Kessinsland Grange, near Lowestoft.

Entering a small hall, one is at once
confronted with relics which arouse

which was founded in Norwich for de-

The dinihg-room, like the rest of the

1t was in this room that we had the
pleasure of meeting not only Mrs. Rider

his well-known love for the dumb Gre

and still less work on agriculture OF

merely tossed off, as the spirit moves.
That anything worth doing is worth do

and he is most painttaking worker.
On practical subjects particularly
farming and the agricultural interest,
and his wide experience in these matters
gives particular weight to his opinions.
Though this is not the place to go into

Mr.. Haggard is very far from endorsing
the wild encomiums that in some quar-

unusual state of affairs-a condition
unique in the history of the country
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers Of the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the indignation was
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity of fighting the
spread of yellow fever by making war
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand in the way of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation.
! A light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade of the states militia
and it was announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
howitzers and machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens

terrible form and died martyr to SCI
ence and a true hero.
No other fatality occurred among the
brave men who in the course of the ex-
periments willingly exposed them
selves to the infection of the dreaded
disease.
A camp was especially constructed
for the experiments about four miles
from Havana, christened Camp Lazear
in honor of the dead comrade. The in
mates of the camp were put into most
rigid quarantine and ample time was
allowed to eliminate any possibility OF
the disease being brought from Ha-

The personnel consisted Of three
nurses and nine nonimmunes, all In

physicians.

Imbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces OF
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afloat
in gulf and bay. Violation of the
sacred soil of Louisiana by invasion of
Mississippi soldiers was the cause of
the imbroglio on land Dunbar, a
small town on the Louisiana side of
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the, invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-

meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men OF MISSISSIPPI

antine camps. But the governor OF
Louisiana had hardened his heart

by an animal parasite in the blood, is
transmitted from man to man through
the agency of certain mosquitoes, hat'
been recently accepted by the scientific
world; also, several years before, Dr.
Charles Finlay of Havana had ad-
vanced the theory that mosquito
conveyed the unknown cause of yellow
fever. but did not succeed in demon
strating the truth of his theory.
DR.. H. r. Carter of the marine hos
pital service had written paper show
ing that although the period of incu-
baton was only five days, yet house
to which patient was carried did not
become infected for from Is to 20
days.
To Reeds mind this indicated that
the unknown infective agent has to
undergo a period of incubation OF
from 10 to Is days and probably in the
body of the biting insect.
Up to this time the most generally
accepted theory as to the causation OF
yellow fever wa, that of Sanarelli. who
claimed that the bacillus iceteroies dis
covered by him was the specific agen
of the disease Maj. Reed. in associa'
ton with DR.. Carroll. had. however, al.
ready demonstrated that this bacillu:
was one widely disseminated in the
United States, and bore no such rela
ton to yellow fever.
In June, July and August 1900, thu
commission gave their entire attention
to the meteorological study of thu
blood of yellow fever patients and thu
postmortem examination of the organ
Of those dying of the disease. In 2
cases where the blood was repeated,

New Orleans, LATHE shotgun quar-
antine which has prevailed in the
southern states bordering on the fever
stricken districts of Louisiana has
been one of the exciting and spectacu
lar features of the outbreak of the
ecourge this year. Refugees from New
Orleans and the other Louisiana towns
in which the yellow fever has appeared
have been hemmed in with gatling
guns and muskets in the detention
camps along the coast or near the
state lines of Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama Great railroaA and steam

around half a continent, have been

and all Louisiana are concerned. Pas
senger traffic is paralyzed, and even the
freight traffic is affected.
In the railroad stations just across
the Louisiana line in Mississippi and

all travellers through Louisiana are
placed indiscriminately in the "refu-

der stations" or in so-called camps"
to which they are removed by force.

he allowed to go his way and all that
he gets for his loss Of time and the en-
durance of the horrors of the detention
camp is a health certificate of doubtful
value in the next state he enters.

But at the same time there were two
other men who took the same risks.
Their bravery was no less than his.

One of these other two, DR., Carroll,
sickened with the dreadful disease, but

population showed distinct improve
