In all probability high grade seed
corn Is scarcer in Ohio this season than
for many years. The principal cause
for this is of course the cold, wet
growing season of last year, together
with the cool, cloudy fall Had we
had different October and Novem-
Der, even corn, which did mature, or
came close to maturity, would now be
in very different seed condition. As
matters stand great care must needs
be exercised or 1908 will find Ohio

MARINE HOSPITAL SURGEON
SAYS RATS HAVE LEPROSY

! well, just as it is now admitted flies do
in cases of typhoid fever.
DR.. Wherry used the earcasses of
| leper rats to inoeulate flies. The ear
easses were. exposed 10 flies in glass
jars. After many flies had collected
the jar was screened. After feeding
upon the carcasses the flies soon began
to deposit specks upon the sides of the
jars. Examination in almost every in
stance showed the presence of the ba,
eilli of rat leprosy. The surgeon found
that the flies took up immense numbers
of the bacili from the carcasses. When
fed upon Hyers and other organs of well
rats no bacilli were found.
Tests With Human Lepers.
DR.. Wherry continued his important
Investigations with human lepers. At
the Alameda county infrmary he cap
tured two flies from the liberated Ror.
tion of the face of an advanced leper.
Within an hour after the flies had been
placed in walls the specks deposited by
them showed bacilh of the disease the
same as in the case of the rats. For
many hours afterward the specks con
tanned lepra-like bacilli. The surgeon
was even able to count the number of
bacilh in one speek, using the approved
methods for that purpose. In one speck
there were 1850 bacilli. Experiments
upon guinea pigs with the bacilH failed
to transmit the disease to these animals
The conclusions of DR.. Wherry are
that there is no certain evidence that
rat leprosy and the human disease are
the same, although it is now well es-
tablished that the plague is transmitted
almost wholly to human beings from
rats coming in contact with food or
clothing. The taking up of the para
sites by the fly does not necessarily
mean that the fly also can carry the
disease, but the facts are given for
what they are worth. Tt was discover.
ed at least that the parasites do not
in flies and that in forty-e;ght
hours the insects are clear of the bacilli. |

OF EARLY CAMPAIGNS

| st. Louis G1obe-Democrat. - The
humor of the present political campaign
has its counterpart in earlier campaigns
in Missouri. Political contests, how
ever bitter, have also their humorous
side. No more fercely contested cam
paign has been waged in Missouri than
that between the late Major James s.
Rollins and General John B.. Hender-
SON for Congress in 1860. Both were
leaders of acknowledged craftsmanship
and eloquence, tact and courage, and
large crowds of enthusiastic and admir-
ing friends heard their speeches and
applauded them. The anti-slayery agi-
tation was rapidly reaching climax,
and the institution of slavery-its his
tory, it's constitutional guarantees, its
influences upon the destiny of Missouri
and the measures and parties most like
ly to secure it against Interference
were topics of universal and angry de-
bate
Each candidate charged the other
with being unsound on the slavery
question, with having Freesoil If not
abolition sympathies and therefore I'M
worthy of support. The district in
which the campaign was conducted was
largely pro-slavery, except in two ccun-
ties-St. Charles and Warren, where
there was a larger German, or FreesoiI,
element, Republican in sentiment, whose
support was essential to the success of
one or the other of the candidates.
Therefore, the effort of both candidates
seemed to be to eonciliate and receive
this independent or Freesoil vote, resid-
ing mainly in Warren and st. Charles
Counties. The effort was extremely
dangerous, however, as both of them
yell knew, for. either of them to go
too far in the work of Cancellation. lest
they might be seriously prejudiced in
the minds of the voters in other parts
of the district.
Major Rollins and General Henderson
had appointments TO speak in the vii
lage of Marthasvilla. Henderson was
too i'll to be present. Major Rollins
spoke with his accustomed eloquenee.
Among the audience was Frederick
Muench, the leader of the German Free
sellers. At the close of Major Rollins g
address Mr.. Mueneh discussed the polit
zeal situation. Mr. Muench frankly
complimented Major Rollins on his
speech, telling him he thought the Ger
mans could safely trust him as their
Congressman. This was the first meet
ing between the two and exactly what
passed is not known. Both are now
dead. A few days after the meeting
Mr.. Muench, without Rollins knowing
anything of his Intentions to do so,
wrote letter to a German Freesoil pa
per at Hannibal, in which he expressed
son, saying he believed the Germans
might safely support him, and that he
had met him and found him very in
teresting and persuasive gentleman.
The letter to the Hannibal paper was
translated into English, and for Hen
derson's benefit republished in a st.
Louis paper which advocated his cleo
ton, and on the morning of their joint
discussion at Sturgeon reached there
short time before the hour of speaking.
Rollins did not know it had appeared
in print, but Henderson got hold of a

Washington Star.-The highly impor-
tant discovery has been made by Viii
liam B. Wherry, surgeon of the marine
hospital service, that rats have leprosy
and that the ordinary fly, after feast
ing upon deed leprous rat, will carry
and deposit bacilli of the disease. The
conclusions reached are not definite that
the fly transmits the bacilli of rat lep-
rosy TO human beings, but the surgeon
is of the opinion that it is quite pos
sible for the fly to transmit human lep.
rosy from diseased to a non-diseased
person.
DR.. Wherry, in an important report
that has not yet been made public,
quotes noted authorities in expressions
of well-fOunded belief that Ieprosy is
frequently acquired through flies. The
insects gather upon the ulcers of lepers
ami later bite well persons. In one
instance a man who had been bitten by
a fly in leper settlement noticed the
first outbreak of the disease at the place
where the fly had bitten him. The in
equations of the fly are small, but when
made under favorable circumstances
carry leprous bacilli with them, il is
believed.

Flies Deposit Bacilli.

The very careful examinations made
by DR.. Wherry at various places in
California seem to confirm the theory
that the fly, after coming in contact
with leprosy, viii deposit the baeilli of,
that disease for several days afterward.
In the last few months Dr. Wherry ex-
amined 1851 rats at Oakland, Cal, for
leprosy, and found twenty infested with
the disease, some of them in the ad-
vanced stages. One leper rat was found
in the streets of Oakland
blind and defenseless from the disease.
The disease among rats is believed to
be transmitted from one to the other by
the bacilli lying just beneath the skin.
