AS sterile buildings can be erected by Or
binary labourers, they are especially adapted
for export to places where the wages of pro-
fessional workers are high.
Outside Europe, Sterile buildings are in
use in the West Indies and Northern Green
land, by which their capability of resisting
heat as we'll as cold has been proved.
Sterile buildings are principally used for
villas, summer-residences marine-hotels hos
pitfalls, pavillions, school barracks, military
barracks, sport pavillions &c.
*AbOye picture shows a standard type for
oversee export. AS this type is intended for
export to places where the special purpose
of the building cannot be given beforehand,
the design has been made SO simple that it
IS possible to alter the size Of the rooms at
pleasure. All wall plates being of equal
Width, the size of the building may also be
easily altered by removing or adding any
number of plates in the side walls.
Besides the picture above described
there is given a view of our Leper Asylum,
where all the buildings are constructed of the
material described III the above article.

NO DANGER HERE, NEW YORK;
AYERS DIR. DOrY.

Accounts of the havoc wrought by the
sweep of the Monaghan plague over Man
churia contained in special cable dispatches
to the Herald from Pekin yesterday attract
ed widespread interest in medical circles.
PhySicians agreed that while the pneuno-
mic type of the plague, the form now preva-
lent in Manchuria, is attended with a much
higher PERCENTAGE of mortality than the bet
ter known bubonic type, the former is not so
likely to be carried into other countries. The
differences III the manifestations of the two
forms of disease, which are caused by the
same specific organism, are believed by ply
sicians to be due to varying conditions of vi
tality. The pneumonia type is believed by
physicians to be developed most easily in
persons of low vitality.
Dr.. A. H. Doty, Health Officer CT the F TT,
declared that he had read the Hernld's des-
patch with interest and that the port of New
York is we'll guarded against the plague.

Reports from the Province of Shan-tung
show heavy increases of the disease at Che
Foo and along the Tien-Fsin Pukow Railway.
Al PekIn there are three additional infect
ed districts. One is in the southern city,
one in the Tartar city, near the Legations,
ana one in the western part Of tn" city, near
Btih-Sun's Palace. The authenticated cases
number only eighteen, but tie Ineffective
methods of coping with the disease have
aroused the local authorities, who fear many
cases may be concealed. j. X. OIL.

Pekin, 26 Jan.
DR.. Hsu, a Chinese, is dead at Hardin
DR.. Jackson, an English physician, is dead at
Mukden, and n japanese Physician is dead
ut Sing-min-Iin6, all as a result of personal
contact with cases of the plague.
DR.. Wu Lien Teh, a Chinese and a Cam
bridge graduate, who is in charge Of the
plague cases at Flu China Tien, telegraphs to
the Herald as follows =
can are agreed that the plague epidemic
is the worst known in many generations. The
direct infection is by means of the breath,
and the virulenco Of the microbe is increased
as it passes from man to nam, SO that
nobody is ever safe"
Foreigners Comparatively Safe.
In view of the many anxious inquiries
from the United States and Europe, Dir.
William ID. Owens, Passed Assistant Secre-
tnry of the American Legation, as we'll as
the Board Of Health, requests that the Her
aid state that experiences at Hardin, Mukden
and elsewhere show that foreigners liying in
the proper sanitary surroundings are in
little danger.
This is verified in a report received at
the Russian Legation to-day from General
Horvat, president Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway. Telegraphing from Hardin, General
Horvat states that the deaths among the
Russians are confined to physicians and san
ituiros who came III personal contact with
plague cases and a few of the lower class
living among the Chinese.
Dir. Wu-L LIEN -Teh reports that there were
16O deaths at Fu-Chia-T ion yesterday. Gen
eral Horyat says that Fu-Chia-Tien will daily
reap fully two hundred cases, and reports n
rapid spread of the disease along the rail
ways in all directions from Hardin, despite
the suppression of the third md fourth class
passenger service. An active ecrudesceuce
that has set in at Tsi-rsi-Hur and Asheho
shows one hundred cases daily. The same
Is true at Kwan9- Chang-Tse.
Practically every town and village within
a radius Of one hundred and fifty miles of
Hardin is infected. Most of them are en-
tirely devoid of medical aid, and the local
Chinese officials are pauicky and helpless.
General Horynt traces the inception of the
plague to trappers III "bartagen" skins from
Siberia. These skins first appeared in Man
churia in October and reached Hardin, the
native city, III November. The great demand
for the SKINS is due to their sale in Europe
and America as sables.
The Infected Districts.
The most extreme measures have been
adopted to stamp out the sale of these skins.
Special advices 10 the Wai-Wu-Pu TO day
state that Flu CHA lien has been divided
into four districts, aud II military force left
Pekin tonight carrying forty army physi-
clans, while the troops there have been in
creased to 200 men.
There were sixty deaths at Mukden yestcr-
day. All passengers from Europe have been
held up at Mukden by the stoppage of
southbouud trains to Ten Tsin.

According to a. report by the Superinten-
dent of Agriculture, Barbados, for December
last, the condition of the sugar crop is fairly
good; although in some districts, where the
rainfall has been'below the average, the ratoou
canes are showing unsatisfactory growth,
and many of them are suffering from root
disease. Cotton is being picked as quickly
as labour conditions will allow; picking is
being retarded to some extent by slight
showers. Ibid.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEEDS.

A short note on the various methods by
which weeds may be distributed is giveL in
Nature for October 27, 1910. This contains
an interesting instance Of a way in which
such distribution may take place, in con-
nexion with the exhibition of commercial
activity.
1t appears that, a few months ago, an ad-
vertisement resembling q paper butterfly
was distributed in various countries, inelud-
ing Australia. Affixed to this was the burr
OF the buIdock (Arctiun Lappal, which ap-
parently was attached for purposes Of novel
ty and attraction. The agricultural Gosette
OF Neag South Yates, for August 2, 1910,
has the following statement with reference
to this: The Chief Quarantine Officer for
Plants has informed the Under-Secretary for
Agriculture of a most extraordinary method
whereby an Objectionable weed might be
broadcasted throughout the State. 1t up
pears that, as an advertising medium, some
printed paper, representative of a flying in
sect, has been sent to Australia, aud the
genius who invented this particular style of
advertisement, in an endeavour to make it
more realistic or comma had attached 10
each specimen the burr or seed of the noxi-
GUS weed burdock( 1rcti1u2 Lappa). The
authorities in Western Australia had called
the attention of the Director of Quarantine
to The use to which the burr of this noxious
weed was being put 1t is needless to say
that business firms stopped the issue of the
advertisement under notice as soon as they
knew there was a serious objection to it's
use.
This forms a notable Illustration of the
unsupported ways in which harmful plnuts
may be introduced into a new country, and
furnishes an argument for the exercise of
vigilance in regard TO this matter, especially
whore agriculture is the staple industry of q
eountry.-1 qricuLtlMuk Neacs, 81 Jun.

rushed the guard suddenly dashed into
the tent and cut the Governor to
pieces.
In the meantime an alarm had been

protested that Wu's professions OF
loyalty to the throne were false and
that he was secretly urging massa-

had fallen into the rebels hands, seem
to have rested on the fact that sew
