or rats. in which mar participated.
Dr. Borrel. in 1902, made Il thorough
study of the propagation of plague
from eastern countries to Europe on
board ship, all Tho ports of call being
successfully contaminated by pestifcr-
GUS rats.
These facts have been 50 frequently
verified that they are now definitely
accepted. The rates affected by the
plague are, in order of frequency, the
brown Norway rat, the. black rat, and
the common mouse. But other rod
rntS not belonging to the rat family
may also he the aus of the plague.
The pest is also rather frequent among
squirrels and among the t%arbagans. Il
species of marmots found on the
shores of Lake I;aikal.
Plague epidemicS always originate
from the same rrDterS, situated in diff
lcrcnt parts of the world. in India, the
Yemen, and III kurdistan. Yunnan is
the place of origin of all the cpidcmics
which have ragged since 1894, With the
exception of the last, the pulmonary
plague of Manchuria, the origin of
which occurred in the regions adjoin-
ing lake l!aikal, where the tarbagan
has its habitat.
Cases of indirect contagion are Very
interesting. for these arc caused by
feas as Intermediates. l'leas abound
in Asia, and. though parasitic on the
rat. they readily bite man and various
animals. This fact was lrst suspected
and subsequently proved 10y Or. ST.
mond in 1897. 1t was definitely cor
r%oborated Ivy the British commission
i'm India. The latter body demonstrate

Flcas may thus playa principal role
in tho transmission of the plague,
while rats, beavers. or squirrels may
constitute reserves of the virus.

the plague must therefore he directed

Although it is still doubtful wheth-
err rats may transmit hydrophobia and
military fever. it is incontestable that
they are guilty Of transmitting the bu-
bonfc pest. From the most remote
times the presence OF rats during
plague epidemics has attracted the at
tention Of observers. At the present
day in Yunnan bubonic plague is
known as the rat disease"
DR.. Yersin. after discovering the mi
crobe of the bubonic pest. observed
during the Hongkong epidemic in
1894 that in the infected quarters
numerous rats were lying dead on the
ground. and that almost all contained
great numbers Of the pest microbe in
their organs. In 1898 DR.. Simond
gave a convincing demonstration of
the fact that rats transmit plague.
After studying the epideInics in India
in 1895. 1897 and 1898, DIR. Koch, in

ROCK ISLANDS RIOT.

All accounts agree in ascribing tc
the mayor of Rock Island, the city's
first commission government cxecu-
tive, an arbitrariness amounting al
most to despotism, which may e
plain-although. Of course, it cannot
excuse-the riotous frenzy Of his op-
ponents. The mayors claim of at
tempting to clean up the town is
characterized by his enemies as rather
an effort to drive out those who OPP
posed his plans to build up a personal
political machine and to perpetuate
his grip on the municipal government
Be that as it may and his motives
what they might be. his resort to per-
sonal force to suppress an opposing
editor and the c~onf1scation of the
publication was without the shadow
of law or reason and set the example
for anarchic outbreak of bis enemies
later. If the offending critic had ov-
erstepped the boundaries Of the law
it was the mayors place to appeal
to the law for protection, not to com
init an assault upon the publisher
and to destroy his property.
On the other hand. no matter
whether the mayor so far forgot him
self as to set an example of personal
lawlessness hat cannot mitigate in

lence by his opponents. The ensuing
riots give color to the mayors state
ment that he has been fought by the
vicious element because his enemies
so confess themselves by their acts.
The prompt dispatch Of the troops
by the governor was doubly neecs-
sary to, restore law and order men,
aced equally. apparently, by the may
or and by the mob.

DESTROY THE RAT is THE
SLOGAN OF Dl1zATD0M

whether as transmitter of disease
or as a simple agent of destruction,
the rat is an animal which must be
destroyed at the cost of any effort. In
an interesting work published under
the title, La Lutte contre le Rat" DIR.
l.agarriguc has described at great
lenkth the ariou means which have
proved most successful for this pur-
pose up to the present. The measures
recommended by him as indicated
subsequently are justified by the mis-
deeds imputablc to these rodents,
The term rat" comprises i'm reality
various species OF rodents belonging to
the family of muridac. the principal
being the brown Norway rat. the black
rat, the common mouse. the field
mouse and the field mole.
The brown Norway rat is now very
common almost everywhere. 1t came
originally from India and Persia. and
seems to have appeared in Europe
first about the middle Of the seven
tecnth century. 1t has spread all over
the world. its diffusion being favored
by the extension Of commerce The

The black rat has a thin tail, which
Is longer by 5 centimeters than the
body (15 centimeters). it's claws are
devoid OF n membrane, while its
coat is ordinarily black on the back
and gray below. One variety is known
which is white below. 1t is found to
some extent IN all parts Of Europe,
and is particularly common in Egypt.
