Manurina With Mud.

In China and Japan, according to
Professor F. H. King, as much labor
and time are spent in special fertiliza-
ton of the soil as in seeding and har-
vesting the crops. In addition to
barnyard and household manure, great
quantities of bean, rape seed, cotton
seen and peanut oil cake are used as
fertilizers, and an enormous tonnage
of canal, reservoir and river mud is
also applied. Single dressings of mud
sometimes amount to from 70 to 100
tons per acre. The practice of irri-
cation is very extensive, and all ir-
rigated areas are placed under condi
lions which practically eliminate sur
face erosion. Both canal and reser-
voir mud are fermented in organic
matter to be used as fertilizers The
Mongolians practice systematically
the culture of legumes as source Of
nitrogen. The dense population and
increasingly smaller holdings both
necessitate and render possible the
bestowal of extreme personal care
upon the crops. "a

VACUUM AIDS IN OPERATIONS
Patients Lungs to Prevent Them
From Collapsing.

New York-A new kind of operat-
ing room-the first of it's kind in the
United States. has been opened at
the German hospital. In one Of two
steel vaults of the room the patient
can be operated on in partial
vacuum where the air pressure
against his body is equal to that on
mountain top 10000 feet high. In
another steel vault the patients head
may be inclosed in compressed air
cell which will carry air to his lungs
at increased pressure.
The compressed air is forced into
the patients lungs so they viii not
collapse when the lung casing is cut
into. Heretofore surgeons have
been reluctant to perform operations
making necessary any interference
with the organs above the upper
stomach wall, the reason being that
there was almost invariably a col.
lapse of the lungs, followed by q,
shock that in many cases proved
fatal. The complicated machinery by
which a partial vacuum is produced
in one operating chamber and an ex-
ira pressure of air in another was
constructed in this city and set up
in a new wing of the German hos
pital built especially for it,

RATS CAUSE PLAGUE

from various parts were examined
none of them were found to be in
fected. In the infected area rat de-
struction has been hampered by the
failure of some owners of property to
cooperate. 1t is suggested that the
question may arise whether the local
authorities may not have to compel
the assistance of individual owners
and occupiers in destroying rats on
their premises and rendering their
premises and food stores fairly safe
against invasion by rats"
In December, 1910, a systematic ex
animation of rats from a belt of coun-
try round the infected districts was
carried out. Altogether SOIL rats
were examined and none showed
traces of plague. Rat fleas from the
it was found that the number per rat
is small. From SOS rats only 584 f1eas
were obtained, and of these about half
were of a kind that does not bite
man. The other kind readily bites
man and was found in many cases to
be infected. The test was made in
November, and it is not certain wheth-
er the comparative freedom of the
English rat from fleas holds good in
the summer.
The probable channel by which
plague was introduced was infected
rats, imported with foreign grain. But
it is pointed out that no other in
stance, with the possible exception of
Glasgow, has been known in this
country of the spread of plague from
ship rats beyond the limits of port.
This is reassuring, the more so as if
there had been any such spread it
would have been indicated by exces
sive mortality in rats.
'The evidence appears to indicate
that rat plague has been present for
several years in East Suffolk. Never
theless, during that time only three
very limited outbreaks of probable hu
man plague have occurred, showing
that under the conditions there exis-
tent human infection is an excep-
tional and, as it were, an accidental
phenomenon. AS is well known. the

London.-Three reports of the ex-
tremest Importance, dealing with the
suspected cases of human plague in
East Suffolk. and more especially with
an epidemic Of plague in rats, were
issued the other day by the local gov
eminent board with a covering letter
by DR.. Newsholme, the medical Off
Ger of the board
The history of the outbreak, which
has been the subject of many articles
in the Daily Mail, is as follows: On
October 2, 1910, four cases of pneu-
monte plague were notified to the
board at Preston in Suffolk. All four
persons affected died, and it is a rea-
sonable inference" says DR.. News
holme, that the cases may have been
plague; and there is a further posi-
bility that two previous limited out
breaks of illness in the same part of
East Suffolk may also have been
plague"
On investigation being made it be-
came clear that rats were infected.
Rats and hares found dead were bacte-
r1ologically examined and proved to
have had plague. At first the infect
ed animals were found only in the
portion of the Sanford rural district
between the Orwell and the Stour. But
in the middle of November the Wood
bridge, Cosford and Tendring dis
tricts were also affected.
From the first it was realized that
grave significance attached to the
presence of focus, of plague in ro-
dents in East Suffolk" DR.. Newsholme
says, and the local authorities were
urged to show activity in meeting the
danger. Other sanitary authorities in
England were warned, but though rats

possibilities of spread of plague from
rats to man are much smaller in this
country than in India"
Bubonic plague is spread by rat
feas. Pneumonia plague, however,
can spread from human being to hu-
man being, especially where the do
nestle conditions are uncleanly. The
precaution of regarding all cases OF
pneumonia in a suspected district as
plague, obtaining archaeological an
alysis and securing isolation is recon-
mended.
"a considerable outbreak OF human
plague might be anticipated" DR..
Newsholme concludes, IF such fail
ure to recognize early cases occurred
in a district in which the conditions
favored spread by direct infection
by means of feas."
