seems to take yearly outing, In very
much the same fashion as do human
beings. Rats are the most migratory
creatures in the world. Whole troops
OF rats leave the towns at the end Of
summer and spend month or two In
the country, apparently in order to en-
JOY the change of food which the
country affords at that time of the
year in the way of fresh fruit and
grain. Before the cold weather sets
in they are back in their old quar-
terS.
Reindeer migrate with the same
regularity as swallows. They move
south when winter sets in, but as
soon as ever the snow begins to melt
they travel steadily north, sometimes
for as much as 1000 miles.
To end a holiday by deliberate sui
eide Is 30 strange phenomenon that
for a long time natuBalists looked
upon the stories of the migration OF
the Jennings as an improbable fic-
ton. Yet the facts are beyond dis
puta. At irregular intervals these rat

Combat Against the Dreaded Southern
scourge Is No Longer the Unequal
Struggle 1t Once Proved to Be-Some

Fortunately the combat against vel
low fever, the most dreaded of summer
visitors, is no longer the unequal strug-

Everett Lawton, but too much that is

Medical men have never left off the
orizing about the cause of yellow fever
since they began to treat 1t. 1t was
believed by many that it was infec-
tious, specific miasm carried In the
air. Others taught that it was con-
ta8ious contracted only by actual CON
tact with substances which had been
contaminated by a fever patient. Aft
er the search for heterogeneous be-
came the fad there were many an
nouncements of the discovery Of the
fever bacillus, but conservative ply
sicians were inclined to be skeDtical.
In the summer of 1900 came the first
inkllng Of the true solution. The
United States government had under
taken to free Havana from its I'M
saVory reputation for unhealthfulness,
and as preliminary Surgeon General
Sternberg (now retred) appointed
board to investigate the yellow fever.
The preliminary observation dis
closed several significant facts. It
was round that nen-immune nurses did
