now seldom misses an opportunity OF
warning German students to moderate
their drinking habits, and to adopt
rather the American madel of student
life. Several days ago, upon the &C.
casion of presenting a flag to the
Gymnasium at Cassel where he was
perpared for the university, in order
to commemorate his connection with
that school he made brief address
to the students of the senior class,

spread of the sleeping sickness in
that colony. Hitherto it had been
supposed thai the tsetse fly, the cause
of the disease bred almost exclusive

methods of combating the pest has
hitherto been to cut down the trees
along the lakes and rivers and to pre-
vent the Shorthand from becoming
overgrown with high grass and reeds.
Zimmerman found, however, that the
fly finds one of its favorite haunts in
groves of oil palm. He mentions
the case of two huge palm groves ag-

Usambura at the northern end of
Lake Tanganyika, in which natives
are rapidly dying off. There was
formerly dense population in the
groves, but now there are only about
200 persons left, and the physicians
say that fully half of these are af-
fected. and it is only a question of
time, till the groves will be completely
depopulated and revert to wilderness.
