The increase of bears In the West

that bear hunting is not a sport to be
taken up by anybody who is stout

considerable courage to face an on

Bubonic Plaque.

San Francisco is dealing in the righ,
way with the present outbreak Of the
bubonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases Of this terrible disease occurred
in San Francisco, there was, for time
at least, disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed. as has been proven en-
phatically in yellow fever visitations
in the south. that the way to fight dis
ease is to fight it openly, and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon.
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, of the
United States, public health service,
is In charge of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, it is less than has been noted
in epidemics elsewhere, and the sys-
TEN of serum injection is regarded as
OF value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
onset in some measure by the fact
that its spread is slow. 1t is believed
that infection is largely caused by
rats, and that from them it is spread
in many cases by feas, which carry
the germs of the disease. Every effort
is being made to extirpate the plague
bearing vermin. Twelve government
surgeons, - San Francisco physicians,
40 sanitary inspectors, and large
force of laborers are working with sci
entific intelligence and skill to conquer
the black death"

Seven Inches.
Philadelphia, March pa heavy
snowstorm, which seems to have cen

eastern Pennsylvania, has visited this
section. Snow fell continuously for
Is hours to a depth of seven inches
Reports from Atlantic City show that
the fall of snow there was nine inches,
with as great a fall at other coast
points. Throughout Pennsylvania the
storm was almost as severe. At Potts
Vile a fall of eight inches is reported,
and at Lockhaven there was fall
of ten inches. At Wilkesbarre, Scran-
ton, Allentown, Harrisburg and other
points in the eastern end OF the state
a similar fall is recorded, and in many
sections the public roads are closed 10
traffic. The storm was accompanied
by high wind, which caused drifting
and traffic on the railroads, particular
" in the mountainous section, was re-
tarded.
