plague. II was discovered By Kitasato
In 1884, and independently In the same
year BY Yersin. whose protective se-
rum & used as preventive. The germ
Is a somewhat shortened and roun6ed
bacillus, that nourishes at q tempera-
ture approaching that Of the blood.
Apparently tie germ does not multiply
by giving on spores" or seedlike
bodies, but BY simple division Of the
parent germs into others. II is easily
killed. A temperature Of 212 degrees
Fahrenheit destroys Il quickly, and
acids also act efficiently In this diree-
tion. Yersin found the plague germ
living In the soil IN affected places. In
the earth 1t appears to be non-virulent,
but placed in another environment,

ops Into disease-produeing powers.
Cows, sheep, pigs, cats, and, Of course,
rats, are affected by It, but the dog is
said to enjoy an immunity from the
attentions Of this bacillus. Gaining &C
cess TO the body, through the skin for
me most part, and probably through
some abrasion or wound, the bacilh
make for the glands, and as these swell
an enlarge, constituting what doctors
call "buboes," the disease has become
known as the "bubonie plague" The
feas which infest the rat are also cred
tied with q share in the diffusion Of the
ailment, for, charged with the mi
crobes, these parasites win infect other
rats, or may possibly inOculats man.
Hence the crusade against rats which

IN a description Of his project writ
tan exclusively for the Chicago Ameri-

account Of what he hopes to accom-
pliah.
obviGting q blur oeeasioned by an

trated reflections Of the telescope i'm
age is the feature Of Mr.. Brooke's
plans which distinguishes his scope
from others. The reason that the
image Of q planet seen IN the small
end Of q telescope is blurred and in
distinct is that the telescope is near

from study Of near-slghted people
ne has hit upon his scheme Of rehee-

The instrument planned by Mr..
Brooke and on which he has obtained
estimates calls for the largest lens
