Malta Fever.

The many Americans who visit the eoun-
tries of the Mediterranean will be inter-
ested in the results of a scientific investi-
cation of the so-called Malta fever preva-
lent In the countries adjoining the Medlter-
ranean sea-
The Royal Society of England recently
sent a commission of scientists to countries
bordering the Mediterranean sea to inves-
tigate the causes of the so-called Malta
fever. They have reported that the dis
ease is probably transmitted to human be-
ings by domestic animals. especially by
goats. The examination of the blood Of
goats showed plain reaction with refer
ence to Malta fever, and a close examine
ton Of eight different fiocks of goats had
the result to demonstrate that about one
half of the number showed this suspicious
condition. 1t was even found that some
apparently healthy goats secreted the ba-
GILL of the Malta fever In their milk In
large quantities. It Is therefore very prob
able that the consumption of goat milk
transmits the disease to human beings.
This conclusion is supported by the fact
that at Gibraltar, where Malta fever is
very common, the milk consumed Is almost
exclusively goat milk.

BIRDS DISAPPEARING
Some Have Migrated to the South,
Others Are in Winter Quarters,
All Are Silent.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In Henry street. on Brooklyn Heights, a
few days ago. a small mob Of English spar
rows was seen chasing frightened bird
from one building to another. The fleeing
bird proved to be a brown thTasher.
The poor thing while migrating at night
had probably become daxed by the city's
lights and had dropped down into the streets
to await daylight. Then. chased by the
sparrows It had become too frightened to
rise over the tops Of the buildings and was
futtering against the sides Of the houses,
alighting on bay-window or catching on
an opened blind, where 1t would remain.
painting for breath, until its tormentors
compelled It to move on.
During the bird migrations 1t is not I'M
common to find shy and often rare deni-

Lost Birds.
Within the past two years a bird lover
who lives In Brooklyn within FIVE minutes
walk of Brooklyn bridge has seen two her

junco, a bluejay and a chewink in the
yards upon which his window opens.

These are examples of how the feathered
wanderers lose their way while misra ting.
So IL on your way to business you should

Maiden Names in Other Lands.

From the London Chronicle.
When woman is married in this country
her maiden name is seldom mentioned
Many people to whom she is very well
known have never heard 1t. In France on
the contrary, there are constant reminders
of the earlier dignity. In Belgium mar
riage does not extinguish 1t, for many mar
ried women often combine the old name
With the new. Moreover. they put the
maiden name last, thus giving 1t the greater
distinction. We can Illustrate this by sup
posing the custom TO prevail In this coun-
try In that case Miss Brown when she
married Mr.. Robinson would have her visit
ing cards printed: Mrs. Robinson Brown"
This double-barreled arrangement does
not give the Belgian wife better social
status than the English wife's, but it Is very
soothing to feminine pride.

FLOATING ISLANDS.
Vast Accumulation of Flotsam in the
Paths Of Pacific Navigation.
From the Seattle Post-Inteilisencer.


Three or perhaps four floating Islands are
knocking about In Queen Charlotte sound
to the great menace of navigation. and IL
is likely that a government steamer VIII
be sent north to destroy them before some
catastrophe results
The great masses of fiotsam are lying In
the direct path of navigation on the north
ern coast and should any uniucky snip en-
counter one of them after dark the loss OF
life might be enormous, as 1t is almost Ger
tain that any steamer running into one Of
these islands at full speed would founder
Immediately Captain, Johnson of the coast
ing steamer Capiiano. brought news of the
boating islands to Vancouver today.

of fiotsam last Thursday afternoon said

SECRET TELEPHONE NUMBERS

by Wire.

From the New York Sun
Yes, they call me Sapphira," cheerfullv
admitted the operator of the telenhope
switchboard in a large business house
It's because I'm such an accomplished liar
you know.
But. then, that is one of the things I'm
paid FOR: SO 1t really isn't my fault and
don't let 1t worry me. Perhaps the most
frequent lie have to tell is when am ask

OF course he has; he'd be In the fnsane

everybody to know it. The telephone was

That lot of them have had to do this
NOW. when a mans private telephone
rings he knows 1t really is a personal call
as only a few people have his number II
Is direct call from central and does not

and. or course. every central Is charged
with keeping these private telephone num-
bers strictly confidential. People try lots
of different ways to worm this Information
oNt of us. but they don't succeed"
1T saves my time wonderfuIly-thIs hav-

breakdown last year.

telephone supposed by the uninitiated to
be the only one by which L can be reached
personally. Nine times out of ten the cues

Occasionally. of course. have to speak to
the person myself.
But there was time few years ago
when / could not dictate so much as a note
to my stenographer without being inter-

knell to many a finely phrased letter As

while, of course / did not pretend to
speak to every person who called for me

a woman who has many social duties, land

for this strange island.
There II stood. thirty feet high above

Its length was 500 yards and subsequently

On nearing Il I found that IL was afioat and

standing upright as sentinels above the
mass OF timber. Had 1 gone In there In
the night might have struck the floating
island. 1 have notified Captain Gaudin OF
the island and the government will prob
ably take immediate action to destroy il.
From the japanese at Smith Inlet
learned that three islands of about the
same size have been floating around there
for ten days. 1t appears from the infor-
nation l was able to get from the Japa-
