RINGwoRM AT SCHOOL.
i Health Officers Discovery

Waterbury. Sept 30.-A matter which has caused consternation among pa rents having children at the Hendricks son school was the discovery there yes terday by Health Officer Kilmartin of a certain skin disease known as trycho- phytosis, or ringwornn. The disease is contagious. s
 Dr. Kilmartin's attention was called to the matter by one of the teachers at the school. He found that a number of children who had been suffering with the disease had already recovered, but that others had also been affected. There are at present about half a dozen children afflicted with the disease. which, aside from being unpleasant and contagious. sometimes causes the hair to fall out and the scalp to be left bare for life
 While this disease is not ciassed 1 among the contagious diseases on the index of the statutes, the circumstances were such that Health Officer Kiilnartin deemed it advisable to have the chill dren suffering with it sent from school, to remain at their homes until all ves- l tige of the disease had left them. They will not be permitted to attend school until their bodies are entirely clean from the effects of the disease. as to allow them with the other children would be to invite a spreading of the malady. The disease has not been con fined to one room, but a number of rooms have been affected.
 It is not known just how the disease broke out. but the proper steps have been taken to check it and there is little probability of it spreading further. Tn case other children are affected they will be sent home immediately on its l appearance. One man acquainted with the facts ir l the case said to-day that the schools ot I the city should be given medical sur veillance at certain periods in the year | At present only the teacher can look
 after the health of the children under
 her care and the results are not always good. Had the affair at the Hendrick-
 en school been allowed to go longer
 there is little doubt that it would have
 assumed proportions of a dangerous I character.

THIRD ANNUAL FRENCH PLAY.
To be Presented by French Club This Fall-objects of the Club.

du-CDJeCLS OI the CIuD.
 The French club, or 'Le Cercle Fran caise de rUniversite Yale,'' was organ ized in 1898 with the object of promo ting interest in the French language and literature among the students of the university. Meetings are held on alternate Mondays throughout the year, at which talks on subjects of interest are given by friends, of the club, gene rally members of the faculty.
 The club has also established a French lectureship fund in order to se- cure speakers of distinction to lecture publicly under its auspices.
 M. Hughes LeRoux and M. Leopold Mabilleau, the distinguished author and lecturer, have been among those who have lectured in former years.
 Tn 1901 the club successfully presented it's first annual play. Labiche's 'Le Pou- dre aux Yeux." Last year the club pre- sented Les Vivacites du Capitaine Tic.'' by the same author.
 This year the play committee has chosen play by one of the foremost French writers, and this will call for a more elaborate production and more finished cast than ever before. As these plays have become an annual social and literary feature of the fall term, it Is ex- pected that an unusual number of can didates will respond to the call for can didates that will be given ia ftw days.
 The following are the officers of the French club: D. F. Fox, 1904, presi- dent; K. Winslow, 1905. vice-president; c. l.. Lawrence, 1905, secretary and treasurer. The committee that has the play for this year in charge Is composed of D. F. Fox 1904, chairman; c. s. Nc Cain, 1904 business manager, and Buell Hollister 1905, stage manager.
 All those who wish to join the club are requested to send their names to c. L. Lawrence, 1905, or leave them at the French club room Is Berkeley Hall. The membership is open to all members of the university. The first meeting is to be held Monday night, October 5, at Traegeg's.

ARMY OF RODENTS.
County in Michigan Said to Have Been
 Invaded by i've Thousand.

County in Michigan Said to Have Been
 Invaded by i've Thousand.
 From Calhoun county, Michigan, there comes to the Smithsonian Institu- ton sensational story of the invasion of that county by an army Of five thou sand rats in one pack. A big gray rat is said to he leading the vast array of rodents. Michigan papers devote con siderable space to the peculiar occur renee. and some Battle Creek citizens who have become interested in the lni- grafton have written to the Sm1thsonl- an Institution for an explanation, II possible The story of the rat raid as told in Michigan papers is that about twelve days ago about a hundred large rats were crossing < highway three
 miles east of Texansha village Calhoun county. They are said to have been un- der the leadership of a large gray rat of venerable and dignified aspect, and this leader seemed to have some definite object in view, for he Marshalled his forces in d most authoritative manner.
 A few days afterward a farmer in Clar-
 endon township. in the same county, was aroused about eight o'clock in the morning by a squealing noise of great magnitude, such as might be made by 9
 score of filters of young pigs. As the sound continued to grow in. volume the | farmer arose, hastily put on his clothes and went out doors. The air seemed filled with the strange sounds and the man climbed his windmill to see dark wave rolling across a field toward his barn, 1t is said, and as 1t approached nearer be could see 1t was composed of
 hundreds of rats, squealing loudly as they ran. Into the barnyard they came I halting in front of the barn. Then g | large gray rat seemed to select about
 twenty husky rats from the bunch and | led them into the building. When they
 emerged ten minutes later they were accompanied by about one hundred o' | the Clarendon mans rats. They took their places in the ranks and the pro.
 cession moved on again across ths fields. When last seen the horde is sait
 to have been crossing the highway eas of the village of Tekonsha. It is claimed traveller had to wait nearly five minutes for them to cross the road and he estimated their number to bt
 not less than five thousand. They were
 still under the leadership of a big gray fellow who appeared to be walking del egate in the most extensive strike in thu history of Rodentdom.- m.--W Washingtor

CALIFORNIA, PAST AND PRESENT,
 With the change in the nature of it's civilization change comes over the story of the state, but it remains as in teresting as ever. In place of the old re- cords of adventures, missionaries and lordly rancheros we have now the story of gold hunters, miners, merchants, rail- road builders, founders of schools, churches and universities-men of every class and grade of the pioneer type. The story of the work of those men and of their sons constitutes the worlds greatest historic romance of modern times. In no other part of the world among anything like so limited popu- lation, has there been done so much the past fifty years to advance human welfare. We have carried the indus tries of mining and of horticulture to a perfection unknown elsewhere. Our ship-builders have established them selves among the foremost of the age In the application of electric energy tc the need of industry, not only in cities but in rural districts, we lead the van of progress, and in many another department of industry we hold rank among the foremost.
 Nor have the achievements of the Californians been confined to the attain. ment of material good. We have al- ready furnished many brilliant name to the lists of scientists, poets, painters singers, sculptors, musicians ano orators whom the world -honors. Ir short, the profuse fertility of the state has been almost as notable in the dom. ain of the intellect as in that of the production of fruits and of gold.-Sar Francisco Call.

The members of the club brought several excellent specimens of their angling powers home with them. The two fin- est were exhibited at the Quinnipiack club last night and much admired by all who saw them. They were beautiful speckled trout weighing four and three-quarter pounds and five and one quarter pounds respectively. The above company all returned to New Haven yesterday with the exception of MT. Hooper, late of the Winchester com pany, who will return home to-day.
