disease a dog with nagana was
shipped to England, arriving in London
in 1898. This animal was the starting
point of many experiments which have
shown that with the exception of man
no animal survives an invasion by the
trypanosoma of Bruce.
The big field opened up by these
researches soon yielded harvest of
results In other parts of the world.
In the vast area Of the Gran Chaco,
where the pampas of Argentine, b.
llvla, Paraguay and Brazil meet, the
trypanosoma of Nal de Caderas has
swept tens Of thousands of horses off
the face of the EARTH and in many re-
gions the bandy-legged Gaucho be-
means the loss of his horse, whose place
has been taken by the humble but
immune OK. The trypanosoma of
Dourine is also universally fatal to
horses. -
Until recently man seemed to rest
secure. Only a year ago, however
the captain Of government boat on
| the Gambia sickened, and in his blood
was found g. trypanosoma-with the
usual result. About the same time
| alarming reports had come from
| Uganda of the deadly Congo sleeping
disease of negroes. This extraordi-
| nary condition, known on the wes
coast for a century, had just made
it's appearance in the protectorate
The malady was a mystery, altho three

gained such foothold that the Royal
society sent out an expedition for the
study Of the malady. Inquiry showed
the remarkable fact that the area at
fected was belt not wider than ten
miles and especially on the Busoga
and Kavirondo shores of Lake Vic
toria. In the islands the mortality
had been terrible. A laboratory was
established at Entebbe and study was
begun. The task, however, was diff
cult and seemed no nearer solution
when Colonel Bruce of nagana fame
was dispatched to investigate and elu-
cidate the problem. On his arrival
DR.. Castellani announced the discov-
cry of trypanosoma In the nervous
system of affected negroes, and the
significance was at once perceived by
Colonel Bruce. With his wife, who
had also accompanied him to Zulu
land, he at once began the investiga-
ton of sleeping sickness and within
a few months had solved the prob
lem. The trypanosoma Of Castellani
was found in every case Of the dis
ease: it was not found in people not
suffering from the disease. It was
present in the blood; only blood
sucker could put it there. Gould 1t
be a fly disease like nagana? Ex-
animation soon revealed the fy-a
tsetse fly-difering slightly from the
old tsetse of Zululand. Natives were
instructed to collect the flies, which
soon began to arrive in packets by
the hundred every day. The geo
graphical distribution Of the fly cor
responds absolutely to that Of the dis
ease. The fly is made to bite mon
keys; the monkey contracts the dis
ease and passes into a sleeping state.
The Importance of these researches
can scarcely be overestimated; we
may still be long way off the cure,
but the cause is known. The harm

strange was it's appearance that many
eyes were turned to microscopes, and
a veterinary surgeon in India soon
discovered that it was not always
harmless, as one of it's brethren was
constantly found in the fatal surra
disease of horses in India.
Long after this Colonel David Bruce
of the r. A. M. G. happened to be
stationed in Zululand and was soon
Impressed with the fatality among do
mestic animals Of the nagana or tsetse
fly disease. Already the terrific effects
of the deadly tsetse fly had been de-
scribed in graphic language by L1v-
ingstone, Selous and all the pioneers
of exploration in the dark continent.
To their bitter experience 1t was
known that to take a horse into the
fly country was death. For days the
traveller might push his way thru trop-
zeal forests to emerge at last on an
oasis by a stream. In few minutes
by the kicking Of the horses and the
language of the native drivers, ne
knew he was in fly belt, for before
anything could be done the fly had
Topped down on animal and man and
was making his lunch off living blood.
The deadly brute was the terror Of
man and beast; the latter 1t killed, the
former was checkmated for want Of
transport.
At one time the fly seemed to be
more or less limited to southeast
Africa along the Zambesi, where the
heroic Livingstone was constantly pes
tered by It,. With the opening of the
continent it has, however, been found
in many places along the shores Of
the great lakes, on the west coast, and
even on the borders of the desert
around Lake Chad. The greatest OBJ
stacle to the white mans conquest of
Africa has been the tsetse fly.
In Zululand Colonel Bruce soon
found. contrary to belief, that 1t IS
not the actual bite of the fly that is
poisonous, but that the fly deposits
in one animal a trypanosoma which he
has sucked from the blood of another.
The fly is merely go-between, and
it is the trypanosoma which carries
death to all 1t enters. BY a series
of brilliant and convincing expert
ments Colonel Bruce showed that the
fly caught in the fly country and
brought to a healthy neighborhood

home to London for study.
The negro, when not at work or
eating, is usually in the arms of Nor
pheus even when healthy, but the
keen observer sees something more
than Morpheus in the sleeping dis
ease Of the Congo. The native is
frightened because he has seen his
friend die; he has seen his village
decimated and he now knows that
from the. sleep there is no awakening.
The sleep is at first insidious and is
often put down to laziness, but the
face becomes dull and bloated and the
niger, once happy and without a
care, is soon changed man. He no
longer goes out, but lies sleeping in
his hut and can scarcely be aroused
for his food. He may fall asleep dur
ing his meal, by degrees waste to a
skeleton, and within eight months is
dead man. No case has recovered.

could by its bite infect healty ami
mails, in whose blood the trypanosoma
invariably made it's appearance. The
next question was-where does the fly
get this microbe? For years all ex-
plorers and natives had noted that the
fly was in some way connected with
big game; where the koodoo, impala,
and buffalo fell before the gun of the
hunter the fly and with it the nagana
disappeared. This enigma was solved
by Bruce, who found that the fresh
blood Of the wild beeste and the
koodoo sets up magma in healthy ami

IT WILL be remembered that one of the SEN
sationa elections of last fall was that of Charles
NJ. Leeds, mayor of Stanford, Conn.,, a twenty
one-year- old millionaire and college bred. He
espoused the Labor and Democratic causes
and no doubt was honest in his advocacy, as
he had been an everyday workman to gain
experience. Now, to the surprise of everyone,
Mr.. Leeds has thrown the Democratic party
overheard for these reasons, which should be
thought over seriously by anyone who imag-
ines dreams are realities "When was cleo
ted mayor was heart and sole Democrat
and honestly believed that the best ends for
the city and the State would be attained by
advancing the principles of the Democratic
party. may say that am yet "a Democrat
in theory, but, don't you know, theories don't
run governments. The fact is that / have
found that the best practical results are achieved
by the Republicans. Democratic principles
are, indeed, excellent in the abstract. but this
is not an ideal world. and therefore, we should
not have idealists or dreamers to run it; so l
suppose you could sum up the situation by
