Washington.-The most complete

epidemic Of the deadly bubonic plague

Surgeon Rupert Blue of the United

How direct contagion is conveyed

In the south, he says, the alligator de-
stroys many rats along the levees and

enemies Of the rodent.
In the chapter showing the destruc

stances are given Mail sacks are
eaten by rats. They have destroyed
cargoes of ivory; dikes and dams have
been broken down by rats. At Ham.
burg, Carl Hagenback had to kill three
African elephants because rats had
gnawed their feet, inf1icting incurable
wounds.
The fact that within 15 years the
dread bubonic plague has spread to na
less than 81 countries is declared evt
dence that the measures taken against
rats have not been efficient.
