THE CAUSES OF MALARIA.
Article bv II. +. AlCiatOre Declares Climate
Has Nothing TO Do With Disease.

H. F. Alciatore, section director
of the weather bureau, has pre-
pared an exhaustive article for a
special bulletin to be issued by the
Little Rock Board of Trade on
The ClimatoIogy of Malaria. :
which dissipates the belief of many
that malaria is a climatic disease.
The geographical distribution
of this disease is wider than some
people think for, says Mr.. Alicia
tore, as malaria is found in por-
tons of New England, New Jersey,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, as
well as in the Southern states.
Prof. [. o. Howard of Washing
ton, D. c., chief entomologist of
the department of agriculture, has
stated that the disease known as
malaria. or fever and ague, or chills
and fever. or swamp fever, and the
varieties called intermittent, remit
tent and pernicious fevers, are
caused by parasites in the the
blood, which feed upon the red
blood cells and destroy them. Mill
ions upon millions of them may ex-
list in the blood. BY subdivision.
the parasites produce spores, and
it is when these spores escape
from the red blood cells that the
fever begins. The fever is caused
by a little poison which escapes
from each parasite with the
spores.
The malaria parasites are not
found in air. water or food, says
Mr. Aleiatore. There is but one
way known to science in which a
person may contract malaria. VIZ,
by being bitten by an infected fe.
male Anopheles mosquito. About
30 species of mosquitoes have
been found, only one of which is
known to transmit malaria. ="
Mr. Alciatore relates the follow
ing as an example of popular ig
norance on this subject:
A few days ago Chicago trav-
cling man remarked in my pres
ence that he contracted chills and
fever every time he came South.
This remark struck me as being SO
unreasonable and unfair that my
senoe of justice prompted me to
say: My friend. you are wrong.
AS matter of fact, you do not
have chills and fever because you
come South, but because whenever
you come South you do not know
enough, or care enough to protect
Yourself from the malarial mos
quito. Furthermore, if you travel
ing men would compel hotel keep
ers to furnish you with screened
rooms, or if you carried portable
mosquito nets and made use of
them, you would never contract
the disease. .
There are regions in the United
States, he says, that are warmer
and more moist than Arkansas.
where malaria is unknown.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. a.
Strike conditions here are un-
changed today. There has been
no open fighting, but the smould-
ering anger underneath is grow
ing.
Last night an open clash was
narrowly averted.
A woman in delicate health was
ordered by a militiaman to "stop
standing in the doorway" The
doorway was that of her hus-
hands place of business.
The woman refused to obey.
The soldier placed his bayonet
against his breast
"Get inside" he said, cor I'll
push you in with this"
The woman still would not
move. A man inside the store
pulled her in, She tainted.
A number of strikers witness
ed the scene. They growled
threats at the soldier: They were
scattered by other /militiamen,
who ran up at the double when
the crowd began to gather.
Another similar incident oc-
Cured shortly afterwards.
A man leaned from a second
story window, to call to a friend.
"Stick your head back in that
window, or I'll shoot" ordered a
militiaman, levelling his rifle.
The man tore open his coat.
"Shoot if YOU dare" he cried.
Friends of the man pulled him in
side.

At another English church, that Of

during the middle of the last century
for one 81 the churchwardens to pro
coed through the church during service
with huge wand in his hand where
with II any one Of the congregation

In Warwickshire a similar custom
prevailed A warden bearing a stout
wand shaped like a hay fork at the end
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and the aisles, and whenever he
saw an individual asleep he touched
him so effectively that the nap was
broken, this being sometimes accom-
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape Of the neck
A more playful method obtained In
another church. The beadle went about
during service carrying a long stan, to
one end Of which was attached a fox's
brush and TO the other a knob. With
the former he gently tickled the faces
OF the women sleepers, while with the
knob he bestowed a sharp rap on the
