Rats are regarded as the most dan.
gerous p%ropagators of the bubonic4
plague that is raging in the East, and
the matter has been under considera-
ton by the Russian military authori-
ties east Of the Caucasus. They be.
heve in killing of the rats to check
the spread Of the disease. But some of
the methods they propose to employ
will arouse the special wonder even Of
an age which is accustomed to remark
able developments. The military in.
spector of the district in question has
issued an order in which is set forth
1.-THE hypnotic influence of music, as
employed by wizards and Witches"
and 1t is remarked that this should not
be ignored. In fact, the methods by
which rat-catchers can lure their prey
from the hiding places are specified,
and the order concludes with the as.
sumption that ut is very possible that
among the soldiers of the Caucasian
military district there are such wiz.
ards" If there is a pied piper in the
Russian army he may now proceed to
get busy.

HEALTH OF THE ARMY.

The general health Of the army was
sairly satisfactory during the year.
There was q somewhat alarming in.
crease Of venereal diseases, and the ad-
mission and death rate for tuberculosis
were high-higher, in fact, than in any
armies, except those of the Spanish,
French and Dutch, says the New York
Globe. In this connection better ven.
tilation Of barracks is urged. Over.
crowded guardhouses are still common

amined, and 142.69 per 1000 rejected

There was not a single case of cholera
among white American troops in the
Philippines, and but seven of the ma.
tive soldiers died of the disease, al.
though the nonmilitary natives were
badly stricken. This remarkable result
was achieved by the use of sterilized
water and %abstention from uncooked
native vegetables. There was a gen.
eral decrease of malarial Infection.
The Alaska station was, as heretofore,
the most healthful. The surgeon gen.
'eral makes a strong plea for compul-
tsory antityphoid vaccination, which he
considers safe and unquestionably val
liable.

The delegates are from all parts or

The display OF mill machinery, mucn

ure OF the convention. In addition TO
the miniature -four mill, which turns
out real flour, there Is an up-to-date
bakery operated In the lower part or
the assembly hall. The display OF the
different agricultural colleges and ex-

One OF the most important subjects
q come up for discussion Is the

grades raises and the price OF bread.
Mr.. Mueller declared.
The prime object in having the ex-
