Yellow Fever Epidemic.

yellow fever is described by the doe
tors as a specific infectious disease
contracted by exposure to infected lo-
calities and is characterized by single
febrile paroxysm of short duration and
by tendency to passive hemorrhages
from mucous surfaces, especially from
the stomach, producing black yomit.'"
The disease is unknown in Asia, is
only occasionally seen in southern
Spain and Portugal. and on the west
coast of Africa. The American trop-
les and sub-tropics are the stamping
ground of the malady. Inhabitants OF
this country north of the Gulf states
need have little fear OF yellow fever, al
though small epidemics have occurred
in Atlantic seaboard cities as far north
as Boston and in the Mississippi val
ley up to st. Louis.
The most malignant forms of the dis
ease were found in Cuba until the
American occupation conquered the
pestilence there.
The great yellow fever epidemics in
the United States were in 1878. 1871
1898, 1902, 1858. 1867. 1878 and 1873.
The last was the most extended. 1t in
vaded 1872 towns and wiped out 1884
human lives out of total number OF
cases exceeding $4,000.

When Louis Napoleon seated him
self, he rememhc-ed barricades and
their power, and determined that he
would have none of them. He made
wide boulevards, which cannon could
sweep with grapeshot, macadamized
the roads and did all that he could
think of to make the barricading OF
the streets impossible. But the days
of the commune showed that the old
art was by no means gone, nor the
possibilities exhausted.
London also has had its barricades.
On the occasion of the funeral OF
Queen Caroline, in 1921, the crowd
barricaded the route by which the
body was to have been smuggled out
of the capital.
