LEPROSY THRIVES
ON CANARY ISLANDS

Washington, April 12.-The existence
of about 200 lepers on the island Of Te-
neriffe, Canary islands, has been Off
cially reported here by United States
Consul Berliner at Teneriffe. He says
there are three distinct classes Of lepro-
sy i'm Teneriffe island, namely, lepra
arabum, lepra elephantiasis and lepra
tuberculosis. The disease DIVORCES into
two main varieties, the spotted and the
nodUlar. The report is based on per-
sonal investigation and assistance of
physicians, and says:
'Leprosy is somewhat endemic
among people here, on account of their
eating a good dead of fish, often putrid,
and their general uncleanliness. AS
being contagious. it is generally dis
credited here, but in my opinion it is
very infectious. In former years Spain
had established a colony at Grand Ca
nary for lepers. They were housed
there but had perfect liberty to wander
about with the restriction that they
must dwell at the houses built for them.
In course of time this law became
dead letter, and ~-adualy they spread
over the differe ~ lds
AT Santa Cruz de ~neriffe, the cap
ital, there are twenty-five lepers, if
teen of whom are men; there also are
some children OF these unfortunates.
They are given a place about fifteen

You meet them at all times of the day
in town or road, asking aims and ex-
posing their limbs. Many have no fin
gers or toes and hObble along, and a
more pitiable sight is hard to imagine.
Officially il is not recognized that
leprosy exists on the island. The pro-
vincial government at Teneriffe has
lately built a large building about two
miles out of town. The building has
two separate wings, one for insane
patients and the other Tor Iepers."

/ other report. says that leprosy there is
decidedly decreasing. There are fifty
patients in the leper hospital at L.
Plamas. A few families infected viii
