A new rabbit trap is beinA Sed in
Australia with great success, whereby
rabbits may be caught alive IN very
large numbers. The trap itself is
eighteen inches long, twelve inches
high and six inches in width. 1t has a
balanced moving floor and a door at
each end. which opens and closes auto
matically. The weight of a rabbit on
the inverse end of floor closes the
door behind him by which he has en-
tered and opens the door in front lead
ing to the trap yard. so that the rabbit
has no option but to go on, and when
he leaves. the trap goes back to its
former position, thus resetting itself.
The small trap yards are constructed
of double wire netting fences, in the
spaces between which green fodder or
hay is cultivated or provided, and, al
though these foods cannot be reached
by the rabbits, it entices them to enter
through the traps to try and get out
the fodder from the other side Two.
three or more traps may be used in
connection with each trap yard. A
ranchman says that with two Of the
traps set at a small water hole he
caught $50 rabbits in one night.

RHEUMATISM GERM.
New York Doctor Discovers Bacillus
of Painful Disease.

new YORK Doctor Discovers Bacillun
of Painful Disease.
After eighteen years of unavailing
search by scientists all over the world
the germ that causes rheumatic fever.
or acute articular rheumatism, has
been discovered in the Presbyterian
hospital laboratory in New York by
DR.. Lewis Fox Frissell, attending
physician to the Seton hospital.
DR.. Frisseil has described to the
alumni of the Presbyterian hospital
his experiments. He first made an
effort to isolate an organism from the
fluid drawn from the joints Of rheu-
matte patient. This was injected into
the veins of rabbits without result.
Next cultures were taken from the
tonsils of persons suffering from both
tOnsilitis and articular rheumatism.
Failure again.
Finally the experimental selected an
alcoholic woman who was found in a
hospital ward suffering from articular
rheumatism of eleven years standing.
A culture was taken from her tOnSils
Microscopic germs We're found linked
together in chains. A rabbit into which
the germs were injected became lame,
as with rheumatism. The animal was
killed, and the germs taken from it
were injected into ten other rabbits.
All Of these after a time developed
true rheumatic symptoms.
The rheumatic germ thus isolated is
described by DR.. Frissell as looking a
good deal like some other 'diplococci''
or "streptococci' germs. 1t possesses.
however, a special affinity for the
joints.
DR.. Frissell concludes that, while
exposure to wet and damp may bring
on rheumatism, the real cause is a
specific germ. rheumatism he classes
as an infectious disease which occurs
in epidemic form. Pleurisy and rhe1-
matism of the heart, he told the alum
nj, were both probably due to the new
ly discovered germ.

Better Solitude Than Misery.

There is lot of hue and cry recently
about club women, bachelor girls and
working women-in fact, against any
kind Of female who finds an engrOss
ing occupation outside of matrimOny
The idea seems to be that no woman
has a right to remain unmarried. But
do the writer's of these wild TRADES
realize that some women have no right
to be married-that there is a species
Of woman. as there is a species OF
man, foreordained and destined FOX
bachelorhood-andt that when people OF
this sort marry they are doing the
persons they honor with their hand
the most serious and lifelong injury!
There are tempers that are never
meant to trot in double harness. aspira-
tons that household duties never can
satisfy. restless characters that never
could devote their lives to any one
person. no matter how perfect. Now.
isn't 1t better for these individuals TO
remain single in positions where they
will be the most comfortable and the
least harmful?
In medieval times monasteries and
converts engulfed them. Nowadays,
when there is no time for prayerful
contemplation and everything Is at re-
yer heat. the strenuous life claims
them for its own.
But why blame them for not being
