bovine tuberculosis is not transmittable

DR.. Allen F. Haight of Chicago, ofsicfal

IF had not heard Prof. Koch quietly
announce his discovery in private con-
versation it would have seemed to me
absolutely incredible. 1 can only say
that DR.. Koch is too profound student

English experts talked of the theory
With mingled astonishment and contempt
and asserted that the German professor
would encounter stubborn debate and
learned disp.oof of his mad idea
DIR. Reynolds, health commissioner Of
Chicago, when informed of Prof. Koch's
theory, said:
<.'The discovery is certainly of the
highest importance, especially as regards
milk. AS far as meat is concerned,
never believed it contained elements Of
danger when cooked, and therefore the
announcement has comparatively less
significance for the civilized peoples Of
the world. AS to milk taken in its natur-
al state, it is a different proposition.
While probably nobody is desirous of
drinking the milk of tuberculosis cows
yet a great boon would be assured If it
can be consumed with impunity. The
discovery will also have practical re-
suit in simplifying milk inspection, al
though not altogether rendering this un
necessary"

New York. July 23.-The health officer
Of the port, DR.. Doty, has decided to take
hold of the mosquito question in Staten
Island and attempt the determination of
the pests. A part of the island adjacent
to the quarantine station has been Sc
lected for the test. DR.. Doty says:
1--WE have been at work for the last
year in our laboratory on the mosquito
larvae. in order to determine bacterlo-
logically what can be done. First, to de-
termine if the insect produces malaria; !;
second, If, so, can malaria be prevented
by the determination of the mosquito and
it's larvae.
"The test I have determined to make
will be applied to part of Staten ISL
and adjoining our station and opposite
to the quarantine islands, in extent
about three miles by one and one-half
miles.
"The boundaries of this district, New
Drop Lane, Richmond Road. Vanderbilt
avenue and New York Bay. All the
swamps, ponds, marshes and wet places
will be inspected by men from our lab
oratory to determine just where the pos
sible breeding places are situated.
"The mosquito and its larvae will be
taken in just such places and will be ex-
amined to determine the presence OF ma
laria. Local physicians will be asked to
cooperate by reporting all cases of ma
laria. All intelligent cooperation will
be accepted.
"The treatment of breeding places OF
the MOSQUITO will be an important factor.
This is in line with our quarantine work,
as the quarantine hospital for yellow
fever is adjacent to the district selected
for the test"

on the ship canal proposition is being
considered today at a meeting of the
canal commission of the produce ex-

Ontario to Oswego and through the Mo-
hawk valley to the Hudson river. and as
there is considerable opposition to this
recommendation, there is likely to be
lively discussion so far as the New York
Canal association is concerned.

'.The farmer. like every other business
man, always does what he believes to be
best for his own interest. but in a case
like this it is extremely difficult to dis
seminate broadly in farming value. By
this I mean if We only could spread all
through the corn belt the news that if
the season of cultivation We're extend

limit, there would need be no fear of the
result"

the losses will not be great, most Of
