1.-The cause OF the death of so many trees in
Central Park is due, think said Samuel Par
sons jr. the landscape architect of the Depart
ment OF Parks, a few days ago, to lack of fer
tility of soil. They have suffered. too from the
lack of attention which they would receive IL
they were on some private place. The trees
certainly going too fast.
Why are the dead trees not removed? Pure
bad maintenance, that accounts for the number.
There is no doubt that there are lots OF dead
trees standing in the park.
The Park Department now has charge of all
the trees in the city. 1t cannot watch all of
them. especially those In the streets. There
should be n forester. The city should he di-
vided into districts and men under his authority
appointed to look out for the trees in the differ
ent districts.
The public does a great deal of damage In
the parks. There lots of lilacs In the lower
end OF Central Park. In the spring. when they
are in bloom. they are all broken down to the
height of man. You might not believe it. but
persons driving through the park in handsome
carriages will add 10 the damage done by the
poorer and less favored people. 1 have seen
persons get out OF carriages. break down a whole
bush, and then drive away with their plumber.
Privet is the kind of shrub to stand the tough
est treatment. We set out hedge of IT in
Seward Park 1t protected by high fences.
Seward Park is appreciated by those who live
around 1t, perhaps much as any park in the
city. Yet that privet looks like a of bean
poles"
1t must be that there is considerable num-
ber OF persons anxious TO learn about the trees
in Central Park, for Louis Harmon Peet, who

the Central Park trees.

States ports and yellow fever areas make quick
trims do not remain long in port. are in good
sanitary condition and offer no breeding place
for the mosquito 1t must also be considered
that in town where yellow fever Is prevalent
the number of infected insects is comparatively
small. Although mosquitoes are commonly
found on vessels lying at the DOCK the testi-
roony, of Messengers and crew conclusively shows
that after the departure of the vessei they rap
idly disappear and but few are found after 'ne
first or second day.
It has also been asked why, II the yeho"
fever mosquito does not propagate in this part
of the country, did numerous outbreaks OF tlie
disease occur in New-York City between 1895
and 1890? I believe that it is explained IN the
following wav: The small wooden trading yes
sells of one hundred years ago, which Piled be-
tween the United States and foreign ports were
usually a number Of weeks in securing a Iuil
cargo which at Cuban and Central American
norris included material which decomposed read
ilv and became offensive; with the water Whch
reached the hold of the vessel through leaks or
rain many breeding and feeding places 1or the
,,o,nn,+o we're furnished At the time referred
n q portion of the native population llVeo along
the shore and in close proximity to the vessels
which we're taking cargo for foreign pofts'
therefore there was a close affiliation between
the members of the crews of these vessels and
the natives and every reason why the noh-ll-
fected and infected mosquitoes should reach the
vessel and why they should breed there anu
transmit the disease to those on board
During the summer of 1l9S yellow fever ap-
peared in New-York, ct the foot OF Peek snip.
The statement is clear as to the manner III
which it oc ,urred. A bark laden with an or
fensive cargo arrived at Peck Slip from
Cuban port with history of cases of a mails-
mont fever Portions of the cargo which were
offensive were evidently thrown overheard at
this Mace Within a few days afterward cases
of yellow fever appeared.

a CURIOUS FACT.

The question is frequently asked, Why. If yell
low fever is contracted through the medium of
the mosquito. is there not danger Of this dis
ease being transmitted when a case occurs on a
vessel in transit from an infected port?
Theoretically this should occur; practically.
however, it does not. except in rare instances
So far as my experience is concerned. have
never known of a case of yellow fever that was
contracted on shipboard e.. transmitted from
one to another in transit. Vessels are daily COM
ing to this port from yellow fever infected areas
but the history of every of this disease thus
far at the New York quarantine station shows
that the infection was received at the port or
departure. and not on the vessel.
Throughout the period that yellow fever was
prevalent in Cuba, cases of this disease were
frequently removed from vessels arriving from
Havana and other Cuban ports. but in every in
stance the beginning of the disease was shown
10 be within period OF five days from the time
of departure from the infected area Five days
is now regarded as the maximum period OF in
cubation of yellow fever.
An exceedingly significant fact lies in the
history OF vessels coming from South American
ports which are at least three weeks in transit
to New-York. While the best evidence has fire.
quently been presented by the ships log and
by the statements Of the captains and surgeons
Of these vessels that within five days after ieaV-
Ing port or more or the nlelnpefs VI lno
crew or passengers became i'll and died Of. or
recovered from, yellow fever, In no instance
has there been reasonable proof that secondary
cases Of the disease occurred In transit
Furthermore no cases OF yellow fever have
been found on vessels arriving at New-York
from these ports I well aware that in
stances have been cited by trustworthy authorf-
ties where secondary cases were believed to
have occurred on shipboard in transit, but this
condition has never come under my observation.
I feel sure that experienced and practical sani-
tarians will at least agree that the transmission
Of Infection on shipbosrd is exceedingly rare
Many of the cases in former years, which were
reported as having been infected with yellow
fever on shipboard, were undoubtedly i'll with
n1alarial fever. Expert diagnosticians agree
that In some instances it is practically impossi-
bic TO decide between these diseases without
en- examination Of the blood This aid in di-
agnosis has only been at our command for the
last fifteen or twenty years. In 1880 DR.. Law
eran a French army surgeon. on duty in Al
siers discovered the organism which causes
rnalariaI fever. His method of detection was
subsequently improved upon and simpiifed. and
the examination OF the blood Of patients be-
Meved to be suffering from yellow fever or
nalarial fever, is now a part of the regular ex-
animation for the detection Of these diseases.
Since the addition of this method 10 the or
oinary examination, the reports of secondary
cases OF yellow fever occurring shipboard in
transit have been notably diminished.
New-York tribune., 1905-06-25
THE MOQUITO'S HABIT.

Why yellow fever is rarely transmitted on
shpboard after the vessel has departed from an
infected port is probably due 10 a number of
reasons. The fact that twelve days must elapse
between the Infection of the mosquito and the
time that x can transmit the disease will TO a
certain extent furnish protection TO those on
shiphoard particularly If the voyage is less
than twelve days. However, this would not in
itself furnish full protection for this period as
Il would be possible for infected mosquitoes
from shore TO reach the vessel before its de-
parture
In order to understand why there is not much
danger from this source TO those in transit II
VIII be necessary 20 know something of the
habits Of the yellow fever mosquito. Mosquitoes

THE PLAGUE UNDER CONTROL.

The knowledge which we now possess regard
ing the means by which yellow fever is propa-
gated and the methods which are employed in
preventing the extension of the disease COM
bined with the enforcement of modern SANTA
tion both on land and on shpboard, has prac-
tically placed in control of yellow fever, and
we are justified in believing that the serious
outbreaks which from time to time have oc-
Cured in the South things of the past. 1t
is quite certain that this part of the country has
nothing to fear from this disease.
II may be of interest to add that dIslnfection
so far as being means of preventing the extern
sion of yellow fever is now regarded as unnec-
essary and has been practically discontinued
This removes a serious obstacle and expense to
commerce, as well great annoyance 10
people coming from yellow fever infected
districts.
