
to be laid. 1t is not even a successful
device. The capped petrol, now be-
lieved to be extinct, Was killed off in
its only breeding places, the islands of
Guadalupe and Dominica, largely be-
cause it did burrow, and so was easily
caught both by men and small carniv-
orous animals. Yet the zeal with which
such tiny birds as the petrels or sand
martins work at their tunnels shows
that they believe them to be a necessity
for success in life.
Early last spring a freshly arrived
party of sand martins reached the
mouth of the river Otter, in Devon
! shire, almost at the beginning CT April
! and at once selected bank just ser the
stream for an experiment in burrowing.
The little birds were almost as tame
as bees; possibly they were all young
birds of the past year, and in the soil
tudes of Libya had not yet learned any
fear of man between the days of their
leaving and returning to the banks of
the Otter. They clustered and fiuttered
like brown moths against the red earth,
and competed for claims" with gentle
rivalry. Though they could hardly have
recovered from the fatigue of thei
fight from Africa, their first thought
was to select a site for this abnormal
and unnecessary labor of excavation
