quarantine, and medical treatment, the
field Of the plague has been narrowed
year by year, until now it is almost ex-
clusively confined to countries like
India and China, with occasional out
breaks in such ports as Santos, Brazil,
where the conditions are fully as invit-
ing for an epidemic as they are in the
Orient.
In view of the alarm caused by the
appearance Of the plague at various
places in Europe last June, July and Au-
gust, an international congress of pub
lie health bodies were called to meet
at Brussels on Sept. 4, when the prog
ress Of the pestilence throughout the
world and measures for its suppression
were discussed. Many valuable expert

related. At this conference the history

names by which 1t has ben known at

make it rain or not us he desired. She
wanted to give a lawn party on Ger

weather could not be clear on that af-

themselves. To make her conimunicsa.

people whom she intended to invite.

account could not possibly make II
