Mobile, Dec. 6-(Special.)-A most im- portant case was heard in the Recorder s Court this morning. wherein the question of obligation or duty of a veterinary surgeon, as to the reporting to the city health department of any contagious dis case of horses or cattle in the city was involved.
 The defendant was Dr. Joseph Patt. When the case was called, it developed that on November Il. last. Charles w. Roycroft. a merchant of this city. pur- chased a horse from William Roill. a los cal man, he having purchased the ami nal from B. J. Bishop. who wd& selling horses for J. L. E,hols of Decatur, Ala. Four days ;fter the purchase of the horse, Roycroft had occasion to believe the animal was not sound, and he sent for Dr. Pstt to examine it. The surgeon was not satisfied and took some of the froth from the animals mouth to exam ire. Again on the 18th, Dr. Patt made a further examination and later reported to Roycroft that the horse had glanders, very dangerous and decidedly conta- gious disease.
 Dr. Patt, after pronouncing his diag- nosis. informed MT. Roycroft that he should get rid of the horse. Roycroft by instruction of the surgeon. reported the case to the clerk of the City Board of Health, pr. D. T. Rogers. The latter at once communicated the facts to Chief of Police Soost, who. in turn instructed Roycroft to kill the animal. This was done.
 Later a warrant for Dr. Patt was issued for violation of the section of the City Code, relating to the health ordinance When the case was called this morning the defendant. MT. Roycroft, and Chiei Soost were examined. The facts brought forth were substantially as noted. The trial judge, Hon. J. N. McAleer, after hearing the testimony. instructed the de- fendant that inasmuch as he had advised and requested MT. Roycroft to report the case to the health department, and Roy. | croft had so done. the court would order a dismissal, but advised Dr. Patt that
 in future, it would be advisable for him
 to make the report himself according tc law. After the decision, Mir. Roycroft stated that he would at once ask for a
 warrant for Messrs. Refill, Bishop an6
 Echols for selling to him a horse affected
 with a contagious disease.

fish, but full story of the experience of the expedition was told World reporter by Professor Bogoras.
 "In the division of the work" he said. 'T took the tribes further north, while the interior was gone over by Professor Jochelson. I went straightway to the most northern part of Asiatic Russia away out near Behring Strait. This brought me among the Chuckchi tribe. They are reindeer breeders. For three years I wandered with the band. and be- came one of them. found that these people undoubtedly belong to the same stock as the American Indian.
 whether the Indian crossed over to that country or whether the Arctic peo- pie crossed over to this continent can not say, but I am quite sure that we have, by our investigations, brought out sufficient proof to establish forever to the civilized world that there was one round Pacific race of the same stock as the Chinese and Japanese.
 Language the Same.
 'I found the words of the Chuckchi tribe are the same in many instances as the words used by the American Indians for conveying the same thought. I have compiled a dictionary of the language of Arctic tribes of about 10000 words. and
 
 language. Professor Jochelson was all this time In the interior studying the life and customs of the Yookaghirs, the Kory- aks and the Yakats. We both went about our work in about the same way. We studied the languages spoken by the diff ferent tribes. We picked up relics and specimens of weapons. and got the le- gends and traditions of the various peo- ples with whom we went to live. We had cameras with us and took pictures everywhere we went, and we took with us American photographs, and had the natives speak into them, thus being able to get records of their voices giving language and accent which can be used in furthering our comparative study of the American Indian. It was very amusing to see the Eskimo talk ir the photograph, and afterward listen tc his own words. They thought it was a live creature initiating them.
 Method of Praying.
 Another interesting exhibit we have for the museum is a board with prayers painted on it. The Chuckchi tribe, say age and wild as 1t Is, has a religion al it's own. It worships some deity and its method of prayer Is to paint in blood or a board a picture of what it wants and hold the board high in the air. In this we can trace the American Indians for. mer way of praying"
 Professor Jochelson brought back iron the interior tribes love letters written or birch bark. They are nothing but pie lures.
 Tt is difficult to explain how these people stand the cold said Professor Bogotas. 'I saw men and women hall naked while the thermometer was more than 50 degrees below zero. They did not
 
 they would rub the snow on their naked bodies as if it were a balm to them. Men half stripped would wrestle in the snow for our amusement, and I took several photographs of them while carrying .on such games
