which is ravaging China is charged to a
fur-bearing animal. a marmot. called

marmot is subject to the plague, which
kills of an entire colony q the animals,
and trade in it's furs has become a prof
table means of livelihood for Chinese
| trappers.
| The present attack Of the disease first
| appeared among trappers on the plains
of eastern Mongolia, where the marmot
fourishes. The plague appears to be
practically endemic over the portions OF
eastern Mongolia inhabited by the little
| animals. The disease is propagated by
| the heas, which the animals always
carry, and perhaps also by direct in
lection. as In the case of a trapper
who should capture an animal suffering
from it.
The marnot is exceedingly plentiful
this year. and consequently the number
Of trappers has been greatly augmented
The trade has been SO extensive this
year that the trappers have migrated to

1t is said. the trappers, following the uni
versal Chinese custom, went to their
homes at the Chinese New Year. and
carried the infection to the southern
cities.
