ease never affects rabbit unless the
latter is artificially inoculated cats
rarely acquire diphtheria in a natural
manner, although they will develop the
proper symptoms if diphtheria germs are
introduced into their veins, and rats are
practically immune against the disease.
An injection of toxin a hundred times
as big as is necessary to sicken a cat
will not affect rat at all. On the other
hand, the latter is almost the only known
creature aside from man which acquires
the bubonic plague. Cats and dogs oc-
casionally, but rarely, take it.
Again, few animals besides the hog
ever suffer from trichinae, and among
these few are rats and mice. In fact
rats are suspected of being one of the
means whereby hogs are infected with
the parasites. Trichinae gets into man
or an animal only through the blood.
Rats and hogs are both flesh eaters, and
if. a healthy hog had chance to eat a.
dead rat in whose body a lot of trichi-
nae were curled up it would do so with
out hesitation and would suffer the con
sequences. So far as is known, the only
way in which hogs can become infect
ed is to eat the flesh of a trichiniferous
rat, mouse, cat or puppy Full grown
dogs never suffer from this trouble.
But rats and mice can transmit the
germs of other diseases than those OF
which they are themselves the victims
II is a well established fact that com
mon flies carry typhoid and other baleful
bacteria on their feet from masses OF
infected matter to perfectly clean articles
of food which are carelessly exposed
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-09-15

Now, it is not so clearly proved that rats
and mice act in the same manner, al
though it is probable that they do to
some extent. DR.. ". H. Park mentions
case in point.
culture of certain bacillus that
was under examination had been made
in a meteorological laboratory A mouse
got access to the tube, ate some of the
gelatinous mass in which the colony was
raised, neglected to use napkin or finger
bowl, went off to some other culture
tubes in which there was uncontaminated
jelly and sampled it. Soon afterward this
jelly, too, developed the same kind of
microbes as had been Guilty. ated in the
first mentioned tube
The incident illustrates the ease with
which bacteria can be carried to meat,
bread or other articles of food which are
not securely guarded. The housekeeper
who discovers the marks of rats or a
mouse's teeth upon cheese pastry. vege-
tables or other provisions that have been
carelessly stored is not likely to consider
in what other quarter the mischievous
rodent may have been picnicking pre-
viously. To be sure, flies will visit often
sive and infected matter of various kinds
On the other hand the latter are liable
to pick Up disease germs in the soil and
elsewhere and transport them in their
fur. While, therefore, it is difficult to
make out so clear case as would lead
to prompt conviction in a court of law,
there are serious possibilities of danger

They Have q Penchant for Picking
Up the Germs of Disease.
Until recently it has been impossible to
convict the rat of any gIaver offense
than larceny, damage to articles of food
which he could not carry away or COM
pletely devour on the spot, and the con-
struction of rapid transit tunnels without
any charter. These offenses have been
aggravating in the extreme, but they
never led to any concerted movement
for his extinction There has been no
cooperation among those who sought
to capture or destroy him. But it is now
known that he is more than a mere nuis-
ance. AS a disseminator of disease he
works much more serious injuries to hui
man society than those hitherto charged
to his account, and there are signs that
this discovery may lead to a systematic
crusade against the offender.
A Japanese bacteriologist, DR.. Nashu~
da, who was visiting in Chicago few
days ago. declares that the milSados
government is likely to propose to other
nations league against This rodent The
story is not improbable There have
been international congresses to discuss
cholera, bubonic plague, tuber culosis,
leprosy and other infectious maladies.
Why should not all civilized countries
unite to suppress such a we1l-recognized
source of danger to health as rats?
The malady with which these animals
are most closely associated in the public
mir is the bubonic plague Thousands

from this source which have probably
been overlooked.
A year or two ago it was announced
that a microbe had been discovered by
one Danysz which was fatal to rats. I'm
medately the hope was excited that this
organism could be turned to advantage
If number of rats were inoculated with
microbes of this variety and were to die,
and if their surviving companions were to
eat their dead bodies, in accordance with
rat custom, a blessed epidemic might en-
sue. Within a few weeks the first prac-
teal experiments in this direction have
been reported. Success apparently did not
attend these early efforts, which were
confined to the sewer rats in Athens.
Two difficulties were encountered. The
disease germs are not sufficiently virulent
to act satisfactorily, and the bodies of
those rats which die in consequence of
incubation are not eaten by their COM
panions. For the present, therefore, it Is
doubtful whether this new eXpedient will
be of any service, and even In the mat
ter of direct, poisoning there is much yet
to be learned. If Japan initiates a grand
international movement for the suppress
sion of rats, therefore, it will be wise
to improve, if possible, upon existing
methods Of warfare.-New York Tribune.
