According to circular of warning
received by Dr. S. w. Mcclure, in
charge of the bureau of animal indus
try for the northwest, foot and
mouth" disease has made its appear
ance in the eastern states and the bu-
reau is using every effort to stamp
il out.
The disease is common in England.
Germany. France and South America,
and the United States is the only coun-
try that has been able TO control it,
However 1t is very rare i'm this
country, and there are but two in
stances known where 1t has made its
appearance.
The disease is at present confined
to the states of Pennsylvania, where
there seems to be considerable, Mich
igan and Maryland. and the bureau
has a force of 500 men at work in the
three states examining every animal
for symptoms. The effective plan Of
combat which the bureau uses is simp-
ly to kill every cloven-hoofed animal
on the farm where the disease has
appeared. The animals are appraised
and the government pays two thirds
and the state one-third of their val
ue.
Foot and mouth disease attacks the
hoofs of cloven-fo footed animals. Ul-
GERS appear on the lips. and just
above the hooves of the infected
beasts, and although the death rate
is not large it invariably leaves the,
animal almost valueless. 1t is con-
sidered highly contagious.
Up to the present the appearance
of the disease has always been con-
fined to the east and there are no
cases on record west of the Missisip-
pi river.

that the reason the pavement mas only

to horses arising from the freezing

land. The concrete Is prepared as
near as possible to the place where 1t
Is to be used. 1t Is inclosed in bags
to protect it temporarily from the

vate researches can be carried ont.

dome there is an exceptionally fine
view over the town. the Lake Of lu-
rich and the magnificent panorama Of
the Alps.
The telescope was constructed by
the well-known optical establishment
Of Carl Zeiss Of Jena. after the plans
Of Engineer Meyer. It embodies many
new features which are worthy Of no
tlce. The objective Of the instrument
is 300 millimeters (11l8 inches) IN
diameter and the focal length Is o.4
meters (17.7 feet). 1t has total
weight Of IA tons. and the revolving
part weighs AZ tons. The latter is
very well balanced so as to move with
but little EFFORT. Electricity is used for
operating clockwork of the telescope
and the revolving OF the main dome
For all the large telescopes 1t Is the
general practice to swing the tube
about its middle point This causes
the eyepiece to swing through an In
conveniently long arc when the tube
Is moved to different angles, which Is
necessarily a disadvantage. The pres
ent instrument, on the contrary, Il
supported so as TO turn upon an axis
close to the eyepiece. and in this way
the tube can be made to cover a large
angular distance without moving the
eyepiece to any great extent. The
tube is balanced by means of coun
terweight.
