Since it became known that the bu-
bonic plague was spread by rats, the
question of means of destroying them
has assumed greater Importance. The
discovery of perfect rat destroyer
would be of vast benefit to the pub
lie health, says the New York Sun.
NJ. J. Rosenau, director of the hy-
gienic laboratory of the United
States marine hospital service, has
recently Investigated new method
for destroying rats by means of cul-
lures of a certain bacillus. This
method was developed by j. Danyz.
The virus which he obtained, while
far from being a certain means of
exterminating rats in a particular
place, may be used as one weapon in
the fight against them.
A culture of bacillus isolated
from a spontaneous epidemic among
harvest mice was selected, and grown
in bouillon to accustom it to an ex-
istence without oxygen. This was ac-
compished by growing the culture in
TASKS as completely filled as possi-
BILE. The TASKS were placed in an
incubator until the culture developed,
and then kept at an ordinary tenn
perature until a deposit formed and
the bouilion became prefectly clear.
From the TASKS the culture was
passed into a collodion sack, which
was kept for from day to day and
half in the abdominal cavity of
rat, then kept anew in ordinary
bouillon and thence again in TASKS.
This series of operations was repeat
ed several times, and at the fourth or
fifth repetition a decided increase in
virulence for mice was noted.
Mice were then replaced in the ex-
periments by young rats month or
six weeks old. Next older rats were
used. Proceeding in this way the cul-
ture was specialized. and Danyz final
ly succeeded in rendering it regular
| ly virulent for gra. rats, black rats
and white rats. whereas it was orig
inally only slightly virulent for the
gray rats and entirely ineffective for
| the others.
DR.. Rosenau fed 115 rats with the
| cultures during a course of various
/
only 46 died The results seem to de-
pend largely upon the amount OF
culture ingested. By starving the
rats for a couple of days and then
giving them all they would eat very
positive result was obtained. Twen-
ty-seven rats so fed all died within a
week. If the rats get only small
amount, however, not only is the eff
feet uncertain, but the survivors be-
come immune and can feed upon the
cultures to their hearts content and
be none the worse for it.
1t would seem that the virus is not
unlike the laying of chemical poi
son, depending as it does upon the
amount ingested- But, while the
chemical poison has the advantage
of not producing an immunity, the
virus has the very decided advantage
of being, so far as IS known, harm
iless for man and domestic animals.

Under the head The Ideal SEN
ator" the following pen picture ap-
peared in the Gazette a few issues
before the convention met that was
to name this Ideal Senator. ~
Editor Corvallis Gazette.
If you will allow me space in
your valuable paper, I will try to
express my Judgment as to what
constitutes an ideal man for state
senator. He should be a man in
the prime of life, 80 if he gives sat i.
isfaction to the people ofhis county
they can send him again. He
should be g cd business man.
capables of acting for ..ths county
In conservative business way. A
man with some idea of law so as to
frame a bill that would stand in
law. He should have the respect
of all political parties for when he
is elected he is the Senator for his
opponents as well as those who
vote for him.
Since the convention met and
named the man painted above, the
Gazette in its irresponsible colum ns
has favored us with a real cut of
this Ideal Senator" together with
a beautiful biographical sketch of
this subject of political idealism.
Now when a man has his picture
painted and hung up for public in
spection We claim the right to ad-
just our glasses and examine the
portrait On both sides. The CORE
spondent thinks a man should
know enough to frame a bill etc.
Now let US consider this point a
few moments. There was large
perceet of the last legislature law
yers with an able lawyer at the
head Of each branch. Was their
work percect? The most profitable
work lawyer has is to overturn or
dodge round the spirit as we'll as
the letter of the law. We find
many of them manifesting utter dis
regard for the law. Look at Henry
E. McGinn the noted lawyer from
Portland on the very day of organ
izing the last legislature and with
in few hours after he had sworn
to support the constitution and
laws of the state, deliberately slap
ping the Kuykendah clerkship law
in the face, law which had been
solemnly enacted at former session
This is only one instance out of a
dozen where laws and articles OF
the constitution are utterly cast
aside by our legislative bodies all
under the leadership of lawyers.
| Then again the very nature OF
their profession renderslawyesr more
susceptible to temptation than
most any class or profession OF
men. All their work is done for
fees and some lawyers will take
most any kind of a case regardless
OF the facts or justice of the matter
al issue if he can make sure of his
fees. We do not mean this is a re-
proach to the profession, for there
are many honorable lawyers, but
this fact renders then easier to reach
with corruption fund than most
any other class of men. Benton
has had some "Ideal Senator's but
they were not lawyers. Give us
more Tom Cauthorns, To1 Carriers,
and John Days and fewer Joe
Simons sMcGinns and Brownells,
and we will have more wholesome
laws and lower taxes.

London, April 21.-The militia
~ expert of the Times in discussing
conditions at the front Gays:
$50 far as we can judge by the
kilograms from the seat of war, the
Russians mean to mske their stand
at the Yalu, and in this case they
will speedily require all of their
skill and resolution to maintain
such a dangerously advanced posi-
tion. The Russin calculation is
tina the japanese transports only
land 4S 900 men each trip and that
a fortnight must intervene before
the second contingent can reach the
scane of action. Therefore should
the Japanese land north of the Liza
otung Gulf General Kouropatkin
has sufficient men to fall upon the
japanese force landed, and over
whelm them before the troopships
can return with reinforcements.
The Russian experts say they have
nothing to fear from the army of
General Kurokai, as it would take
fully a month for him to move his
troops to the support of the other
Japanese army. Therefore, the
Russians aver, General Kouropat-
kin is in a position to crush any at
tempt on the part of the Japanese
to operate in Manchuria.
eff these fac,s are obvious to the
Russians, it would ssem that they
should be equally SO to the Japan
ese general staff, which is directing
the campaign. The appearance Of
the Cossacks at Chong Sen will GER
tainly serve to remind the board
/ that the right fank of General Ku-
rokai's army is still vulnerable, al
though the danger does not seem to
be very formidable. The fact that
nothing has been heard from Gen
eral Mischtchenko and his force of
Cossacks for three weeks may mean
that the latter means to make a
bold dash upon Northern Corea
from the Northeast, and endeavor
to strike in upon the line of com.
munication between Seoul and Ping
Yang and the reported advance Of
the Cossacks upon Chon Sen may
mean just this. If the japanese
have taken the preca ution to run a
chain Of forts and stout block
houses across the northern part of
the Coz can p'ninsula, and have
garrisoned them with tkeir second
line OF troops, these raiders should
do no s,rious injury to the Japan
ese, since the troops on the Yalu
lought by this time to have sifted
their base close up to the river and
thus made themselves independent
of the land line of communication =.
