Augusta restaurant proprietors who
have been procuring Scarboro clans for
their customers cannot get them now
and are compelled to get their supply
from Boston. The reason for this is
that the last Legislature put close
time on the succulent clam of the
Scarboro variety which lasts from the
first Of April to the first of October Of
eachay year. During this period of six
months no person is allowed to dig or
take~clams from the shores of the
town of Scarboro under penalty of not
less than $40 nor more than $500 for
each and every offense. This prohibi-
ton. however, does not apply to inhabi-
tants of the town who take clans for
personal consumption, nor to hotel
proprietors in the town who take them
for the consumption of their guests.
The law is intended to stop the ship
meEt out of the town. Apparently it Is
being lived up to, for not Scarboro
clam can now be obtained in this city.

Responsible for the Death Of Many
American Soldiers.
Capt Charles Kieeffer, a United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
a medical point of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange .malady known as f1laria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
Quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.
The hrst indication Of filaria ap-
pears in the form of worm in the
victims thorax This develops into
elephantiasis, which causes the pa.
tient terrible pains, accompanied by
constant cough The sufferer Is
worst at night, and the patient be-
comes a prey to insomnia.
The only remedy lies in an opera
ton, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. II the worm, which
Is female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
into the blood, the disease is increased
thousandfold and the chances Of re-
covery are small.

Bristol, England, Are the Best.
The birth of litter OF lions at
Haslemere PARK, private menagerie
In England, leads one of the English
papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori-
GUS among those who interest them
selves in the study Of wild beasts In
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion, tiger and leopard cubs born in
that country have CLEFT palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to their
premature death. But, beyond this, .
more astonishing tact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biolcgists-is
that which determines that of all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.
So well known is this to professional
ehowmen and menagerie keepers that
Bristol born" is a recognized brand II
