The Plague Spreading.

While little has appeared in the pub
lie press recently in regard to the bu-
bonic plague which created such fright
full havoc in India two years ago. re-
ports recently made TO our marine hos
pital service from all parts of the
world show a continued spread of the
East India during the week ended Au-
gust 9 last. there were 1922 new
plague cases and 1880 deaths recorded
in the Bombay presidency, an increasa
of more than 200 deaths over the PEE
vious week. In Egypt the total n-n-
Der of bubonic plague cases from April
to September was 1872 with 50
deaths In Queensland, Australia, the
official report shows 81 plague cases,
Including ten deaths, from February %
to July s. Since Queensland is an Eng
lish speaking country and the climatic,
sanitary and other conditions closely
resemble our own, the growth of the
plague there has a special significance
for us. While there is little probability
that we shall ever suffer seriously
thence too much care and vigilance
cannot be exercised in guarding
against its introduction to our shores.
Our chief security lies in the general
heaIthfulness of our climate, aud our
excellent sanitary regulations and
quarantine laws The latter need only
to be strictly observed and enforced 10

REINDEER FOR ALsAKA.
Or. jackson Will Bring Fifteen Thou
sand More From Siberia.

The government having provided for
the purchase of 1000 reindeer Tor
Alaska in addition to the 1000 already
imported. DR.. Sheldon Jackson has
gone to Siberia to make arrangements
to secure the animals.
Such great success has attended the
importation of reindeer into Alaska
that no doubt remains that by stock
ing the country with them the condi-
tions of the inhabitants can be greatly
improved. The animals born in Alaska
become larger than the parent STOCK
imported from Siberia, and it seems
that the climate of the country is espe-
clally suited to their nature and habits.
1t is expected that these animals will
furnish means of transportation in the
Interior away from navigable rivers
and that the herds will also supply the
inhabitants with meat at times when
1t may be greatly needed. Herds VIII
probably be maintained near Point Bar
row and Point Hope on the shore OF
the Arctic ocean. and when this Is
done, there will be no more danger that
sailors wrecked OH that coast and COM
PEELED to winter there will starve to
DEATH The deer will supply them with
all the food they may need.
The plan upon which these animals
will be distributed among the people Is
TO lend them to Eskimos and miners
for breeding and transportation pur-
poses. Ultimately the persons receiv-
ing them in this way will be required
to return to the government as many
animals as they received. They Will
be permitted, however to retain all the
increase.
1t is believed that in this way great
assistance will be extended to the ip-
habitants of Alaska. particularly to
the natives. The latter will be taught
to work as teamsters. thus making
themselves valuable in transportation
service. At the same time they will
learn the important lessons of thrift
