COMES FROM THE Tlcks.
Alleged Origin of sDotseA Fever Of
the Roekfea

Alleged Origin of Spotted Fever Ol
the Rockies.
Several surgeons of the marine hos
pitaI service claim to have practically
demonstrated as fact that the terri
bic spotted fever OF the Rocky Noun
tains Is caused by the infections Of
ticks, says the Washington Star. The
discovery, II further experiments chow
1t to be positive, is most Important
one, and the marine hospital service is
awaiting results with deep interest
The spotted fever Is especially yiru-
lent in the Montana mountains, al
though 1t Is well known in many other
sections. The victims become fearfully
and wonderfully spotted during the
course of the disease, which is fatal
In large number of Instances
There has been widespread belief
for years that the fever was caused by
the piroplasma carried by ticks, as the
fever always appeared during the tick
season Physicians have disputed this
view, however.
In April last Surgeon General Wy
man Of the marine hospital service de-
tailed DR.. King and DR.. Ricketts, to
conduct a most careful examination.
They have reported that their expert
ments indicate that the tick is at the
bottom Of the disease. In their report
they state that the fatality from the
disease was too great 10 justify expert
ments with human subjects and they
We're compelled to resort to animals
They found that guinea pigs and mon
keys were susceptible to the disease to
direct incubation with the blood Of
fever patients The typically fatal dis
ease was frequently produced In ami
mails in this way.
To test the tick infection theory Dr.
W. W. King procured four ticks-one
male and three females-and sent
them to Washington. The male tick
died in transit. The three ticks that
were left alive were placed upon
guinea pig suffering with spotted
fever. They remained until the animal
lied, two days and a half later. The
ticks showed some enlargement. Nine
lays after removal from the guinea
pig the ticks were placed upon a
healthy guinea pig. One was killed
" the pig, but the Others remained
Until they dropped off In fire days /
Three days after this the guinea
zig began to show symptoms OF fever.

! Though the United States is the

well known, are a nation OF smokers.
The amount of tobacco raised in Egypt
is inconsiderable, and vet Egyptian
c gdTettes are imported inc this coun-
try IN considerable amouats every
year.
The explanation of the natter, as
offered by the American consul in Ath-
ems. is simple. 1t seems that the Greek /
tobacco crop last year was the largest

co is used for Egyptian cigarettes
Why, it is asked. Egyptian? The
answer is that Egyptian cigarettes are
made by Greeks because cigarette pa

IL is government monopoly. Thus the
business has gone over TO Egypt. The
most famous cigarette makers of Egypt
are Greeks.

The Art of Happiness.

The art of happiness consists in be-
ing pleased with little things. People
with great wealth or great power are
seldom happy. The leaders Of the
world, great men or great women,
are seldom satisfied. The society
leader, with millions at her command
and the homage of many men and
women, rarely knows the happiness
that comes unasked to the young wife
or mother in humber circles. The
possession of money decreases the
power of enjoyment. A child gets
more pleasure out of a siXpenny toy
than a millionaire does from a thou
sandpound yacht, Sixpence has great
er value. to the child than thousand
has to the millionaire, The joys of
life belong to the little people-the
quiet men and women who are salts,
fed to live their own lives and make
little mark on the lives of others. 1t
is in the power of the least of us TO
be happy and to make others SO.
