FIeas and the PLAQUE.

II has long been known that rats are
an important cause Of the spread OF
plague. but more recent researches
seem to indicate that feas serve as an
intermediate link In conveying the dis
ease from rats 10 men. According TO
the observations and conclusions OF
Simond, infection OF plague from one
human being to another takes place.
but in an insignificant number OF
cases compared with those where fieas
carry the infection from rat 10 man.
The recent experiments OF the plague
commission at Bombay have establish
ed the fact that ieas convey the
plague from infected 10 healthy rats.
and II has also been shown that the
species Of hea concerned Is always
found IN plague infected houses. Med
ical science therefore declares war
upon fleas as upon mosquitoes. and the
mystery OF epidemics is proportionally
cleared up. Yet much remains to be
learned.-Youth's Companion.

III IL hard for merchants and manu-

fruit dishes. for example. All Of sud
den about six months ago housekeep-
era all over town began 10 ask for
fruit dishes OF glass or china In yari-
ous shades OF blue. There were only n
few such dishes on the market. The
supply was soon exhausted. and before
another consignment could be secured
our clerks were pestered to death by
importunate women who wanted TO
know why on earth we didn't keep In
stock plenty OF those blue dishes. FL
nally we investigated the source OF
this craze for blue dishes and found
that II originated IN the statement of
French scientists that that color on ac-
count OF certain action OF the rays OF
light helps to keep fruit fresh. Wheth-
