Other favorites dropped below their first
prices, and there was renewed liquidation

sleep from which there is no waking No
one stricken with the disease has ever re-
covered. 1t has wiped out whole towns
and neighborhOods of the negroes during
the three years of its terrible ravages.
Col. David Bruce. of the British Army
Medical Corps, formerly stationed in Zulu
land. has discovered that the affection is
caused by the bite of a fy-the Tsetse fly
which Livingstone and other African eX-
plorers describe as creating so much havoc
among the horses of exploring expeditions
in the Dark Continent. Until the recent
outbreak of the disease. however. man was
thought to rest secure from the terrible
affection Now the fear has arisen that
the ailment may become general amonr
both the white and native inhabitants OF
Africa. Already the captain of British
vessel has met death from the disease. and
several white residents of Uganda have
been afflicted. with the usual results No
living thing that has been bitten by the
tsetse ffy-saye the immune ox-has ever
recovered.
1t has been found that it is not the
actual bite Of the fly that is poisonous.
but the fly deposits in one animal a mi
crobe-the Trypanosoma-which it has
sucked from the blood of another animal.
This same microbe is found in ordinary
sewer rats of Chicago and New York. but
has hitherto been regarded as harmless
