DUTCH SPORTS.
Holland the Land of SIeighing, SIedg-
ing and Skating.

7otlano tne Land OF Sleighings Sledg-
ing and Skating.
Probably no other boys and girls had
better times than the Dutch boys and
girls in old and new Netherland. Hol-
land. says W. e. Griffis in his book.
"The Story IF New Netherland." is the
land of skates and sleighs. Children
and young people hardly learn to
skate; they begin it naturally and keep
it up all their lives. Whether for fun
or in parties or to go to the market. to
church. to weddings or funerals. they
move by rapid transit on steel. A pair
of skates is a passport to comrade-
ship.
Every habit and each trick known on
Holland canals or ponds was repro
duced on the Mohawk and Hudson
There was the iceboat or sailboat on
runners. sometimes reduced for swift
ness to long plank with crosspieces
for seats and with skate irons. Equip
ped with mast. canvas and some cour-
age, it seemed to race with the wind
itself.
AS for coasting, wherever fiat Hol-
land could show a hill or slope or
Friesland furnished a torp or artificial
mound there were the boys and girls
at fun. On the ice lady or lass sat in
a hand sleigh. while husband or swain
pushed as he skated.
All this shows the reason why New
burg-On-the- Hudson and Albany and
the hills of Dorp are so famous fol
coasting and the North river for ice
yachts and why from the first genera
tion of settlers the Dutch-America1
towns were noted for shedding. sleigh
ing and skating.

BUBONIC PLAGUE
INVADES CALIFORNIA
Oriental Disease Was Brought
Here by Rats.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The bubonic
plague, which claims thousands of vic
tins each year in the Orient, is now
epidemic in Californa for the first time
in the history of the United States,
and according to G. Hart Merriam,
chief of the bureau of biological sur
vey, who gave this information to the
house committee on agriculture, the
condition which confronts the govern
ment is serious. Mr.. Merriam appeared
before the house committee to give his
testimony as to the needs of the bio
logical survey. He declared that the
$25,000 which congress allowed him
last year for investigating the food
habits of birds and mammals would
hardly be sufficient this time, and gave
as the principal reason the fact that
his bureau is trying to devise an eco
nomical means of destroying gophers,
ground squirrels, rabbits, field mice
and other rodents which carry the
| plague.
"In the case of the California ground
squirrel" said Mr. Merriam, "we par
/ lCCl luC nCCu VI uOlu6 CAbOA-
| mination work on a sufficiently large
scale to find out just what we can do
and at approximately what it will cost.
AS you know, the California ground
squirrel is carrying the plague now
and is a menace to the whole country
Where does the ground squirrel
get the plague?" asked Chairman
Scott.
From the introduced European rats
about San Francisco bay" replied Mr.
Merriam. During the past year there
have been nine or ten cases of human
plague just east of San Francisco bay
To the south and southeast of the ba!
the disease can spread indefnitel!
over the rest of the state and thenc'
easterly over other states to the Gul
of Mexico, communicating every spe
cies of squirrel with which It comes il
contact and menacing the lives of tn
people. During the past few month
more than 300 ground squirrels hav
, been found infected with the plagu
by the marine hospital service in tn
region Immediately east of San FraI
