BUBoNIC PLAGUE AND FISH.
Government Physicians Say There is a
Connection Between the Two.

Connection Between the Two.
Much interest has been caused among
physicians here by n recent report from
Robert NJ AIcWade. United States CON
sui at Canton in which he SAYS:
"Apropos of bubonic plague, | feel it
is my duty to say 10 you that in my en-
perience fiSh-eating people are those first
attacked by that awful scourge. and who
die from it in the greatest numbers. Ny
experience has been that of such able
specialists as DR.. John NJ Swan and Dr.
same conditions in Bombay, Calcutta.
Bangkok, Hong Kong, Swallow, Canton
and Chinese towns and villages along
the banks of the great rivers and their
tributaries | venture to suggest that
this fact may be worthy of the considera-
ton of the medical department of out
government"
Mr.. McWade's idea of the eating Of
fish as cause for bubonic plague is by
no means new, but upon the receipt of
his report, the Marine Hospital service
made a thorough investigation of 1t and
former similar reports.
1t has been known ever since the in
vestigation of bubonic plague and its
causes was taken up by the service that
most species of wild animals and fish are
affected with Il plague. The different
families of wild animals are affected
each by disease confined to it alone.
Some time ago report came from
Japan that plague in the human race
was caused by germs received in the eat
ing of fish. The Japanese specialist
Nickaladi made Il thorough investigation
and after many experiments stated that
the plague reported in fish families was
in no way similar TO bubonic plague, and
in no way could germs from the fish
cause plague in the human race.
Surgeon General Wyman of the United
States Marine Hospital service states III
connection with Consul McWade's re-
port that if bubonic plague is prevalent
among the inha btants of towns and
cities along the water front and among
fish-eating people. it is due only to the
exposure undergone by them, and by
their unsanitary mode of living.
DR. Wyman explained that it had been
demonstrated beyond dispute that the
germs of bubonic plague first became evil
dent i'll the lower limbs of persons af-
fected and in like manner the plague at
lacking wild animals were to he first
noticed in their feet, but although the
| first symptoms of these diseases were
similar. their effects and conditions were
! in no way alike.
Regarding the first evidences Of the
disease i'll the limbs, he said that without
| doubt the prevalence of bubonic plague
among ish-eating people was caused by
| the reception of the germs of the disease
| in abrasionS of the feet and legs, which
| was made possible because these people
wore no shoes or other protection
| DIR. Wyman and his assistants are
positive that bubonic plague is not
| caused by the eating of fish.

WHITE ANTS DISLIKE HEMLoCK.
Fact of Great Importance to Lumbermer
of Puget Sound.

Recent tests made in the Philippines
under federal jurisdiction have estab-
lished the fact that hemlock from this
state is the only wood that the white
ants of the tropics will not attack.
The discovery is considered Of the
greatest Importance BY lumbermen. since
great difficulty has been experienced
with the ants in tropical countries, and
heretofore no wood impervious to their
attacks could be found.
The Philippine forestry bureau made
a thirty days test of the attacks of ants
These included Douglas fir, bull pine,
spruce, California redwood ana Califor-
MIA white cedar. Hemlock alone, of all
the woods submitted to the ants, was
not molested. In connection with these

Experiments on the nervous system

that the red end of the spectrum is ex-

and green are calming. Every sufferer

1t has been suggested that the green OF

powerful influence in calming the spirits

Herbert Spencer, philosopher as he is,
has always claimed the right to change
his mind. Once he was vegetarian.
That, perhaps, was in his salad days.
Now he facetiously dubs vegetarians
''the devotees of the truck garden" In a
recent interview, referring to the time
when personal experience had convinced
him that vegetarianism is fallacy, he
said: Il went over all that / had writ

rianism, and consigned it to the fire"
