The Bubonic Plague.

The plague of to-day Is the lneal
descendant of that which was cleared
away from London by the great fire. 1t
represents one OF many epidemlcs
which history teaches us devastated
Europe during past ages-pests, these.
abolished by the disappearance OF dirt
which forms their soil and breeding
place. We know the germ OF the
plague. 1t was discovered by Kitasto
in 1894, and independently in the same
year by Yersin, whose protective serum
is used as a preventive.
The germ is a somewhat shortened
and rounded bacillus, that hourishes at
a temperature approaching that of the
blood. Apparently the germ does not
multiply by giving off spores" or
seedlike bodies. but by simple division
of the parent germs into others. 1t is
easily killed. A temperature OF 212
degrees Fahrenheit destroys it quickly.
and acids also act efficiently in this di.
rection. Yersin found the plague germ
living in the soil in affected places. In
the earth II appears to be non-virulent.
but placed In another environment, say
the animal body. II speedily develops
its disease-producing powers. Cows,
sheep. pigs, cats. and, of course. rats,
are affected by it, but the dog is said
to enjoy an immunity from the atten-
tions OF this bacillus. Gaining access
to the body. through the skin for the
most part, and probably through some
abrasion or wound. the bacilli mako
for the glands. and as these swell and
enlarge. constituting what doctors call
'buboes," the disease has become
known AZ the "bubonic plague"
The leas which infect the rat are
also credited with share in the diff
fusion of the ailment, for, charged with
the microbes, these parasites will in
feet other rats, or may possibly inocu-
lnte man. Hence the crusade against
rats which has been ordered and ad-
vised. II may be added that In one
form of the plague the lungs are liza
BILE to be specially involved, and the
coughed-up matter in that case Is high
ly infectious.

did you ever hear OF man who

e. Showalter while talking to a group
of horsemen in the Hoffman house lob
by few evenings ago.
"oh, you needn't give me the laugh;
it's so. I've done IT,
"Of course 1t isn't every one who can
do it-just as there are few artists
that can catch the expression of horse

principle that some shepherds know

at which one could make living then
in that section, and went on bee
ranch.
There you go again! Because you
never heard Of anything but horses you
imagine a bee ranch doesn't exist.
Well, II does. That whole section ia
practically covered w.t. white sage,
the bloom Of which ma6es perhaps the
best honey In the world. Consequent
ly the country has been divided into
great bee ranches and the production
of honey became quite an industry.
Some OF the best pure white honey
on the New York market to-day" said
Col. Showalter, Accepting to the New
York Times, comes from San Diego.
In the course OF the development of
the industry it was found that the
black bee, from near the River Po, in
Italy, was the best suited for their pur-
pose. Well, l worked for about year
on bee ranch and became so familiar
with the bees that learned to dlstin-
guish them from each other"

picnic story: "A picnic party of Hope
fontein, composed of school children
and teachers, with their friends. had
their outing favored with degree OF
excitement which does not usually fall
to the lot OF picnickers. During the
day 1t became known that one of the
goats on the farm had been killed by
a leopard in open daylight Several OF
the boys of the farm went In pursuit OF
the marauder. which was discovered
early in the afternoon, and two well.
aimed shots ended his career. but not

New York Ia enjoying n new story

broadway theater. but the only one
available was the Herald Square. OF
which Mansfield has the exclusive con-
trol for eight weeks. Col Hinton
Visited the great artist but his propo-
tition was rejected with scorn. Mans
Held could not think for one moment
pt tolerating a brass band within the
sacred walls which six nights In the
week are privileged to re-echo the
tones OF his voice. Linton. who is
man of great resources. was struck
by happy idea lie softly suggested
10 Mansfield that of all the compost
lions which IL had been Sousa's proud
privilege to play those which had just-
dy earned the bandmasters greatest
admiration were the compositions by
one Richard Mansfield. II is said that
a smile replaced the clouded brow of
the actor and after few more mo-
ments of discussion il was agreed that
MIR. Sousa could have the theater on
Sunday nights on one condition. name
ly that Manshelds own march should
be given place of great prominence
on the program. What seems to be an
unfounded rumor adds to this little
story the fact that somebody bought
thirty-hve tickets for the concert, and
that by curious coincidence the seats
were occupied by members Of Mans
fields company. who were conspicu-
ously vehement in applauding the
work of their star.
