A dangerous parasite Of many OF thu
cereal plants Is the fungus that pro
duces in the grain or head what Is
known as smut There are several
well known kinds OF smut. each Of
which Is caused By a distinct species
Of the fungus.
The greatest loss from smuts In this
country Is from the sinking smut OF
wheat and the loose smut OF oats A
considerable loss Is also due to the
loose SHUTS Of barley and wheat
which are more difficult to control and
prevent They are widely distributed
and though they occur usually in small
quantities the damage in the aggregate
is large. They often are entirely IN
noticed on account OF their earliness
and the absence OF any conspicuous
sign Of them at harvest time
The sinking smut OF wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut balls
which do not break until the wheat IA
threshed and often remain intact to

MALARIA RACES IN INDIA.
Death Rate Mounts High-Conference
to Be Held in Simla.

to Be Held in Simla.
Calcutta, Oct. 25.-An important
official conference will assemble at
Simla this month, charged with the
duty of examining the whole question
of malaria and drawing up plan of
campaign for the consideration of the
government of India and the local gov
ernments. This special inquiry has
been instituted by the governor general
in council as the result of a proposal
put forward by the sanitary commits
sioner that q permanent organization
should be formed to investigate syste-
matically the problem connected with
the disease. The official communique
on the subject points out that the num-
Der of deaths ascribed to fever through
out India approximates $500, 900, rep
resenting a mean death rate of nearly
20 per l 900, and though this total is
greatly in excess of the actual figure,
owing to the general practice of ascrib-
ing to "fever" deaths which are in re-
atty due to other causes, yet it has been
estimated, from indications afforded by
certain special inquiries and by the dis
pensary returns, that the actual death
rate from malarial fever is about 5 per
1000. This represents about /, $780,
600 deaths, and az the mortality in
malarial fever is ordinarily low such a
death rate indicates terrible amount
of sickness, much of it preventsble.

ELECTRICITY Hardens Ore.

Berlin. Oct. 25.-German iron and
steel manufacturers are excited over
the successful solution of the problem
of making steel directly from iron ores
by electricity. This has occurred at
Dommeldingen, where an electrical
furnace has been producing steel for a
short time. Although the ores used
are low grade, and contain considera-
BILE percentage of phosphorus, the furn-
ace yielded steel fully equal to the
best grade made from Swedish ore.
The success of this invention is expect
ed to have a very far-reaching result.

Houston, Tex, Oct 25.-According
to the testimony of convicts before the
senatorial committee on investigation
at the penitentiary farms and camps in
Texas, deplorable conditions prevail in
several camps, while in others the OPP
posite is true. In one of the farms,
according to the evidence of those ques-
toned, not only is sanitation poor, but
those imprisoned are cruelty treated.
At the Ignite mine at Calvert, the
committee found most astounding con-
ditions, it is stated. According to the
testimony conditions on the farms have
been found poor for the greater part,
with ill-kept bunkhouses and no segre-
cation of those i'll. Food has been
complained of. But many of the farms
have their redeeming features Where
one poor condition obtains it is Offset
by an Improvement, so that in the
