seems that millions Of billions of
plague germs, at present the guests Of
Suffolk and other rats, may be pre-
pairing a very unpleasant surprise. 1t
is as well to be forewarned and to real
ize that the plague is actually in Eng
land after an absence Of 245 years.
There is no doubt about its presence.
1t has been found epidemic on a large
scale among south country rats, has
killed hares and is probably rife
among other susceptible animals.
Worse still. it is now known that at
least ten or a dozen people died Of
plague last autumn.
Now. plague does not spread among
human beings when the mean temper
allure Is below so degrees Since some
time In October the mean temperature
has been below so. but any day now
II may rise above that point. Then
viii come the opportunity Of the plague
germs.
And there can be no doubt that we
shall have plague, on a small scale at
least. Whether sanitary science will
succeed In limiting its ravages remains
TO be seen.
The plague germs live normally in
rats. and they are brought to rs by
6eas and flies. The chief sanitary
measures consist of the destruction Of
rats, flies and fieas.-Pearson's Weekly.
