The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-02-03

The following history of the plague
which is now raging in China is oy
Frederick j. Haskin:
The black death, which devastated
and literally decimated the whole |
world in the fourteenth century, was
somewhat similar to its predecessor
and successor, the plague, with which,
however, it should not be confounded.
The name "black death" arose from
the color of the spots or tumors
which appeared on the bodies of its
victims just before or soon after de-
cease. The crude medical practice of
the day offered neither remedy nor
cure. Those who were attacked invar
iably died in from forty eight to six
ty-two hours, and many sought by
self slaughter to anticipate their in
evitable doom.
Like the plague, the black death was
of oriental origin-probably Chinese.
From 1888 to 1860 all Asia and Europe
were racked and ravaged by a long
series of natural commissions and dis
asters-earthquake droughts, floods,
tornadoes, swarms of locusts, and the
resultant famines. The chronicles Of
the time record that the order of the
seasons seemed to have been reserved.
Thunder storms ragged in the dead OF
winter, volcanoes long extinct became
rointy
and the sun glared necessarily from
skies of brass.
Activities Fatal to Life.
These malign activities were fata
to all kinds of animal life. Over H.
limitable areas there resulted a vas
decomposition Of organic masses, car
cases of men and women, fish, fow
and vegetable matter. This, according
to both earlier and later theorists
gave rise to mephitic vapors whicl
rendered the very air unfit to breathe
Indeed tracing the fifteen-year marcl
of the black death from east to west
it was declared that the putrid clou'
actually was visible as it mounte
from horizon to zenith, so that -
dense and awful fog was seen in tn
heavens descending upon Italy TN
view is borne out by the further re
corded fact that the organs of breath
ing were first attacked. Stupor an
death speedily followed.
Exact figures of the stupendous NOR
tality reaped by the black death ar
