SPLENDID System BY Which Death

for all around them the cholera and
the plague are raging, and the least let
up on their part would mean that the
bubonic plague, or the cholera, or
both, would probably become epidemic
in Japan, and that would mean its pos
sible spread to the unaffected islands
of the Pacific, Australia, the Hawaiian
islands, and possibly the American
mainland.
How do DR.. Doty, Surgeon General
Wyman Of the United States marine
hospital service, the army and navy
doctors and the quarantine officers of
the other great American seaports
keep track of the worlds health? And
they do keep track of it, and it is this
vigilance in prying into what's the
matter with our foreign neighbors that
has made this country the healthiest
and the best protected, from a stand
point of sanitation, on the face of this
earth. Now take this big globe that
is covered with tacks, and look at
Port Said at the entrance of the Suez
canal. There is a telltale tack stuck
near that place, and that tack means
that somebody or some people out
there have the bubonic plague, and
that every ship that stops at that port
and then comes to America will have
to stand the closest of inspections to
show that nobody on board, or any
thing in her cargo, conceals the germ
that is responsible for the most hor-
rible disease, with the exception of
leprosy, the world has ever known.

ALL ON BOARD WELL.

The examination of the Korea
showed that everybody on board was
well, and that the water they had
drunk and the food they had eaten
was not infected with the cholera
germs, for the water and the food and
the clothing are inspected just as
closely as are the passengers and
crew, for the admission Of a single
germ might mean the infection of New
York. Russian immigrants also come
to New York in hordes on board the
great German, the Scandinavian, the
French, the British, and the other
lines whose European terminals are
north of the Mediterranean. For every
Russian passenger these ships carry
they bring certificate from the
health authorities of the home port
that shows that each of those passen-
gers has been watched for five days in
order to make certain whether it is
dangerous for the health of New York
and the United States to allow him to
sail. If he stands the test they let
him go, but if his condition is sus-
plc1ous he is sent to hospital, and
eventually returned to the land of the
car.
This is where the Germans get into
the game, and the way they do their
work makes them deserving of the
gratitude Of the entire civilized world,
for as everybody knows, Germany is
the great gate through which the fam
ished millions of the car escape to
other lands where liberty is universal
and the secret police are not the most
important adjuncts of governments.
That these people from an empire
where cholera and the plague are
known to exist have never as yet
spread the disease in the domain of
the kaiser is due, the American au-
thorities say, to the vigilance, the skill
and the magnificent training of the
men who are on duty in that country.

ORIGINATED IN INDIA,

Now, how did this cholera get into
the dominions of the car? DR.. Doty
knows. He knows that it originated
in India, and for more than a year
that globe in his Office has told every
week the story of it's slow but sure adj
vance on the capital of the Russian
empire. The American health officers
watched the advance of the disease
like hawks. They knew the Russian
system of combating it was not the
best, and they feared all along that it
was going to reach st. Petersburg and
maybe Libau, Russia's one great At
lantic port. So far Libau has escaped,
But DR.. Doty and his assistants are
watching that city, and they know how
everybody in that city is getting along,
so far as their health is concerned.
The other day the Korea, one of the
few transatlantic lines that fly the
Russian flag, steamed into New York
immigrants on board, and what hap
pened to that ship during the "a hours
it took to examine her passengers,
crew and cargo indicates how splen-
didly thorough is the system that
stands guard for the health of the
American people. on the Staten island
side of the Narrows. Three different
examinations every man and woman
and child, and all the crew, from skip
per to stoker, had to submit to. The
slightest rise in temperature above
the normal meant that the unfortunate
was due for medical third degree,
that, when over, proved beyond all
doubt whether or not he was free
from the scourge.

Bees Swarm, Kill Horse.

an army of irate bees. The bees put
Farmer Gould to rout, and then at

the singing and his exertions.
Gould returned and was able to load
his wagon with nearly 200 pounds of
honey, the proceeds of which were
S25, and paid for new horse. The
bees had entered at the side of the
road and had stored honey there for
nearly decade.

SOURCES OF PLAGUE.

China and India are, of course, the
countries where the modern sani-
tarians will have to fight the greatest
of all battles in behalf of humanity.
India has been stricken for centuries,
and the outlook that she will ever be
entirely free of these scourges is at
the present time very dim one. A
look at the quarantine globe shows
how plainly the origin of these great
dian empire. The Indians are Moham-
medans, and DR.. Doty and his COL
leagues in the fight for health and
cleanliness say that this region to a
great extent is responsible for the
spread of these diseases. The pill
grimages to Mecca, the exalted" the
holy of holes of the Mohammedans,
are the one great cause, and the sta
tistics prove it, Fhe Mohemmedans,
as all the world knows, make these pill
grimages to THE Mother of Cities"
in great unclean hordes, sleeping on
decks of dirty ships, drinking water
that has never been pure, and eating
food in which the germ of cholera and
the plague are sometimes known to
exist. These ships touch at ports, and
the pilgrims come in contact with peo-
pie of other countries. The result is
the spread of cholera and the plague,
and to-day many sanitarians declare
that the presence of the cholera in
Russia can be directly traced to these
religious hordes who go to Mecca to
worship at the shrine of their faith.
