Ever Eat crawfish soup?

We see in a newspaper an adver.
tisement that reads thus: "Crawfish
soup today" We would not object to
trying it. The crawfish is trim and
clean little animal. Its habits are
fine. and 1t lives pure and happy

much as lobster. for 1t belongs to
the same family. and is certainly the
more fascinating member of It.

It might have been one of the Joys

for crawfish would have been ia
vorite sport II the search wound up

once with mussels. but 1t didn't work.
They didn't have the faintest flavor
of an oyster. It would have been a
great satisfaction, for mussels were
plentiful in boyhood days.

sess almost any form except beauti-
full one; he may be of any color.
He has the reputation of being able
to stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive.
He is regarded as being able to re-
sist disease better than the improved
breeds Of hogs. We very much doubt
whether this quality attributed to the
scrub hog is true, since we have no.
ticed that hog cholera takes the scrub
as well as the well bred hog.
One thing is sure that the scrub
hog can consume more valuable feed
and give less in return than any other
animal that we know of.
A farmer who owns herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn
crib than his hogs.
He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact If he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred hogs he would never own better
ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he is not able to
buy better stock. In fact, this is the
excuse usually given for his exist
ence. Poor farming and scrub hogs
are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear companions.
Both make rapid retreat before a
progressive spirit and there is not a
better evidence of the general progress
siveness of people than the absence
of the scrub hog from community.

ness thus appeared to be OF relatively
simple solution. There were two as-
pects to the case-flrst the infection
of human beings by the fly, and sec
ondly. the infection of the fly from
infected human beings.
It was considered, therefore, that
the disease could be stayed If, first,
the chances of exposure to the fly
were diminished, and. secondly, If the
fly were prevented from being infect
ed by removing the sick from the fly
area. An elaborate experiment of this
kind was made onS the northern shore
OF Lake Victoria. Along the whole
lake shore, from Ruddhu to the Ripon
Falls, the natives were removed, the
sick were segregated into camps, the
holdings were evacuated and burnt,
and the banana plantations were al
lowed to go to waste. The willing CO.
operation of the chiefs in this tire.
mendous task is complete proof of
the extraordinary hold the disease has
got on the native population.
In the segregation camps to which
the sick had been conveyed various
remedies sent out from Europe were
tried, but with little success. It is
conceded on all hands that the patient
with definite evidence of sleeping
sickness upon him is doomed. The
clearing Of the lake shore was made
on the basis Of the view that the
tsetse fly does not remain infective

is an improbable animal any way you

Is failure. Even his ability to shift

creases the prolongation Of the infec-
tive period almost indefinitely. To
what extent this period of infectivity
occurs in flies which have sucked
blood is not yet known.
1t Is also suggested tina. in addi-
ton to man the trypanosoma may
pass its existence in the bodies of
other vertebrates such as the croco-
die according to Koch, and various
wild herbivorous animals according
to others. In the last year or two the
very important doubt has also been
raised as to whether gfossina palpalis
is the exclusive carrier Of the human
trypanosomes. Thus cases of sleep
ing sickness have occurred in the val
ley Of the Loangwa, tributary OF the
Zambesi in northeastern Rhodesia.
Up to the present glosina palpalis has
not been found there, the main tsetses
being G.. morsitans and G. fusca,
which hitherto have been exculpated
as carriers Of trypanosoma gambiense.
A new expedition is proceeding to
northeast Rhodesia to investigate the
subject and the whole question of pos
sible spread of sleeping sickness in
consequence Of the construction Of the
MISUNDERSTANDING junction railway
from the Broken Hill mine in north
ern Rhodesia to the Congo State from
tier and beyond.
Down to 1902 all kinds Of theories
were rife as to the nature of sleeping
sickness. but since this year we have
witnessed the results of the combina-
ton Of scientific and archaeological
observations. The cause Of the dis
ease is known-its method of propa-
cation in part at any rate. The pre-
ventive plans hitherto. undertaken are
in the right direction even If not 80
complete as was supposed. The geo
graphical distribution OF tsetse flies
and sleeping sickness is being rapidly
determined. What still wants solution
are the studies on the more detailed
life histories of the flies and the try
panosomes and synthetic remedies for
the cure of the unfortunate victims of
the disease.
| These studies are not merely OF
scientific or humane interest but of
vast commercial importance In con-
nection with the development Of equa-
torial Africa.
