AvAeEs OF THE RAT.


Dreadful Record Of Dissass Thst
Marks Ais Loathsonns Trail.
For one Of the most terrible Of all
diseases the rat Is now certainly known
to be responsible-the bubonic plague.
or .black DEATH" No scourge Of man
kind is more dreadful than this. states
q writer in McClure's. 1t was Staying
the Egyptians at the beginning of re-
corded history. A single epidemic cost
Athens a third of her citizens. At
Lyons in 1872 the pestilence killed 3d.
900 persons. Venice in 1915 lost 10000
During the great plague of London In
1905 6s.506 died out Of q population Of
100000. and the dead lay in the streets.
because the living were too few to
bury them.
Even as late as i771 an epidemic OF
the bubonic plague cost Moscow nearly
a fourth of its 100000 souls. But after
the last Parthian arrow the disease re-
tired to india and the region westward
toward the Mediterranean. which
seems to have been Its original home.
and after 1850 Europe and Africa were
free.
II broke out again In 1894 from
peculiarly vlrulent strain that had Its
habitat in certain districts Of northern
China. The army supply trains car
ried the rats and the rats carried the
bacillus PESTS from the Manchurian
frontier to the sea. From there 1t
made its way back by junks to Can
ton. where between March and An
gust of 1904 II killed upward Of 100000
persons. Thence the Chinese strain OF
the plague bacillus passed by ship to
Bombay and diffused itself through
India. Five million persons died Of
the pestilence in India during the six
years that ended with 1908. and 1t was
only with 1000 that the annual NOR
tally fell below 100000.
Before It was discovered that quar-
antine must include rats as well as
men this new Indo-C Chinese strain had
spread over the whole civilized world.

Why tn. sky 10 Blue.

The cause Of the blue tint Of the sky
has recently been the subject Of re-
newed discussion. According to one
view, the blue color is the effect Of
chemical matter in the air acting by
absorption. but most physicists deny
this on the ground that these chemical
substances present in the air would
cause the setting sun to be blue In
stead Of red. 1t seems probable TINT
the blue Of the sky is. In any case. not
due to particles of dust or Of water. as
has long been supposed. but In reality
to the Dispersal of light By the actual
molecules Of the air itself.
