ONLY RATS HAVE
SYDNEY PLAGUE
4 HUNDRED AND SINTY-EIGHT
INFECTED RODENTS FOUND But
FEW HUMAN CASES.

SYDNEY, July 12.-Though the cases
of plague among human beings since
the commencement of the present epi-
demic have been comparatively few,
there is every need for extreme care on
the part Of citizens in killing the rats,
which carry the disease.
The returns complied by the Health
Department show that the infection not
only still continues to spread among the
rats, but it is spreading steadily and
rapidly, and experience has shown that
such state of affairs is invariably the
precursor of an outbreak of the dis
ease among human beings.
The first sign of the plague in rats
was discovered on March l last, and
during that month four of the little an
imals were found to be infected. In the
next month, April, SO infected rats were
found; in May there We're 80, and in
June no fewer than s, while during the
four days of July that have already
passed EIGHT were discovered.
Thus 16S infected rats have been found
to date. The heavy return for June,
however, is somewhat discounted by
the fact that since June "a between fifty
and sixty plague-infected rats have
been discovered i'm the vicinity of
Wharf-street, near the city end Of the
Pyrmont bridge. In fact, since June "a,
no diseased rats have been found in any
other neighbOrhood.
The majority Of the infected rats
have been found in the Darling Harbor
area, also by the wharves where some
of the interstate boats berth. This fact
emphasizes the necessity for the recon-
struction Of the Darling Harbor whar-
YES by solid blocks of concrete, which
would afford no harbourage for rats.

MOSQUITO FIGHTERS STRIKE.

NEW ORLEANS, Ua). July "a

quito chasers along its lines in Louisi-

off the section and construction gangs.
They fight the pest with clubs and
pieces of brush As Sabine pass to-
day, where some large forces are at
work, the mosquito fighters struck for
more money, They were getting $1.75

company refused to meet the demand,
and the man laid down their clubs.

HISTORICAL SWORD
ON THE SHERIDAN
LIEUT.. MILLER, WHILE COVER
NOR OF PARAQUA ISLANDS. CAP
TURED VALUABLE WEAPON.

Probably the most unique and inter-
esting souvenir that has ever come
from the Philippines, is aboard the
transport Sheridan The trophy is a
magnificent sword which belongs to
Lieutenant E. Y. Miller of the Goth In
fantry. The sword is a most gorgeous
weapon. Aside from the artistic value
the sword has historical interest. 1t
was presented to Mohamed Harsen
Narrasid the ruler of the island of Pa
raqua Philippines, by the noted Span
ish General Butcher Weyler. who was
the Captain General of the Spanish
forces in Cuba, just before the declara-
ton of war on Spain.
The sword was presented TO Narrasid
in 1854 when Weyler was governor gem
eral of the Philippines. The weapon
was manufactured at Toledo and the
blade is evidently the finest that the
famous armories of that city could turn
out. The names of the donor and reci-
pient are inscribed on the blade. The
handle of the sword is very massive,
being made of carved ivory reinforced
with heavily gold-plated guard The
scabbard is of steel, with decoration of
gold plate.
The weapon was captured by Lieuten-
ant Miller during an engagement with
the Filipinos of Paraqua. Miller was
the governor of that island and some
adjacent islands. 1t was necessary to
made demonstration against the old
ruler. The sword was evidently too
massive for Narrasid to carry. so he
ropped it on the CORY battlefield

INVENTOR WINS FORTUNE,
A South Dakota inventor Patents a
Simple Device and Is Offered S25,.

By %inventing so simple a thing as a
device by which the contents of a bot
tie cannot be adulterated or the bot
tie used a second time. Krauth H.
Gresham, a South Dakotan, has won
for himself a fortune.
The lucky inventor is a government
employe and is in charge of what Is
known as the Ponca district on the
Rosebud Indian reservation. The in.
vention consists Of a glass disc, made
inside the bottle, having a wire at
tached to the disc so that the two ends
of the wire may be brought up through
the cork, drawing the disc up to the
neck OF the bottle when the cork is in
place.
The ends Of the wire are then twist
ed together in such a manner as to
keep both the cork and disc in place,
and the surplus wire is then cut off.
in order to remove the cork from the
bottle the wire must be broken, when
the disc falls to the bottom Of the bot
tie.
Gresham has been granted patents
in the United States and Canada and
has applied for patents in several for
eign countries. He has received a
bona-fide offer of $25 900 for his rights
in the United States.
