Every obstacle is placed in the way Of
the disinfection of stricken areas, and in
oculation is so bitterly opposed both by
reason of caste prejudice and religious re-
strictions that any attempt to enforce it
would be followed by the gravest conse-
quences.
In the larger of the afflicted communities
some Roadway is being made in the direc-
ton of inducing the people to temporarily
abandon their villages when shelter can
be found for them elsewhere
AS before, the greatest mortality is
among women. This is attributed to the
fact that they spend more time in their
houses than the men. and rarely wear
shoes. thus rendering themselves especial
ly liable to the risk Of contagion from the
dead and dying rats. In the towns the
crusade against rats is being conducted
with great vigor. and whenever funds per-
init reward of a few pies-there are
twelve pies to an anna. which Is equivalent
to penny-is given for every rat slauGh-

SMALLPOX IN INDIA.
Frightful Loss Of Life in Epidemic

BOMBAY, April S.--A terrible epidemic
of smallpox, in addition to the plague, is
raging here. The infection hospitals are
crowded with cases. but the number Of
doctors and nurses is wholly inadequate to

Tins are perforce left unattended.

intendent of the station. it has been very
successful, many millions of the young fish
being Matched in each season.
After the fish are Matched and are large
enough to bear transportation they are
placed in Cargo cans filled with water and
sent to this city, either on the launches of
the commission by steamer The hand
ling of the young fish requires constant care
and men with big clippers are kept going
from one can to another dipping up the
water and pouring it back again, in order
to keep it aeracted. Were this neglected,
even on the short run of the steamer to
this city, all the fish would die and the work
of the commission would be in vain.
When the steamer reaches this city big
wagons are in waiting and the fish are hur-
ried to the big central station of the fish
commission in this city. where the fish are
put in tanks and cared for until ready to
be shipped over the country. For this pur-
pose the commission has several specially
equipped cars and on them delicate fish

COLLECTING FISH EGGS
GREATEST YEAR IN HISTORY OF
NATIONAL INDUSTRY.

According to Commissioner Bowers of the
United States fish commission. the present
fiscal year, which will end June 80 next,
will be the record year for the collection Oh
eggs of fishes and other inhabitants of the
rivers and seas. Up to April 1 of this
year the commission has collected 1,659,-
255, 1856 eggs of all kinds, as against $751;
COS, $50 eggs collected up to April i last
year.
Commissioner Bowers expects that this
proportion of increase in the collection OF
eggs will be kept up through the remaining
months of the current fiscal year, and the
total number of eggs that will have been
collected by July / will be considerably
more than two billions.
The propagatng station of the commits
sion at Bryan'S Point, on the Potomac,
about fourteen miles below this city, is
quite busy place just now, and will con-
tinue to be SO until the fishing season on
the Potomac ends. For three or four weeks
past the station has been employed in the
taking and Matching of the spawn of yell
low perch, and many millions of the hardy
fish have been Matched by artificial means
and being sent all over the country to
stock barren streams.
The taking of the spawn of the shad will
be started as soon as the fish make their
appearance in any number in the near
by waters of the Potomac and tributaries,
and the Matching of the eggs will be start
ed. Power launches are employed to visit
the different fishing nets and take the re-
suit of twelve hours catch.
The process of taking the eggs from the
fish is a most interesting one. AS soon as
they are removed they are taken to the sta
ton and placed in shallow tanks of running
water a a temperature as near as possible
to that under which the eggs are Matched
under natural conditions. The fishermen
get good price for the eggs, and the shad
from which the roe has been taken is sold
in the markets for food. Many of the Po-
tomac fishermen devote their entire time
to catching shad for the spawn and make,

PRESERVATION OF THE TIMBER

The question of the preservation
of the timber of the country, the
Macon Telegraph declares, acquires
increasing interest and all kinds
of experiments are tried to see if
substitutes for wood may not be
found.
On some of the eastern roads
experiments are conducted to attest
the utility of steel for ties. If these
should prove successful one great
cause of forest destruction would
be eliminated. But other expert
ments are made in the picking of
wood and it has been found that,
when thus treated, the life of the
tie is extended in many instances
to ten years. When soft woods are
subjected to the process they are
made available, thus reducing the
necessity for the utilization of SO
much hard wood.
Anything that will lengthen the
life of wood or replace it will be
welcomed by all who would stay
the rapid demolition of the forest.
Continuing upon the subject OF
timber preservation the Telegraph
thinks it is regrettable that the
picking process was not generally
employed from the beginning OF
railroad construction, as the saw
ing would have been enormous.
But there is reason for the belief
that even if this had been done
other uses would have been found
and that the hewing down Of the
forests would have gone on never
theless. There is now hardly a
tree in the woods that does not
have special commercial value,
whereas only a few years ago the
varieties employed were compare
lively few, but conditions are quite
different today.
