The way out of the trouble is shown
by a recent scientific discovery in re-
gard to the tick in question.
h tick is a disagreeable bug. If il
did nothing worse than suck the blood
Of cattle, hat would be bad enough
But, incidentally to the sucking pro-
cess, it introduces into the blood Of the
animal a virulent microbe, which
feeds upon the red blood cells, de-
stroying them, and thus producing the
malady known as tick fever or
cattle fever"
Not only does the tick carry cattle
fever" but it is the only agent where
by the malady is spread. If there were
no tick of this particular species, the
disease would not exist. The prospect
OF stamping out the plague lies in the
knowledge which has been gained in
regard to the life history of the insect
To get rid Of the cattle fever" it is
merely necessary to exterminate the
tick.

To End Cattle Fever.
ON killing Ticks Ends {

(From killing Ticks Ends Cattle
Fever" in December Technical
World Magazine.)
A wretched little blood-sucking
tick, only about an eighth Of an inc
long, is costing this country 0,00O,-
900 a year.. What is to be done about
it?
That nothing, or at all events very
little, should e done, as is the case
at presently is quite absurd, inasmuch
as the insect which causes all this mis-
chief might be entirely exterminated
by the adoption Of a few simple meas
ureS.
Why not save the 100000 0 a
year? The answer is that the Fedora
government IS doing it's best, and that
all hat is needed to bring about this
happy result Is the earnest co-opera-
ton of the State in the infested belt

It would stir the whole world. Every
country-England, Germany, France,
Spain, Russia, China and Japan would
be affected and buyers in these coun-
tries would burn up the cables trying
to buy cotton. AS a business propo-
sition what would it cost you?
'Where are your Union ware

you have any pressing obligations go

1t was seized with irresistible force

he could even fire.

He fastened to stop up the
breach as fast as possible.
This state Of things had lasted
upward of an hour, and there
seemed no prspect of a termina-
ton. z
The question ia sortie began
now to be seriously discussed.
There was little chance of success,
rs the bears could not be attacked
separately, but Hatteras and his
companions had grown impatient.
Also they were ashamed Of being
kept in prison by beasts.
He took Johnson's furnace poker
and thrus it into the stove, while
he made an opening in the snow
wall, or. rather, partial opening,
for he left thin sheet of ice on
the outer side. AS soon as the
poker was red hot, he said to his
comrades, who stood eagerly
watching him, wondering.
This red hot bar will keep off
the bears when they try to get hold
of it, and we shall be able easily to
fire across it without letting them
snatch away our guns"

The first business next day was
to arrange for hunt. 1t was set
tied that Altamont, Bell and Hat
teras should form the party, Claw
bonny should go and explore as far
as Isle Johnson, and make some
photographic notes, and Johnson
should remain bbehind to keep
house.
At 8 o'clock they started, accom-
panied by Duke, who frisked and
gamboled with delight. They had
been gone about an hour when
Johnson suddenly heard the report
OF gun.
Capital" he exclaimed. "They
have found something, and pretty
quick, too"
A second and a third shot fol-
lowed.
"Bravo!" again exclaimed the
boatswain; they have fallen in
luck's way"
But when three more shots came
in rapid succession the old man
turned pale, and thought crossed
his mind which made him rush out
and climb hastily to the top of the
cone.
He shuddered at the sight which
met his eyes.
The three hunters, followed by
Duke, were tearing home at full
speed, followed by the five huge
bears! Their six bullets had evil
IDENTIFY had no effect. The monsters
were close on their heels.
Hatteras, who brought up the
rear, could only manage to keep off
his pursuers by flinging down one
article after another-first his cap,
then his Ratchet, and, finally, his
gun. He knew that the inquisitive
bears would stop and examine
every object, shifting all round it,
and this gave him a little time,
otherwise he could not have es-
capped, for these animals outstrip
the fleetest horse, and one mon
ster was so near that Hateras had
to Brandish his knife vigorously, to
ward off tremendous blow from
his paw.
At last, though painting and out
of breath, the three men reached
Johnson safely, and slid down the
rock with him into the snow house.
The bears stopped short on the up
per plateau, and Hatteras and his
companions lost no time in barring
and barricading them out.
Here we are at last!" exclaimed
Hatteras, I'VE can defend ourselves
better now. 1t is five against five"

pointing to the empty sitting room.

"A bad job for him. said Bell.
But we can't leave him to his
fate. in this fashion," said Alta
mont.
mo, let's be off to him at once"
replied Hatteras.
He opened the door, but soon
shut it, narrowly escaping a bears
hug.
They are there" he exclaimed.
"All?" asked Bell.
1.-THE whole pack"
Altamont rushed to the windows,
and began to fill up the deep en-
brasure with blocks of ice, which
he broke off the walls of the house.
His companions followed his ex-
ample silently. Not a sound was
heard but the low, deep growl of
Duke.
They were beseiged.
All were worried about the good
doctor.
I'VE must get rid of the bears
before he comes" said Hatteras.
But how?" asked Bell.
1t was difficult to reply to this. A
sortie was out of the question.
They could hear the bears prowl-
ing about outside, growing and
scraping the walls with their enor-
nous paws.
However, action must be taken
